Estimate Based Upon Ac.

Secretary Wilbur

Washington, D. C.-If history
repeats itself, many thousands OF
children will be killed or manned
by automobiles within the next
twelve months in the United
States.
This statement, according to
DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secre-
tary of the Interior and chairman
of the White House Conference
on Child Health and Protection,
is based upon the accident statis-
tics of past years.
"When I was a boy" said Sec
rotary Wilbur, "the only thing we
feared out in the open country
was a rattlesnake. But the rattle
snake is a domestic pet compared
with the automobile. Rattlesnakes
may kill Q few thousand persons
a year in this country, but auto
mobiles kill thousands of children

tions are not as modern as our

voted his energies to perfecting a
practical extraction plant, crew Of
bontanistS have been at work breed
ing goldenrod to increase the rub
Der content. Both experiments now
are about SO per cent completed.
Edison has completed working
model OF his extraction plant, con-
sisting Of series Of eight boilers
connected b rubber and glass tub
ing with a &c bump between each.
A thick ju made from pulverized
golden re leaves and stems are
forced tn ugh the boilers, under
going a distillation process which
eliminates all the rubber ''latex."
With golden rod as the base Of
emergency supply, rubber could be
produced. Edison estimates, in six
months instead of the six years now
required by any other known pro-
cess.
