STEPHENSON SAYS WORST
FOR BANKING is PAST
BY the Associated Press.

COLUMBIA, s. c., May 23.-Rome
@. Stephenson of South Bend, Ind,
president of the American Bankers, AS
Sociation, told the South Carolina
Bankers Convention yesterday 1--WE may
feel confident that the worst is over In
respect to banking as well as in re-
spect to general business conditions"
although we cannot minimize - he
said, "the seriousness of the number of
bank failures during 1880, especially In
effect upon public sentiment regard
ing banking. we can confidently say that
the opening months of 1881 show con-
clusively that there has been very
marked improvement in this respect"
He said failures dropped from 344
the past December to 199 IN january
and rs In February.
"Of course, 1t must be remembered
that great many of the banks that
close are reopened after a reorganiza-
ton, and that many banks that remain
permanently closed pay all or a large
part of their obligations"

SAVANT PREDICTS
FARM CROP RUBBER
Akron Professor Seeks Pool
of Research Groups Into
One Institute.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. $50
AKRON, Ohio, February 17.-Use of
American farm products such as wheat
and potatoes for the manufacture of
rubber on a large scale Is seen as a
possibility by Prof. H. e. Simmons, head
of the Department of Chemistry of the
University of Akron, II the rubber in
dustry would pool its research acttvi-
ties.
Prof. Simmons, backed by the Uni
versity of Akron, is advocating the es-
tablishment of rubber research IN
stitute here. which would go thoroughly
into such important problems as the
theories of vulcanization and the forma-
ton of raw rubber.
He believes that such an institute,
established at the university at o cost
estimated around 100000, would re-
suit in saving Of millions to the rub
Der industry.
Slump Slows Plan.
Backing for the institute is being de-
layed by the business depression, Sim
mons said today, adding that he had
the approval of many rubber company
executives.
There is much duplication of effort
in rubber research Laboratories" said
Prof. Simmons. who has done extensive
rubber research himself, both into fun
damental problems as well as practical
applications
"Often. when I go into laboratory
Of rubber factory, am asked to keep
secret what Is going on there. but fire.
uuently it is the case that the same
thing is going on somewhere else.
Could Eliminate Plant.
eff these laboratories would pool
their knowledge into a research insti-
tute manned by competent rubber
chemists, we could solve many Of our
important problems. We may discover
the theories involved in such an
important process as vulcanization to
be very simple, and the discovery might
save tremendous amount Of money.
1--WE may discover ways OF making
rubber from farm products that would
eliminate the necessity of importing
raw rubber from foreign countries
making the growing of the rubber plant
as obsolete as the growing Of indigo fol
the manufacture of dyes"

INDIANS PREDICT WAR

TEMUCO, Chile up. - Araucanian
Indian mystics predict a new major
conflict soon between leading nations,
but not involving Chile.
The prophecy Is based on a super
stition, that when a flowery tree, the
quila, dries up, war comes.
1t is pointed out by the Indians that
in 1914 trees of this type began to
wither shortly before Germany invaded
Belgium.
