TESTS REVEAL NEW
SYNTHETIC RUBBER
Salt, Water and AcetyIene

AKRON. Ohio. November "A pinch

The synthetic rubber differs from the
natural product and Is announced as a

ing, w. H. Carothers and Ira Williams
Acetylene is treated to obtain chloro-
prene, which is converted from watery
state into a rubbery consistency by
what chemists call polymerization.
The new rubber was described as
having certain important differences
in properties fitting 1t for supplement-
ing many of the thousands Of uses Of
real rubber.
1t was claimed to be more resistant
than natural rubber to swelling action
Of kerosene, gasoline and other solvents
and more resistant to oxygen, ozone and
various other chemicals. It vulcanizes
with heat alone instead of with heat
and sulphur combined as in natural
rubber vulcaniZation.
The synthetic rubber is a milk white
latex, resembling the white fluid of
real rubber The artificial fluid Is COM
posed of vulcanized synthetic rubber
particles in water. This mixture dries
into a sheet of fully vulcanized rubber,
according to the scientific paper. 1t
was stated also that many porous
articles which resist impregnation Of
natural rubber absorb the new syn
thetic kind.

DAYLIGHT SAVING
STARTS APRIL 10
Five European Countries to
Turn Hands Back-Brit-
iSh Laud System.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 11.-Within another
week Europe's clocks. in those coun-
tries which lock kindly on the notion
Of daylight saving time, will slide for
ward for the Summer.
With so many contentious subjects
In hand Europe has not been able to
get excited over q daylight saving con-
troversy. The various countries just
take it or leave it as they choose and
at present only half a dozen nations
take it. These are France, Belgium,
Portugal, Spain, Holland and Great
Britain.
This year Summertime starts in
Holland on April S. and in all the
other daylight saving countries on
April 10. Neither Scandinavia, Ger
many. the Central European nor Balkan
states change their time.
Popular in Great Britain.
In Great Britain the saving of day
light during the many foggy months is
very popular because the native Britain
appreciates all the daylight he can get.
In fact, when the United States
weather Bureau declared that oayllgnC
saving is a nuisance" the Manchester
Guardian became an ardent editorial
champion of the time reform, declaring
that it Is possibly the one really SEN
sible innovation introduced during this
century"
THE American Government has
abandoned the principal of local option
regarding drink" the Guardian editorial
said. and retained 1t in the case of
daylight saving. Perhaps it would have
been better to reverse the policy"
The Guardian also maintained that
Summertime really never had a fair
trial in the United States, and that
with local option" on daylight saw
ing, and with four regular standard
times. the plight Of traveller was en-
barTassing.
Manchester Is Murky.
Manchester has reputation for con-
ttnual low visibility and general murki-
ness during the Summer, compared to
which Pittsburgh would seem a bril-
lantly day-lit city.
Some historians hold that the old
English joke about Summer coming on
Tuesday originated in Manchester, al
though others maintain that william
the Conqueror brought it over.
The British consensus Of opinion is
that any form which brings more day.
Light and little more sunshine is to
be defended against any attacks.

A three-mile race for safety In q
blazing bombardment plane in an effort
to reach a landing field before he was
DESTROYED by flames was made at
Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. recently by
Lieut.. H. G. Croker, Army Air Corps
test pilot, according to detailed report
of the accident received here by the
War Department.
Lieut.. Croker barely won his race,
landing with both engines dead, and an
instant after he touched the ground the
plane was enveloped in flames, which
destroyed everything but the motors.
Lieut.. Croker was flying the big
bomber, an experimental type, to deter
mine the amount Of vibration set up In
a new type engine mount. The Wbra-
ton was so excessive that an exhaust
stack was shaken of the rtght-hand
engine. A moment later fire broke out
in the left-hand engine cowling.
Engines Are KILLED"
Instantly shutting OF the gasoline,
killing both engines, Lieut.. Croker put
the plane in glide and considered
what to do. He was about three miles
from Wright Field, and decided to at
tempt to reach the field in a long glide
landing.
He knew that If the flames, which
were blowing back between the wings,
burned the fabric off either wing his
chances for a successful landing would
be small, especially without engine
power.
At the same time he realized that
once committed to his course Of a dead
stick landing he would in a few sec
onds be too low to make a parachute
Jump, even though the flames en-
yeloped the whole plane. He decidad to
stick with the plane, however, and
with his eyes on the flames, ne made
the three-mile glide and landed short
into the wind perfectly.
Courage and Skill Stressed.
Judgment, confidence, courage. skill
were attributes which made this posi-
ble,' said a report to the War Depart
ment What was the first chapter to
those who saw the plane land, appar-
emily in good condition, then suddenly
burst into flames, was the second chap
ter to Lieut.. Croker. Immediately he
seized the fire extinguisher-then was
forced to run. The climax OF the story
was a surprise even to him. But his
efforts to save the plane proved not
wholly in vain, for. although the plane
itself soon became a total loss, the two
engines were little burned and can be
salvaged."
Lieut.. Croker is regarded as one Of
the best test pilots in the Air Corps.
He was a wartime pilot and in 1928
won prominence by making the first
nonstop fight from the Gulf Of Mexico
to the Canadian border.
ITO the Army pilot, who after years
of experience still thinks of flying and
the advancement of flying as the most
worth while thing he can do in the
world" it is stated in the War Depart
ment report, there is no better job In
the Air Corps than that OF test pilot.
1t offers constant pioneering into the
unsolved aeronautical problems. con-

RED CROSS C0NFERS
ON AID IN GNAT AREA
Relief in Mississippi Valley States
Sought After Pests Cause
100000 Stock Loss.


CLARKSDALE, Miss, April INA
tional Red Cross workers conferred
here today IN quest of relief measures
for a new affliction Of the farmer-the
invasion of swarms of buffalo gnats,
which have taken q heavy toll Of live
stock in this area.
Lowlands near the Mississippi River
in Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas
appeared to be hardest hit by the pest.
Some batement of the invasion was
reported today but it was feared the
insects would reappear elsewhere. In
the area where the gnats swarmed,
Red Gross and State agencies joined
hands in speeding the burning of more
than 1000 animal carcases left in the
wake of the plague Convicts were
used extensively in this section in the
work Of disposal. The animals died
from stings or suffocation induced by
inhaling the gnats.
The most pressing need for relief
was among farmers whose Spring plant
ing operations have been crippled by
the loss Of mules and other live stock,
unof1cially valued at 100000.
