PUBBER, one OF the most useful
materials In the modern world.
| which In its natural form is secured
from the sap of a tropical tree, is
now made alphabetically - another
victory for American scientists.
Coal, limestone. salt and water are
among the materials utilized in the
making of the new rubber. or "Du-
Prene", al 1t Is called. 1t sounds
simple. but 1t isn't. 1t took many
years to bring 1t about.
This new rubber Is, among other
things, more resistant than natural
rubber to the swelling action of
gasoline. kerosene, and other sol
vents, and more resistant to the ac-
ton OF the air and to other chemi-
calls that destroy rubber. 1t is re-
sistant to oil and vulcanizes by the
use of heat alone. Due to the
smaller size OF the particles In this
latex. 1t penetrates cloth. paper and
other fibrous materials more readi-
ly than natural rubber latex.
1t Is already being used by rub
Der manufacturers for purposes for
which 1t Is specially suited.

vest-thanksgiving ceremony In the
Middle-East. Elephants and vii
layers participate. The ceremony
Is known as Auth al-Mangalla."
1t begins with q procession to the
temple, and then proceeds to the
paddy (rlce) fields attached to the
temple, where the high priest reaps
a small quantity Of paddy. This is
heaped on the leading elephant, and
the procession starts back again to
the temple, where the priests thresh
the grains. The rice is then boiled
and offered to Buddha. Imme-
diately afterwards the villagers be-
gin the rice harvest.

In Tibet religion dominates the
life of the people as nowhere else

benefit Of clergy. Marriage Is not
a holy sacrament, writes Harrison
Foreman, In Cosmopolitan. In this
strange land exist, side by side,
more kinds of marriage than any
where else-and fewer divorces.
The Tibetan woman may divorce
her husband, or husbands, merely
by retoining her family, which will
welcome her gladly--and she will
have attained a higher marriage
value; and yet few Tibetan women
walk out" Ostensibly, the Tfb-

BALTIMORE, January 13.-The
State of Maryland, and especially Balti-

the Federal Government the past week
for failure to agree on projects under

ing implements.
The matter, hanging fire for several
months, was brought to q climax
Thursday when William Mueser, project
engineer Of the c. w. A., was sent to
Baltimore by Harry L. Hopkins, the
national administrator, to investigate
the delay In putting men to work here.
Mr.. Mueser warned Maryland G. w.
A. authorities that, unless projects were
agreed upon, tools provided and men
put to work at once, funds allotted to
Maryland and Baltimore would be
given to other States and cities.
"In some States and cities which are
financially solvent, we have insisted
they furnish all materials and tools, y
Mr.. Mueser said Maryland does not
want to be classed as q pauper State,
although we have permitted G. w. A.
funds to be used for purchase Of about

Baltimore City is one Of the two
which proclaims its financial sound
ness in page advertisements. 1t has
money in the bank.
TT must come across and make It's
contributions of materials and tools for
C. w. A. projects. Otherwise we will
use Baltimore's quota Of funds to feed
more people in other cities. If you
have no projects which do not eat up
so per cent Of the cost In materials
and tools, we must give the money to
other cities that are ready to use it to
give more Jobs to the starving"
It was found there are two chief
causes Of delay. One Is in supplying
materials and tools, caused partly by .
tool shortage and partly adherence to
the red tape Of regular Federal regula-
tions concerning Federal purchases.
Tool dealers, however, declare there Is
no shortage and point to the fact the
counties have been able to get the
necessary work implements.
The other is the refusal Of the Bal
timore City administration to spend Q
dollar Tor materials.
Except in communities which are
obviously broke. the Federal G. w. A.
administration has insisted that the
local communities bear their share Of
the expense Of materials, - the Fed
eral Government bears oil the labor
cost The limit Of c. w. A. expenditure
for materials on any project Is said 70
be around 20 per cent.

cost a Virginia farmer the price Of
four bushels of grain to purchase a

moonshine plant rather than buy legal
liquor.

the G. w. A. This State always has
been noted for its educational facilities.
Last Fall, however, about $50 teachers,
well qualified and willing to work, found

Curtailment had not been drastic, but
some had been necessary. Now, more
than half of those teachers who were
without jobs are employed. They are
helping those who didn't have a
chance or who did not take advantage
of that chance when it was available.
At any rate. these grown-up school boys
and girls seem to appreciate the op-

Subjects taught offer wide range.
The following are included: Art, book

Capital Punishment
Controversy Flares
In Massachusetts
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BOSTON, January 13.-The
spectacle Of four murderers await
ing electrocution here within q
period of three weeks has revived
the ancient controversy that has
ragged in Massachusetts, intermit-
tently over capital punishment.
One group wants the death
penalty imposed and carried out
in the belief that such procedure
will aid in minimizing a crime
wave rolling through the eastern
section of the State, while an
other group wants it abolished.
The four murderers awaiting
death in the chair are Herman
Snyder, John A. Donnellan,
Ahmed Ossman and Harry Clay
Bull. Snyder and Donnellan
succeeded in carrying their case
to the United States Supreme
Court before they lest out on a
5-to-4 decision, but plea for
communication Is being carried up
to Gov. Ely and the Executive
Council in a desperate move to
escape the chair.
The case of Bull has command
ed the attention of the United
States Senate Crime Investigating
Commission and also Influenced
the filing of legislative petition,
under the terms of which a jury
would be empowered to recon-
mend the death penalty or life
imprisonment for a f1rst-degree
conviction. Under the existing
statute the court has no alterna-
tive but to impose the death
penalty.
Senator Royal S. Copeland Of
New York, a member of the In
vestigation Commission, has ex-
pressed the opinion that Bull. a
resident of Brooklyn, should not
be sent to the chair in considera-
tion of all the circumstances sur
rounding his case.

Clash.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, January 49,
Signs that q time-honored political
feud has been renewed in Indiana can
be found as the time for the Spring
primary draws nearer.
Those ancient adversaries, James E..
Watson, formerly United States Sen
ator. and James P. Goodrich, formerly
Governor, are generally recognized as
the leaders around whom the opposing
forces are rallying.
The point at stake. of course, is the
Republican State organization, for IA
years loyal to Watson. Although re-
tired from the Senate in 1892 and dis
avowing political ambitions. Watson, it
seems, would like to keep his hand on
the organization, which viii be re-
vamped after the May primary.
Goodrich, wealthy and politically
astute, recently made an alliance with
Senator Arthur r. Robinson. who Is
up for denomination In the State con-
vention which will be held some time
In June.
