Immediately whenever ordered by
the commission.
The last provision should take
care of the national defense ques-
ton, he said, adding that in any
event his firm already was building
new ships to replace those it sought
to transfer.
No Question of Bad Faith.
Il want to emphasize that there
Is no question of bad faith here
Mr.. Franklin said. 1T is essential
that we continue service to our GUS
toners If we are to stay in business
A business without customers isn't
much of business.
1--WE are in a very serious predica-
ment. If we 60 out of business now
the customers we have been serving
will find other ways to carry on
their shipping and we can't just
come back in when we please and
say we've been out to lunch but here
We are and would like your bust
ness"
He said there was some sense" in
the idea that his ships might take
over routes forsaken by the British
to pick up the North Atlantic trade
but emphasized that this trade then
would be lost to American vessels
after the war is over.
Senators on both sides of the re-
cent controversy over enactment OF
the neutrality bill voiced vigorous
opposition to the ship transfer pro-
posal.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, who fought repeal of the arms
embargo, said that if the ship trans
fer was approved he would seek at
the next session of Congress tc
abolish the Maritime Commission
Clearly to me-" Senator Clark
said, this proposed ship transfer
is a violation of the letter as well
as the spirit of the law. 1t clearly
demonstrates the wisdom of those OF
us who wanted to keep Congress in
session"
Calls 1t COURAGEOUS"
Senator Schwellenbach, Democrat
of Washington, who supported the
neutrality bill, said he thought the
proposed transfer of registry was
courageous and IAN evasion of the
intent of the Neutrality Act"
Senator Pepper, Democrat, Of
Louisiana, another supporter of the
Neutrality Law. said he did not thinl
the proposed transfer was in accorc
with the spirit of that law.
Il think it would be a shocking
subterfuge." Senator Pepper de.
clared.
Representative Coffee, Democrat
of Washington termed the proposed
transfer "the kind of slicker stuff
that makes it difficult for any New
Deal Congressman to defend thu
administration" He added that thu
contemplated move lis a fraud or
the American public"
In New York Joseph P. Ryan

shoremen's Association CA. F.. L.

fer, pointing put that 1t would en-.

Evolution of Rubber

Recent barter negotiations for
the exchange of American cotton
for British rubber emphasize the
indespensability Of both cOmmodi-
ties in the modern world. But
while cotton has been used for g.
900 years or more, the rubber in
dustry is of comparatively recent
development.
Early explorers found natives OF
Central and South America using
the substance now called rubber
in various crude ways, but little
attention was paid it. and it was
not until about 1870 that scientists
began trying to make practical use
Of the peculiar material.
In 1899 Charles Goodyear. ian
American inventor, discovered a
method of vulcanizing rubber and
which he later improved and pat
ented. Thus a new industry was
born. BY 1875 the world was US
ing ABOUT S.UUU IONS Oh Cruu0 run
Der annually.
The advent of the automobile
greatly increased the demand fo'
rubber, which by 1910 reached
about 10000 tons. In 1895 world
consumption of crude rubber to
tailed over a million tons, of which
the United States used more thar
all the other countries combined
Prior to 1900, wild rubber trees
mostly in Brazil, supplied all the
worlds crude rubber Now more
than SO per cent of all rubber is
produced on plantations, princi-
pallv in British possessions in the
Far East.

Fraudulent collection of unem-
rloyment benfits by persons while
really employed has become wide
90Tead, according to an official
news release by Judge John D.
Petree director of industrial rela-
tons in Alabama.
In recent months no less than
745 convictions for such frauds
wore obtained in a SINCE county.
and % additional cases are still
"onding. From this some idea may
p" gained concerning the wht le-
sole abuse of plOyment com
renS9tion throughout the South.
That these abuses are likeM
t. Increase may be surmised re-
cause of the very light fines i'm
r"sed UDon those convicted, and
the easy Jail sentences given those
unable to paw the fines or repay
the money fraudulently obtained
from the unemployment fund.
In the case of one N. T. Humph-
revs Of Huntsville. Ala, who plead
ed guilty to three different in
stances of defrauding the fund, a
fine of only $50 was imposed for
each Offense. Here is a man who
Systematically took money from a
fund intended for worthy unem-
nlCved persons. being let off with
almost nominal fines after his
third offense.
Such leniency in the South will
doubtless encourage many others
to take a chance on robbing the
unemployment fund through false
claims to benefits.
Comparatively few of these
cases have been uncovered in the
State of Maryland.

More II ORdcF Glass

Within a few weeks after the
announcement OF a new rubber
glass by the Franklin Institute,
the development of still another
amazing glass product is reported
from Corning, n. Y, where the
gr,at mirror for the 20O-inch Palo-
mar telescope was cast.
The newest marvel is a glass
which shrinks, and which can be
heated red-hot and Immediately
plunged into Ice water without
breaking. Those familiar with the
Possibilities of the new method of
manufacture say it will rank with
the most remarkable glass devel-
Opments in history.
While description of the pro-
cess would be rather teachnical
FIR the layman to understand. in
substance it represents a removal
OF part or the materials after
the glass plate or vessel has been
nodded in the usual manner. This
is accomplished by a series of
treatments which leave the glass
hOneycOmbed through the removal
Of about 80 per cent of it's original
mass. Placed in the oven again,
the glass shrinks to about IS per
cent Of its former volume
On completion of the final
treatment with heat, the glass is
practically SO per cent silica. 1t
NAV then be subjected to the most
extreme changes of heat and cold
without damage. The commercial
advantage of the new product is
that it is for all practical purposes
eou2l to fused quartz, yet can be
produced at a price within the
reach of the ordinary customer.

The employment Of ghost
writer's" by statesmen and others
to write speeches for them is a
very ancient custom, according to
Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, who
himself is one of the greatest of
contemporary orators.
He said it seemed we'll establish
ed that Nero, the Roman emperor,
delivered speeches written by his
prime minister, Seneca, and that
julius Caesar had a ghost writer
named Hirtius. Ashurst quoted
Senator Vandenburg as authority
for the statement that Alexander
Hamilton wrote all but four lines
of George Washington's famous
Farewell Address.
The ghost writer's have often
caused their clients much embar-
rassment by cribbing from the
writings of others. The most trag-
ic instance of the sort is told of
Sneaker John White of the TWEEN
ty-Fifth Congress, who employed a
writer to nrenare his farewell
speech to the House.
It seems Ashurst said. that the
writer copied extensively from the
farewell address of Vice-President
AARON Burr. delivered before the
Senate in 1905. When the source
Of the language used was discov-
orod White was $50 overcome
with modification and disgust
that he committed suicide"
Which is a warning that if a
1tatosman must have a ghost writ
ar he should be careful to select
one that won't let him down.

4 Pershing Bddge

An initial order for $4,000
badges for members of the Amer
lean Legion who will attend the
DIST annual convention in Chicago
next September has just been plac-
ed, to be followed by additional
orders as plans for the great event
are perfected.
The design of the new badge is
most attractive one, being a me-
dallion of military bronze, with a
bust portrait of General John j.
Pershing as it's most prominent
feature, and bearing the Legion
emblem in the lower center, &C
cOmpanied by oak and laurel
leaves. The top bar. from which
the medallion is suspended by a
ribbon, shows the Chicago skyline.
John Doctoroff, a widely-known
Chicago artist. designed the badge
after suggestions by a committee
of Chicago Legionnaires. The
badges will be made with a slot
in the top, so that they may be
worn as watch fobs if desired af-
ter the convention.
General Pershing is expected to
attend the national convention for
the first time in ten years, and
will be given a tremendous ova-
ton by what is expected to be the
