U. s. RUBBER SUPPLIES

Should congress ever decide to in
vestigate the National Defense COM
mission it would unearth some ap-
palling delays in the securing of
the nations raw materials-par-
ticularly rubber.
Real fact Is that a fundamental
difference exists between the de-
tense commission and Jesse Jones
regarding future rubber supplies.
The commission believes that the
production of synthetic rubber
should begin Immediately, and
wants to give a subsidy Of $780,
100000 to American rubber COM
panies. The subsidy would be nee
essary to Offset the price of natural
rubber, which sells for 10 cents to
20 cents q pound, whereas synthetic
rubber would cost about Is cents.
Six Synthetic Rubbers.
To this end, the defense commits
sion has been negotiating with vari-
Gus rubber companies, and the fol-
lowing are ready to cooperate II a
subsidy is granted:
DUPONT, which produces Neo-
prene. This company Is by far the
most experienced in the field, and
its product has the highest produc-
ton.
Standard Oil, which produces
Butyl and has the license for u. S.
production of the famous German
synthetic rubber, Buna.
Goodyear, which produces Chem
igum.
Goodrich, which produces Ameri-
pol.
United States Rubber, which is
working on a product, so far un-
christened.
However, Jesse Jones doesn't be-
Eeve that synthetic rubber needs to
be produced on a large scale. He
favors small subsidy to one COM
pany as an experiment.
The defense commission counters
with a forecast of what might hap
pen should all our rubber be cut off
in the Dutch East Indies. It en-
phasizes that machinery cannot be
set up overnight to produce emer-
gency rubber. Stettinius is really
aroused, may appeal to the White
House If he doesn't soon move Jesse.

ICECHOKED rivers in the north, ! ern United States again bring the menace of floods to many com. munities. Thaws may start ice moving out of creeks into the rivers, piling up as 1t goes to make a wall of ice many feet in height.
 Water backed up behind ice often sweeps down with a rush, flooding property while the ice wrecas bridges, dams and river dwellings.
 Blasting ice jams will frequently break up the ice and release the water before the flood stage is cached. Larger quantities of dyna- mite are required for this job than most people imagine. One reason for this is that air pockets in the jam allow much of the force to Ascape into the open air.
 Instead of three or four sticks, which usually produce nothing but little cracked ice, bundles of dyna- mite are needed. Gorges running up to % feet or more in thickness may require from 1000 to 1,500 pounds.
 10 blast . heavy jam, dynamite should be placed at strategic points in oF under the jam. If the ice is three to four feet thick. each charge should be not less than 90 sticks

Effective Vaccines
 Held In Readiness
Prevention Against Communicable Diseases Urged By State Health Authorities -mmunizatOn Emphasized

Calling in epidemiologists, doctors, nurses, and sanitary engineers after trouble has started is not the most effective method tocontrol epidemics of certain communicable diseases, declared Alfred L.. Burgdorf, M. D., epidemiologist, in the weekly broad cast of the state department of health who pointed out that people who take advantage of available im- munization measures to prevent these diseases are really the con- trolling agents.
 Science Provides Weapons
 Science has placed in the hands of physicians effective vaccines which will prevent diphtheria, smallpox, typhoid fever, whooping cough and a few other communicable diseases, Doctor Burgdorf said. The best con- trol of any epidemic is its prevention. He recommended that all children in the first year of life be vaccinated against smallpox, immunized against diphtheria and inoculated against whooping cough.
 To be certain that immunity is maintained, as children grow older they should be vaccinated at fre- quent intervals. Doctor Burgdorf pointed out that if the pre- vious vac- cination is still giving protection no scab will appear; idf further protec- tion is needed this will have been Drnvided. When ready tn enter school children should be skin tested to determine whether additional im- munization against diphtheria is re- quired.
 The general improvement in hous- ing, sanitation, nutrition and habits have also helped to control epidemic disease, Doctor Burgdorf declared. Constant supervision of water sup plies and sewage disposal by sanitary engineers has controlled the very ex- tensive epidemics of gastro- intestinal
