ber, established plantations in that
area. Now President Roosevelt has
asked Congress for an appropriation
of S1,000,000 for further investiga-
ton and the establishment of more
experimental nurseries.
Large quantities of rubber un-
doubtedly can be grown in this area,
the main obstacle from a COM
mercial consideration being that it
is more expensive than the Far
Eastern product. From a national
defense standpoint, however, cost is
not the controlling factor and Uncle
Sam is now ready to go ahead with
emergency speed in development Of
natural rubber sources.
The hevea tree, from which most
of the plantation rubber is obtained,
is native of South America and
was transplanted to the East Indies
at the time systematic cultivation
there was begun. Rubber experts Of
the Federal Bureau of Plant Indus
try say that as regards soil and
climate, conditions in the tropical
parts of the New World are as good
for rubber-growing as those in the
Far East.
However, if the time is to come
when the United States must grow
its own rubber, the scientists be-
lieve that the answer is to be found
not in the hevea tree but rather in
the guayule bush, shrub found in
the southwestern part of this coun-
try. Its sap provides a rubber-liks
substance which is an effective sub.
stitute for true rubber.
In this connection, the experts
point out that guayule was grown
successfully over a wide area in Cali
fornia and the Southwest, and on a
strictly practical, commercial basis,
during and after the first World
War, when supplies from the Far
East were both limited and ex-
tremely costly. Had that situation
prevailed for longer period, it is
the considered opinion of Federal
experts that guayule now would be
supplying a very large amount of
the rubber used in this country. But
with the removal Of the war and
postwar restrictions (actual and
then artif1ciaD and the consequent
collapse of prices, guayule produe-
ton was curtailed and finally aban-
doned.
1t is noteworthy that this aban-
donment was due solely to cost con-
siderations.

tending which of the two should
have it (the site of the city,, they
had better make common
cause of it and thereby secure it to

This had its effect. To the minds
of the Georgetown landowners came
thoughts of LEnfant surveying near
Eastern Branch, while the other
grour could see him at work in the
area nearer Georgetown AS a eau
ton to each was the reminder that
the site could be placed elsewhere,
possibly in Virginia.
On March 80 they came to terms
which were particularly pleasing tc
the President. They had ceded be-
tween 5000 and 5000 acres to the
public on condition that. when il
had been surveyed and laid of as a
city, they should retain every other
lot and should be paid 25 pounds
per acre for the area taken for pub
lie use. They also had agreed to
give the acreage needed for streets
and alleys and had given the Fed
eral Government the right to re-
serve the wood on the land consid-
cred necessary for ornament.
That was the concluding chapter
of Washington's clever ruse to force
property owners, by the use of a
French engineer as a pawn, to keep
their prices within the financial
range of the infant Federal Govern
ment. 1t had been a successful
move and the contest had ended
wholly in favor of the administra-
ton.
But now came the time when the
pawn must proceed on his own, not
to fool tight -fisted landhohers, but
to lay out master city, model fol

completed the first draft. In two
more months he had revised it. And

Winter Sports Provided
For All Parts of Country

and has increasingly provided facili-
ties in its parks where natural con-
ditions favor such recreation. The
same is true of the United States
Forest Service, while numerous
State parks and municipal and pri-
vate play areas likewise contribute
the facilities needed by an outdoor
conscious people. Railroads and bus
lines more and more provide special
seasonal service to winter sports
areas.
More than 1,250,000 sports en-
thuSiaSts visited winter sports areas
in the national forests last year
With winter-use facilities constantly
beng extended, the Forest Service
expects that skiing, tobogganing
winter mountaineering and motor
ing, skating and such cold-weather
sports will attract more vacationists
than ever this year.
Offering the widest selection of
public winter sports areas in the
| country, the national forests are in
higher attitudes where the cold sea-
sons are longest, snow crops are
good and treeless high ridges, semi
open slopes and comparative isola-
ton are ideally suited to recreation.
Nearly 100 winter sports areas
have been specially developed by the
Forest Service. Development in

tice slopes, building parking areas,

Although Shenandoah National
