There was a time when hevea trees
grew only in Brazil and other Latin
American countries, but seeds were
taken to Great Britain by an Eng

They were planted there and sew
eral thousand of the seedlings, 7"
or tiny trees, were taken to the
island of Ceylon in the year 1876.
Hevea trees grew well in Ceylon,
and later they were planted else
where in the Orient. Some were
grown in the Dutch East Indies,
which today produce far more rub
Der than all of South America and
Central America.
The Dutch East Indies give the
world more than one-third of its
rubber. Much of the raw rubber is
sent to the United States, where 1t
is made into automobile tires and
other products.

Any bridge detective will note
that there are eleven tricks IN top
cards, with a twelfth easily estab-
lished in spades-thirteen if the
spades are correctly guessed Ger
tainly such hand should be bid TO a
slam, so there's the crime right in
front of your eyes. But spotting the
criminal may give you a little
trouble. Decide for yourself before
reading on.
North was the criminal. It true
that South had the big" hand per
hapS a little too big for the opening
bid of two no-trumps). but most
slam contracts are reached by the
cooperation of the weaker hand. In
this case North was guilty of fla
grant failure TO cooperate.
The opening bid Of TWO no-trump
shows such great high-card strength
that game is warranted with very
little strength in partners hand. For
example, North would have been
obliged to get TO game with only
two of his four picture cards. Sure
" the other two picture cards were
enough excess value to give him
slam ambitions!
There was little point to North's
club response. for the hand was bal
snced and the club suit neither long
nor particularly strong. Instead,
North should have jumped TO four
no-trump. That contract would be
safe if South had a minimum OPEN
ing bid of two no-trump. And since
South actually had a maximum, he
would have accepted the invitation
by going on to six no-trump with
out delay.

Speedup in Delivery
Of Liberty Ships Sought

Delivery OF Liberty ships, ready
for ocean travel within four and
half months from the time the first
keel plate is laid on the ways, is the
goal the Maritime Commission ex-
poets TO reach soon, j. E. Schneider,
director of the construction division
Of the commission, said in an address
to the Washington Society of En-
gineers at a dinner meeting last
night In the Cosmos Club. The
present scheduled time for this type
Of emergency ship is seven months
from keel laying to delivery.
The problem Of obtaining such
production. he warned, rests with
the production engineer, who must
develop better. faster and simpler
methods. These engineers. he added
already are carrying a greater load
of responsibility than any other
group.
Discussing modern speed-up meth
DDS in shlpyards engaged in emer-
gency construction, Mr.. Schneider
said that present methods in all
yards. and particularly in the emer-
gencv yards, differ from those used
in the past. Fabricating shops have
been set up III assembly lines, so that
the raw material enters at one end
Of the shop and is delivered from
the other end completely fabricated
and preaSsembled. Operations have
been so sequenced, he said, that un-
trained workers. such as former
farm hands. could be trained quickly
to perform their tasks.

ark, Monday, Feb. 8. At 1880
that evening she spoke before a
group of leaders and others in
the Girl Scout organization, in
cluding leaders from GAINESVILLE,
Logan, and Mt. Vernon.
Before the 7:30 meeting, the
Leaders Executive Committee
feted Miss Gaudette at a dinner
in the Warden hotel.
Miss Gaudette brought to her
subject a wealth of background
and experience. The talk was
enlivened with amusing tales of
experiences in Girl Scout troop
and leaders groups in New York
city.
Urging leaders to start with
their own knowledge at the point
where the girls were at the time,
Miss Gaudette gave a number of
devises to be used to progress
along the nature trail.
Miss Gaudette is en- route to

of heavily travelled roads with
reflectorized paint.
The preparation is merely
white paint of the texture used
in normal highway center-lin-
ing, but into which tiny glass
beads have been poured. The
paint and the beads spread sim
ultaneously, and when the paint
"sets" the beads remain fixed,
reflecting automobile headlight
rays after dark, throwing off a
sheen which makes the center
line stand out boldly.
This type of glass-bead CEN
terlining has been put on U. S.
No. 40 south of Newark; State
Route 16 east of Newark and
State Route 79 southwest of
Newark. Other areas in the state
have also been treated.
