Homer PilkintOn, Al, Gets His
Experimental Training AT
Heidelberg, Germany

Necessity is the mother of inven-
ton and, as there is a necessity for
rubber, the invention is forthcoming
According to the story a cook-stove,
chemicals and a common plant may
provide the answer to the rubber
shortage.
With chemistry courses at Heidel-
berg as his background, a kitchen as
his laboratory and a common Eastern
Shore plant as his material, a Wicom-
leo county farmer has produced some
thing that feels, looks, and acts like
rubber.
The inventor is Homer Pilkinton,
"A, native of Missouri and an East
ern Shore farmer since 1882.
Two crude samples of his product
have been sent to the National In
ventors' council in Washington to de-
termine the discovery's value in the
war effort.
The samples were crude, he ex-
planned, because of his makeshift
equipment. He said he used the com
mon plant as the base and easily OBJ
