WASHINGTON. July 20 The

nounced that its research labora-
tory in Peoria. Ill. has developed
a short. economical process for
making butylene glycol. an imPor-
tant factor in the production OF
synthetic rubber from farm prod

Chemists at the laboratory have
succeeded in producing excellent
yields of pure butadiene-from
which synthetic rubber is made
from corn-made butylcne glycol,
the department said Until the
process is developed to a pilot
plant" or Semi-commercial scale,
the chemists are making no pre-
dictionS.
Butylene glycol itself Is rela-
lively rare chemical with several
important war uses II also is used
in the manufacture of anti-freeze
and commercial solvents.

Collecting relics Of early American
Indians Is a fascinating pursuit
followed by many people, particu-
larly those liking outdoor activities.
One Of these collectors Is Mai.
John w. Wester, a Reserve officer
now on active duty here. He was
for is years resident of Perry
Point, in Cecil County, Md, where
he and Mrs. Wester started their
collection. This area was occupied
by the Susquehannock Indians, a
fierce tribe which made its living
partly by preying on its peaceful
neighbors.
In addition to making their fine
collection Of stone implements (in-
cidentally, they found the entire
collection themselves and purchased
nothing) they also investigated the
history of the tribe to provide a
background for the collection.
The Susquehannocks were inhab-
iting that region when 1t was first
visited by Capt. John Smith. The
early settlers made friends with
peaceful tribes in the vicinity and
probably aided them against the
Susquehannocks. Open war f1ared
from time to time, and these In
dians rate some historical signifl-
canoe as having been the cause of
the first union Of white men in
the New World, when the Gov
ernors Of Maryland and Virginia
organized joint expedition against
them.
Years Of sporadic warfare so deci-
mated the Susquehannocks that
they were willing to give up their
original territory and move to the
north bank of the Potomac, on land
abandoned by the Piscataways.
Further fighting with the Senecas,
with white men occasionally in
volved, reduced them to the point
where they ceased to be Of i'm
portance, and they lived in OBJ
scurity until 1853, when the last
of them were slain "by a mob of
frontiersmen."
This brief historical outline may
show the added interest given a
hobby when all phases Of the sub
ject are investigated by the hobby
ist.
After leaving Perry Point, Maj.
and Mrs. Wester resided for a short
time at Augusta, Ga. where they
started a collection Of relics of the
Cherokee Indians from along the
Tennessee and Savannah Rivers. AL
though only there about two years,
they have a fairly representative
collection of the Cherokee imple-
ments.
Maj. Wester has done some stamp
collecting and has about 1900
stamps in a general collection. Mrs.
Wester's other interests include
flowers and excellent decorative
needlework.

NEWS FROM DOGDOM
Notes on Variety of Subjects of Interest in
Washington and Vicinity
By r. r. Taynfon.

Somewhere in Washington there
Is q springer spaniel that made the
perilous trip from Hawaii in the first
contingent Of dog evacuees from
that country since the firing on
Pearl Harbor. A group OF 80 dogs
and cats were consigned to this
country in the care Of the San FrSn-
cisco Society for Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals. From San
Francisco they were routed to
friends and relatives of their owners
who promised to undertake their
care for the duration. Their des-
tinations in this country included
such widely separated points as
Seattle and Atlanta, Hollywood and
Georgia. AL have now been settled
in their new homes.
One Of the strange outcomes of
this war is likely to be that dogs will
be better fed than ever. There Is
no shortage Of dog food. There is
q shortage of tin cans for dog food,
and in a very short time there will
probably be little or no canned dog
food. This is too bad as far as the
better grades of canned food are
concerned. They made fine emer-
gency rations, and they were Ger
tainly convenient and economical.
But many of the canned foods on
the market were worse than no good,
because they made the pet owner
think he was feeding his dog when
he was only filling its stomach.
When these inferior foods disap-
pear, he is going to be forced into
the old fashioned way Of feeding
his dog. Maybe the old fashioned
way is going to consist of feeding
the family pet merely table scraps
but when table scraps form the
main basis of the meal, Fido is
going to be allowed for in the
family cooking pot. Maybe reli-
ance is going to be placed again on
getting into the good graces OF
the local butcher, and Ffdo Is going
to be the recipient Of many a bone
or UIuIlIIllllk tlldt INV 6OSo t1AeO S~A~
bone mans collection. Maybe F1do's
owner is going to do as most COM
mercial breeders do, and rely on dry,
commercial dog foods supplemented
with meat, eggs and milk. What
ever method is finally adopted, Fido
is bound to benefit by change from
the too frequent use OF the can
opener.
Afghan hounds are beginning to
make their presence felt In this
vicinity. Edith Groves pioneered
in this breed hereabouts, as she die
in many others. William McIllwaine
next took a flyer in these exotic
hounds and has been doing very
nicely with them at the nearby
shows. Now Leo Murphy is for
saking his first love, the white
collie, for these foreign fascinators.
He recently bought 7-month-old
bitch, Blakeen Lalla Rookh, from
Mrs. Sherman Hoyt. And it is said
