NEW METHODS
INCREASE BUTYL
RUBBER OUTPUT

The War Production Board has ap-
proved an increase in its synthetic
rubber program from 100000 tons 10
$4,000 tons.
The increase will be obtained with
no expenditure Of critical materials for
construction purposes. and Is due to
advanced engineering in the produce
ton OF butyl rubber The new tech
niques permit an increase Of 10000
tons in the formerly planned 60.0O0-
ton capacity Of plants already under
construction.
The expanded program IS not ex-
pected to alter the projected figure Of
800 tons Of butyl rubber to be pro-
duced in 1912
Butyl rubber has been found to be
extremely useful in the manufacture
OF gas masks. anti-gas clothing. rain
coats. rubber boats. life preservers,
barrage balloons. wire insulation, and
miscellaneous moulded goods. It Is also
being experimental with for use In
tires, although indications are it Is
not equal to Buna S synthetic rubber
for tire purposes.

or representing plants.
Applications for exceptions In other

win continue to be forwarded 70 the
Director of Production. Office Of Pc

In all cases. three copies OF the APP
plications should be sent directly TO

Gated. In the Rocky mountain region
the fourth copy goes TO 800 First Ma
tional Bank building, Denver, Colo.
The procedure applies to all three
application forms for exceptions under
M-68; form 214-a is used by operators

The revenue bin as presented by the
ways and means committee passed the
house in substantially the same form
that it was reported out Of the ways
and means committee, with only one
amendment going to the substance OF
the bill. That was an amendment pro-
posed by the committee which raised
the corporate excess profits tax from
87A percent to 80 percent. In this
measure the house made no provision
for changing the present base Of per-
centage depletion for petroleum and
other minerals.

Tribute also was paid to "the

Shortly after the program began an

Nature last night conspired, too,
to heighten the effect Of the pag-

A few came by water despite the
stiff breeze which made the Poto-
mac choppy, canoes and small boats
huddling under the lee of the Or
chestra's barge. The wartime ban
on small watercraft in the area has
been relaxed by the captain of the
port, permitting listeners to paddle
to the barge during the period from
two hours before to two hours after
the concert.
-Four of these received a ducking
when their boat upset near the
barge just before the concert, but
none was reported seriously hurt.
Two more were tipped from a
canoe into the chill waters an hour
later.
