Rubber Production Outlook

An encouraging picture of the American rubber
production setup given the assembled scientists
at the 1O4th annual meeting of the American Cheni
cal Society in Buffalo when War Production Boards
DR. Albert L. Elder told Of an anticipated output
toward the close of 1913 of nearly 100000 short
of butadiene and styrene rubber.
Since the figures for Neoprene and Thiokol and
butyl three other important synthetic rubber substi
tutes were not included the statement is even more
encouraging, as far as meeting the requirements of
our armed forces and those of Allies is concerned
Since retirement of automobiles from our streets
and highways is at the rate of 100000 cars a
month"; it is likely that than 100000 will be
running at the close of next year
These remaining cars, with the aid Of recaps and
tires plus conservation of the tires now in
use by stopping all unnecessary driving may begin to
get the benefit Of our synthetic rubber production
perhaps late in 1914 competent observers maintain
Of course, if the demands of war should rise far
above present epectatons-f Russia should lose her
rubber factories and if our factories would have to
supply the British, Chinese Australians and other
Allied nations with excessive rubber supplies to keep
them in the civilian needs might have to
be reduced to minimum until our productive capa-
city is steppedu to meet the terrific demands which
no at present can possible foresee. Under such
conditions only the most essential civilian needs
could be met

Nogales On Eve OF Great Prosperity

Nogales IS on the eve Of what undoubtedly viii
be the greatest period of prosperity experienced
by the border metropolis.
Washington on Wednesday approved vast en-
1argement program for the Nogales International
Airport and day later yesterday the depart
ment leased old Camp Little which was army post
for 20 years prior to 1882
Initial improvements at the airport call for an
expenditure of S650000 This will be spent, accord
ing to reports, for runways and lights.
If the same thing happens here that happened in
Douglas the $65000O will be just drop in the bucket
Douglas originally sought $5OO,0O0 project.
Now it has grown, to $14,OOO0OO Maybe the Nogales
project, too will into the millions. Let us all
hope so.
