More About Rubber

Well have enough crude rub
Der dur ng 1912 to meet all mil
itary and vital civilian needs,
with a small carry-over at the
end of the year - but then'S
when the pinch may begin. The
fact that we must take into con-
Sideration the needs of our al
lies as we'll as our own is now
cited as pointing to an even
stricter conservation program
than now prevails. Emphasizing
this point, J. j. Newman. vice
president of the B. F. Goodrich
company, last week told bust
ness and industrial leaders in
the Los Angeles area that I'VE
must realize that we will go in
to 1943 with a carry-over ton
mage which cannot be made
public but which I can say def
initely will not be large enough
by itself. to permit continuance
of our operations on even the
present restricted basis" Best
sources of information, Newman
said, indicated that other coun-
tries in the United Nations pact
are not so well prepared as we
are in the matter of rubber.
Well have to be "miserly, in
deed" in our use of rubber now
in service, or face a very real
deficit in 1913.

/. A man is on trial for lar
ceny - do you know why the
jury knew he was lying when he
said he found the money in an
ordinary library book between
pags 81 and 88?
2. Why is it, when you're look
ing for something you have lost,
you always find it in the last
place you look?
3. The mortar used in laying
bricks does two things to the
bricks. Do you know what those
, two things are?
4. The hide of a COW is COM
monty recognized as the basic
source of leather for shoes and
other purposes, but there is ev-
en- a more common use for cow

5. Many people keep diaries
even the men at sea. Even the
ship itself has a diary. What
is the official name of the day
by day diary or record that is
made of a ships movements at
sea?
Answers
l. He couldn't have found the
money between those pages be-
cause odd and even pages are
back to back in most books, not
separate pages, therefore it
would be impossible to conceal
money between them. Page l of
most books is a right hand page
and Page 2 is the reverse side
