Baltimore Shake-up
Ordered 10 Improve
Sanitary Conditions
Civil Leader Warns
Trash Accumulated
May Bring Epidemic
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 2-William N.
D. Fischer had a tough job today
that of literally cleaning up the city
Mr.. Fischer was named by Mayor
Howard w. Jackson as temporary
head of the Bureau of Street Clean
ing and charged with the reorgan-
ization of the city's trash collection
and with the Cleaning up of the
city's trash piles.
Mr.. Fischer, acting highways en-
gineer, replaces Frank G.. Dotter-
WEIGH as bureau head. He has six
weeks to do the job.
The Mayor toured the city yester-
day and was shown piles of refuse
in various sections. There has been
a mounting tide of criticism of the
collection services.
Mayor jackson said he was con-
sidering hiring women or using city
jail prisoners to help get the trash
cleared away. A critical manpower
shortage has aggravated the collec-
ton problem, he said.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Marie Bauern-
schmidt, a civic leader, warned that
Baltimore faces immediate danger of
an epidemic and suggested asking
the Army to clean up the city.
DR.. Huntington Williams, city
health commissioner, refusing to af-
firm or deny the present danger of
epidemic, said:
THE only point I wish to stress
is that trash itself, if separated from
garbage, never caused disease any
where.
Garbage, on the other hand. II
uncollected or left to lie around
breeds rats, and rats can and do
carry disease.
I'VE never had a rat-borne epi-
demic in Baltimore, but just because
We never have doesn't mean that
we're always going to be that lucky ~

You don't kill the Cow" when you
milk her.
That's one reason why an exotic
vine with long name-cryptosteg
grandiflora-is being added to our
vocabulary as we develop new
sources of rubber
Cryptostegia is a source of latex-
that precious plant juice that solidi-
fies into rubber. All you do is to
cut off the tip of the vine, and the
latex ''bleeds" into bamboo trough.
AS far as we now know, cryptostegia
yields moderately but indefinitely.
It's rank growing tropical vine,
and its career is going to be mainly
in the Caribbean republic of Haiti,
where the government-in co-opera-
ton with our OWNS planting
100000 acres in cryptostegia with
the help of experts from the United
States.
Will Yield 10000 Tons.
Out of this area, equal to more
than twice the size of the District
of Columbia, the experts conserva-
lively estimate that in 1914 we'll be
getting 10000 tons of rubber.
Eventually, they think, the yield
will be much larger, but they're not
saying now because the project is
just getting started.
Ten thousand tons isn't much
rubber compared to our eventual
goal of about a million tons of
synthetic annually. but we need rub
ber fast, anywhere We can get it,
and no matter how much synthetic
rubber we have, we will still need
some natural latex to mix with
synthetic for certain purposes.
Just now cryptostegia is the hur-
ry-up aspect of our natural rubber
program. First, we're getting all
the rubber we can from wild hevea
trees-the traditional rubber" tree
throughout tropical America. We're
promoting hevea plantations, but
hevea seedlings require seven years
before they begin producing in
quantity And we're pushing quay
ule planting in our own Southwest
and in Mexico, but here again it'll
take two years to get guayule pro-
ducing in quantity (we're planning
