you can't plant yearly crops. The
successful corps are rubber
trees. oil bearing palm trees and
Brazil nut trees. Once trees are
removed from the land, the ire
mendous moisture no longer is
absorbed and the rich soil nu-
trients are carried way.
President Juscelino Kubitschek,
in a recent visit to the Amazon,
declared the government plans
to plant 20 million new rubber
trees. Apparently Brazil is at
tempting TO steer a path toward
a new rubber boom-similar to
the one in the first quarter OF
the century.

West Germans Protest
japan Tactics in Cotton

BONN. May 81 tNANA).-
West Germany has joined the
American South in a cry against
Japan dumping textiles on the
world market.
The German textile industry
has submitted evidence that
Japan is flooding Asia and Africa
with low-grade textiles disguised
as high-quality German and
British goods.
The Japanese blandly insist
they are doing nothing wrong.
They point out that their fabrics
say Made in Japan"
So they do, admit the Germans
but in letters so fine they are
hard to read. All the casual buyer
notes are the block letters with
the famous fabric name.

German economy. The textile
production index (l936 equals
1000 rose from las in 1858 to
1852 in 1855. During the same
period, the overall German pro-
duction index jumped from l57
to 210. Capital goods scared to
265.
In 1855, German textile sales
amounted to SO billion, a gain
Iof $25 million over 1854. But
statistics show that the German
consumers expenditure for tex
tiles, in relation to overall ex-
Ipenditures, is decreasing.
In 1850, the German con-
sumner spent 1853 per cent of his
Income for textiles, but in 1855,
only Is per cent. Per capita
German textiles consumption
has dropped to 80 Kilograms a
year. This compares with 9.8
Kilograms in Britain, 9.6 in
Switzerland, ia in Canada and
1919 per cent in the United
States.

DR.. Symons, at IS, Adds
New Career, Helps Aged

retired at the height of their
careers.
He asked DR.. Dorothy F.
Deach, head of physical educa-
ton for women at the univer-
sity, to look into the problem.
And the outcome is a conference
on aging that will be held at the
university June IL, Is and IA.
DR.. Symons will act as modera-I
tor for night session during the
conference. 1t will bring to-
gether the most eminent spe-
cialists on the problem of aging
in the United States.
II believe" DIR. Symons said.
that this country cannot afford
to lose the resources Of this in
creaSing number of men over 65."I
Il think" he added, that the
fixed age Of retirement is wrong
that a mans capabilities
should determine the age att
WHICH he reClreS.
Thinking always of his State
and how to publicize it, DR..
Symons recently came up with
the idea of lighting the main
highways leading over the noun
tains of Western Maryland.
This project. he said, would
attract people to the State, and
more important, would serve as
a safety factor.
Headed Extension Service
After graduating from the old
Maryland Agricultural College in
1902, DR.. Symons was appointed
the State entomologist. He be-
came head of the Extension
Service when the service was
established in 1914.
In 1887, he was made dean
OF agriculture while continuing
as Extension director. He has
been one Of the few in this
country to occupy both jobs.
Four years after his retire.
ment from the university, DR..
Symons was brought back as
acting president and served for
nine months.
Even now he has not COM
pletely severed his relations with
the university. He was appointed
by the Governor as a member of
the board of regents and of the
State Board of Agriculture.
In 1907 DR.. Symons married
Miss Susie LaRoche. They have
three daughters. all of whom are
married. DR.. and Mrs. Symons
continue to live in the College
Park home. just a few miles from
his office in the Takoma Park
Branch Of the Suburban Trust
Co.

which $50 million consisted Of
raw materials.
German exports of finished
textiles, however. amounted last
year to Just half of total textile
imports.
Germany still is exporting less
textile goods than did the pre-
war Reich. 1929 German exports
tat the peak Of the world tex
tile BOOM.
In 1929, textiles accounted for
II per cent of total German ex-
ports and 1863 per cent of total
German industrial production.
To-day, the corresponding figures
are rs and IL per cent.

West Germany is considering
ia request that Japan be excluded
from the General Agreement on
Trade and Tariffs. This would
be tantamount to excluding the
Japanese from the European
market.
The Bonn Government, under
pressure from the textile indus
try, has broken off negotiations
with Japan for a trade agree
lment.
What gals the Germans par

DR.. T. B. Symons, approaching
the age when most men think of
easy chairs and lounging slip
pers. is we'll launched on a new
career.
During his nearly rs years Che
will be 76 next September p, DR..
Symons has served the people of
Maryland, and especially the
University of Maryland, in many
fields. And now he is building a
new career in banking.
After his retirement six years
ago from the University of Mary
land, DR.. Symons began, as he
explained. looking for a new
Office"
He said he had been getting
up in the morning and leaving
home for his Office for so many
years, that it had become habit
not easily broken.
Gets Job at Bank
Fortunately, he didn't have
far to look. The Suburban Trust
Co.. in nearby Maryland had the
office, and invited DR.. Symons
to occupy it. He became the di-
rector of the banks advertising
and public relations. He had been
a member of the banks board of
directors for long time.
In his long career with the
university, DR.. SymonS practiced
the art of public relations. This
was easy for him because he likes
people.
A stranger who observed DR..
..Symons for the first time last
year at an agricultural meeting
in Western Maryland described
him as man who "vibrates with
vitality"
DR.. Symons. who has become
interested in the problems of the
older, retired people, has been
fortunate in loving his work.
Although he now is working
in a profession that is somewhat
strange to him, he has immersed
himself in banking with all of
the zest of an undergraduate al
his university.
An idea that occurred to DR.
'Symons during the nine months
in 1854 when he was asked by
the Maryland University Board
Of Regents to return from re-
tirement to head the university
as acting president. is now bear
ing fruit.
