The New Source of Rubber "The expanding use of rubber following the discovery of treat ments of the raw material whiclh made it available for many useful purposes, threatened the supply of the available wild plants. "Cultivation in plantations then began in the far cast, Mexico and elsewhere, and the boom, following this, was accompanied by various .uilemirable financil developments with whi ch newspaper readers are familiar. Rubber, like other staples, now is known to be available in a va riety of climates and perhaps hun dreds of plant species. "One of these is the 1Mexican plant, guaydile (Latin Parthenium Argentatum) of the Chihuahua des ert, its habitat extending north in to the Pecos region of Texas. "This plant contains a caoutchouc which long has been marketed in limited quantities as taken from the. -Wild plant. "But there is no purely wild plant in the world producing any general article of commerce which, if left in its wild state, eventually will not be exhausted by the demands of trade. Use of wild plants means their extinction; continuett use tie cessities their cultivation. And the cultivation of guaule never was at tempted until recently. Hundreds of Varieties of the Wild Plant. "Dr. W. B. MacCullum, a scien tist widely known for his skill in manipulation with living plants selected an experimenlal location, comprising several hundred acres on the arid hills near the sea and Santiago, California. "The first important result was the defection of several hundred varieties of the wild plant. The selection for the best began, a task of magnituW2, for those varieties were as wide in their difference as are different varieties, for in stance, of apples, the differences pertaining not only to the exterior appearance of the plants, but to the quantity and quality of rubber yield. "The next step, with the methods of our ancestors, or their lack of methods, might have occupied a thousand years. Under expert mod ern scientific gui(lance and devo tion it has taken only a short time. "The selection of a small num ber of varieties promising by ren son, of the quantity and quality of their product from the many thou sands of plants grown from the wild seeds, was the first necessity. "The next was the development of methods of cultivation which would bring plans simultaneously to maturity, making the establish ment of a harvest period of possi bility. "The stage for this second act was set on a great ranching prop erty near Tuscon, Arizona, where the Desert Laboratory of the Car negie Institution is located. Here the field expert conducted his ex periments in collecting and ripen ing seeds, their germination and transplantation ;1ind eultivation in fields, all of which had to be work ed out through the expenditure of an enormous effort and much time. Details at this stage, were multi tudinous, and have been of such great interest that scientists from all parts of the world have come to study them. With myself these men have been deeply fascinated by this thrilling chapter of the do mestication of a wvild plant-a thing not .likely to b2 seen more than once in a 1lifetime. First Crop of the New [Rubber Ripe ''But now all has bxen accom p1lished and there are matutring in these fields growing rows of shrubs containing rubber which are even ly maturedl. It is now b. lieved thlat they are' ripe. ''The de terminat ion of t he exact darvest time has not been nale, but it is near at hand. It is safe to say that ain iamme ae m-h ieve oNent is ablout to be anniounicedt. "G;uayu ie irubber is not exactly like that known as 'Pa:ra.' It hans specialI useful ness in the matn fa ture of most rubber ariticles, in, eluding tires. This cultivation of guayub: will be of mighty mome(nt to the imdustry and will ten gra ly to extend the use of rubber.

THE BIRTH OF A NATION TO'BE SHOWN HERE DEC. 24 The next attraction at the Pastime Theatre will be D. W. Griffith's mighty spectacle "The Birth of a Nation." The engagement is December 24th and is for night and matinee. It is estimated that over twenty million people have seen the produc tion since it was originally brought out. Mr. Griflith wias eight months mak ing this wonderful story. He employ ed 18,000 people and 3,000 horses and the total cost of the work reached the figure of half a million dollars. The story is one of romance and ad venture linked to the most vital periods of American history. It re cords its facts with the rapidity of lightning and yet never departs from the fundamentals of true drama. Love and conflict are its basic theme but a myriad of details illumine the narra tive and lift it so far beyond anything our stage has ever known that the usual avenues of comparison do not offer a road to follow in this instance. Linked with the drama is an operatic score which carries recurrent themes with every vital scene and character in the epic. This wonderful score which is synchronized to the drama is in itself an incomparable work of art. That part of history dealing with the rise and fall of the slavery prob lem is the vital spark upon which Griffith has built his story. The con flicts which this question caused are reproduced in great battles and in all thrinning things which 'are a part of war. The cast is one of the greatest ever assembled. In the leading roles are such stars and screen favorites as: Henry B. Walthall, Mae Marsh, Lil lian Gish, Miriam Cooper, Mary Aid en, Josephine Crowell, Spotiswoode Aiken, Ralph Lewis, Joseph Hlena bery, Raoul Walsh, Donald Crisp, Howard Gaye, George Siegman, Walter Long and Elmer Clifton.
