INGREDIENTS — Here
The new “Liberty Rubberi’ is
made of materials of which there is
an inexhaustible supply ready at
hand. Dr. Waldo L. Semon explain
ed. Dr Semon is the director of the
Goodrich laboratories and with hiS
assistants discovered the process of
making “Ameripol.” The basic raw
material is ordinary petroleum, he
said. By a “cracking” process this
is broken down to a mixture of mole
cules, from which a gas is extracted.
Putting the gas vmder pressure gives
a substance known as “butadiene.”
Anyone can do it. After you’ve
got your butadiene you mix it with
Ingredients obtained from natural
gas and air, add soap and you have
a milky emulsion. Heat teat and
ahake ~it well end the result fe some
thing teat looks like tee latex, or
liquid rubber, obtained from rubber
trees. It acts like it, too. In fact,
for all practical purposes, it is real
rubber, readily changed into sheet
rubber for converting into tires.
It sounds simple, as all new things
do after they’ve once been produced.
But tee toil and skill and scientific
knowledge/and money that it took to
make this new discovery and prove
its worth are just another example
of tee difficulties pioneers face.

DEFENSE — Supplies
The toughest problem confronting
America in case of a general war,
such SB is now in progress, is how to
maintain a supp^ of rubber. In
peace times we use nearly 600 thous
and tons of rubber, 70 percent for
tires. Modem motorized military
equipment, such as we are preparing
to (MToduce, will call for a great deal
more. The only sources from which
rubbqr can be got are spots which
could easily be blocked.
