PARA. HOME OF RUBBER
Will Boon lie Hiding on IU Own j
Tube* and Tire*.
Ill * I
Homemade tire* and tubea will aoon
be available to automobile owner* of
Para, Brazil, for the first time, although
this port ha* been exporting
crude nttalfer for a century. JnoNW*
ing number of cars on the streets of
Para and near-by towns have created
the demand for the local factory.
Heretofore the motorists saw thousands
of tons of crude rubber lesve the
city docks, returning later as tires,
tubes and other rubber manufactures.
"Para is reully the old'home town
of most of 'the rubber produced in the j
world," says a bulletin from the
Washington, I). C., headquarters pf |
the National Geographic Society.
Today most of the world's fubber
supply comes from Ceylon and the
Malay peninsular. . Singapore has
taken Para's place as the world's
greatest rubber port, but1 Para can
point with pride to the fact that Para
rubber bears its name and that the
trees of the Bast are descendants of
original Para trees that were taken
from the Amazon jungles and transplanted
on the other side of the world
by an Englishman.
A traveler familiar with the odor of
smoked rubber knows when he is
nearing the docks of Para. But, perhaps,
the average traveler would not
recognize the huge ham - shaped
chunks of potential tires, garden hose
and water bottles which half-naked,!
perspiring negro and Portuguese laborers
are passing from warehouses
to cargo boats.
A portion of the river front is lined
with fishing boats. There are also
boats which bring to the docks cargoes
of Brazil nuts, and cocoa, while
small native craft drift in with such
urticles as jaguar hides, snake skins,
home-made pipes and baskets, and
alligators' teeth.- Most of these articles
can be found in the market place I
near the river, but here the visitor is j
impressed with the great variety of !
colorful tropical fruits. Huge piles of .
bananas indicate that the famous bar !
nana song does not apply in Para. j
All para is busy but twice a day? !
In the morning the workers toil while '
the sun is low, seek cover during the |
heat of midday, and then return to j
their labors in late afternoon. Para '
is but 100 miles south of the equator.
At dusk most of the city's 230,000
inhabitants seem to emerge fWfit
their sun shades. Then the promenades,
palm-lined and bordered by wide
flower spotted lawns are filled and
the boulevard traffic problem begins.
Portuguese is the language of the
natives in Para, but in a city block
one meets Frenchmen, Germans, Americans,
Syrians, Dutchmen, and men
and women of many other nationalities.
The women, dressed in rainbow,
colored garments, present a gay aspect
against the natural tropical coloring
of Para as a background. The
men don linen and white duck.
Most of Para is modern, but now
and then a curious traveler finds him-?
self in a narrow, cobbled street. Even
on the beautiful avenues, however, the
traveler is taken back a few decades
at least, when he frequently observes
two-wheeled, ox-drawn carts with
black drivers who can trace their an-_
cestry back, to the days when Brazil
coast towns were popular slave markets.
The fund for the family of the
murdered police chief of Gastonia, O.
F. Aderholt, is now over $2,260 about
half the objective set by the Gastonia
Gazette, the sponsor of the fund,
which is what the state compensation
law would have given his family had
he lived until July 1. ?

Georgia Educator Is
Found Murdered
4m? "
Atlanta, June 30.?Professor Alexander
Hamilton Johnson of Hertwell,
Ga., widely known Georgia educator
and a delegate to the convention of
the National Education Association,
was found dead in hia automobile today,
his head and lace bettered and
bruised. Police said he apparently
had been beaten to death.
The office of ' tho Fulton coiinty
solicitor said no trace of his assailants
had been found.
The educator, whq was 41 years of
age, was principal of two schools at
Hartwell and served as a federal vocational
director for the Hartweli
area. He was married and w*is the
father of two small children.
Police learned that Dr. Johnson last
night telephoned his sister, Mrs. J. R.
Wakefield, announcing his arrival in
Atlanta. He planned to spend the
night at the Wakefield home, telling
his sister he would arrive soon after
several business conferences.
Nothing further was heard of the
educator until this morning when he
was found slumped over the wheel of
his car, which had been parked at a
curb on an outlying residential street.
His- head had been badly beaten,
his chin was crushed and his right ear
mangled. Police said his pockets had
been turned inside out and on the
floor of his automobile were found
two bill folds. Police were unable
to learn the amount of money he had
when he came to Atlanta.
The Greenville council is starting
a bond issue of $300,000 to pay the
cost of the dam washed out last year,
the remainder of the expense to be
provided from funds to be in the
treasury.

W. C. Taylor, superintendent of
schools at GafTney, lost his suit case
while driving to Columbia, while in
the capital he was robbed of $23, and
then his daughter lost a diamond
ring from her finger while swimming
in a pool near Columbia.
