The commission informed Mr. Gussner that the cost of such in-| Hlation would have to be borne by) the property benefited, and agreed to! give the matter consideration. i pt. E. G. Wanner, secretary of the, state board of administration, asked | the commission for a flat rate of 17! cents per 100 cubic feet for water { used at the capitol during the sum-/| mer months. He said that the board | wished to beautify the grounds @round the capitol as much as pos- sible and ;this would require ® great | deal of water, which at the present | rates weuld be too eostly. The com- mission did not favor making a spe- cial rate for the state but indicated | that if the board of administration, would -permit the removal of the “booster pump” which is now install- | ed at the capitol, it would be willing | é to give the capitol the benefit of the | reduction in cost. The city is now| forced to pay the electric company $3) Per month because of the installation this “booster pump,” even though the pump is never used, the commis- sion pointed out.

It has been estimated that Bur- bank’s 100,000 or mote experiments with plant life involved the planting. pollenation, observation and propagi . lon or destruction of a billion in- dividual vegetable growths. From this vast number, however, only 385 were selected and. recommended by him as of value to humanity. Some of these were under ‘his observation for 25 years before being given to the world. Several fine varieties of spineless blackberry, now grown around the world, were bred from a wild varicty that was considered useless in its native state. A certain variety of rhubarb, under /Burbank’s magic touch, increased its stalks, from the size of a lead pencil to that of a man’s wrist, and was made perpetual, ifistead of bearing for a few weeks only. inners appealed to him for a perfect pea, one which would mature Hl of its crop, retain uniformity of size and all ripen at the same time. After three years of work he met the demaad. Flowers, fruits, grains, grasses, ve- getables, even 01 id fotest trees were improved and given to the world in new usefulness through months and years of patient and fre- quently discouragine exneriments.

Here are the Answers to your Questions about Latex-ireated Web Cord Q—What is Latex-treated Web Cord? A—Web Cord is the special cord structure developed by this Company for Royal Cords and other United States Tires. Q—How does Latex-treated Web Cord differ from the cord structure used in other makes of tires? A—Fach individual cord from which Web Cord is made is latex-treated by immersing the cords in a latex bath. The cords are then laid side by side and when . the liquid dries they become webbed together by pure, natural rubber. Q—-Don’t other manufacturers treat their cords? A—Some do, but not in latex. Q—What is the object of treating cords with latex? A—All tire cords must be impregnated with rubber. Using latex impregnates the cords with rubber, without using chemicals, cs Q—Why don’t other manufac- turers use the Latex Process? A—The Latex Process was de- veloped, patented and is- owned by the United States Rubber Company. Q—What are the advantages of Latex-treated Web Cord? A—Greater flexibility, strength and longer life in cord fabric. The Latex Process surrounds and protecfs each cord with rubber and webs it to its neighboring cords with a flexible rubber coating. This does away with the necessity for cross tie-threads. United States is : ‘Trade Mark i UNITED STATES ROYAL CORD | BALLOON LOCKWOOD ACCESSORY CO, M. B. GILMAN CO. >
