Bride, chairman of the meeting, had read the plan proposed by the civic tederations committee. George Hoo ver of Chevy Chase . declared that the committee governing the af- fairs of this special taxing area wounld not commit themselves to the plan as proposed. Promptly Mr. Bride in- formed Mr. Hoover though the resi. denta of all other communities would welcome the co-operation of Chevy Chase No. 2, there was no attempt to force unwanted protection upon this particular section, He informed Mr. Hoover that after the department was established, as it certainly would be, it would be very glad to lend every possible aid in preventing fire losser within the single ohjecting section of Chevy Chare. This was greeted with storms of applause.

Mr. Kuhn praised the action of Alta Vista as a fine example of proper civic spirit AMr. eivie 4nd at the same time cited its work as a challenge to the other contiguous communities to go forth and do like- wise, Walter S. RBogeley showed that ade- quate fire protection would save from /33 1-3 to 40 per cent on fire insurance premiums and therefore expenditure for a department was justified from an economic standpoint’ alone.

Answering Some Questions about LATEX— The New Word in Tire Building A—The cords are *“‘solutioned” in a bath tion—What is Latex? A—TLatex is the milky-white watery liquid that flows from the bark of a rubber tree when it is tapped. It is the source of all rubber. Q—Why then is “Latex’ a new word in tire building? A—Because i t was only when the United States Rubber Company began produc- ing Lalex-treated Web Cord that Latex - was used in tire building. Q—How is Latex used in building United States lires? A—Every cord in a tire must be impreg- nated with rubber before it is built into the structure. In United States Tires this is done by soaking the cords in Latex. By this method, the cords are impregnated with pure natural rubber, giving the cords exceptional flenbxhty and strength. Q—If only United States Tlres use Latex to impregnate the cords, how are other tires built? of dissolved Tubber; or they are “fric- tioned”’—rubbersqueezed into the cords by roller pressure. Q—Where does the Unlted States Rubber Company get its Latex? A—A large part of it comes from the rub- ber trees on its own plantations in Su- matra and Malaya; and the balance from neighboring plantations where the' United States Rubber Company Plan- tation Experts know the proper qual- ity can be secured. Q—Istherethenadifferencein Latex? A—Yes. " Just as there is a difference in maple sugar, apples, peaches or pears, or the product of any tree. Q—Why don’t other tire builders use Latex? A—The processes for using Latex were discovered, patented and are owned by the United States Rubber Company. United States @ Rubber Company HINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY.
