Contrary to general belief, the
hold-over effects of brief rains do
not. lastlong, especially if fol-
lowed by an hour or two of low
humidity. The other element con-
sidered in relation to weatherand
forest fires is wind. The rate of
spread of fire varies roughly with
the square of wind velocity. That’
is, a moderate spread with a five-
miIe wind will be four times as
great with a ten-mile wind.
When all is said and done, how-
ever, relative humidity remains
the big factor in the start and
spread of forest fires. So, if the

from the way they held their
heads high. Each carried a
suitcase with ' his name chplked
on it, and a' cardboard box in
which each had his rst Army

THUS did they march of! to

Rubber Industry
Plays Important
Role In Defense‘
Scientists in the rubber industry
are playing an important role in
national defense plans by speed-
ing researches that already have
quadrupled the service life of
tires, according to Manley Fox,
Budget Manager of A1 Huerby
Motors.
“The, history of the industry‘l
during the years since the B. E}
Goodrich Company established the
industry’s first research Labora-
tory in 1895, has been one of con—i
tinuing improvement in!the qual-
ity of rubber products and thel
trend is now being accelerated,”
Improvement in the quality of
tires, increasing their life andi
mileage per pound of rubber, is
as truly conservation of our sup-l
plies, Mr. Fox pointed out, as the;
amassing of rubber stockpiles or
the creation of synthetic rubber,
for manufacture in the United
States. I
Enumerating the discovery of.l
organic accelerators, the evolu—
tion of the cord tire and the tough
carbon black tread, Mr. Fox re-
viewed developments during two
decades of experience in the usel
of age resisters for rubber, first’
discovered in the B. F. Goodrich
laboratories, which culminated in
“Duramin.”
“Duramin,” he explained, “is al
combination of chemicals which
impart to rubber, as vitamins do
and vitality. By carefully sel-I
ecting and blending the most ef-
fective of these age resistors the‘
company‘s scientists evolved Dur-
amin which imparts .to rubber, re-
sistance to aging and deteriora-
tion far superior to that obtained
with the use of any, one age re-
sister.” v
Because Duramin counteracts
the effect of oxidation on rubber
it prolongs tire life and results
in long mileage, Mr. Fox said. In
terms of national defense the
result is to make rubber last
longer thus conserving America’s
supply of this vital material.

From importer to $20,000,000
exporter in 20 years is the plot
of Washington State's thriving
[ poultry industry.
In 1917 it wasrnecessary to
import 160 car-lots of eggs to
meet the state’s demand. In 1938,
besides supplying the needs of
local consumption, 1,085 car—lots,
or 19,530,000 dozen eggs were
shipped to markets of other states.
Poultry raising is carried on
profitably in practically every
pounty of the state and is es-
pecially important in Whatcom,
Skagit, Snohomish, King, Pierce,
Lewis and Yakima counties. The
Yakima valley alone produced
nearly 100,000 turkeys in 1939.
