Little Rock, Ark., June 30,- Look at an automobile and know its owners.
THE STORY OF RUBBER.
From the time that Christopher Columbus on one of his early voy. aken to Amorica found the natives playing a crude sort of basebal with a substanco having a peculiar This new method of character and surprising elasticity, up to the analysis is the discovery of Pro- rear 1839 rubber was an enigma fessor Oscar Cornelius, teacher of of the laboratory, a fascinating automobile mechanics at the Little challenge to the ingenuity and genius of chemists and inventors, Rock Senior High School, student' Obviously the material had many and observer of automotive de- advantages. It was highly reail tails. Ninety out of a hundred ent. Spread on cloth or impregn- times Cornelius has succeeded in ated into cloth it made the fabric hitting the nail on the hoad when waterproof. In a day before the advent of high precision machine tools it could effect a union between metal and metal so perfect as lo prevent losses of water, of steam pressure, or of efficiency.
But this rubber spread on a rain- cout, for example, would melt and cun when the weather grew too hot, wold grow brittle and crack when the weather grew cold.
Charles Goodyear spent years In unremitting toll, hardship and poverty, and several times suffered Imprisonment for debt, in his ca deavour to find a way of making rubber constant in all temperatures so that its strange qualities cond be put to use of mankind.
During this time he worked many tons of rubber with his hands, mix- ing it with various substances, at the same time continuing his In- ventions as a means of support. He met with some slight success by boiling the rubber with lime and in 1836 was awarded medals at the Mechanics Fair.
One day in 1839 while talking and demonstrating to aame friends in the kitchen, a plece of rubber mix- fed with sulphur accidentally fell on the steve It charred like lenther. Goodyear had discover. ed vulcanization.
He followed up the discovery, stal experimenting, and in 1851 went to Europe exhibiting specimens in the Great International Exhibition. He lived in England until May, 1858, when he sailed for the United States where he died July 1st, 1880. Goodyear's providential x][g tovary that the addition of sulphur and heal would malte rubber constant all temperatures makes him not merely the father of the rubber industry but stamps him as one the great benefactors of, mankind.

It's not so easy as you might be- lieve, however. Only a practiced mechanic can diagnose the entire case of an auto owner, anys this professor. For it's the mechanic who is in a position to observe all the details that the unheeding owner leaves behind him..
Cornellus explains his system:

"Then there is the matter of posture when driving. Some dri- vers slump behind the steering wheel or sit at an angle-the don't care attitude.
The methodical person of fixed habits and of a good character sits behind the steering wheel erect but in a comfortable posi- tion. Whenever a new squeak appears, it is promptly attended to. Side curtains are fastened securely. The exterior and in- terior of the automobile are free from dust. The finish is spotless although it may be dull because of long use. The top and the floor are kept clean.
'Don't Get Excited!
"As a rule, this type of motor-. ist never allows his car to stand in the rain when a garage is avail- able.
"The observing mechanic can in- stantly deto: the motorist of even temper. The driver who is ex- eitable, which is just another way of saying that he is nervous, con- tinually applies his Brakes. Ile slams them on, as the expression is, instead of applying them gently and firmly. He does not give an even feed to the carburetor.
"Temper causes more damage to the automobile than the usual wear and tear. I have seen grown, rational men become angry and strike or kick the crank as if it were a human being.
Keep Temper at Home!
"I have seen men attempting to change tyres and when they didn't progress as quickly as they be Heved they should, they slashed out at the offending wheel with their foot.
"If a man or woman allows a baulky automobile to cause a dis- play of temper, isn't it reasonable to assume their dispositions at home are none too sweet?
"The person of even tempora- ment does not spend nearly so much in repair bills as the person with an uncontrollable temper, or
a nervous driver.
"Driving courtesy ia another. tell-tale clue of the disposition of motorists but then that is known to everyone."
