Mr F. D. Ascoli, British President of the conference, sald today that synthetic. rubber offered "challenge" to the natural rubber Industry, adding that the demand for rubber at present could not bo met by supplies of natural rubber alone.

1947 production and consumption, he said the world was using 230.000-tons of natural rubber and 400,000 tons. of the synthetic product annually.

The challenge of-synthetle rubber depended on improvements made in its. production and usage, he said.

Expensive Kittens

London, June 22-A cat that had five kittens has cost the Honourable Mrs Alice McLaren Morrison, daughter of a baron, a fine of £10.

Mrs Morrison was first summoned In May for keeping 25 birds, 16 cats, eight dogs and 13 guinea pigs in her 20-roomed London house "in such a state as to cause a scrious infestation of mice and nuisanco from files".

The house was described in court as "a menagerie”. Mice ran freely among the cats and fed in the birds' cages.

She was ordered to remove the causes of the com. plaint within 14 days. A sanitary inspector told the court that there were now five more animals than when he first visited the house-all kittens.

There had been some deaths among the birds, but they had been replaced since,

Counsel for Mrs Morrison said she had made ceaseless efforts to find a home for her animals and birds-Reuter.
