public-spirited business men sub-cribed
the amount necessary to v;y th?

Lives After Plunge
Into Boiling Water
George Livingood, a young white
man employed at the Pomona mills
here, fell in a vat of boiling water in
the miii today and when he w as fished
out large quantities of skin slipped
off his back and arms and is expected
to recover.
His life was saved almost by a miracle.
A strip of cloth was being run
through the vat on rollers and it was
to adjust the strip of web that he
went over the liot pool. He lost his
balance but had presence of mind to
cling to the cloth instead of going
under the surface of the pool?

World ia Faced by
Rubber Shortage
A rubber shortage is inevitable
within from three to live years if the
present rate cf increase in demand
continues, according to Harvey S.
nr,4fid5!?t cf the Fircut'jnc
Tire and Rubber company.
Even were the British restrictions
to be removed at once, there now is
not enough rubber plantation acre
age nor are there enough rubber pro-|
ducing facilities to be able to increase,
production so as to supply the esti-j
mated demand five years hence. In J
fact, we have waited to long now?j
America cannot start plantations andj
he producing rubber in surtieientj
quantities in time to avert a rubber
Shortage by 1929.
Official statistics and chart- show!
that in 192i>, at the present rate ol |
increase in consumption, the world's!
rubber demands will approximate j
575,000 tons, while the productivity'
of present rubber producing acreages;
can not be increased to more than
500,000 tons by that time.
America's activity so far alon;
the line of planting to make rub-j
ber surveys already has had marked 1
effect, particularly upon the British
planters, in holding down the price of
rubber. The results have so far accrued
from America's plan to grow j
her own mbber, have more than re-;
paid us several times over the money
so far spent in further rubber research
work. ,

and other large rubber companies

This move, according to Harvey
S. Firestone, is the result of the older
rubber association's (the failure to
sope with the majpr rubber problems
of the times and particular with its
lack of action in connection with the
British legislation which penalizes the

price of crude rubber, in this way advancing

work began, under the ministry
of Rev. J. H. Walker. The church is
of a design which meets every requirement
and is in the finest taste,
it represents an outlay of $40,000.
and so great has been the. church
spirit and the public spirit also that
the debt is but a trifle.
The opening services Sunday
morning were marked by splendid
weather, a congregation which embraced
> c present atives from three
quarters ?>f the state, with some frozu
other states, ami the program, admirably
arranged, was carried oat in
;i most spirited way.
After a prelude on the piano by
Mrs A E. Si.-inh the congregation
bowed it! 'dent prayer with ihe
four ministers present. The tH&xolofcy
was sung, the singing under

which the congregation joined. The
pastor. Rev. G k . Brinknuu:. read the

Brinkman, who took as his theme
God's commend to King Solomon to
build the Temple at Jerusalem, as a
permanent House of God. He set
forth in fervid language the fact that
God demands respect for Himself and
for His House, loves those who follow
this demand and punishes those
who do not respect Him and His
place of worship, where He is invisibly
present.
Rev. j. R. Walker, the beloved pastor
who atoned the ouiiainjr, spoke
of the beginnings, the trials and tribulations
during the years, and of
the splendid church, so line in design
and workmanship, which has crowned
the hopes. He offered prayer and
then the dear old hymn "How Firm

was sung, and Pastor Brinkman pronounced
the benediction.

the afternoon Rev. J. R. Walker,
preached a special sermon and discussed
the meaning of such a church
as this, which represents the desire,
the zeal, the perseverance, the prayers
and the generosity of a whole
community. He spoke of the increased
responsibility such a church
carries with it. In the evening, the
Sunday School exercises were held,
