21UBBE& itself
Back in 1911 I met a groat German
fcciimt'ist, Dr. Duisbe?-g, who showed
me a set of tires he had made for the
Kaiser's car, from artificial rubber of
his own invention. I u*ked hun how
he did it.
It a perfectly simple,'' he replied.
' ^ s done by the polymerization of
isporene Which left ine right where
I was at the start.
biiice then thousands of others have
tried to muke mbber synthetically.
&/ine have got belter results than
(Hhens, but nobody yet has produced
it rubber substitute that answens all
the purposes of nutural rubber and
.'osts no more.
An American company has produced
something that works, but it is too
expensive for ordinary use. The kl
eat rcj[K/it from Germany is that a
Synthetic rubber superior lo the natur
al article i? being produced from petrol
euiu. That is doubted by practical
rubber men.
?Some day, however, somebody will
turn the trick.
BUDDHA ... . i' geography
The sect of Buddhists who live in
Tibet regard their high priest, the
''Dukli Lama'' 'as their spiritual and
temporal ruler. When he dies, thev
Relieve, his soul enteis tiie body of a
newborn babe, who at once become.-,
uic Dalai Lama.
The last Dalai Lama died in Decem
ber 1933, and ever since then the
ilbetans have been hunting fbr ??
child born at the instant of lus deaith.
they have not found one, and liave
about decided to accept the spiritual
overlordship of another Damn, the
?'?panchau l^ama," who 1hl> btien an
exile in China for twelve years.
Tliat may result in putting China b
position to control the mysterious land
pil the Himalayan plateau, and so ex
pand westward while Japan is slicing
>l'f Chinese territory in the North.
Little things often have great co:
sequences. Nobody can guess what is
-,'oing to lwppcu in Asia, but the l'aii
no of the Tibetans to find a baby
in just at the right time may
change the geography of a nation.
l'
WAR ...... honored I
The town of Bodenwerdcn, in ?Ger
many, has bought the Iiou.se in which I
iiuron Munchausen, the world's most
i.unions liar, used to live, lie was born
there 210 years ago, and won famel
tor the "tall stories" which he usedf
?0 tell ahout his adventures as a sol
iber and a hunter. One of his listen-1
?rs wrote down some of the baron's
yarns and sold them to a Ijondon book
>ubli.slier, who printed them in 1785.
Since then the noble name of
U'ieronynius Karl Fitiederieh, Prie-I
herrr von Munchausen, bas been af
ynojiym for "Mar" throughout th(
Knglsh-speaking world.
Lately there has been a revival of|
interest in the type of obviously exag
gerated or impossible tales such jusl
Bail >n Munchausen told. Bu(t the
technique is d iff emit. Baron Mun
chausen's stories are not thrilling
enough for young people who rea-.l |
the "Tarzan" stories and delight iuj
rhe adventures of "Buck Rogers."
LANGUAGE .... our own I
It would be a monotonous world :f
everybody looked alike, thought alike,
dressed alike and spoke alike. I have
'ong felt that we were getting tooj
completely standardized, and I am
?jflad to hear the voie-e of I'rofeesor
' Ioffman of Boston University raised
in defense of variety in speech and
accent.
"If everbodj' talked with the pre
&?:on of ? radio announcer,'' iPrwfes
r.or Hoffman said" the other day, "our
common speech wonld be lacking in
charm, vitality and the human touch."
I hope none of .the attempts of,
podianfa and purists to make every
body speak alike will ever destroy
*he accents of the South, ?r deprive,
Xc w England of its shoTt-voweUed,
clipped staccato speech.
One of my fads for years has been
I to try to tell where a person was
j'' raised'' by Kstening to him or her
speak. I am seldom more than a state
I or two out of the way.
