Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Fred Handler read a paper prepar- ( ed by Mrs. Harl Hollingsworth on ( the subject, "The Romance of Rub- . her." She described the rubber tree in Its native state and told how the sap was collected and prepared. She also told how the name rubber happened to be applied to the , hardened sap. An artist in Eng- , land found that it would erase pen-) . cil marks, hence, the name rubber. The United States Rubber Com- ! pany has more than five million rubber trees under cultivation on the Island of Sumatra in the East Indies. Ten thousand people are employed in taking care of them. The average life of a rubber tree . is ten yeat s, and it was found that it takes sap from two trees to make one Ford tire. Mrs. Handier told of the limita-' tions of rubber because of its reaction to heat and cold, till Charles Goodyear discovered away to harden it. Now its uses are miltitudinous with forecasts of riding | on rubber streets, walking on rub-| ber sidewalks, sitting on rubber i chairarms, and rubber desks and I tables that can be scarcely told | from the finest walnut and mahog-1 any. Following the reading of the paper, Mrs. Homer Lower, the president, in a niemoriam to Mrs. M. J. Wertzberger, who recently departed this life, paid tribute to the memoiy of the much loved' member. Mrs. Wertzberger is sadly missed by the group of women. Mrs. Ahr served refreshments following the meeting and the next club meeting will be held with Mrs. John Schafer, and she will also have the paper. o I Vincennes, Ind., April 10. —<U.R) |. —Auto accidents last night resulted in death of two children here.

She traced the child conferences from the Biblical times down through the one called by President Roosevelt at which the United States Children's Bureau was originated, to the one held last November at the White House. Dr. Schweitzer expressed her pnpreciation of the fine work of the labor department of the national government in the protection of children. She stated that the bureau had helped tojfind out the needs of the children through surveys in various parts of the country. In considering the problems of children she said that nothing was too hard to do, that a person's likes and dislikes faded into insignificance in the protecting of lives of children. The May Day program, approved by the President, and the National and State Health officers, was discussed, and suggestions were made for the children’s charter. Dr. Schweitzer said that the home was the greatest influence for the children, and to have physically, ( mentally ami morally strong children it wa*s necessary to have a home with such requisites.
