GHOST WRITERS The employment of ’’ghost writers’’ by statesmen and others to write speeches for them is a very ancient custom, according to Senator Ashurst of Arizona, who himself is one of the greatest of contemporary orators. He sai<\ it seemed well established that Nero, the Roman emperor, delivered speeches writen by his prime minister, Seneca, and that Julius Caesar had a ghost writer named Hirtius. Ashurst quoted Senator Vandenburg as authority for the statement that Alexander Hamilton wrote all but four lines of George Washington’s famous Farewell Address. ’ The ghost writers have often caused their clients much embarrassment by cribbing from the writings of others. The most tragic instance of the sort is told by Speaker John White of the Twen-ty-Fifth Congress, who employed a writer to prepare his farewell speech to the House. It seems, Ashurst said, that the writer copied extensively from the farewell address of Vice-President Aaron Burr, delivered before the Senate in 1805. When the source of the language used was discovered, White was "so overcome with mortification and disgust that he committed suicide. Which is a warning that if a statesman must have a ghost writer, he should be careful to select one that won’t le.t him down. TRY JOURNAL WANT ADS

EVOLUTION OF RUBBER - Recent barter negotiations for the exchange of American cotton for British rubber emphasizes the indespensability of both commodities in the modern world. But while cotton has been used for 3,000 or more, the rubber industry is of comparatively recent developmentEarly explorers found natives of Central and South America using the substance now called rubber in various crude ways, but little attention was paid to it and it was not until about 1770 tnat scientists began trying to make practical use of the peculiar material. In 1839, Charles Goodyear, an American inventor, discovered a method of vulcanizing rubber which he later improved and patented, and thus a new industry was born. By 1875 the world was using about 9,000 tons of crude rubber annually. L p”INE W Dry Cleaning CALL & DELIVER • SYRACUSE DRY • CLEANER Phone 90 M. E. RAPP

The advent of the automobile greatly Increased the demand for rubber, which by 1910 reached abou<> 90,000 tons.’ In 1935 world consumption totalled over a million tons, of which the United States used more than all other countries combined. Prior to 1900, wild rubber treeu, mostly in Brazil supplied all the world’s crude rubber. Nowmore than 98 per cent of all rubber is produced on plantations, principally in British possessions in the Far East. TRUTH IN STONE Everyone admits these days the important part the inventor plays in the progress of this country. Occasionally, however, we are Inclined to forget that the benefits of individual inventors would be >t far less value and service if it were not for the protection provided by the patent laws and the United States Patent Office. The fact that those laws insure a fair reward for work well done hjis done much to stimulate research and invention. The result has been the development of new products, which in turn provide new jobs and payrolls, and offer ® more comforts and conveniences to all Americans. To those who are inclined to ignore the contribution of the patent system to this process, a visit to the Patent Office in Washington is recommended. There, chiseled in stone over the door, the doubter will be able 1.0 read these immortal words of Abraham Lincoln: ‘THE PATENT SYSTEM 4DDED THE FUEL OF INTEREST TO THE FIRE OF GENIUS” And that’s truth in lasting stone that is well worth pondering!

TIP YOUR HAT TO TIPTOP TOPPERS FOR ICE CREAM AND FROZEN DESSERT Ice cream is a fine deserving summer dessert—and so are its cousins and its uncles and its aunts (courtesy Gilbert and Sullivan) named mousse and ice and mixtures; honey-base “goop” and butter-scotchy “goo”; fruits fresh, sherbet!

Sauces hot or eold of a chocolate nature, crunchy nuts and nut and fruits preserved or jammed or jellied; marshmallow cream and good things in syrup they are all toppers you’ll like and like a lot.

Make up some sauces yourself and store them in glass containers in your refrigerator (thrifty gals save the sanitary glass jars so many good things come packed in). Snatch from your fruit bowl and nut supply. Buy your ice cream, crank it, or turn it out of refrigerator trays. Get set with toppings. Assemble a few cookies — and you can turn on a party at will!
