8 GLENDALE OPENS ARMS TO THRONGS Celebrates Installation of Electric Light Plant in Carnival of Merrymaking BARBECUE IS STAR FEATURE Vaquero Club Thrills Thousands with Feats of Horsemanship. Entertainment Varied Glendale, the Jewel City of the San Fernando valley, was at home yester day to its neighbors. Thousands called and thousands were made welcome. The celebration was arranged to cele brate the installation of a municipal electric light plant, and last night the broad thoroughfares of the downtown district were gay with light, while everywhere hung orange bunting, the carnival color, together with American flags and Japanese lanterns gayly hued. All day long and far into the evening outgoing cars on the Pacific Electric line were crowded with passengers eager to enjoy the city's hospitality, and a royal welcome they received up on their arrival in the town. The Salt Lake road carried other hundreds to the merry-making. There were crowds, but little crowding and no discomfort. The weather was ideal. Morning visitors were sent sightsee ing, automobiles and carriages pro vided by the carnival committee taking them to the various points of interest. Many went to Verdugo canyon, to Verdugo park, the Glendale Country club and other accessible beauty spots. And when they returned they were singing, with their hosts, "Has' Ever ybody Here Seen Glendale?" an impro vised lyric fitted to the familiar tune of "Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?" At noon the hungry visitors appeased their appeptites at a great barbecue, •which provided literally tons of finely cooked and tender meats, the pits be ing in charge of R. G. Doyle. In the afternoon there was a thrill- Ing exhibition of horsemanship by members of the Vaquero club, athletic contests of various sorts, including a baseball game, and other diversions. In the evening there was a band con cert and speech making, the speakers being Lee Gates and Col. T. C. Thorn ton. ' . ■ ; ; _ FRENCH MARRIAGE LAW ENCOURAGES MORALITY Fewer Formalities Increase Num ber of Weddings to Rec ord Breaking Point PARIS, May 14.—1t is an interesting and noteworthy fact that since the promulgation of the law of June, 1807. the effect of which is to simplify the formalities which are the necessary preliminaries to marriage in this country, there have been more wed dings 'in France than at any period since tli.. beginning of last century, with the exception of the years 181J and 1872, in the former of which men contracted unions to escape being sent oil to light, while in the latter many weddings took place which had been delayed by the war with Germany. This very satisfactory stale of things is due to the initiative of tin- Abbe kern ire, one of the deputies for the department of the Nord. He was not able to get all his propositions :i<l"i>t ed by his colleagues, but the law which was finally passed, such as it is, lms already done a vast amount of good. Among the relief which the act has brought to persons intending to marry it has. freed those who are over 80 years of age from procuring the whole series of documents and certificates upon which the code civil insisted. Then, alter the age mentioned, it is no longer necessary to obtain the con sent of 111«- parents—indeed, after the age of "1 this can also be dispensed with, provided that it is shown that due notice has been sent to them. These are the two principal benefit's of the law of 1907, and the result is that many people are now maj^-ied who might formerly have been tempt ed to do without the ceremony, as they found it impossible to collect the necessary papers or were prevented by thjp caprice of parents who refused their consent for no valid reason. What the relief thus obtained means ■will be understood when it Ls explained that in the case of persons who had lost their parents and who were en gaged to be married upwards of nine teen documents were required by the (■mil civil of 1804, Including two cer tificates of birth, two of residence, two of non-opposition, tin 1 usual mill" tary record book, four certificates of the death of the parents and eight of the grandparents, for the entire si i of Which $10 had to be paid. Naturally it is in the large towns where people have been living for awhile away from their native villages that tin; result of this beneficent law of I!»o7 has been most conspicuous, and all this makes for morality, which In these days seems to require a good deal of practi cal encouragement, at least in cities. TRIES TO WALK THROUGH TUNNEL HOME; ARRESTED NEW yORK, May 14.—Following his refusal to pay his fare to ride to Ji i sey City in the Hudson tunnel, a man who said lie was Charles Schrelber of 806 Hudson street, Hoboken, jumped down on the tracks and started to walk through the tube early this morn ing.

I RUBBER SOARING; WORLD IS AGAPE British Speculation and Increased Demand for Auto Tires Influence Prices FIND NO CRUDE GUM FAMINE Situation Thought Stimulus to Ex ploitation of New Brazilian Rubber Fields The world Is standing aghast watch ing the high flight of crude rubber prlces and wondering whether the limit has been reached. Since the day when Charles Goodyear first discovered the art of vulcanization, the rubber milk of the tropical forest has played a part of increasing importance in sup plying articles of necessity to the com fort of mankind. Wnr fifty years the price of crude rubber has averaged considerably less than $1 per pound, two years ago it stood at 65 cents per pound, and today it is above $3—a level that takes it out of many a field it has heretofore occupied. Are the causes artificial or natural that have produced the present situa tion, and is the world to be deprived of the great boon Of cheap rubber? These are the questions that the peo ple are asking themselves and that led F. A- Selberling, president of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of Akron, 0., on a tour of investigation through South America that took two months' time and more than 2000 miles of travel ln fever-laden districts of the Amazon river. Mr. Selberling being—so far as known—the first American rub ber manufacturer to-make this perilous trip, his views, which follow, are of great Interest: "The high prices prevailing for crude rubber are fairly attributable to two primary causes: First, the abnormal draft upon the world's supply in pro viding tires for automobiles; Becond, the wild speculation in rubber and rub ber shares in England, which has taken on the aspect of a "South Sea Bubble' In a mad scramble of people of all classes to 'get rich quick' on rubber. LONDON CENTER London is the financial center of the world's rubber market, and the craze I now running Its course there is hav ing a tremendous sentimental influ ence toward lifting prices. This will correct itself in the collapse which, in due time, is certain to come, and will carry with it its trail of diaster and ruin to the rubber gamblers in the manner always attending the bursting of financial bubbles. "Storios ari^ being circulated to the effect that the rubber supply is be ing rapidly exhausted and that the world is faring a famine, but a care ful view of the situation justifies an opposite opinion. "The past year more than 70,000 tons of crude rubber, having a value ap proximating $300,000,000, were produced, of which 40,000 tons came out of the Amazon river. This was wholly wild rubber, gathered almost entirely from a belt extending along the Amazon and its tributaries, and running less than three miles into the interior. The I vast forest beyond these borders Is substantially untouched, but with tho building of the railroad around the falls of the Madeira, which will be completed In 1911, and with the build ing of roads through the forest con necting up rivers, the Introduction of the automobile nnd the gasoline boat, vast districts heretofore inaccessible will be brought within reach of the rubber gatherer, and while the gain in production each year has been ap proximately but 10 per cent over the previous year, there is no question that this percentage will increase largely from this time forward. "But a Very important factor toward relieving the existing situation is found In the plantation rubber in the East Indies, which Is now coming into tho market in large quantities, each year's production being substantially double that of the preceding year. Whereas we had less than 4000 tons In 1909, we shall receive approximately 8000 tons in 1910, and well up to 16,000 tons In 1911, and within five years a quantity larger than is now furnished by the Amazon, which is a remarkable result considering the fact that three years ago the production of the entire East Indian district represented but a few hundred tons. world xet:t)S it "That product of nature which ex-ists in abundance, and which the world needs, it will find a way to obtain. Wild rubber trees In almost limitless quantities exist in Brazil, awaiting tho touch of human energy to yield up their latex, and the world will un doubtedly find means to obtain Its re quired supply. "The ruling classes in Brazil are an intelligent people, and though they have been slow to realize the advan tage of planting rubber, they are now following tin- lead of the East Indies, and within :i few years the Amazon valley will bo furnishing plantation rubber far in excess of the wild rubber now coming down the river. "As an indication of tho Immensity of its opportunities, ono Island in tho mouth of tho Amazon river—lsle M:: rajo, which is larger than the state of Maine—is capable of furnishing- planta tion rubber in quantity more than the entire world is now consuming. The government is enacting- legislation to stimulate the planting of trees, and while we shall temporarily be sub jecti d to high prices on crude rubber, since it is known that plantation rub ber can be produced for 25 cents a pound as certain as night follows the day, we will within a few years have a large oversupply that will bring the cost lower than it has ever been here tofore. "Users of rubber tires, on account of the present high prices, will have thought toward prolonging their life and Increasing their mileage, which ran readily be clone by carrying prop er pressure of air, and particular with clincher tires, which, semi-deflated, will rim cut and speedily disintegrate. Watching the adjustment of brakes will largely extend the life of the I Tn ad cuts that reach the fabric should be; quickly repaired, to prevent moisture reaching the cotton thread."

The American generally speaks with pride about the "fast, twentieth century pace," and nearly every one who is active these days likes to feel that he is traveling as fast as his neighbors. Wo like to speak of our '■eighteen-hour trains," and it is only natural that most every one is fasci nated by speeding in an automobile. You would think, possibly, that the racing pilots alter several years of , vice at the wheel of high speed cars would begin to regard their nights at terrific speed as a matter ,• course a part of the day's work, as commonplace as any other work to which they would be devoted. I am convinced, however, thai the peculiar ly exhilarating sensation of traveling at a headlong speed never loses its charm. When once inoculated with the • I mania" you are almost "mi i irable." It has been my experience in the few years that I have been driving that no matter how fast-a pi lot may drive lie no sooner finishes the than he begins to Imagine that he could improve the time if he had another chance. Have you ever DO ; drivers of bis cars who would I finish a spectacular run. against time and would come rushing back to the Judges' stand with a plea for another trial, explaining that they wore sure they could cut off a second or two? There must be a glamour about motor rai racing, otherwise so many hundreds of thousands of people would not travel many miles and part with real money in order to witness the buttles between cylinders and men. And if these people in the grand stand become bo excited with the mere sight Of the contests and the odor of burning gasoline and oil, think of the thrill that surges through the men who are holding onto the steering wheel and trying to shove the prow of their speed demons to the front on some wicked turn with the big motor thun derlng regtlarly like the systematic firing from a squad of machine guns. Tho wind roars In your ears, the oar thunders onward, fairly alive, as if pulsing with a life all its own; the oil tatoos your face and the odor of the burning gas fairly intoxicates you; the dust and grime and dirt cake on your face, but there is an intense feel- Ing of conquest, battle, which makes the red blood course madly through your veins. And to come home the victor, Hashing by the grand stand with the checkered ilag indistinct in the haze of smoke and dust, gives a man a feeling of accomplishment— achievement And the plaudits of the crowd make you glad to be alive, make you feel that here is an openly ex pressed appreciation for something done well. HOW TO GET DOWN A city boy, visiting in the country, had been assisting the farmer and amusing himself by tramping the hay on the top of the hay stack. Finally he shouted: "Say, mister, how am I to cet down?" The fanner looked at him and shout ed back: "Just shut jrour eye; and walk about a bit."—Suburban Life.

BEST plac» to buy lt-«JXI that Dlac« advertise*, AUTO CALLED A BIRD, ANTELOPE AND A FISH Oldsmobile Which Makes a Re markable Run Is Given Odd Characterization An automobile which "flew like a bird, swam like a flsh and climbed like an antelope," Is the proud possession of a Kansas City man. In this manner Charles E. Logan characterizes his six cylinder Oldsmoblle limited touring car in which he recently made a trip from Kansas City to his ranch in San Luis valley, Colorado. Mr. Logan drove his car through without a mishap and says he had the experience of his life. Through eastern Kansas the mud was as bad as could be and he was often told by farmers that he simply could not get through; that they were not willing to make the attempt to get to town to buy provis ions with a light wagon and a four horse team. These statements did not discourage Mr. Logan In the slightest, his reply being that he and the "lim ited" could go where the four horses could not, and he proceeded to show his faith by his works, even if It did require two days to cover the 75 miles from Kansas City to Topekn. In western Kansas the sand encoun tered was worse than the eastern Kan sas mud. But again the "big six" went through. The question of roads seems to have hern the least of Mr. Logan's trou bles, for in Colorado, or parts of it, where he found no roads, he made his own. liridges were also a minor con sideration for where he found none he built them, or, If the stream were too wide for that, he plunged in and forded. In crossing the divide via La Veta pass, which is 11,200 foot above the nea level, the "big six" plunged into a twenty-foot snow bank, but came out without a scar of any kind. Mr Logan was as daring as he was enthusiastic, and there was absolutely no stopping hla onward march. There were places in the mountains where there were no roads, where he crossed on the ice and where as much as eighteen inches of skidding would have carried him a certain drop of 2000 or 3000 feet. But the big Olds mobile didn't skid or he could not have told the story himself. 2300 MOTOR CARS NOW OWNED IN MEXICO CITY Wealthy Citizens and Officials Purchase Automobiles Alexander Byron Mohler, Of the City of Mexico, who is the largest auto mobile dealer in old Mexico, pays: "There are 2300 motor earn in the City of Mexico. We sell cars mostly to Mexicans; some to the very wealthy and some to those connected with the government. L,atin people are very critical, and they must be shown that the car is good before they buy. "On account of the high altitude, the roads and the mountains, it takes a good car to stand the gaff. As loon as a car falls down it is almost impos sible to make Mexican people consider it again. They won't have anything but the best. "For instance, I had an experience with a well krynvn expensive car. I sold a few of them—they fell down. No mutter how much ftdvertiainff, or what we did, we could not get that car back on the market. We spent $7000 in one year advertising that car, and .sold only three of them." WHISTLE IN THROAT; SURE, BUT 'TWAS TIN NEW YORK, May 14 — Samp.=nn Shelter, aged 8, of Baldwin, L. 1., is Just ablo to tit up and marvel at the wonders of modern surgery, but never again, If he lives to be SO, will Sampson dally with a tjn whistle. He whistled him self to the boVderland of the Great Divide, nn.l then the X-ray and the surgeon« stepped In and drafted him out of danger, hence the swearing off on tin whistles. It wasn't much of a tin whistle at that. It wan the sort of a tin whistle a rubber ele phant usually wears where his stomach should he a flat tin lozense with a hole in the middle of It, so that It whistles both waye. Sampson Shelter started for school Wednes day morning tooting the whistle. In order to Ket action he had to put Ihe whistle In hl» mouth. He stubbed his toe and sucked the whistle down his windpipe, and when hn tried 10 cough It out again he succeeded In pro ducing nothin* hut shrill blasts. With overjr breath the boy drew the whlßtle shrieked, and It answered to his frightened exhalation* Sampson raced home, whistling frantically. "Speak to me, my son!" screamed his moth er, "speak to me!" But Sampson could not apeak. It was all he could do to whistle. Sampson's father poured 011 down his throat; no whistle came up. For noun tho Sheffer family labored with young Sampson, but the whistle remained fast In th» windpipe, where It gave news of Itself every time Sampson breathed. At last the neighbors got an automobile and Sampson, still whistling feebly was hurried Into the ear and all speed laws were broken, Sampson whistling with every revolution of tho wheels. He was still whistling In a dls plrltad sort ot way when the surgeons opeer ated on him. FILTH AND CHICKS Filth and chicks do not agree.
