trimming the tree should from then on-give av perpetual-supply of tanning material it never being necessary to move the ex- tract plant or would it mean "killing the goose that lays the golden egg" es Is the case with our American hemlock and oak trees being foiled in order to obtain the bark for tanning? i IF these Australians were never allowed to grow above five to six feet In Jiglght would facilitate eiymueh in harvesting the needles and at 'the same time would bring forth a much thicker growth of the needles Afa-chinery for trimming as well qs raking up the needles and conveying same to tractors would in the mind be the plan to handle this new tanning material in getting it to the extract plant Though it requires from five to six pounds of the needles to make one pound of the extract the easy manner in which these needles are gathered and hauled to the plant in comparison to present methods 'employed in peeling bark from the trees $Liide from the costly chlpplng-machine employed in making the chestnut oak wood extract the needle extract will cost so much less owing to the easy method of obtaining the raw material that the quantity of needles and the handling of same more than offsets the tremendous cost of felling trees This being taken into consideration the neecllq extract will sell on par 171th the -present price paid-for the chestnut wood extract which is one of our most staple American extracts on the market today 1 The proof of the various statements here made can be verified by the writer's associated chemist Roy Wisdom cbief chemist of the Stanford Dye Wood Extract company Stamford Conn- At the'present time we are per: fectlng a recent discovery made by the writer- which will make perfectly white leaflier This agent like the Australian needles can be cultivated giving a perpetual supply of tannin 12 months In the year and is superior to the imported Italian sumac making leather that compares in mellowness and softness to the white alum leather

BAN TALK IN ELEVATORS SPECIAL 70 THC REKALS LOS ANGELES Aug The ban has now been placed on talking In elevators A new city ordinance forbidding "unnecessary conversation" in elevators has gone Into effect here The passing of the ordinance by the city council was the result of 'numerous complaints from business men that there was "too much chewing the rag" going oa In down-town elevators The non-talking in elevators law is a section to Ordinance No 15759 of the new city series and reads: "It shall be unlawful for any person to talk unnecessarily to on to engage' In unnecessary conversation with or in any way to annoy any elevator operator or other person operating any'elevator In the city of Los Angeles or for any such elevator operator to talk unnecessarily to or to engage in unnecessary conversation with any other person Provided however that nothing in this section shall be construed to apply to tha calling of floors of the building in which any such elevator is operated" This means also that when two persona step Into a "lift" they may not chat with each other or with the operator of the car tight iipa are to be the vogue The ordinance has been duly approved by Mayor Cryer FT PIERCE MAY MAKE ITS ICE AT CITY PLANT SPECIAL TO THE HERAIO FT PIERCE Fla Aug With a view to the possible establishment of a municipal Ice manufacturing plant to -make Ice for household purposes the city commission has Instructed City Ala nags Ryan to obtain and submit to It at its next meeting all available data relative to the cost of installing and operating snch plant in connection with the municipal light and water plant The idea is to install only a small unit to start with and enlarge it as the need Increases manufacturing ice only for household purposes for the citizens of the city With an abundance of electricity available from the municipal plant it is believed that Ice can be manufactured and sold by the city at a much smaller price than la now being paid and at a reasonable margin of profit for the city GOMPFlt NAMES COMMITTEE 'i TO INVESTIGATE IVJlStTIOVS CHICAGO Aug 25 Samuel Gompers president of the American Federation of Ijabor who recently

country to give their cooperation in supplying the government with information astojthe exact -quantity of various tanning materials foreign and domestic) they are using' today in- their tannextes and laying great stress on the of this in-i formation given Immediately going far as to state that' there i3 grave danger -of a shortage of our American tanning materials and as the writer received this communication from Washington a few ago be calling on the government at At time Je give their cooperation suggesting rin his letter that- they kindlyc-make 'thorough' Investigation as t6 what South Florida has to offer inMhe wdy of warding ott this short age of tanning material Ini deocribing the various tanning materials which abound' here in South (tropical) Florida there is need of first considering the geographical situation and the peculiarities of its climate because of these conditions its importance as a tgnnng material producing country depends I TROPICAL Florida climate compares J- well with that of India India i3 the greatest hide and tanning material producing country -in the world This Is owing to their mild climate and similar conditions which prevail here In South Florida Like the palmettoes that abound all over the state of Florida India possess-' es certain ehrub from which' the so-called Gambier tanning extract is made This shrub like the palmettoes produces a very similar extract and the raw product can be gathered 12 months in the year The tanic-acid is extracted from the leaves and twigij palmettoes ofrer tanning In the root of the plant Ihe India Gambier is the highest priced tanning agent on the market and is exported in tremendous quantities to all parts of the world the tanners of this country using a large percentage of this India product It Is generally known among tanners -throughout this country that a company was formed some years ago to manufacture palmetto tanning extract In fact during the short period of time that this extract was being made at Titusville Fla and later transferred here to Miami the writer like many ot our tanners throughout this country had an opportunity of testing out the Florida extract and 4n all cases where it was substituted for the India Gambler the tanners learned it made leather that was superior to that made by the imported product The only fault that tha tanners ex-pressed against the extract waa its lacking in tanic-acid strength It registering only 17- per -ceut-taanin where Gambler registers 25 per cent tannin in liquid extract form AS the tanners 'would not consider Its use unless the price was reduced to makeup Jor this weakness in 'strength and the --manufacturers failing to see how 'they could meet the price or increase the strength of their extract-concluded Lo go out -of business It -was during this time that the writer was conducting hfs own tannery srPeabodyMass that hfewas specializing in the of a certain leather 'which called for large quantities of the imported Gambier Borne years later the writer Invented a tanning process which had as its basis Gambler and the process sold readily to some of the largest tanning companies in this country and Canada It was during period that while the writer was traveling from tannery to tannery instructing this new process he devised the idea of coming to Florida in search of 'substitutes for all the tanning agents that his tanning formula called for feeling assured from actual experience that Gambier could be substituted by the palmettoes of Florida As this secret process met such favor and become widely known as the Lloyd process 'the writer figured If his process could be made from Florida tanning materials and sold on the market in the concentrated form (extract) it undoubtedly would meet the same favor as it did when he personally went to the tanneries and instructed the tanner how to mix the various ingredients ON- reaching Florida several years ago he started In on his research mission to find substltntes of various tanning agents -which -would take the place of those that his formula called for -This -as -you -can Imagine 'could not-be accomplished overnight-It requiring something over a year before he discovered his first substitute However -his efforts were rewarded for he succeeded in what heset out' to accomplish inasmuch that he has duplicated each and every one of the tanning agents 'that made up his tanning formula In addition to making a palmetto extract which possesses an added vegetable agent containing similar properties as the palmetto but very much stronger In tanic-acid which has overcome the difficulty that the original promoters of this extract failed to accomplish this extract registering on having analysis made 261 per cent tannin per cent above the standard strength that all extracts on the market must register The writer can see no reason for our American canning industry being de pendent on British India or any other foreign country for their tanning materials when right here in South Florida we possess similar conditions as India or any other tropical sections of the world when we possess such an abundant supply of various tanning materials much of which is superior to the foreign agents We will take for example our Florida sumac The writer has made an analysis of this well known tanning agent showing that it is far superior in quality to the sumac grown in Virginia and comes the nearest in quality and strength to the south of Italy sumac Florida mangrove bark though not as strong as the African mangrove but when combined with other tanning agents which are here in ahundanee makes good marketable extract for certain kinds of leather THE Australian pine tree offers tan xun In the needles which the analyses show are very strong in tannin and resemble-very much the chestnut oak wood extract (not the bark) in quality and strength This being one of the writer's most recent discoveries and having tanned several hundred hides and skins the writer found the needles have many advantages over the method employed In the extraction of the tanic-acid from the wood of the chestnut oak To accomplish this It means the felling of the tree hauling the logs a great distance to the extract plant where a costly chipping machine cuts the wood into fine bits before entering the large leaching tanks which extracts the tanic-acid from samej whereas the Australianneedies are obtainable by simply trimming the trees no long hauld to the extract plant for SPECIAL TO THE HERAL0 rpT PIERCE Fla Aug The act an oppellate'courtj In

tanning industry interested in these various new tannin agents The world war put a crimp in his plans and for some time since the war ended the foreign tanning materials became a drug upon the market and owing to so many tanneries being compelled to shut down owing to there being great quantities of leather which the government threw upon the market it naturally required time to change these- conditions Now that the government has taken steps to investigate the amount of tanning materials being used by the tanners of this country the writer is calling on them at this time for their co-operation for if they feel that the tanning industry of America is in danger of running short on our own native tannin agents they should not overlook South Florida's reserve tanning materials They should do as they have asked the tanners c6-operate Respectfullv submitted By WALTER LLOYD TrfE ASSOCIATED Miss LONDON Aug 25 Alajor General Peyton March former chief Of staff ot the' American army
