Chemists Are Told Of Rubber Substitute
Chicago, (INS)—A rubber substitute made chiefly from soybean oil, and in some qualities superior to rubber itself, was described yesterday to the ninth annual chemurgic conference in Chicago.
The new product, however, has not been developed to a point where it may be used for the manufacture of tires, although this eventual use has $ ^{*} $
not been ruled out by its sponsors.
Andrew J. Snyder of Reichhold Chemicals, Inc., Detroit, said he first saw samples of the rubber-like product on a visit to the northern regional laboratory at Peoria, Ill., in July of last year and immediately became interested.
Formula Given To Experimenters
He was given the formula, as were other companies, and Reichhold began its experimental production. Christening the new product "Agripol."
"I'm sure," he said, "the question will be asked 'is the Agripol suitable for making tires?' My present reply is 'no.' However, we recently requested permission of the WPB to make a set of tires in order that we could have some idea how the Agripol would behave when made into tires.
"We know that Agripol does not have the tear and abrasion resistance, at the present time, to give a satisfactory automobile tire. Nevertheless, we feel that with the progress that has been made since last July, Agripol may still have possibilities for recapping, or even tires.
Better than Rubber for Some Things
"However, the use of Agripol in the field of static rubber has many possibilities, not only now but even after the war is over. For example, long tests have shown that Agripol is equal to, or better than, natural rubber at low temperatures such as 40 degrees below zero."
Snyder said present uses to which the new product was best adapted were for gaskets, wirecoating, hose lining, proof goods, adhesives, sponge rubber, and as an extender for natural, reclaimed and synthetic rubber.

safety pins in the sacred name of Pillai. The University Intramural Association is happy to report that, thanks to Hess's clear thinking, embarrassing moments at the meet were cut to a minimum.
The feudin' spirit: Frank Rush and Bill Woods, ATO's, arrived at Brick's at 7:30 the other evening to find the door bolted from within. They could hear the clinking of glasses and the sound of the nickleodeon so they knew things were still cooking inside. After much banging, a patient voice explained that closing hours were at hand and no new customers could be admitted. The boys were furious. On account of the injustice of it all, they barred both doors and left. Evidently Woods and Rush know their bars. The management had to hoist a small waiter out through a back window to free its trapped customers.
Household hints: Van Harrison and Tom Perdue of the John Moore Coop hid an angel food cake in their dresser drawer. The feed the next night had not progressed far before the boys realized that they should have taken a pile of rose scented moth balls into consideration before hiding the pastry—but the two were so hungry they ate, anyway. Shortly afterwards, other John Moore residents united in a cooperative movement to string Harrison and Perdue up in a couple of closets. It is said both filled their surroundings with an asphyxiating aroma of rose moth balls with every exhalation.

Rommel's troops have made some gains, their danger from the Americans has not lessened. American troops advancing from Maknassy poured fire on Mezzouna about twenty miles from the coastal highway in Tunisia.
German troops operating in this shell shocked center of the Tunisian front today mowed down a group of 40 Italian soldiers advancing with upraised hands toward the American line to surrender. The Nazi opened fire from a hill position to the right of the Italians.
OFFICIAL BULLETIN
Every one of them was killed by their Axis allies. Military observers with the American forces characterized this as an indication of the desperation now being experienced by Gevman forces whose every attempt to bend or break the American line has failed.
