The' fact' that tbls la a ir.-ucuv In the life of a child of which the par ents are ften either woefully Ignor ant or heedless aa to Its consequenc es, 's strikingly brought out In the aulcide, of ta year old girl In Chi cago.' ' ' ' Rlssa Sachs loved both' ber father and mother. In a suit for divorce begun by the mother, Rlssa waa ob liged to testify against hor father. but ahe did It reluctantly. vTben came the necessity of choos ing between them.' jTbe mother'! en treaties bore heavily upon her. The father pleaded his loneliness and be threatened (o disinherit her unless she weut to live with him. Day after day the child puzzled over the matter, wuno tne cicrrs wore absorbed In their own sel'ish grievances, the.v did not notlco that the child's heart waa breaking under the strain. " Finally In her own childish war the solution became clear. She de cided that the only way was - for ierl to kill herself, and then the struggle would be over, ' ' ' J ' She sacrificed ber own life, and gave up both. i And the' renunciation ' la - all the' more pitiful because no 'one knew the Struggle' she went through, and the agony she must bave suite., ed In reaching tbls conclusion.

Then she had a last talk wltu her mother, and clothed lay down on ber bed that night, with the gas turned on, and awaited .death alone. It 1 pitiful, 'Isn't, It? Because childish griefs are so much deeper than fathers and mothers think. And this father and mother, by rea. son of their own selfishness and lack of adaptability to each other's little foibles, have murdered the child who must, after all, have been dear to them.

The prediction Is made that a' big drop Is likely' and that the reduction will be permanent. This opinion, is based on ttip re'mark- able development in rubber culture within a few years. A great demand for rubber waa the result of its use for automobile tires and in numerous electrical ' .devices. The quantity available was believed .to be limited, most of the raw material coming from Brazil, , , Then began search for other sourc es of supply. It has Been found that there are many sections, , chiefly in tropical regions adapted-to the pro duction ot the rubber tree.
