...important factor in our fight against un employment! . . . The German motor vehicle is not only the fastest but-we can say this pridefully-the best in the world. . . . Soon the Fatherland will be self-sufficient in motoring! I consider that the problem of synthetic fuel, like that of synthetic rubber, has been solved by German Science in principle. ... I point pridefully to our Party's record: four and a half times more new German cars licensed this January than in January 1933! Directly and indirectly 1,000,000 Germans are employed in motorization, if we count those engaged...
...Breed in spite of frost-bitten feet. The last time she told the story was at a gathering in the Manhattan studio of an etcher where Nunsoe Due de la Terrace had not only had his portrait etched but where he himself unveiled the work by yanking a rubber mouse attached to the cord attached to the curtain on the easel (TIME, Dec. 17)Nunsoe Due de la Terrace of Blakeen's unofficial name is Duke.

Thus did potent Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. show that its new "Lifeguard Tube" had beaten the No. 1 bugaboo of U. S. motorists-the danger of loss of control following a blowout at high speed.

The inside tube or "lung," made of two-ply fabric, floats free under normal riding conditions, has a single small vent through which air escapes slowly when a blowout bursts the outer tube. Thus, it converts the blow-out into a slow leak, allows the driver to continue a mile or more with...

To support the ego of this promoter-king, black men were mauled by leopards, ripped by thorns, drenched by tropical storms, lashed by callous or vicious agents, cheated at the scales when they brought in their rubber, and kept in perpetual slavery by a "rubber tax" which had to be worked out in default of the money that no Congo Negro possessed.
