PERSONAL UENTION. 



Major .Arlington U. Betts, late governor of Albay province, 

 is mentioned by the Manila Times in a review of conditions in 

 the Philippines as "the man who developed the Albay coal 

 fields." .Albay produces more coal than all of the rest of the 

 islands, and a single company organized in this interest is capi- 

 talized at $3,000,000. Mr. Betts, at one time a rubber manu- 

 facturer at Toledo, went to the Philippines as a private soldier 

 in an Ohio regiment. 



Mr. William F. Mayo, of William F. Mayo & Co., of the Bos- 

 ton rubber footwear trade, accompanied by Mrs. Mayo and their

 cash donation 10 the I. B. Kleinert Employes' Benovolent As- 

 sociation. 



Mr. Charles R. Flint, who arrived in New York from Europe 

 during the month, is mentioned in foreign newspapers as having 

 acquired the agency for the United States for the Laubeuf type 

 of submarine boat, with the idea of submitting the same to the 

 United States government in connection with its specifications 

 recently issued. The authorities at Washington advise The 

 India Rubber World that these specifications are of a con- 

 fidential nature, intended for prospective bidders only, and can- 

 not be made public. 



.Monsieur Dclcourt, of the important rubber .shoe importing 

 firm of Ilaillot, Delcourt & Cie., of Valcienne, France, and 

 Peruwelz, Belgium, were in America during the past month, for 

 the purpose of meeting representatives of leading manufacturers. 



A considerable use for rubber is involved in supplying tubing 

 for spraying machines for farms and gardens, the use of which 

 is coming to be regarded as essential in many places. Such 

 sprayers are made by the Brandt ManufacturJiiK Co. (Hastings, 

 Minnesota),
