NEW MATERIAL FOR TEXTILES
USE OP REEPS, GRASSES, AND WEEDS. (Rec. July 11, 5.5 p.m.) London, July 11. Dr. Nanji (a Birmingham University trained Indian) in collaboration with Dr. Paton (of Bristol University) has evolved a process which is being patented throughout the world for the treatment of reeds, grasses and weeds, enabling them to be made up into a wide variety of textiles using existing machinery. If their hopes are justified, it is claimed that cotton, artificial silk and linen will be ousted by new and cheaper textiles, which will create an industrial revolution.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
