GERMAN DECREE
USE OF PULP STAPLE FIBRE MANUFACTURE OF CLOTHES (United Press Association—By Electri* Telegraph—Copyright) (Received this day at 1.30 p.m.) BERLIN, November 4. With the dual purpose of assisting the beechwood pulp staple fibre called zellwoole, and cutting down imports of cotton and wool, it ha s been decreed! that all departmental issues of clothing must contain a specified proportion of zellwolle. There was ah abundance of failures 1 in the first suits made of artificial fibres. They lacked • warmth, and shrunk when they became damp, and became unpleasantly shinyj
Scientists are working to remedy the defects, and have already imparted c u rl fibre to give a closer knit and increased warmth.
