Elec TeJ. Copyright-United Press Assn.) lAustralian an.l N.Z. Cable Association) (Received May 20, 1.50 p.m ) LONDON, May 19. ATotessor Dunstan, at the Imperial Institute, tested numerous substitutes for spruce pulp. He states that bamboo is most hopeful. Esparto grass from Tunis was excellent, but it needs combining with other materials, mixed with chemicals and absolutely pure water. South Africa produces the right sort of grasses abundantly, but wattle bark waste is far better and makes good paper, bleaching well. It is suggested that consumers should form a Producing Association similar to cotton-growing.
