NEW YORK, March 12.-William S

He says this fabric can be used for

and little ''appertaining to and touch

be brought into competition with
marsh silk which will be only half as
expensive as that which owes it's
origin to the silk worm.

when asked for details. ''Well, l
haven't dealt with that phase of the
question. How would Azelina do?
When those Frenchmen get in the race

There are too many of those bright

Some of the fabric has been produced

material is white or nearly so in its
original shape and it will take dyes in
