PLANS TO MAKE
PRINT PAPER OF
MARSH GRASSES
Hartford Man Establishes
Big Business to Garry Out
Scheme.

In a recent issue of the Atlanta
Ga, Constitution, Fred Lewis tells
of 1.-THE transforming of the quaint
old town of St. Mary's," and includ-
ed in the story is an account Of how
a Hartford man, Burdett LOOMS,
proposes to manufacture paper from
| grass. In these days when the paper
market has gone skyrocketing and
the supply, particularly of print
paper, has become aserious prob
lem, the success of Mr.. Loomis' ven
ture is of the utmost Importance
Says the Constitutions
The Burdett Loomis corporation,
an extensive paper manufacturing
plant, will soon place on the market
good papers made from marsh grass
and other products which are plenti-
full or which thrive and flourish here
Mr.. LOOMS, a Hartford, Conn.,
capitalist, who has made an intimate
study Of the paper industry has Civ
en- some eight years, with invest
ments aggregating half a million dol
lars, to experimentation with south
east Georgia products available for
paper-making. He spent much time
in and around Waycross and finally
moved to st. Mary's as the most ad-
vantageous point of the particular
purpose he had in view.
His company has acquired an ex-
tensive site on the North river with
splendid terminal facilities, from
which there is straight shoot with
deep water direct to the sea some
six miles away.
Here a large and valuable paper
plant has already been set up and
has for some time been in operation
with the result that substantial
papers have been made from the
various materials abundant1y avail
able in this territory In connection
with it there is a wel1-equipped lab
oratory for the conduct Of all neces-
sary experiments.
cit is possible to make every pound
of paper the world needs right here
On the Georgia coast" Mr.. Looms
said, land I am going to show them
before I<get through with it"
Although 80 years old, Mr.. LOOMS
has refused to retire from active
life, even at the urgent insistence OF
members Of his family. He feels he
has a definite mission to perform
right here at st. Marys, and if it
works out as he has projected it.,
there is no question that he will
leave Georgia one of her richest le-
gacies In a delightful home, a house
built here, perhaps, a hundred years
ago, he lives with his wife-they
have been married So years-and

From marsh grasses-there are
millions of tons of them here along
the coast within easy reach-Mr.
LOOMS has made a. splendid grade
of wrapping paper and box boards.
He has demonstrated the commercial
possibilities in it. But he is working
far beyond that.
"In the making of paper" Mr..
LOOMS said, ''there come off many
by-products. There are acids and al
| kalis of common commercial use;
there are fertilizing materials; there
are drugs or materials from which
valuable drugs are now extracted.

RUMANIA'S NEW CAPITAL.

The city of Jassy, to which the Ru-
manian government and diplomatic
authorities removed when the leu
tons began their victorious advance
on Bucharest, is a city of about $780,
600 population, and an importanta
trade center. It is situated in the
valley Of the Bachlui, tributary Of
..--auh- schiybmos
the Pruth, and only a few miles from
the latter river, which forms tho
boundary between Roumania and the
Russian province of Bessarabia. This
is not Jassy's first experience as a
capital, as it was. the seat of govern
ment Of the principality of Moldavia,
when the Turks controlled Roumania.
From distance Jassy as very i'm
posing city, and appears to have
many times it's real population, be-
cause Of the great area covered, due
to the fact that most of the houses
have large surrounding grounds In

squalid place, on close acquaintance,

KILBANE TALKS OF
QUITTING WITH HIS
TITLE STILL INTACT

Cleveland, Dec. 1S-Johnny Kill
bane is talking about retiring from
the Queensbury arena undefeated
for his championship laurels to en-
ter the business world in pursuit of
the elusive dollar.
If Johnny sticks to the resolution
he will establish an epoch in modern
day pugilistic history. There is no
record of a boxer quitting the sport
while he still was supreme in his dl-
vision since Jack McAuliffe stepped
down score of years ago and told
George (Kid) Lavigne to defend the
lightweight title, possession, of which
he conceded the Saginaw Frenchman
after an unpleasant experience Nc
Auliffe had with Lavigne in a node
cision bout at Philadelphia.
Search the history of pugll1sm
from time immemorial until the pres
ent and there are proofs that ring
champions never select the time TO
avert disaster that engulfS all VINO
overstep the portals of propriety.
1t is the aim of all champions to
get everything their titles are WORTH
and each expresses a hope to retire
with it unsullied, but in every IN
stance they continue until somebody
comes along and tumbles them over
the brink. Oftentimes they don't
profit by their experience; they sink
lower until the threshold of oblivion is
crossed and their career closed.
Whether Kilbane follows the beat
en- path depends entirely upon him.
self While there are no better
boys operating in the class dominated
by the Clevelander, Johnny might go
on indefinitely without meeting a re-
verse, but if he stands by his guns
long enough he, too, will feel the
weight of time, seen another better
suited to wear his crown, and the in
evitable will happen.
Kilbane doesn't have to worry over
the future comforts of life. Frugality
always was one of Johnny's valuable
assets, and barring unlocked for fl
nancial reverses the wolf can howl at
the Kilbane door until it is black in
the face.

state of perfection here that these by
products will meet the expense OF it.,
while the paper product itself Will
become clear profit. In a small way
l have already done this In few
years it is going to be done ON ex-
tensive scale. 1t is possible right
here to furnish the world it's paper
and get enough out Of the by-proe-
ucts to meet the cost OF manufac-
ture.''
Mr.. LOOMS says the cotton plant
is worthless as a source of paper
pulp; it lacks the fiber. He has eX-
perimented extensively with it and
has been compelled to discard it.
But there are a dozen or more
other things that will grow and -four
ish right here from which excellent
grades Of paper can be made. Inc
secret of success lies in using the fl
brous materials in a semi-green state
before they become brittle. From
various plants Mr.. LOOMS has made
experimentalIy all kinds of papers,
news, linen, manila, and with COM
pletion of the processes these can be
made, he states, in any desired guam
titles.
The common scrub palmetto,
which grows In wild abundance,
makes an excellent quality of wrap
ping paper and so-called straw
boards. The castor oil plant, the
sunfour, the banana plant, which is
the source of manila hemp, and
many others furnish ibers for the
manufacture of various kinds and
grades Of papers.
Mr.. LOOMS points out that the
seed of the sunf1ower will more than
meet the expense of cultivation,
while the stalk, with it's pith and
fiber, will make an excellent quality
of newspaper.
The important possibilities in these
experiments, just now approaching
their elimination. is emphasized by
the extra ordinary advance in the
price of papers within recent months
in which the growing scarcity Of raw
materials has played no small part.
With the success of the enterprise,
which is backed by Mr.. LOOMS and
his associates. Georgia will have been
given one Of the most remarkab BILE
as we'll as one of the most valuable
industries in the country.

FOR A 2OO-FOOT CHANNEL

The contract for deeping the outer
channel in accordance with the spe-
cifications Of the government en-
gineers and for which the last Con-
gress appropriated $4,000 was
awarded yesterday at New London
and a Bridgeport firm secured the
plum. The A. J. Beards1ey Dredging
Co. of the city was the lucky com
petitor, being the lowest of four bid
ders. There are 100000 cubic feet OF
the channel to be dredged and it is
said that when the work is COM
p1eted we will have a 200-foot chan
mel from deep water territory in the
Sound to the inner breakwater. AT
the present time we have at the wild
est part only 100 feet. And in some
portions this narrows down to so,
making a miserable and dangerous
passageway. The work in the har-
Dor; will be commenced at once.
