PULP FROM COTTON STALKS.

Heretofore the cotton plant stalks
have been considered absolutely
yalueless If not a troublesome fea-
ture incidental TO the growing OF
cotton After the picking of the
cotton crop the stalks had to be cut
and burned at cost OF about $1.00
per ton And il must be borne in
mind that there are approximately
tons of stalks TO every ton of cot
ton. so that the cost OF this unpro-
ductiye labor has been considerable.
A use for cotton stalks has final
nally been developed and although
the resultant industry is only be-
ginning il promises to be an inpor
tant one. Already a plant is being
erected at Greenwood, Miss. which
win be devoted 10 the preparation
of pulp from cotton stalks.
In the main the cotton stalks af-
ter being converted into pulp are
to be used in the place of wood
pulp in paper making. Because of
the stronger fibres of the cotton
stalk pulp, it is said that paper man
ufactured from this cheaper pulp
is considerably stronger in proper
ton to its thickness and weight than
that produced from the usual wood
pulp
With the continually increasing
consumption of wood pulp there ex-
lists the danger OF serious deple
ton of the country's forests. Even
III reforestation were carried out on
a scale equivalent to the eonsump-
tion of timber used in paper maxi
ing, time would soon be reached
when the paper fibre would have to
be raised as crop.
The use of cotton pulp is not linn
tied to the making of paper. The
cotton stalk fhres have been found
capable OF outstanding the mira
ting process involved in the making
Of gun cotton On the other hand,
wood pulp cannot be employed in
producing gun cotton. since the fbres
do not withstand the carbonizing ef-
feet OF the acids. Cotton has here
tofore been used in the making OF
gun cotton, and much OF the cotton
Will be released in the future for
other purposes.
Aside from the two afore-men-
toned products. there are many
Others that may be derived from
the cotton stalks, among them being
artificial silk. The latter is pro
duced by first dissoIving the pulp
in amyl acetate. The resultant yis-
icous liquid may be spun into threads
OF any desired size and used singiy
or twisted together If the strands
are fine The threads thus secured
may bo woven into fabrics and used
in the making of wearing apparel

scHUETTLER LOOMS STRONGER
AS NEW POLICE CHIEF
Indications grew stronger today
that the newspaper choice, Herman
F. SchuettIer, would cop the job of
chief of police. This is seen as a
final attempt of the Lundin-Thomp-
son crowd to get in right with the
press.
With murders and hoIdups becom-
ing more and more frequent in the
city daily and with Chicago getting
a bad reputation for crime, business
men are crying for an efficient police
man in the chiefs Office regardless of
his political affiliations. SchUettler
is supposed to be this man.
Mayor Thompson refused to admit
or deny that Herman would be the
boss Of the police department after
Jan. 1. But insiders are sure.
Criminals of the gun or lighting
cred sort, gamblers of the handbook
variety and Sunday saloons will be
prosecuted to the limit, Thompson
announced.

QUIZZERS
AT WORK
Examining Fee Of Seveniy-Fiye Cents Will
Be Paid Directly 10 City Clerk by
Applicant for Permit

The first one 10 pay for license to
drive motor car under the new law
was Charles Holding, the nineteen
yearold son of Judge B. r. Holding,
who was followed by r. Il. Jacks.
Both passed satisfactory examinations
under the scrutiny Of Emmett Barton.
BY agreement Of the three members
of the examining board the examina-
tion fee OF seventy-five cents will be
paid directly to City Clerk Reynolds
when the applicant applies for the IL
cense, which costs ST. extra.
Every individual who drives a car
must nave a separate license. This
does not seem to be clearly under
stood said member Of the examin-
ing board to an Express reporter this
morning. One business man told me
Saturday that 1t was not necessary for
the other four members Of his family
to undergo the examination in order
to drive as he himself would apply
for a permit which was sufficient for
the family ! enlightened him on the
subject and should any member Of his
family be caught driving within the
city limits without a license such mem
ber will be subject to arrest under the
law. Every member Of any family
who expects to operate a car must
have a permit to do so.'
While no formal meeting mas yet

clear understanding exists among them
as the results Of informal talks and
the work will be concluded with dis
patch and satisfaction. But the per-
son who would manage a car must
come up to requirements.
