This new raw. material for textiles,

The process, patented all over the
world, utilizes bamboos and other
fibrous plants in which the tropical
parts of the empire are fabulously

consort of Queen victoria) is to be al
lowed to dwindle and in time will en-.
tirely disappear.
Originally instituted by Queen Vic
toria in 1882 in memory of the Prince
consort, it is now confined to a, slow
~ decreasing number of distinguished
women. 1t is the one order of chiv-

Peerage to. which additions are. no
longer made.
Apart from the Queen and other
royal ladies, there are but twelve
members of the order living, Lady

of these.

comparatively few of the Youngest
can look forward to reaching the
grades of lieutenant colonies or col
.onels. Ofiicers in and below the hump
are confronted with disparity and
stagnation in promotion, with reten-
ton in subordinate positions during
the greater part of their career and
with remaining in the various grades
long after they have passed the ages
appropriate to such grade. Such a
prospect, it is contended, cannot be
reconciled to the maintenance of the
active, virile and efficient personnel
that national defense demands. and
a revision of the promotion list as a
remedy for the promotion situation,
it is insisted, would serve merely to
interchange the present prospects Of
