Within the past so years more than
100000 new products have been
placed on sale in retail stores in -
United States and the day of new in
dustrial products has only begun,
Harry r. Daniel of the Commerce De-
partment said in the weekly depart
mental broadcast yesterday.
Discovery Of cellulose, he pointed
out, has caused almost revolutionary
changes in the textile industry and
the day is at hand when clothes may
be produced without weaving of fab
RIGS. Production of rayon staple fiber
has increased from 1600 900 pounds 10
years ago to more than 10000, ,0oo
pounds last year, he said.
Mr.. Daniel pointed out that the
rising tide of new products is due to
the fact that more than four -hfths of
all the worlds inventions originate in
the United States each year.
Thanks to the chemist, many auto
mobile parts now are made from such
farm products as soy beans, milk,
goats hair and beeswax, Mr.. Daniel
said.

which stimulate plant growth make 1t
