Buenos Aires, Oct. 0.(By Mail) (By United Press) The discovery is reported of extensive coal deposit's in the Argentine province of San Juan. The statement is made that it is nearly as good as the best quality of Welsh coal. Experts have not yet had a chance, however, to make a test as to quality or to determine the ex tent of the fields. Coal would prove of immense importance to Argen tina, which is prevented from be coming a great industrial country by lack of cheap fuel. Sees Rival of Cotton in "Cattail." Chicago, Oct. 28. (By United Press) The fuzzy brown "cattail" that grows in the marshes now looms on the horizon as a possible competitor of cotton, said Professor John Coulter, botanist of the University of Chicago today. Professor Coulter uses th scholarly name "typha," for the said tail." "The Germans have found a way to make an excellent cloth from the "typha," said Professor Coulter, "and I see no reason why we cannot do the same. The typha could be raisoH i. Lcommercial quantities far more cheap- Mum vuuon ana witn improved manufacturing facilities could be made into cloth at a price which would cut the high cost of living."
