Arguing that the world had seen

an adequate American navy and
warned against relying on internat-

The Californian asserted that, de-

The Post Offices of the United
States have agreed to use cotton
twine and Hits use, while small,
lend* hope that other governmental
agencies will adopt cotton. The
Denton office is not as yet using
the cotton twine, aa they still have
on hand some of the regulation
twine which hes heretofore been
puichased by the Postal Depart-
ment. Chester Scott, Denton Poet
Master, said. “We use in the
neighborhood of 300 pounds of
twine each year, and when the
present supply is exhausted we will
be supplied wine made from cot-
tun." Many other uses for cotton
could be found. There'* the oat
sack; there's the bran sack, there's
the cotton bagging, all of which
would demand many thousands of,
bales of low grade cotton. The Im-
perial Sugar Co. of Sugarland.
Texas, has for months advocated
the use of cotton sacks for their
product and products at other fac-
tories. They have used cotton sacks

plicatlon for a writ of habeas cor-
pus based on contentipn of Rodri-
guez and Munz that they had been
represented by en attorney who had
not been granted a license to prac-

The court held that since the de-
fendants had pleaded gutity to the
murder charges against them and
confessed their part in the slaying
the fact that the man who repre-
sented them in court had not been
admitted to the bar did not inter-
fere with justice in their ceses.

a tentative.step. Only after all re-
