GERMANY produced 160,000 tons of cellulose in 1938 and the capacity of the industry at the present time will insure 200,000 tons in 1939 according to the annual report issued to-day by the German Dye Trust, which, with an output of 55,000 tons is the largest cellulose producer in the world.

Zbw's Novel Type Of Programme
To-night at 8.03 p.m., Z.B.W. will conduct a novel type of programme entitled "That Music Reminds Me.”
The idea behind this programme is to show how familiar tunes remind isteners of romantic and sometimes ludicrous situations in the past.
Blusle unlocks the doors of the past on various episodes and famillar places. Although a tune may only be vaguely familiar to one listener, yet, to another it will bring back the romance of a first proposal, a coming-out dance or even a tragic event.
This evening, the announcer proposes to give a few examples of tunes which remind him of the part. Flo intends to request listeners to write to Z.B.W. proposing various tunes and stating why they remain in their memories. From these lettern, it is hoped to arrange A similar programine. Names will not be mentioned so that no one will know to whom they refer
