PRESERVING FABRICS
Hello Homemakers! Even though
we 'are assured that prices cannot
be higher than they were last Sep-
tember, we must remember that the
dollar will not go. as far as it did
before the war affected the Canad-
ian markets. So, wise and thrifty
homemakers are patching and
mendjng, to make their old clothes
`do.'
* * * *
That's why many of our readers
are asking about textiles. They want
to know the special characteristics
of the different materials so they
can care for them properly. Textiles
are of two main types: the artificial
fibre fabrics—nylon and the variotus
rayons; and the natural fibre fabrocs
—wool, silk, cotton and linen. The
subject is a lengthy one, o we will
only discuss artificial fibre fabrics
this week.
* * *
Nyon is made from coal, air and
water. Its fibres are strong, elastic,
resistant to wrinkling, lose very lit-
tle strength when wet, wash easily
and dry quickly.
* * * *
There are four chief types of
rayon, manufactured by different
processes: 1. Nitro or Chardonnet
rayons, such as Tubize; 2. Cupram-
monium rayons—Bemberg; 8. Visc-
ose rayons --:-Viscose; 4. Acetate ra-
yons --Celanese. They are all -made
from wood pulp or cotton linters, or
both. Their fibres are stronger than
wool but weaker than cotton. They
hold dyes well. White fabrics remain
white. However, rayons lose from
40-60%G, of their strength when wet.
Like all delicate materials synthetic
fabrics should be handled carefully
when washed. Do not rub or twist,
and do not pin to a clothesline.
* * * *
Washing Delicate Fabrics
1. Use lukewarm water as some
fibres melt at a high temperature.
2. Use plenty of water which has
had pure soap thoroughly dissolved
in it.
8. Squeeze suds through the mat-
erial; do not rub. Articles which are
'ditty will require a second suds.
4. Rinse thoroughly in warm wat-
er ,(not cold). Rinse in two waters
at least.
5. Because rayons stretch when
wet, they =at be wrung out care-
fully, with electric wringer released:
considerably,
6. Roll delicate articles in a turk-
ish towel and knead out moisture.
Then hang in a shady place --away
from excessive heat,
7. Iron on the wrong side with 'a
moderately hot iron. The electric
iron set at `rayon', or 300 degrees

TAI{1f,. A TWX':
1. To test for identification oi',
fabrics—burn a few ravellings, Vis-
cose and Bemberg rayons burn
with a flame, leaving only a small
amount of white ash. Celanese rayon
burns and drips like black sealing -
wax.
2. Celanese is dissolved 'by ace-
tone' and acetic acid—therefore, do
not spill nail polish remover or vin-
egar on it. •
3. Cleaners .eontaining chloro-
form or alcohol will dissolve Celan-
ese.
4. A. gloss;produeed by ironing on
the right side of the material cannot
be removed. Remember to iron on
the right side of the material cannot
be removed. Remember to iron on
the wrong side with a pressing
cloth.
5. Perspiration astringents are
harmful to silks and rayons but per-
sidration itself does not affect them.
6. Carbon monoxide '(tile exhaust
from cars), will ruin nylon hose.
7. Synthetic fibres hold stains
stubbornly. Stain removal method
may wear a hole in the fabric,

Tommy was not paying attention
to the lesson when teacher swooped
upon him. "What's the meaning of
this phrase, "The shark's hungry
maw?"
But the lad's ready wit came to
his aid. "It's starving mother," he
replied hopefully.
A. teacher sent this note to the
mother of an unruly pupil: "Dear
1VIrs. Jones: I regret very much to
inform you that your 5011, Robert,
idles away his time, is disobedient,
quarrelsome and disturbs other stu-
dents who are trying to work, He
needs a good thrashing and I strong-
ly urge that you give him one."
This was the reply she received:
"Dear Miss Smith—Lich him your-
self, I ain't mad nt him."
