For example, tests made by the

(Outdoor Dried) Shirt looks en
viously at Mr. I.D. (Indoor Dried)
Shirt stepping merrily out the
laundry door.
One particular test made by the
Laundry Institute showed that
some color-fast percales of high
quality became so faded after twen
ty 20-minute exposures to sun dry
ing that it was almost impossible to
discern their original coloring or
desi-ns. Swatches from the same
original cloth, washed and dried
inside at the laundry, however, re
mained just as clear-toned and de-
fm.tely patterned as the original
cloth That’s one of the reasons
why professional laundries dry o'ur
things inside instead of letting Old
Sol get in his destructive work.
Then, too, clothing whipping
about on the line has a tendency to
become weakened where the clothes
pins are attached. All this is a-
voided in the professional laundry
w here articles are dried inside. In
side drying also protects clean
washing from becoming contami
nated again with gasoline fumes
and soot which may be present in
the air.
To prevent fading and weaken
ing materials by outdoor drying at
home, hang the washing early in
the morning so it can be taken
down before the mid-day period
or late in the afternoon. And never
hang out the washing in a strong
wind.

Prize war product of the loggers and lumbermen
of the DougLd fir and Sitka spruce is the Mosquito
Bomber of the Royal Air Force, according to the West
Coast Lumbermen’s Association. In his new book,
"The Air Offensive Against Germany,” Allan A. Michie
reports that a Mosquito made the 1500-mile trip be
tween England and Genoa in 35 hours—or an average
speed of 428 miles per hour. It was a flight of Mos
quitos that laid the first bombs of 1943 on Berlin.
This was a daylight raid on the 10th Nazi Anniversary.
It ran the orators of the day, Goering and Goebbels,

at its wing tips, as in a steep turn, condenses water
vapor, so that each tip may seem to be trailing a long
