Traits of Man
Made Fibers
Told by Experts
By DOROTHY FLANDERS
United Pres. Correspondent
St. Louis HP) Home econo
mists asked the experts, "What
can the American housewife ex
pect of the newer synthetic
fabrics?"
The experts, gathered at the
national convention of the
American Home Economics As
sociation, formed a panel to
answer.
Bernard F. Bertland of the
Chemstrand Corp. said Acrilan
is designed for a specific use. He
said jersey of 100 per cent
Acrilan, and blankets and carpet
staple are easily washable and
quick drying. The fabric resists
shrinking, sagging and stretch
ing, he said. And because it is
a strong fiber, Acrilan will wear
longer.
Drapery fabric woven of
Fiberglas can be -washed and
re-hung with no ironing in a
matter of minutes, Richard Dea
con of Owens-Corning Fiberglas
Corp. said.
Two New Fabrics
The homemaker can sew Fi
berglas as easily as any other
material, he said, if she will use
a good quality fine cotton mer
cerized thread in her sewing
machine. She should use a long
er stitch with looser tension,
light pressure on the foot pedal,
and a sharp needle, he added.
Hugh Carolan of Carbide and
Carbon Chemicals Co. said
Dynel is strong, resilient, high
ly resistant to chemicals, and in
sect-proof. It resists shrinking
and stretching, he said. A man's
summer hat made of Dynel is
so porous that a newspaper can
be read through it. The hat
weighs less than three ounces,
he pointed out.
A spokesman for Celanese
Corp. of America, Dr. W. E.
Coughlin, described two new
fabrics, A r n e 1 and Fortisan.
Arnel may be ironed safely and
resists glazing, he said. It is
extremely resistant to wrin
kling and mussing, and pleats
permanent to laundering can be
produced.
Fortisan is used where high
strength combined with sheer-
ness and light weight are de
sired. Dr. Coughlin said. Thus,
Fortisan is widely used in drap
ery fabrics. But because it is
not a wrinkle-resistant fiber, it
has not gained use in the dress
trade.
Other Items
Other fabrics news from the
convention:
The wash and wear fabrics
are better now than they have
been in previous years, said Dr. ,
Dorothy Siegert Lyle of the Na-I
tional Institute of Drycleaning.
But the "do not wring" label
means just that, she warned.
Wringing will cause wrinkles.
Also, some of the new fabrics
will set with wrinkles if sub
jected to long hot periods in
home dryers.
Disposable wardrobes may be
on their way, she reported. Now
there are paper bathing suits
that can go into the water five
or six times. Men's shirts made
of paper will withstand five or
six washings.
Homemakers should be edu
cated on the care of new "mira
cle" fabrics, says Edward Artim,
assistant director of the J. C.
Penney Co., Inc. research labora
tory. He said, "Despite all the
modern easy-care garments avail
able, we still can't dispense with
brushing, airing, hanging, rest
ing, and proper cleaning."
Proper Cleaning and
Spraying Protect Rugs
Nincoln, Neb. iW Thorough
cleaning and proper spraying
will protect wool rugs and car
pets from clothes moth and car
pet beetle damage.
Magdaline Pfister, a Univer
sity of Nebraska home furnish
ings specialist, advised that fre
quent cleaning, removes the in
sects and their eggs and pre
vents items as lint and hair from
accumulating as extra food for
the pests.
Rotation of carpets and rugs
is advisable also.
Spraying the pieces every 12
to 18 months with a 5 per cent
DDT oil solution will offer add
ed protection.

Allowance for Teen
Agers Advised
By Home Economist
Davis, Calif. W Too few
teenagers are learning to handle
money wisely, says Dr. Marilyn
M. Dunsing, University of Cali
fornia home economist.
She said the teenager has a
right to a share of the family
income and sociologists recom
mend regular allowances.
Dr. Dunsing found in a recent
survey of some 700 California
4-H club members that less than
one-third of them received an
allowance.
She found that about two
thirds of the junior and high
school students surveyed receiv
ed money from irregular earn
ings. Most of it came from tasks
around the home.
She said a few teenagers re
ported getting a dole, a specific
amount irregularly given to be
spent for a certain thing.
Dr. Dunsing recommended a
combination of the three systems
an allowance for personal
needs, eventually covering all
the child's needs; supplemented
earnings; a dole, used at first for
needs not covered by the allow
ance, but later given only for
emergencies.
She said a teenage member of
a family has the responsibility of
sharing routine household tasks
with the rest of the family and
should not be paid for doing
them.
Vantities are being shown quite often as feature of new correlated
groupings. Shown here is an interesting arrangement of two chests and a
Tanit? base and desk combination. The clean simplicity of the pieces is
enhanced br the gleaming pewter of the drawer pulls. A delicate eurred
weep is seen In the front of the case pieces. The brown walnut, open-pore
finish of the collection simulates an old oil finish but has the body and
wearing qualities of modern finishes. (Grand Rapids Chair Co.)
Deviled Ham Dip
For Snack Time
New York API Here's an
easy-to-prepare snack to go with
summertime beverages.
Whip 1 pint of cottage cheese
with 1 3 to Vi cup of milk until
the mixture is smooth and of
medium thick consistency. Stir
in 1 tablespoon of grated onion
and 1 can (3 ounces) of deviled
ham.
Blend thoroughly and chill in
the refrigerator for 10 to 12
hours, to let the flavors blend.
The color of the shell of an
egg has nothing to do with its
food value, flavor or quantity.
Tasty Yams Recipe
Comes from South
Atlanta HP) Where else other
than from the deep south would
come such a simple and succul
ent dish as "Tasty Yams?" This
one is from "State Fair Cook
Book," compiled by Lois J. Hur
ley and Isaelle J. Groetzinger
from the secrets of southern
housewives.
This is how Mrs. Mallie Turn
er of Box 44, Pacolet, S. C,
fixes sweet potatoes:
"Boil 6 medium-sized sweet po
tatoes in salted water until tend
er. Drain and partially cool. Re
move skins and cut in thick
slices. Drain a large can of sliced
pineapple, saving the syrup. Ar
range the sliced potatotes and
pineapple in a buttered casserole
or baking dish. In a small sauce
pan, melt 1 tpsb. butter and
blend in.l tbsp. flour. Stir until
smooth. Add 1 cup pineapple
syrup and V cup brown sugar.
Cook until slightly thickened.
Pour over pineapple and pota
toes. Bake in hot oven (400 de
grees) for 20 minutes. These are
delicious with ham or pork.

Maciines Beguile Men
As Increasing Number
Take on Housework
Chicago (in More men are
doing the family wash than ever
before and, what's more, they
are volunteering for the chore.
A survey by an appliance
firm (Easy Laundry Appliances)
also indicates the men are even
"boasting about their prowess."
Behind the trend, the firm
said, was the attraction gadgets
have for men.
Wives aren't forcing husbands
to make the "washerwoman,"
the survey indicated. The men
folk are merely intrigued by
automatic washers, dryers and
combinations.
"Men love push button con
trol and the dial panels appeal
to them because they're so much
like the controls and dashboard
of their car," company president
Parker H. Ericksen said.
.vlen react at the washing ma
chine "just as they do in driv
ing masterful and delighted
with their sense of monarchy
and absolute control," he added.
There's also gloom on the hori
zon for men who regard them
selves as rugged individualists.
If other appliances became as
totally automatic as the home
laundry, men may well become
as prideful of their mastery of
the kitchen front as they are of
their ability on the highway, the
report said.
Question:
What ever became of wives?
PRETTY TABLE MANNERS
St. Louis HP) The good cook
usually sets a pretty table. Mem
bers of the American Home Eco
nomics association at their re
cent convention said the "dress
up" table touch is good training
for youngsters. They quote the
axiom, families who eat nicely
at home do the same when din
ing out.
TOMATO TREAT
New York (IP) Now that
fresh tomatoes are plentiful, you
will want to try this idea for
scalloped tomatoes. Sprinkle al
ternate layers of soft bread
crumbs and ripe tomato slices
with chopped onion, salt, dots of
butter or margarine, and a sprin
kling of brown sugar. Bake slow
ly in a moderate oven.
OREGON'S OFFER From
the Northwest timberland to
Long Beach, Calif, comes
Oregon's contribution to the
Miss Universe contest, Sonja
Landsem. Sonja makes a
pretty picture as she beams

Return to Family
Dining Is Urged
St. Louis (IP) The president
of the National Association of
Food Chains has called for a
return to family dining.
John A. Logan said the de
mand and complexity of present
day living find "too many fam
ilies eating dinner by shifts with
mother washing off to a FTA
meeting before father's com
muter train brings him home. In
the meantime, the children may
be off to scout meetings, base
ball games, the movies or to
baby sit for a neighbor."
Logan, in a talk before a group
of home economists meeting
here, said he was not deploring
"the extent to which families
are community and group-minded
today.
"But there is a possibility that
we can go so far in promoting
informal eating and quick food
preparation that the social sat
isfaction, the spiritual signifi
cance ... of 'breaking bread to
gether' may go by the way
side." The Alabama Extension Ser
vice says that to take the sticki
ness from newly-dried paint, just
wash it with cold water.

Shoe Fashion.
Foot comfort note ... one
shoe designer say. the larger
foot is the newest style. The size
six-B and up will be the style
ideal of shoe fashions for the
next 10 years, said designer
Josephi of Delman. "The fash
ionable woman with a naturally
small foot will try to conceal
it by wearing shoes with great
ly extended toes, -In large-patterned
materials and with built
up fronts." He said the tiny
foot is as out of place with 1957
clothes as the wasp waist, the!
bustle, and the rosebud mouth.
Colored Shoe.
The spectator shoe returns to
fashion for summer, and in
many variations. The classic
spectator is in brown or black
and white. But the Leather In
dustrie, of America reported
that new shades of beige, such
as flax, nougat, and sandbark,
are being combined with white.
Other combinations include rose
yellow, mauve and gray.
Green.
If greens or salad vegetables
show any sign of dryness, wash
or sprinkle them before storing
in the refrigerator.
