Reg. $12.95 to $25 in jj I - W I Instructions Should Be Read on Washable Fabrics The word "washable" means much more today than it has in the past, according to Mrs. Lee Sheehan, extension home economist. There was a time when only sturdy household materials went into the regu lar wash, Mrs. Sheehan points out. Anything the least bit del icate was painstakingly hand washed. Today you don't have to mollycoddle piece after piece this way. New fibers and new Italians Launch Knickers United Press International Florence, Italy lliPl) - Italian fashion designers have decid ed they'd better leave the hemline of the Bikini where 11 is, and have gone out on an entirely different limb. They launched knickers and bell-bottom trousers for casual and lounge wear during the coming seasons. Baldini of St. Marghcrita Ligure on the Italian Riviera made Ihe knickers in silk plaids. The colors were blues and greens. They were true knicker style, closing with a single button just underneath the knee. They were worn with match ing shirts. The knickers cropped up again in the collection pre sented by Falconetto of Milan. He designed a pair of black velvet with a knitted over blouse in orange, pink, yel low and black horizontal stripes. Falconetto also made the bell-bottom trousers. These, in a pale pink printed with clust ers of green and gold flowers, were modeled by an excep tionally tall mannequin and managed to make them look quite different from those worn by American sailors. But the style was exactly the same. First reaction. Short girls should avoid them, One new trend apparent throughout the boutique and sportswear collection shown on the first of this cily's six fashion days was the use of overblouscs and sweaters al most as long as the three quarters coals of other sea sons. Shaped to the body but not clinging these tops some times extended two or three inches below the hipline. Most predominant colors were pink, orange, yellow and white. Varying tones of pink and orange often were used together In a combination which is fast becoming a sum mer tradition with Italian de signers. Knits were prevalent. They wero made in blouses, jackets. sheath drosses and full-length summer coats. There were many ribbon knits. Nucci made some p 1 a y clothes Turkish in mood bright blue or pink pullover shirts worn with a matching for squashed in the front. Burlap was used by Valdi leverc of Florence to make (ringed Bermuda shorts with a matching jerkln-lop. Do Simone of Naples show d one sarong, made in a white cotton splashed Willi black. He also designed some unusual dresses in white cot ton with large green, pink or blue checks. These were ade like old-time bakers' smocks and the models car ried oulsue briefcases in macthing materials. The ef fect was eye-catching. The Bikinis were brief but no briefer than last seaon's. They were shown with cover up shirts and skirts. ing a meeting last week at which Mrs. A. C. Lewis (right) a past president of the Phoenix Garden club, instructed in the drying and pressing of flowers. Pictured with Mrs. Lewis are Mrs. Dora Krouse (at left) vice president of the Applegate Valley club, and Mrs. Marcel LePiniec, who heads the move to display the native pressed flowers. finishes are making more and more items washable. With new washers and new suds the lion's share of these can be laundered in a washer. "Washability is no longer a question of will-it-or-won t-lt it's a question of method. One dress or blouse may go into the very hottest water with no fear of damage. Another of a different fabric or color may demand a much milder temperature. Some curtains take kindly to bleach-others with a different finish turn lemon yellow. "Obviously the mere word 'washable' on a label means very little unless it's bolstered with specific washing instruc tions." Remove Gray Look By a processing called "stripping" you can remove that grayed look that some limes happens to clothes, the home economist says. Old soap curd sometimes accumulates in clothes and causes a gray wash. Use warm water and one tablespoon of water soft- oner for each gallon of water. Agilate the clothes for 8 to 10 minutes and rinse as for a reg ular wash. This will help to restore your clothes to their original whiteness. Even if you do not have an automatic washer which re duces the speed of the agitator for more delicate fabrics, you can use it for your nylons. The secret? Invest in some knitted nylon bags that have heavy snap fasteners at the top. Let your nylon lingerie soak in these bags in your washer for 5 to 10 minutes Then set the agitator for a 3-minule cycle. The thorough rinsing action of the automatic washers does get soap suds out, which means your things will stay white longer. A soak in a sod ium perborate solution before washing will protect that whiteness also. Washable leather gloves will dry softer if rolled for a minute in a slightly moist ter ry towel after they have been washed.

Many oeople are surprised to find that p h a i m j ceutical houses as a matter of general practice produce many drugs which have an cxtfemcty small potential sale. Their real question in cases like this is the purely hu manitarian one of the need of the drug whcie cure or prevention is possible. It's inter eting to note that all drugs have to prove their worth, whether they be foT common or rarely heard of diseases. Only those which are proved' are carried on our shelves.

Social Events His and Her Haircuts Now Available in New York City By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York UPH Now, cou ples can get "his" and "her" haircuts. .Ti li A " '!rwm "1 nard, a hair- years, said the "h is" and "hers" aren't exact copies. It's just that the wives are- ' always "t"" happy with Gay Pauley what the neighborhood barber produces and ask Bernard to help their husbands to more becoming trims. Bernard said it all began with a couple of actress-customers, Patricia Medina and Kitty Carlisle. Miss Medina came to Beri nard when she finally decid ed to shorten her long should er bob. He cut her locks to ear lobe length and gave the whole hairdo a rounded look. Miss Medina promptly asked if he also would reslyle the haircut of her husband, actor Joseph Cotten, when he re turned frow the West Coast. "I'll give him a blunted, short on the sides trim," said Bernard. "He has a strong jaw. It should be played up." Miss Carlisle also got an ear lobe bob and tapped Ber nard on the possibilities of improving the haircut of hus band Moss Hart. "His haircut is perfect as is," said Bernard. "I just told him to bring out more of the silver." The hairdresser, born in Britain but now an American citizen, started his career as hairdresser and makeup artist in the theater in London and New York. He soon will take over as general director of salons for a leading cosmetics firm. Bernard said that his pres ent shop does not cater to the masculine trade but "when a wife asks me for help, I'll consult with her husband. After all. a man's hair should flatter his features just as a woman's should hers. This does not retract from his masculinity." The crew cut for instance is not for every male. Ber nard said it is most becoming to the man with a square face and small nose. A long lean face would call for hair a little longer and fuller at the sides than the standard cut. The man with a nn IfU f 1 i How is it you know you're taking no chances when you let a youngster take your shopping list? Isn't it for the same reason that you buy 70 of your family's food without actually seeing it? You know that A good brand is your best guarantee : . . and that the name on the label is your best buying guide. You have learned to count on good plump, round face needs a close, short trim, said Ber nard. ' "One of the best haircuts around today belongs to Presi rent Kennedy," said Bernard. "No, I have not trimmed his hair. But it is what we call a grown-in, crew cut . . . clipped like a hedge. The Ail-American look." Tryouts Announced Two plays are under consideration by Footlightcrs, Medford little theater group. They are "Born Yesterday" and "Glass Menagerie."

Glen Foster, new director for the group, urges all per sons interested in a role in whichever play is phosen, or in any phase of little theater work, to attend the tryouts.
