Discreet
Jewelry
Said 'Out'
By Gay Pauley
WORK SMARTER
NOT HARDER

NEW YORK (UPI) - Dia
monds or their simulated cous
ins, rhinestoncs, have become
a girl's best fashion friend for
daytime.
The glitter that once was con
fined to evening now goes
around the clock, fashionably,
as the "little nothing" jewelry
is on the wane, reports the
fdshion coordination institute.
The institute's fashion direc
tor, Charlotte Thompson, said
today that the 19J0's marked
"the last great rhinestone peak
and since then jewelry featur
inH simulated diamonds, rubies
and emeralds has been in a
mild eclipse."
' "But this season marks its
renaissance . . . from dawn to
dusk." she said.
: "I don't mean that women
will be wearing rhinestone
bracelets and chandelier car
rings with knits," said Mrs.
Thompson. "They'll have to ex
ercise taste. Yes. rhinestone arc
for tweeds too."
Pcnrls Not Enough
"The discreet, little nothing
In jewelry is dying," said the
woman whose organization is a
spokesman for the real and cos
tume jewelry trades.
"No longer can a woman set
tle for a single strand of pearls
as her jewelry 'costume', " she
said.
: Mrs. Thompson said there arc
two major reasons for the glit
ter revival.
'. Socialites shown at numerous
formal events wearing" ihc real
thing, inspiring the woman who
does not own diamonds, rubies
or emeralds at least to do their
dazzling with the simulated.
And, the new clothes demand
more dramatic jewelry.
She mentioned the over
whelming swing to texture in
fabrics nubby woolens, puffy
silks on which small jewelry
is "lost."
Pins for fall and winter, and
on into spring, have more di
mension. They're "globbier," as
Mrs. Thompson said. For day
time, rhinestones arc combined
with chunks of amber or gold
for both pins and earrings. For
evening, the rhinestones star
alone or are combined with
pearls and fake emeralds and
rubies.
The Paris fashion salon of
Christian Dior helped the dra
matic rhinestone pin along
when he plunged necklines to
new lows in his last season's
collection. Necklines ha.e been
baring the bosom in numerous
other collections since and a
cluster of jewels has become
standard part of the dccol
letage. Another trend is in at home
jewelry to go with the plethora
of at home clothes. Here, she
said, a woman can go to ex
tremes in jewelry, wearing off
beat shapes and giant sizes she
would not dare elsewhere.
Use Cuff Links
The numerous French-cuffed
shirts forming part of costumes
have started a fad for stone-set
cuff links.
Also catching on, Mrs.
Thompson said, arc jeweiied
buttons for late day and eve
ning clothes. Part of the credit
for this trend must go to the
New York designer, Fernando
Sarmi, who six months ago
showed diamonds from Tiffa
ny's as buttons for late day
and evening clothes.
In necklaces, there is a vari-
Use of disinfectants in laund
ering was discussed in this col
umn several months ago. More
new information has just been
received.
Researchers at the U. S. De
partment of agriculture labora
tory have continued their tests
and have passed along these re
sults. Textile bacteriologists studied
the laundry of a number of
families and found bacteria
which cause skin, ear end res
piratory infections in many
cases. These bacteria were not
killed by hot water and deter
gent. They found that liquid chlor
ine bleach or pine oil disinfec
tant would greatly reduce the
bacterial count in the wash and
rinse water.
If you have sickness in the
family or use a self - service
laundry, it's a good idea to use
bleach if the fabrics will take
it or some other disinfectant.
No wonder schools are bulg
ing! Did you know that over
half of the people between 5
and 34 years of age are enrolled
in school? Millions more arc
being taught where they work.
Classes arc also held by sisme
labor unions.

cording to R. 0. Sinnhuber,
Oregon State University food
scientist.
Sinnhuber and A. V. Ander
son, microbiologist, arc direct
ing new OSU research on the
effect of radiation-pasteurization
on fool spoilage organisms
in seafoods, under a S28,UU0
contract with the Atomic
Energy Commission.
In radiation - pasteurization,
fairly low dosages of gamma
rays are passed through food,
killing nearly all the bacteria.
No heat is involved in the pro
cess, and the food is in no way
radioactive.
Research workers want to

mcnt and also about those that
develop during storage.
In trie OSU tests, fresh dover

also analyzed for microbial ac-
tivity. In addition to o'her orga

OSU workers also will test
various food additives to learn
if some of these might be used
