SILKS NEEDED
BY ARMY FOR
POWDER BAGS
Emphasizing that the salvage
of nylon and silk hosiery is a
continuous program for the dura
tion of the war, Winnixred K
Glllen, home demonstration
agent, today asked all residents
of this area to renew their de
posits of worn and discarded
stockings with retail stores hav
ing women', or misses' hosiery
departments.
Silk and nylon are needed for
the production of powder bags,
parachute fabric and other war
materials, Mrs. Gillen explained.
Powder bags used by the armed
services are woven silk bags into
which charges of powder are
placed for generating the power
required to expel shells from
guns of major calibre. Bags are
placed in the breach of the gun.
A fuse, attached, is ignited to
cause the explosion that expels
the shell. Only silk can be used
for bags because it burns com'
pletely and leaves no hot embers.
This makes possible recharging
guns with greater speed than if
each gun had to be cleaned be
fore a new charge was inserted.
Nylon cannot be used for pow
der bags because nylon results in
a gummy substance that will not
burn completely. Instead nylon
is used in the manufacture of
parachute fabric.
The following classifications of
stockings are wanted: all silk, all
nylon, mixture of silk and ny
lon, mixture of silk and rayon,
mixture of nylon and rayon, mix
ture of silk and cotton and mix
ture of nylon and cotton. .
