Why HOT WATER Easily DISSOLVE Substances

n lost housewives know that su.
wi gar will dissolve far more
quickly in hot water than in
cold, but very few know that salt
will dissolve In cold water just as
quickly as when the water is boiling.
In this, salt is somewhat of an excep.
ton, for most substances dissolve
much more easily when water is hot.
Heat is nothing more nor less than
an increase in the speed with which
the molecules are revolving.
AS dissolving a piece of sugar
means that the sugar enters into the
tiny spaces between the molecules

WIN WAR End the LUXURY Of the ORIENTAL RUG?

Illuminating article on oriental rugs.
Moreover. It will take several years
to reproduce materials which can be
used in rug making, principally wool
and dyes.
Immediately following the war, in
the very nature OF the case, the PEG.

their immediate needs, such as build.
ing homes, raising food-products, and
there will not be people enough left
to turn to the rug.making industry.

And to add to this, thousands of the
most beautiful rugs are now rotting
away in the Persian gulf. Turkish
soldiers use them for bedding at the
front, or destroy them.
The whole rug section Of the ORR.
ent is one stuDendous chaos of which
people in America can scarcely form
a faint idea. The antique oriental
rugs made in homes are no more, for
the homes have been burned and do.

industry will be revived, but for the
