Cotton Equals Wool
As Blanket Fabric,
u. S. Experts Find

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-How
warm is a blanket? The bureau OF
standards mas investigated this i'm,
portant, if homely, question, and
tonight announced the result.
First, as many have suspected,
closercss of weave rather than thick
ness controls blanket warmth. That
is especially true when blankets are
for use indoors. Putting it scien-
tifically, the bureau announcement
said that the greatest resistance 10
heat flow (by a blanket in still air
was given by a blanket having a
density Of 0.0S35 grams per cubic
centimeter." a heavy, thick blan-
ket isn't so warm, because, the
buerau said, heat escapes by CON
duction along the fibers,' while the
looser weaves in blankets lost much
heat through interstices.
Since the warmth Of blanket de-
ponds upon how much and how
long it can imprison and hold still
in it's texture the original air con-
tent, the bureau said that cotton and
wool both had advantages as textile
material for making blankets. Cot
ton with sheets, indoors, was likely
to be better it was said, and wool
outdoors, but mo significant differ
ence in heat resistance or resistance
to passage of air or moisture" was
found between the two materials.
