GLASS FIBER FOUND

Experiment to Solve Allergies
Shows Pressing of Strands

NEW YORK-Soft glass makes q
slightly hard pillow.
The pillow material Is the new glass
fiber. Strands of this glass are finer
than any hair, finer than anything in
nature except eiderdown. The glass
flbers are about equal to eiderdown.
But the Allergia Products Co. Of
Newton. Mass, found the fine glass
unsuited for pillows. 1t has, they re-
ported at the American College OF
Physicians meeting here. q hard"
feel when the head presses its strands
together.
This is surprising, in view of the
fact that the fiber glass is so elastic
that after being compressed to half its
ordinary volume. 1t springs back to
original shape without outside aid.
Glass pillows we're tried in the hope
that they would be the perfect anwser
for the person who is allergic to the
contents of pillow. Some persons
get skin rashes or even hay fever from
the ordinary stuf1ings of pillows.
The "allergies" are due to chemical
reaction. Glass is presumably free
from this possibility. The Newton
concern reported that its best success
is with pure silk fluff for filing pillows.
The silk retains its softness and elas-
ticity under repeated dressings.
