Marjorie Eastman, Extension
Specialist in Clothing, M. S. c.,
presented the third lecture in the
home economics series this year
to the southern group leaders in
the County Agents Office on
Tuesday, February II and the
northern group leaders in st.
Paul's Episcopal Church, Romeo,
on Wednesday, February IL.
Her topic was Buying Yard
Goods" and the five materials
cotton, wool, silk, linen and ray
on were discussed at length. Miss
Eastman explained the advant-
ages Of knowing the fiber con-
tent Of materials 50 that differ
ences in wear, care, cost and SER
viceability can be considered.
Rayon, which used to be con-
sidered q substitute for silk, Is
now q material In its own right
and with the shortage of other
fabrics is fast becoming more
and more important. Rayon Is
now taking the place of silk and
wool and may possibly be SUBJ
stituted for nylon, providing IL
can be made elastic.
The process by which rayon is
manufactured was explained and
general characteristics listed.
Samples Of rayon woven to look
like linen and wool were shown,
and the different types of rayon
explained. % Viscose rayon,
which Is about 80 per cent Of the
material manufactured In this
county and (2) Cuprammon-
ium. which Is best known by the
trade name "Bemberg", are both
regenerated cellulose; and Ceilu-
lose Acetate, commonly tagged
"Celanese" and "Acete," which
Is very easily affected by heat of
washing or ironing.
The law which was passed
last summer with regard to tag
ging wool was explained. In
other words, instead of saying
100 per cent wool, an article
now has to be divided into the
three classifications-(1) Wool;
(2) Re-processed wool, which
has been spun but never worn;
and 90 Reused wool, which has
been worn and reduced back to
fibers and made up into wool
again.
Weaves, finishes, lengths Of
fibers and dyes were considered.
Labels were passed out to the
leaders and Il was shown that
some were very misleading.
