NeWSoap
ForArny

A new type Of "soapless
soap which makes water
"wetter' is now used for
laundering clothes by Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors on
fighting fronts all over the
world.
WaShday in the Army and
Navy Is vastly different from
the customary domestic Mon
day washday.
Clothing has to be launder-
ed at odd places and ut odd
moments. Sailors depend
wholly on salt water for wash
ing clothes. Army mobile
laundry units servicing men
at the fighting fronts must
depend on whatever type of
water is available.
Most soaps do not 'suds up" in
salt or hard water. Combining
with dissolved minerals in this
water they form greasy curds
which leave rings around bath
tubs or CRIME in Numbered clothes.
Faced with the problem not only
OF keeping clothes clean but also
OF minimizing effects of disease
carrying germs. the specifications
branch of the War Production
Board conservation division and
the chemical industry, working
with the Army and the Navy, de-
veloped the "soapless soap"
For hundreds of years ordinary
soaps of the household variety
have been made by treating fats
and oils with an alkah. After
Pearl Harbor the normal supply
of vegetable oils available for use
in the production Of hard water
soaps was cut off. The problem,
therefore, was not alone to find
a more versatile soap, but to COM
pensate for the reduced supply of
raw materials.
The new type of "soapless soap"
is made with a base of petroleum
or coal tar. Known in technical
terms as a synthetic detergent"
this "soapless soap" combines with
whatever water is available to
form penetrating solution which
rapidly and thoroughly reaches all
fibers in the garments which are
being Numbered. This ''wetting"
action results in the removal of
all greasy particles in clothing
without the formation of any in
soluble curds.
The longer wooden material re-
mains in water the more it will
shrink. The new soapless soap
acts more quickly than other soaps,
and consequently when synthetic
detergents are used for washing
woolens, there is less shrinking.
The chemists of the Army
Quartermaster Corps, in coopera-
ton with industry. have recently |
developed a toilet soap which will |
do the job whether the water is
rain water, ocean water, hard or
soft, and the soap action is always
effective.
Like many other inventions and |
discoveries. these new "all-water"
soaps will not be available in
quantity for civilian use for the
duration of the war.

No doubt had it not been for the

a significant fact was that 81 900 900

Mr.. Mitchell explained that a
counselor service recently estab-

at the source thousands of griev-

slightly out of Washington, but the
difficulty has been to get competent
persons to become counselors. He
emphasized that we do not consider
this a 'frill,' but a very important
appeasing and morale-building serv-
ice which increases production
ability"
Mr. Mitchell suggested to the

OF inquiry would be that of simpli-
flying and codifying personnel law

standardizing personnel data"
