WASHINGTON Feb. 14-Wom-
ems hosiery is a subject very close
to the hearts of the home front.
This item ran even with wash tubs
for ninth place on the list Of things
most commonly mentioned in re-
sponse to the question:: What are
some Of the shortages that have
bothered you most?"
This introductory question was
asked in 4935 households by census
investigators in the Consumer Re-
quirements Survey before asking
specific questions on lis items Sc
lected for scrutiny.
When specific questions were
asked about Women's rayon hose,
half the buyers were not satisfied
with what they bought. They re-
marked: mo good after one wash
ing" Wear out tco soon,' Don't
fit or Bag at the knees and
wrinkle at ankles"
Since many manufacturers and
some retail stores refuse to take
stockings back for any reason, it is
surprising that only half the buy
ers were dissatisfied.
BETTE, 1T PROMISED
Textile experts in the War Pro-
duction Beard say that an amaz-
ingly good job has been done IN
raycn stockings in view OF the dit
ficulties. improvements are under
, way in sizing, SO you may look for
ward TO better fitting ankles and
knees. But nothing can be done
for the people complaining about
the stockings not lasting. A new
spinning process has just been an
ncunced for industrial types OF
rayon yarn, TO make it strong
when wet. If this could be used on
stocking yarns to keep your foot
from going through a damp stock
ing, it would help, but that pos
sibility hasn't been mentioned yet.
