Know Fobric Focts
By Betty Miles

With dollar stretching a ma
tional pasttime these days, the
care and revitalizing Of clothes
have become musts among mon
Iey-saving rules.
In three articles preceding this,
we've given data on cleaning and
care as presented by the National
Institute of Cleaning and Dyeing.
in Silver Spring, whose laborato-
ries, training and information IA
Icilities serve its $500 plant-own-
ing members and the public. The
INICD would like to see customers
find out how ry-cleanable gar
Iment is before buying it, and to
know, too, what can be expected
from a quality cleaner.
Just as cleaning won't work
magic, so dyeing, although valu-
able in servicing garments that
have become unwearable, has its
limitations. Re-dyeing is the
proper term, of course, since the
fabric has been dyed once al
ready and there are problems in
volved In re-dyeing not present
when color is first used on fab
ric.
A properly re-dyed garment de-
pends largely upon the knowledge
of the counter girl at the dry
cleaner, and upon proper han
ding of the article prior to re-
Idyeing. An inexperienced counter
girl will very often accept gar
Iments which should not be re-
dyed or she might even select q
color not suitable for the gar
ment. The result is an unhappy
customer. To be taken into ac-
count are stripping, sunburn, belts,
buttons, sequins, trimmings, per-
spiration and other stains, shrink
age, and scorch. A garment must
be thoroughly inspected before
color selection is made.
In most cases, attempting to re-
dye a garment shade lighter
than its present one doesn't
work. Many of the original colors
cannot be removed in the stripping
bath. What's more, some mate
rials, especially woolen, become
weak with age, and very often dis
integrate in the stripping. BY
having the dress dyed a darker
color, the stripping bath is elimi-
mated entirely.
Sunlight is hard on materials.
Sunburn closely resembles scorch.
as matter of fact, and it's effect
must be treated in the same way.
Sunburn involves damage to the
fabric, and is not synonymous
with fading, which is color dam
age. Sunburn is the inevitable lot
of materials used as clothing,
and slip covers. One
great problem of cleaners and
dyers is that this chemical
degradation goes on for some time
in fabrics and may not be ap-
parent to the customer until the
processes of cleaning or dyeing

make it apparent. After long ex-
Iposure to the sun materials tend
to carbonize--thiS is especially
true across the shoulders and on
the collar and lapel of garments.
1t is sometimes hard to tell
whether the color has merely
faded out or if it is actually sun
burned. If the latter is the
case the affected areas will
turn out several shades darker
than the unaffected areas. To be
on the safe side, it is wise to
select darker color, such as navy
blue or black, for redyeing. If
you have your heart set on an
other color, accept navy or black
as your second choice, for the
first may not dye effectively.
Be prepared for the fact that
imitation leather and paper
backed belts are not usually able
to survive a dyeing process. Rub
berized belts would melt and spoil
an otherwise good job. Cloth belts
dye very we'll.
Plastic buttons do not live
through dye bath. Only pearl
or bone ones can be guaranteed
to survive it. The fabric in cloth
covered buttons and buckles is
frequently glued to the metal and
this glue is melted when dyeing
occurs. The metal will very often
be rusted through the material
after redyeing. too.

Stains play a part in effective

regenerated rayon. removing the

fume, medicine, nail polish re-
mover, hair lacquer, and so forth.
very often damage material to the
point where some dyestuffs will
resist these spotted areas entirely
and in other instances they will
take only black or a darker shade
of color. So your cleaner will
probably suggest only very dark
colors for material marred in this
manner.
Perspiration and under arm
deodorants have a tendency TO
damage materials so that only very
dark colors will prove successful
in redyeing.
You can expect unsanforized
cotton and linen to shrink in the
dyeing process. Most other ma
terials such as wool, regenerated
rayon, and acetate rayon may
shrink to some degree, but in most
cases can be easily restored to the
original size by use of modern
finishing equipment. You'll prob
ably find that your dyer won't give
you a guarantee, however.
AS new fabrics, such as nylon
and the even newer dacron and
dynel, come across the dyer's
counter in increasing numbers.
special dyes are developed by
chemical houses. Work to improve
dye for nylon is a constant thing.
For greatest effectiveness, special
dyes will have to be developed for
dacron and dynel, whose absorb
ency rate is very low.
If you've scorched garment,
black is the only suitable color
for redyeing. Garments that
have been let out in the seams or
may turn out to be
two-toned in color when redyed,
even if black is used.
The pattern in some printed
materials can be- removed by the
use of a digester prior to redyeing.
Redyeing, as a general rule, will
not cover prints, stripes or a floral
design, even when black or a dark
color is used. Many dyers suggest
these materials be dyed colors
other than black since many
prints have black in them and
when that color is used the dye
is built up on the garment and
tends to bronze instead Of turning
out a true black.
White wooden garments, fan
mel and similar fabrics are ac-
cepted only at the owners risk, as
very often they have been
bleached excessively in previous
trips to the cleaner and may dis
integrate during the dyeing proc
ess. Here again, black should
be a second choice, as most gar
ments of this type will also have
been Sunburned.
Plaids and checks are accepted
only after careful consideration.
Taffetas and sharkskins are US

ing.
A new color must blend with
the original color or overcome it

For Detroit Relief
Job, But Is on Spot
BY the Associoied Press

DETROIT, April 27.-Southpaw
Gene Bearden may answer a cry
ing problem for the Tigers-or he
may become just another fellow
who stopped briefly in Detroit.
The Tigers need a strong left
handed relief pitcher. And, ac-
cording to Manager Red Rolfe,
IBearden will be used mostly in
relief, starting only occasionally.
But 30-year-old Bearden, ex-
Ipected to be in uniform for to-
lmorrow's game against the White
Sox, must do a lot of proving if
he expects to stay here following
his purchase from Washington
yesterday.
Bearden, who helped pitch the
Indians to a pennant in 1948,
wasn't any help to the Mats. Nom
over, the Tigers already have vet
teran Earl Johnson as a left
handed reliefer and it's not likely
that Rolfe will keep both around
when the May deadline for cutting
the roster arrives.

Bucceroni, Wagner
In TV Bout Tonight
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 27.-Two Of
Irish Bobby Murphy's recent VIC
tlms-Danny Bucceroni and Dick
Wagner-clash in a consolation"
main event at st. Nicholas Arena
tonight.
Both Bucceroni and Wagner are
pretty good belters in their own
right and their 10 pm. bout prob
ably won't last the full 10 rounds.
CThe fight will be broadcast
over WMAL and telecast over
WNBW, Channel 4, in Wash

Lanky Danny, who stands Ga
and weighs about 172. had an 18-
fight win streak snapped by
Murphy in Madison Square Gar
den March Is. Murphy stopped
the 23-year-old Philadelphia light
heavy in five rounds on a TKO.
It was only his second loss in
80 pro fights. Wagner beat him
the other time in a six-round bout
in September, 194S.
Wagner, stocky. aggressive
l70-pounder from Toppenish,
Wash, lasted only one round with
Murphy last November. Since
then, however, Roughhouse Dick
has started the climb back.
In his last outing here he
knocked out previously undefeated
Jack Nelson in the sixth round at
the Garden. The 24-year-old
Wagner has a 26-13-4 record.
