blossoming of new musical forms.

pairing the present-day interest
in the personality of performers
and composers with the concen-
tration of the music itself in those
early days, he nevertheless de-
voted a part of his talk to what

These included Machaut, Dufay.

played as Illustration of his suc-
cess in settling the issue before
the Council of Trent regarding

Tests Of Burning Sweaters
Lay Danger 10 Fuzziness

The National Bureau Of Stand
ards reported today that inflam-
|mable sweaters are manufactured
from ordinary rayon made dam
|gerous because the fiber is brushed
into u fluffy nap.
Bureau scientists tested the So
called exploding sweaters at the
request Of District Fire Marshal
Raymond c. Roberts. A number
|of District residents have bought
the two-toned sweaters from ped
oilers. ~ -
Tests at the Bureau Of Stand
ards showed that q flame will
move over the sweaters about S
inches per second. Bureau on
|cials blamed this on the nap that
lis intended to make the sweaters
look like wool.
Fluffy wool viii not burn rapid
|ly, but brushed-up cotton or rayon
will. For this reason, cotton or
|rayon fiber usually is woven into
stick finished goods. Bureau
scientists speculated that the
|rayon fiber used in the sweaters
was made by o reputable manu-

into q fuzzy material by some one
who did not hesitate to put a
