Washable Woolens Delight Eye and Pocketbook
BY EDNA MILES

IN this age of miracle fab
l. RIGS, women are beginning
to expect a truly remarkable
performance from nearly any
fashion they buy. In WOOL
ems, it's the washable woods
that are making fashion
news.
These new soap-and-water sam
forlan woolens will not shrink out
of their original fit and therefore,
need no blocking or stretching.
The wool will not mat or felt,
washes easier and faster, looks
softer and has a more "doWny"
feel after washing.
All of this means greater con-
venience and less work for the
lady of the house. 1t also means
a saving in dry cleaning bills and
this, of course, is reflected in the
budget.
Washable ,woolens are now done
in stripes, checks, plaids and in
both dark and pastel solid colors.
They're sold by the yard for, home
sewers or in ready-to-wear FASH
ions, many of the latter are ideally
suited to the active life of house,
wife.
One New York sportswear house
has done a whole group of jer-
seys in blouses and skirts that are
dressy but simple enough for home
washing. Blouses are coordinated
with accordion pleated, pleated.
or impressed pleated skirts.

BIG TIME TRACK STAR.
Nal Whitfield, the 50O-yard champ,

He lags behind during the first

for 500 yards, running it in 0:56.6,
and he so electrified the 12,500
people at Madison Square Garden
that they rose to their feet and
roared their approval. =. Speak

of the time E. R. Bradley had
three big winners in his stable.

By the Associoted Press

UPTON, N. Y, Aug. 1.-Mys-

hold the key to understanding
the atom and the universe, have
been created at the Brookhaven
National Laboratory.
Use of the laboratory's 2,300,-
000, ,000-volt cosmotron by four
scientists to produce the par
ticles is described in the current
issue of Physics Today.
The article said the event rep
resents a major step toward solv-
ing a riddle which was dis
covered in 1947 at the University
of Manchester in England.
The production at Brookhaven
was achieved by smashing neu-
irons from the cosmotron into
hydrogen atoms.
The article said the expert
ments formed the first conclu-
sively successful attempt to man.
