WASH AND WEAR

WASH AND WEAR
In this age of wash and wear
clothes, there are SO many new
terms in the textile vocabulary
that it's hard to keep up. Two
very confusing terms + wash
and wear and automatic wash
and wear
From a instability standpoint,
wash and wear" describes a
garment that can be washed
either by hand or machine, drip
dried and worn again with
touch-up ironing seldom needed.
Automatic wash and wear" is
a different story. In addition to
having properties of wash and
wear" a garment that is truly
wash and wear" can be machined
washed, tumble-dried at a tenn
perature of 140 to 100 degrees,
and come out unwrinkled, ready
to wear, in only half an hour
or so. 1t needs little if any touch
up ironing.
But before you give any of
your clothes this rigorous treat
ment, make sure they're definitely
automatic wash and wear.
Among garments which warrant
this description are those made
in fabrics with a large percentage
of handmade fibers. Also these
garments must be specially con-
structed, with buttons, thread and
zippers that can stand up to the
treatment as well as the fabric
itself.
SPINACH
Spinach is such a good source
of vitamins and minerals, it's a
shame to throw away leftovers.
Here are a few suggestions on
'reviving" it for the table.
Why not make a casserole?
Just combine with hard cooked
eggs, cover with cheese sauce,
sprinkle it with bits of crispy
bacon, and bake in a casserole.
Or perhaps you could serve it
with. melted butter and garnish
with wedges of lemon.
And, of course, you a always
make a puffy souffle.
If your family just won't eat
spinach, try some of these ideas
and see if they don't accept
spinach more willingly.

Practically all the water that
appears in public or private sup
plies has been exposed while
running over the ground surface,
or in streams, or while percolat-
ing through the soil. The growth
of population and the increasing
use of streams as carriers of was
ties have been detrimental to the
quality of water supplies, both
surface and sub-surface. The
possible evil results of such waters
to their users have been over
come by the development in late
years of the adequate means of
treatment which have been large
ly applied to public supplies. The
small supply, the shallow well, the
driven well, cistern, or spring
which furnishes water to the
rural home or TO the village homes
where no public supply is pro-
vided, however, have not shared
in the general Improvement.
Pure water is not found in ma
ture. AS rain condenses in the
atmosphere and falls toward the
earth, it absorbs dust and such
gases as carbon dioxide and
oxygen. After reaching the sur

tamination by organic matter. The
polluting matter may be exceed

excreta of man. The water which
seeps into the ground will be
filtered naturally as it is drawn
by gravity to the subsurface water
and may or may not receive suf-
ficient filtration to remove pollu-
ton. AS il percolates through the
deeper layer of soil or through
rock il may dissolve and carry

Sec. Payments

"If you T planning on retire
ment in the near future, you can
help the social security office
get your social security retire
ment checks started sooner if
you will let US know of your
plans" Glen A. Gardner, man
ager of the Billings district office
announced yesterday.
ITO assist in payment of bene-
fits with a minimum of delay, we
are encouraging everyone plan
ming retirement to contact us so
that we can inform them of the
various proofs and records need
ed to establish their claim. Action
taken to obtain necessary proofs
prior to actual retirement will
help a lot in reducing the time
required to complete the claim.
Proof of earnings, proof of age,
proof of marriage and other types
of proof often cause delay. OBJ
tanning the necessary evidence
prior to retirement insures prompt
completion of the claim for retire
ment," Gardner explained.
I'VE are also encouraging every
one who plans on filing a claim
when they reach retirement age
(62 for women and IS for men)
to file their claim ahead of time.
We can accept a claim as much
as three months before retire
ment age. This advance filing
helps us to process the claim
promptly and make it possible
to mail the first benefit check
to the claimant as early as the
third day following the first
month Of entitlement," Gardner
continued.

Ex-CIinic Head
In Prince Georges
Is Electrocuted

A psychiatrist who once
headed the Prince Georges
County Mental Health Clinic
was electrocuted accidentally
last night in Rochester. MINI.
He was DR.. Robert L. Fau-
cett, 43, a member of the
Mayo Clinic staff in Rochester
since 1858,
For two years before that DR..
Faucet had served as full-time
director of the Prince Georges
County Mental Health Clinic,
then located at the University
of Maryland campus in COL
lege Park.
The clinics was renamed in
1854 as the Mental Health
Study Center, a field station Of
the National Institute of Men
tai Health in Bethesda. 1t is
located now at. 1000 Lebanon
street, Langley Park, and works
closely with the Prince Georges
County Health Department.
The Associated Press re-
ported that DR.. Faucet was
electrocuted when an electric
drill he was using on a fence
short-circuited.
DR.. Faucet, who lived in Be-
thesda while working here, was
considered an authority on
psychiatric aspects of narcotics
addiction and alcoholism. He
formerly was on the staff Of
the Federal Narcotics Hospital
at Lexington. KY. and was a
commissioned officer in the
United States Public Health
Service.
He served as director of the
Prince Georges clinic from
April, 1851, to June. 1858.
He leaves his wife, a son and
a daughter. Funeral services
will be held in the Minnesota
community tomorrow.

school and college. Here they
will find themselves with long
hours between classes and no
one bounding them to study.
They'll find that their teachers
aren't always available and
appointments must be made
for discussions with them.
I'VE want to instill the idea
that college is an eight-hour-a-
day job in which they will have
to discipline themselves in
budgeting their time"
The university will provide
counseling service based on
tests which were given to APP
plicants at their various high
schools last spring. Ratings
are given on the basis of apti-
tude, knowledge of subject mat
ter and reading speed and I'M
derstanding.
Students are rated numer-
ically. and during this intro
duction to college life are pro-
vided with a profile of their
ratings-what to expect. what
to emphasize, where the weak
nesses may exist.
When school opens Septem-
Der IA, there will be a tradi-
tional orientation week for
freshmen which will go on as in
other years.

Uneurth Shell
Of'6l Make

Workmen on Washington's
Southwest Freeway are keeping
a sharp eye out for Civil War
relics-but not necessarily for
historical reasons.
Yesterday an excavating ma
chine working on the project
near Virginia avenue between
Second and Half streets S.W.
uncovered one after running
over it.
It was an artillery shell
which Army ordnance experts
think may still be capable OF
exploding
AS Mike Klosky Of 1915
Fifty-first avenue, College Park,
an engineer on the job. put it:
THE Army tells us these
things come in lunches"
Puzzles Operator
A machine operator was
leveling of land under an ele-
waited portion Of The highway
when he unearthed the shell.
A laborer, Robert Bull"
Jenefer of Brandywine, Md,
who didn't know what it was,
carried it to the nearby Offices
of Humphreys Harding Con-
struction Engineers. builders of
the highway section.
Police were summoned and
they turned the shell over to
Army Ordnance, which said:
The shell was a Hotchkiss
9-pounder, one of several artil-
lery projectileS used during the
Civil War. 1t was a 3-inch
shell. about Ga inches long,
with an impact type fuse.
Served Both Sides
The shells were made in the
New York factory of Benjamin
Berkeley. a Connecticut hard
ware manufacturer who per-
fected the artillery projectiles
Just prior to the outbreak of
the Civil War. Before then,
ball ammunition was used in
cannon.
The Hotchkiss shells were
used by both North and South.
AS one Civil War history
describes it: 1T was the Hotch-
kiss shell that made the in
fernal noise which caused the
bravest to duck his head"
Army ordnance experts ex-
2ect to destroy the Hotchkiss
shell today with a demolition
charge.
