Let Your Washer Do Double Duty
Here’s How to Use It for Dyeing
* . " J 1-1
If you’ve discovered how easy it is to dye bulky articles in your wash
ing machine, you’ll find these latest hints from the Tintcx Home Eco
nonucs Bureau 01 value in getting
even better results.
To determine amount of dye
r.ceded, weigh article while dry —
and better not use the washer for
items above 4 Vs lbs
Dis*olrr Dye in Qunrl Jar
Stick to all
fabric dyes be
cause so many
dresses, cur
tains, drapes,
slip covers and
other articles
come in man
made fibers or
mixtures of natural and synthetic
fibers.
You’ll need two boxes of 15? all
fabric dye for articles of 12 ounces
or less of light-colored cottons, lin
en, silk and viscose rayon — with
twice the amount for dark colors.
Articles made of nylon and acetate
rayon need a little extra dye for
lighter colors and up to three times
the amount on the very darkest
colors. If you’re dyeing any fabric
black,use six 15<* boxes for weights
of 12 ounces or less. Weights above
12 ounces, of course, require pro
portionately more dye.
Ijpt Machine Run Through Regular
ff ash Cycle and Set to Last Rinse
Always wash
and rinse arti
cles thoroughly
before dyeing.
Better use col
or remover first
if you’re chang
ing a dark-col
ored article to
a lighter shade
or an article in
any color to a different hue, or if
the article is unevenly faded,
stained or spotted. Use a separate
vessel for the color remover, since
the washer requires so much water
that it weakens the action of the
remover.
Employ the hottest water avail
able in your machine. It will pay
you to pre-heat the machine by op
erating it for a few minutes and
then draining the water.
When Washer is Filled with
W ater — Four Dye into It
Dissolve the
dye in a quart
jar or pitcher
of very hot
water, using a
wooden stick
or spoon to
stir. If your
washer is auto
matic, pour the
solution into
the machine after enough water
has come in to completely cover
the article. Then run the machine
through the regular washing cycle
(longer, if possible) and set to the
last rinse. After machine has com
pleted the rinse, either spin-dry
or remove article and squeeze out
water gently. Procedure for the
wringer-type machine is the same,
except that you’ll have to stop the
machine from time to time to see
if article has been dyed to desired
depth.
Rentotp Article and Gently
Squeeze Out Excess Water
By no means
should you
wring dyed arti
cle either manu
ally or in the ma
chine. Just
squeeze out ex
cess w,ater gen
tly and hang ar- ,
tide indoors or
m shade outdoors.
Clean washer, after dyeing, by
filling it with clean hot water and
running it on the last rinse for
automatic washers or a short time
for wringer machines, using a
small amount of soap in both cases.
Woolens should not be dyed in
the washer because the action may
“mat” the fibers. The washer is
perfect, on the other hand, for
Whitex, the whitening preparation
for yellowed white nylons, silks,
rayons, linens, woolens and cottons.
A leaflet giving details on dyeing
in washers is available gratis at
all-fabric dye counters, advises the
Tintex bureau.
TO MUCH FLUORIDE
TOKYO, {/P) — Japan is one
country where they don’t have to
add fluoride to the water to stop
tooth decay.
The welfare ministry soys Ja
panese in 42 or Japan’s 46 perfec
tures are drinking water with too
much fluoride with the result that
many have mottled teeth.
Japanese scientists did not find
this out, however, until the gov
ernment actually began a project
in Kyoto Prefecture to odd fluo
ride to drinking water. Scientists
blame the fluoride condition of the
water on Japanese volcanoes.
Bees sometimes travel as far
as eight miles to reach flowers
with nectar.

Anchorage Plans
Another Sales Tax
Vote In 30 Days
Anchorage voters, still seething
over last week’s sales tax election,
are to be confronted with an iden
tical proposition within 30 days,
the city council decided last night.
The decision followed a dis
cussion of recent evidence of re
cent evidence of fraud, laxity
in following election rules and
procedure, and the fact that a
majority of voters favored the
measure. -
The school board is to be in
vited to present a similar propo
sition to the voters at the same
time.
The previous resolution provi
ded for a one percent levy on all
sales and services not exempt, to
raise $3,100,000 and $2,000,000
would go for street improvement,
$800,000 for municipal buildings,
and $300,000 for a civic center.
The school district levy pro
vided for a similar one percent
to raise $5,000,000 for school
buildings.
The city sales tax failed by nine
votes and the school tax by 141
votes of the 55 percent necessary
for passage, although both had
a majority of votes in favor.
