It kept him busy through , many spare hours because it was "messy'. ' When the glue on a bottled ship model has dried, Preston corks the bottle.

Don't Overwash Says Homo Agent Quite out of date is the old- fashioned idea of soaking clothes for hours, bleaching by the bottle- ful . bluing without discretion, starching stiff as a board. It isn't done because it isn't necessary and more important because it is damaging to the garments, accord ing to Mary Cornwell, Home Dem onstration agent. Over-washing does not make clothes cleaner. Instead it tends to deposit soil after about 15 min utes' washing time. Over-washing clothes is really over-wearing clothes; It tends to shorten the life of the clothes just as an excessive number of washings would Tensile strength . is decreased with Over washing. It may cause fading or bleaching of colors and there is even the possibility of shrinking some fabrics. Clothes tend to lint more if they are washed too long and light lint will show up on dark colors or dark lint on light colors- Over-washing wastes time and consumes electricity needlessly. And to top the climax, not only does over-washing wear out your clothes before their time but it also adds to the wear on your washing machine. Over-night soaking Idea Is out moded, too. Twenty minutes soak ing time is all that is necessary for maximum soil removal. Long soaking in a bleach solution will, of course, weaken fibers. A very light hand in bleaching is always best, for bleaching weak ens fabrics.
