Today's winner is: Josephine McGahhey, Willard, Ohio KERRY DRAKE By Alfred Andriola By people usually mean a cleaning agent made from natural materials.

And by they usually mean one made of synthetic materials But actually a detergent is a substance that makes things clean, so a soap is one kind of detergent! All soaps have the same basic formula. They are made from animal or vegetable fats and a chemical called an alkali. Two well-known alkalies are caustic soda and lye. Synthetic detergents are pu together from many differen chemicals and the process is quite complicated. Among tin materials that go into deterg ents are petroleum, fats, a tar, and others.

The ingredien in the detergent that does th actual cleaning is called th surface-active agent, or surfac tant for short. The search that led to the de velopment of detergents was started because of a certain weakness that soap has. It does not make suds readily in hare water. This is because soap re acts with certain minerals in the hard water to form a material called soaps curds. These curds do not dissolve in water.

If you've ever seen a big ring around the bathtub, it was made of soap curds. In the 1930's synthetic detergents were developed. They make suds in any kind of water, hard or soft, hot or cold. And they don't produce the curds that leave that familiar "bathtub When it comes to cleaning, both soap and detergents work in the same way. Basically, it is a process that separates the water molecules and makes it easier for them to penetrate soiled material more easily.

At the same time, the soap molecules are attracted to the dirt, dig into it and soften the grease, fat or oil that holds the dirt, split up that dirt into tiny particles and surround them with a film of soap. The dirt is pulled away from the soiled material and then washed away. FUN TIME The Riddle Box 1. Why is a large coat like a banana skin? 2. When is a piece of wood like a queen? 3.
