"Textile researchers are having a difficult time developing a 'flame-retardant finish to please everyone," says Miss Sohn. Manufacturers must consider government standards and consumer acceptability. In addition, they must solve the problem of laundering a finish-treated garment while retaining its flammability properties.

Government standards require that a fjame-retardant finish remain effective after 50 washings.

An acutely infected eye should be patched. "Not so the patch increases the temperature of the eye, creating a better media for bacteria 1 growth says Pfeifer. "The patch also decreases the flow of the tears which act as a mechanical washing of the eye and decreases the anti-' bacteriostatic effect of certain products which are present in the tears themselves.

Eye cups are a safe and sound way to irrigate the eye. Watch out, says Pfeifer. "The danger of eye cups, due to their not being sterile, far outweighs their usefulness in the ordinary treatment and comfort of the eyeball. Your eyes are fine if you have 20-20 vision.

Easy-care clothing will save you time and your budget will benefit from the mix-ability The new fake furs on the market today are as soft as real fur, as durable as corduroy and as light weight as soft wool. This fall you can expect to see fake fur used for collars, cuffs and hem bandings on ail kinds of coats from sport-coat length to maxi. Fake fur will also be used in a combination with vinyls and leathers. Fight fire before it starts by removing possible sources of fire in the home and by selecting safe clothing and home furnishings, says Marjorie Sohn, University of Illinois Extension clothing specialist. You will eliminate many sources of home fires by stor-i flammable liquids properly, removing matches and lighters from your child's reach, using care when smoking, and wearing when near a stove, heater or open fire.

Garment safety depends upon the fiber content, fabric, weave and clothing design. Although the establishment of standards can help control the problem of combustibility to some extent, it can never completely eliminate burn injuries. But by doing your part as a wise consumer, you can help reduce the number of burning accidents, says Miss Sohn. Dirt particles can cut and wear out thet tiny fibers in your garments'.

Pfeifer also points that reading does not cause myopia (nearsightedness), and says the eye is able to adapt to the intensity of dim lights. Other misconceptions Pfeifer puts to rest are: The eye is removed from the socket in many operations on the eyeball.

WE'LL BE ABCing YOU SOON Watch For Our Grand Opening 12 Fallacies I be used with the new finishes? Manufacturers have found that present flame-retardant finishes on cotton are destroyed by chlorine bleach. The finishes are also destroyed at a faster rate when treated garments are laundered with carbonate detergents rather than phosphate detergents. Mice CiVift rarmrta that manv cities suffering from water pollution, Chicago for example, have banned the sale of phosphate detergents. So the researchers are continuing tests to find answers to the problem. Miss Sohn reminds consumers that a new law requires that all garments carry a permanent label that gives recommended care instructions.

Be sure to check the label before you launder new garments. Even if the clothes you are wearing do not catch fire, you may receive severe burns if the fabric shrinks when subjected to intense heat When a garment shrinks due to heat, it is pulled tighter over a person's skin. This situation in turn eliminates or significantly reduces the insulating layer of air between skin and fabric. These- i a n. i il.

"Are you one of those people who call me on the telephone or write to complain that my Trooper stopped you and handed you a ticket for no reason at all? You break my heart You tell me you're a good citizen and a safe driver and a dumb cop gave you a ticket for going a little faster than the law allows. Well, I hope the next time you get caught breaking the speed limit he gives you another ticket and the traffic judge takes your license away. I pray that he nails you before you crash into a concrete abutment and he has to pull your lifeless body out of a demolished speed machine. "I wish you could spend a few days with me and watch a teenager writhe in agony on the gravel near a highway while he waits for an ambulance that will come too late to take him to a hospital, so instead, he goes straight to the morgue. I wish I could make you help scrape the bits of bone, and flesh of a whole family off the asphalt into, baskets.

You'd vomit just as we. have done. But' you'd think a little differently the next time you climbed into that car of yours and opened it up on a stretch of highway to see what it could do. So you got a ticket? Mister, you break my heart." Dear Ann Landers: Recently you printed a letter from a man who wanted to know how to make the transition from friendship to romance: He said he had known the girl for four years it had started out as a brother-sister relationship and suddenly he found himself looking at her with different eyes. Yon said, heart never won fair mind or treat the fabric properly and QV' UaM AM some- helpful UUC CUV hints: For fresh stains in a garment, first rinse or sponge the stained area with warm water.

Then apply a weak solution of ammonia water (one-fourth cup ammonia and two and one-half cups water) to the stain. Rinse and launder the garment -r Older stains turn from acid "to alkaline. For such stains, rinse first with warm water. Apply lemon juice or white vinegar followed by another clear water rinse; then launder. Perspiration may change the color of fabrics.

Then you added, "Don't be surprised if she says she already does." Now, Ann Landers, how would you have answered that letter if the writer had been a woman instead of a man? There Now Dear There: The same way.

Dear Ann Landers: I must take exception to the answer you. gave to the girl who wanted to know why she spent the better part of every evening fighting for her honor. She said her last date argued with her about the importance of virginity until 2:30 a.m. and she had a terrible time getting out of his apartment. You asked her what she was doing in a guy's apartment until 2:30 am.

anyway? Ann, it's apparent that it's been a long time since you played the Dating Game. Gone are the gentle seducers of yesteryear. Now the attitude is, "Hey, Babe, hot pants are in, virginity is out Let's get on with it" I'd like to pass along my counter-philosophy. It goes like this: "Look, Buster, this is my body and I'm going to decide who gets his bands on it and when. If you are one of the lucky few, 111 let you know." This approach saves a lot of time and energy.
