Sand in Your Kitchen is Uk — If it's Silicone

By James Flowers I NEA Slut Correspondent

NEW YORK —— iNEAi —- The iiext time you get sand in your. eyes or shoes. don't cuss. For this,

uppu-crust substance of Mother‘. Earth is the basic ingredient of a new chemical thats mak-

ing life easier and better for youl than days.

From the sand (‘OIHCI silicon! and from the silicon—mlxed with‘ coal and oil——comes the newcomer,‘ 'silii-cine."

Silii-ones are being used withi ii-markable success in 30 major areas producing industrial andl consumer items. For instant-e.i this versatile material is helping] in reduce vibration in automo-! h1i(‘fi and it is also being used‘ in (‘0|1lDi9L€i)' unrelated productsl ruih as skin i-reams. which have‘

worked wonders on things like diaper rash. Once regarded as ii post-war

ciiriositr, silicnnes are fast mov- iiig into a vast new iiidu.sirial and‘ consumer enii-use pattern. In iacl. the industry has expanded} 26 times in the past nine years, and forei-asts predict it will treble in the next five years alone. i . . .

Seieral lllajill’ coinpaiiies are P)i‘pP!llllPllllllg with silicone. Gen- ein‘. l-llccirii, 'or example, began :‘FS¢‘al'(‘h on organic compounds of‘ the material back in l932.

Why is all electric company in

spots can be eradicated by reg- ular dry cleaning or laundering. . . .

Even though it will cost. ap- proximately five or six cents to treat I garment with three yards of cloth, textile manufacturers are enthusiastic about the new pro- ceas.

Dr. Charles E. Reed, general manager of the silicone products department of G.E., puts it this way: “The textile manufacturers feel they can iiii.-.rei-ise heir sales by giving the consumers a super- ior garment. We estimate one out of every four persons will buy a‘ garment treated with silicone in 1954."

The glassware industry is reap- ing fine benefits from the use of silicone. Bottles treated with the chemical have shown a remark- ably lO\\ breakage percentage dur- ing packing and shipping.

The Brockway Glass C0,, pro- ducers of Ketchup bottles, baby food jars, fruit juice bottles and liquor and soil drink containers. recently reported a. drop from the normal 0.3 per cent breakage to 0.014 per cent alter a six-month test with slll('OnlZed bottles.

DQROTIIY DIX His Old Sweetheart

DEAR MISS DIX: Do men al- ways carry fond memories of for- mer sweetheatts? We have been married a bit over a year and have a two-month—old baby, yet Jerry still hasn't forgotten the girl who Jilted him several years ago. He is forever mentioning her name nit least once a weekt, talks about what they did together. and al- most breaks his iieok to say "hello" to her when they meet in town. She's married. too, and has four children_

Could he possibly love me, or is he still carrying a torch for her? I'm torn to pieces by this and, although I've asked him to stop talking about her, he still does. However, if I mention one of my former beaux, he gets very angry. If I happen to meet one and we pass a casual greeting, Jerry says l‘m flirting. How can I make him realize the seriousness of the sit- uation \\'lLh0ul. having him think I'm jealous?

D.W.

Q. When a woman, traveling alone, meets s man acquaintance on 0. train and he invites her to the dining car. what does she do about the bill?

A. She may assume that he wishes to be host, and that he will be offended if she refuses to allow him to pay. However, women who travel alone must be careful about accepting favors from men. It is better to ask the waiter to bring separate bills. If a woman does ac- cept. an invitation from a man, it should be for one.meal only.

Q. Is it ever proper for a host- ess at dinner to calliattentlon to the fact. that one of her guests is eating very little?

A. No; it may be that the guest would be better to say nothing unless Ilie guest mentions it.
