Light Iron
Proves Good
An iron doesn’t need to be
heavy to be efficient. In fact
more women are choosing 2% to
4-pound irons rathej than 6 to
7-pound irons.
Doris L. Snook, extension
home management specialist of
the Pennsylvania State Univer
sity, says “success in ironing
depends on proper heat of iron
and correct moisture in the
(fabric. It doesn’t depend on
added pressure from thejron/’
Lightweight irons have higher
wattage than heavy irons. This
enables the iron to,, heat quickly
and maintain a steady tempera
ture.
Always Check Size
When Baying Shoes
Have' your feet - measured
each time you buy shoes, ad
vises Bernice J. Tharp, exten
sion clothing specialist of the
Pennsylvania State University-
Sizes of shoes vary with dif
ferent makes. Children’s feet
are still growing; adults often
find their feet change. Your
feet also may be' a different size
when you stand The change
mav be in 'length or width or in
both.
SLOW DRYING
Nylon sweaters take three
times as long to dry as wool be
cause moisture doesn’t escape
easily. Mae B. Barton, Penn
State extension clothing specia
list. says rapid circulation of air
with a fan helps nylon sweaters
dry faster.
