Homemaking Tips by Anna K. Williams Suds And Cleaning Hud* don't clean The amount of »oap»ud* In the dish pan or wash tub has long been used a* a rough guide to indicate whether the water contained though soap for efficient washing, ’tut what ’ holds true for soap does not hold j I true for all detergents. To meet the popular demand for suds and the common idea that suds do the ( leaning manufacturers of detergents have had to make products which foam easily in water. Advertisements sometimes picture foamy suds to make the detergent appeal to buyers. Yet ' some of the sudsless solutions removed soil in dish washing better ' than (fibers wi’h abundant foam The cleaning ability of any detergent depends largely on two qualities: first, how well it dissolve* sofi and. second, on howmuch it aids water In getting the soiled article* wet so that the dirt can be carried away quickly and i thoroughly. Water alone cannot wet materials a* well as water I containing soap or other detergent*. Thu*, one test of a good, detergent is how much it increase* ; the "wetting power" of water. The value of any soap, detergent ' or other cleaning compound should be judged by how it cleans, not by : how it foam* or >ud*. Foam is an attractive and pleasant characteris- , sic. Indicating that some deteri gent is in the washing solution 1 But it Is not the guide to Its dean itfk effectiveness. Detergents are not *anitlzers but i simply soil removers and there- , fore cannot be counted on for I germicidal value Firm Fastenings To save clothing, mending, time I and temper, put on buttons and i other fastenings to stay If put on right in the first place, neither ordinary wear nor washing and ironing should loosen buttons, zipper. or snaps I To put on buttons so they won't ‘ budge, remember to use thread • strong enough for the weight of i the button: to use tape or other 1 reinforcement underneath if the fabric I* thin: and. perhaps most important, to arrange for a shank lof thread which gives room for I the buttonhole to slide under the I hutton without pull on the fabric. Whrn sewing on a button, lay a i pin or darning needle over the top I and new over It. Then withdraw , I the pin and wind thread around the shank underm a’k Fasten the thread on the wrong side of the garment, first with a buttonhole : ' stitch, then with a couple of over- - 11 and-over stitches. I To make snaps fast, use at least four or five stitches to each hole. i Butftm hole stitches hold snaps ' better than ordinary stitches. ! Button Zipper* hold best If they are stitched on by machine rather i than by hand. Stltche the lipper

i tape to the fold of goods, close to the hietal of the zipper, then trim off any extra fabric to the width of the tape and stitch so there will be no loose end* to cutch in the zlpprr. One of the n< west and most time-saving fasteners is the snap fast«n»r which I* hammered on rather than stitched. These fasteners now come in light and heavy weight, plain and in color. The I hammering gadget come* with them Snap fa«ten*r* should be used on firm fabric'and are best suited to sports ur work clothes.
