Americanism Discussion

Legionnaire Talks to Harrison Chapter

By D DOUGLAS LARSEN

Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 America’s soap opera has become a detergent dirge. Before the war, the American. housewife bought a “strong” soap for the laundry, a “mild” soap for the bath and maybe flakes for the dishes. Today she's got to pick her cleaning agents from a bewildering array of many new kinds of soaps plus several hundreds of new household detergents, There are now more “mystery ingredients,” “magic chemicals” and “secret solutions” on today's soap counters than there used to be spots on grandfather’s vest. But there's actually not much mystery about any of them. According to the dictionary, a detergent is “any cleaning agent.” That definition includes soap. ‘Soap 1s a detergent. But in the soap Industry, and in general use recently, “detergent” and “synthetic detergent” terms commonly used

other than soap.

Do Same Jobs Soap and detergents do the same basic job. They have a chemical “affection” for oil, grease and dirt particles. They seek the dirt out, form a film around the grease droplets and oil particles and separate them from the fabric, skin or whatever surface is being cleaned. After being separated, the dirt and grease particles are rinsed away. ’ Soap is made by combining various kind of fatty substances — tallow, grease, lard, vegetable or coconut oil—with

Keep Ice Cream Hard

If ice cream does not keep hard enough in its original container to suit your taste, remove it from the carton and pack in ice trays. It should then be covered with heavy waxed paper to prevent its absorbing other food odors:

the principal one used. Soaps are good or inferior depending upon the purity of the fat used, upon the efficiency of the blending and upon the lathering qualities.

Soap's Handicaps One of the handicaps of ‘soap in competition with detergents is that it is relatively inflexible. It is strong or mild depending upon how much and what kind of alkali material, like lye, is used in its manufacture. Some other chemicals can be added to soap to “build” special cleansing properties into it, but this “building” of soaps is much more limited than the comparable “building” of detergents. An Agriculture Department report says that typical unbuilt soaps include Chiffon, Ivory,

Kirkman's Flakes and Lux. Built soaps are Duz, Oxydol, Rinso and Super Suds, to name a few. Examples of unbuilt household detergents are Breeze, Dreft, Swirl and Vel. Built detergents are represented by All, Fab, Spin, Surf and Tide. Detergents have more versatile cleaning abilities than soap. For instance, some of them not only have a strong “affection” for dirt and grease particles, but can change the property of water by reducing

“its surface tension and actually

making it “wetter.” It is a complicated chemical action but the effect is a more effective cleaning job.

Easy to Rinse There are other special advantages which particular detergents have over soap, because of their individual chemical structure. Some don’t leave a ring around the bathtub. Some are more easily rinsed out of clothes. Some don’t make suds—important in automatic washing machines, Listing the scientific names of all of the new detergents and trying to describe each one’s special chemical action is meaningless, except to the chemist. The point is that each one can do a special little clean-

Generally, there are only a very few basi¢ raw materials from which detergents are manufactured. The two most important are coconut oil and petroleum.
