This Cloth Testing Machine is used in the Domestic Science Depart- - ment of one of the leading Universities.* With it, experts recently tested what soap flakes do to the strength of fabrics. That test means a lot to you—and to your clothes. s . The test is a simple one—but scientific and very accurate. FAB suds do not run colors that are fast in plain warm water, under the same conditions. The finish of fine ‘materlals is preserved. The experts cut a piece of nainsook into strips. They left one un- washed. The other strips they washed with different brands of soap flakes, according to the makers’ directions, and all under the same conditions of temperature, rinsing, etc. Then, one by one, all these samples were tested in the Cloth Testing Machine. The instrument, with an accurate and even pull on every thread, strained each square of cloth until it broke. The dial of the machine automatically registered the exact point of breaking. ¢ After this test on nainsook, they made others on silk and woolen, 1280 tests in all. Thix eharce may not come gein.
