Discovery and development of a durable flame-retard ant chemical for cotton, end rayon, which does not change the appearance or feel of those materials, was announced recently by the Du Pont company. guests kins. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson Fletcher and son, Douglas, were supper guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ft Fletcher of Columbia Saturday. Visitors of Mrs. James O. Gas kin Wednesday afternoon were Bin. Clyburn Croxton, Mrs. Wal ter Young and Bln. The message quotes these law- yen as saying that A Sr P food stores "have regularly undersold competing retailers,” and con- tinued— ‘We plead guilty,” adding that for the past 90 yean, “wq have constantly stepped up the effic- ency of our operations in order to give our customers more and more good food for their money. 1 As for allegation that A St 1 ow prices prevent competitors tom doing business, the adver- isement pointed out that in the ast ten yean 275 rival food chains iave grown up and some 30,000 ndividual groceries have gone nto business. Moreover, while A lc P had 11.6% of the national ood market in 1933, it had only 6.4% in 1948, according to figures of the anti-trust lawyers them selves, said the advertisement If the A St P should be com pelled to quit not only will food prices go up, but “the way will be cleared for the destruction of every other efficient large scale distributor,” concluded the mes sage, asking “is this in the public interest.” * The treatment is durable to dry- cleaning, normal home laundering and weathering. Properly applied, the chemical has no effect on. the draping qualities, appearance, “feel” or strength of the ma terials. It is the combination of these factors which marks this new product as an improvement. It is expected that it will be used for fabrics in which durability of flame-resistance is desirable, but it probably will not affect the use of existing types of retardants for purposes in which durability is not a factor. The temporary rpes are considerably less expen ve and fully satisfactory for many uses. An inorganic chemical, it dif fers from other flame retardants in that, according Be the scien tific thedry, it reacts chemically with the cellulosic molecule of fibers, rather than merely coating the fiber surface. A solution of titanium and antimony salts, it locks into the molecular structure of the fabrics, changing them chemically but causing no change in physical properties, according to present theory. v it is these factors which ac count for its durability as well as the fact that it does not change eriraMe 'em couon ana rayon uoncs % biasing, quickly when ig- d, yet which would not change appearance or “feel.” This the appearance or other desh qualities of fabrics. It does not stiffen or weaken them, and adds only up to 15 per cent to the weight. Careful tests run by Du Pont’ medical division show that it has no irritating effect on the skin. For many years, Du Pont scient ists have been trying to discover a durable treatment which would prevent cotton and rayon fabrics from bU nited, yet the appearance new chemical, trademarked "Eri- fon” is the result of that re search. In a broad search for general technical knowfcadce. it was dis covered that certain inorganic salt solutions had a tendency to re tard flame in cotton and rayon fib ers. From that starting point, re search men began, trying to de- abfe flame-retardant years of effort, much of which appeared hope less, the scientists worked out thi present satisfactory solution. When cotton and rayon fabrics are properly treated with it, they will not support combustion and the flame retardance will last the life of the fabric despite frequent dry-cleaning or normal home laundering; and exposure to rain and son. Many types of cotton and rayon fabrics as wall as cotton yarn have been successfully treated on a commercial scale. Research is continuing in an effort to make the process satisfactorily ap- velop a durable flame-retardant for textiles. After resistance to flames will not wear out or wash out during the life of the article under normal home laundering conditions, although its effectiveness is weakened by processes frequently used by com mercial and industrial laundries. The process for applying “Erifon” is so exacting that it can be used only in textile finishing mills and cannot be applied in homes or by laundering and dry- cleaning establishments. “Know how” and some extra equipment is necessary for the application but the equipment is generally standard and readily available. “Erifon” flame retardant is priced at 25 cents a pound in liquid farm. Because of the cost of the treatment and the care re- ? iuired for vroper application, abrics treated with "Erifon” are likely to be offered at prices high er than untreated goods. Some commercial production of rayon and cotton materials treat ed with “Erifon" has started and other concerns are preparing for it now. Du Pont does not manu facture the textiles but sells the chemical to finishing mills and as sists them in working out their process problems.

Curtains, dress goods, sheeting, chenille and other ma terials are among those which have been successfully treated without changing their appear ance, “feel,” or strength. Dr. Seale Harris Will Speak At Sims’ Unveiling complete his research on the life of South Carolina’s world famous physician, the author spent months in Europe and discovered much material not known in the United States. Dr. Sims was born in Lancaster county and after becoming dis couraged at tfct outset of his medical career in his home com munity, went to Alabama, and be gan the series of experiments experiments is becoming Dr. Seale Harris, well known medical historian of Birmingham, Ala., will be the guest speaker when the monument honoring Dr. J.

Already noted for “Bant lug’s Miracle," his account of the life of the disvorerer of insulin. Dr. Harris has written a biography of Dr. Sims which, under the title, "The Woman’s Doctor," will which resulted in his the pioneer surgeon for women. He went from Biontgomery, Ala., to New York, and once more met discouragement and disbelief but convinced of his own rightness, or ganized a hospital for big special work. This Institution became the first Woman's Hospital in the world. After its success was as sured, the physician ' weht to Europe presumably * for a vaca tion but was immediately honored by the nobility in various coun tries, by prominent scientists, and by government acclaim. As s re sult, he spent much time there and was decorated by several gov ernments. In America his fame was tardily accepted and in South Carolina his Lancaster county birthplace was unknown for many years. Finally, in the 1930’s ar rangements began to take shape for that section to pay him the honor due his achievement The dedication of the monument on Oct. 13 will be the culmination of this plan which was interrupted by the war. Already the hospital there has been named the J. Marion Sims Hospital. Chief agent in perpetuating the memory of this famous doctor in Lancaster has been the Waxhaws chapter DAR, of which Blrs. A. B. Tennant is regent. The prin cipal feature of the occasion will be the dedication of the monu ment at the site of the Sims birthplace, near Neath Springs. Earlier, there will be a luncheon in the town of Lancaster for the principal guests, several of whom will be descendants of the not able physician. Earl Young.
