(AP Wirephoto) Chemists Offer Spotless Life With Spray-Or-Stain Repeller Let us spray, may well be- come the watchword with the in- troduction of the latest in do-it- yourself activity around the house. A spray can has arrived on the scene with a spotless reputa- tion as a rain and stain cheater. The stain repeller in itself is not new. The fluorochemical treatment of fabrics that makes them impervious to water and oil-borne stains has been avail- able for several years in fab- rics for wearing apparel, uphol- stery, drapes, even footwear. With the introduction of the spray can, a person can now protect children's clothes, or that fine tablecloth that always seems to get so badly spotted, hubby's tie -- the one that at-| tracts the gravy stains -- or} even some of the furniture. The fluoroehemical process is not a fabric coating. It is a fabric treatment. The solution sprayed on fabric is absorbed by every single fiber, leaving the fabric with its original color and feel, yet making it imper- vious to all sorts of stains. Water or oily substances spill- ed on fluorochemically portect- ed fabric beads and rests on the surface. It need only be lighted blotted up with absorbent tissue. That's why this process has earned. itsspatiess. reputation, The story of the development of the fluorochemical process is a story of conquest. A fluorochemical is a man- made union of the elements of fluorine and carbon, which do not occur together in nature. It took 70 years of research and countless millions of dol- lars to tame the most savage of all the elements, fluorine. It is far commoner in earth than is zinc or copper, yet it re- mained a chemical mystery un- til 1886, when Henry Moissan, a noted French chemist, succeed- ed in isolating pure fluorine. In its pure state it is pungent, cor- rosive; a greenish-yellow gas that poisons the air, makes water burst chews through glass or asbestos in the twinkling of an eye. It wasn't til 1937, when Pro- fessor Joseph H. Simons found a way to create fluoro-carbons in unlimited variety, that a start in the real taming of fluoride began, He succeeded in passing a direct electric current through a mixture of hydrogen fluoride and one of the hydro carbons. Several drops of clear liquid formed, at the' bottom of the test. That was the start. Because fluorochemicals are incompatible with oil and water they repel these substances, Materials with a fluorochem- ical surface, therefore, are ex- tremely difficult to stain. The most economical way to treat fabric is at the mill where full quality control and large yardage cut the cost of the treatment. But for those with unprotected fabrics around, the new spray can will mean a new freedom from worry about stain- ing. ew nase ALL METHODS MONTREAL (CP)--"An art- ist should try all the media of jart before deciding which one to major in," says Mrs. Rae Cohen, who has diplomas in painting, sketching, sculpturing and fashion design.

Connie Helmericks of Tucson, Ariz, and her two teen-age daughters spent eight weeks sailing down the Mackenzie from Yellowknife to Inuvik in a 20-foot freighter canoe driven by an outboard motor. Mrs. Helmericks said she be- lieves it's the first time women to the Arctic Ocean this way. She began the trek last year when she sailed from Taylor Flats, B.C., to Yellowknife.

I am not writing for sympathy. I am writing to. let other teen-agers know how lucky they are just to be able to stand on their own two feet and walk from one room to another. Believe me, Ann, I never ap- preciated being able to go where I wanted to and do what I wanted to until I was flat on my back for seven months. It would be crazy to say I am glad I got sick, but in a way it was the best thing 'that ever happened to me. It gave me new respect for ordinary things that I used to take for granted. I guess { was just like the man who didn't know how important water was until the well ran dry. Good health is a great bless- ing. Without it life doesn't mean a thing. With it, you can ac- complish almost anything.-- Sunny Skies Dear Sunny: Your letter is Teenager Gets New Slant On Life resents this generalization. We divorced women have enough trouble making a living, raising well » adjusted children, main- taining our sanity, and combat- ting loneliness, without taking insults like that from the peanut gallery. I know many divorcees who are far more respectable than some married women. Often the divorcee is the victim of a too early marriage or' inade- quate parental guidance, Some of us lost our husbands to The Other Woman, Others preferred life alone to putting up with a lying, cheating rat. "Trouble" is created by indi- vidual, married, single, di- vorced and widowed. Please make this clear in your column. --A Divorcee Dear Divorcee: For 10 years I've been making it plenty clear. And I'm grateful for letters like come up with a solution to this problem I will be pad Mo ciative and so will my husband. His sistér is a swell person. Estelle and I are the same age and we get along fine. She and her husband live down the street from us, which may be part of the problem. About twice a week they show up at our front door with their company. Sometimes we know the people and some- times we don't. Usually it's a Friday or Saturday night or Sunday afternoon. They never call to ask if we have plans. They just come over. The following morning Estelle usually calls and says, "You sure saved our lives. Those Smiths are such bores Bernie and I would have died if we couldn't have brought them to your place." : My husband and I would like to put a stop to this prac- tice; Is there a way out?--Mr, and Mrs. Pigeon Dear Mr. and Mrs.: The way out is right through the front door--like this: The next time Estelle and Bernie appear with guests, say, "So sorry we were just leaving." Then get your coats and leave -- even if it's only to the corner to pick up another newspaper, yours because they have helped. | Dear Ann Landers: If you! If you do this twice, you won't have to do it a third time, THE STARS SAY By ESTRELLITA FOR TOMORROW Mercury's position, somewhat adverse now, suggests care in all written matters and in com- munications generally. Those who earn their living by the pen (or typewriter) may find them- selves somewhat bogged down now, but they can take comfort in the fact that the aforemen- tioned restrictions will last for only 24 hours. FOR THE BIRTHDAY If tomorrow is your birthday, your horoscope indicates that you are currently in a period in which it would be advisable to make constructive plans for advaficing all worth - while goals. Plans put in motion now, should result in excellent occu- pational and financial advance- ment between the 15th of this month and the last week in Oc- tober, with: further step. ups star-promised during the first half of February, in late April, early May, the last half of June and hext August. Where your fiscal interests are concerned, however, make up your mind to be extremely conservative in November and during the last two weeks in December; also in April when, despite promised one which adults, as well as teen-agers, should clip out and keep hardy as a daily reminder. And 1 hope you will keep it, too, when you are fully recov- ered, because it's easy to forget how precious good health is when you have it.
