nt a) od ATG La JA en A ed an Sam== = a What Science Is Doing NO MORE DISH WIPING The laboratory was quiet save for the drip of water from a leaky faucet. The two men gazed ""at each other with haggard faces over test tubes, Finally one, in a hushed voice, announced, "This means the- emancipation of man- kind." The scene was g work room in the New. York State Agricultural Experiment Station, The men both resgarch scientists, had "made the greatest scientific dis- covery since the invention of the wheel. The. results of their re- search will cause strong men to weep, and will send little children dancing joyously through the streets. They had proved that it is de- finitey insanitary to wipe dishes. The men, William G. Walter and G. J. Hucker, have buried their findings in a pamphlet de- voted to "the use of the contact- plate method to determine the microbial contamination of flat "surfaces." No longer will the tired busi- ness man be torn from his news- paper and routed out of his arm- chair in tiie evening to stand at the kitchen sink wiping dish after dish. Children can dash from the house after supper and have an extra half hour to play. To be scientific and to achieve the high- est degree of cleanliness the housewife must wash and rinse her dishes--and then just tuck them away in the pantry. After running hundreds of tests, Walter and Hucker found that the ideal way to clean the dinner dishes was to wash them ~in water heated above 160 de- grees Fahrenheit for about' two minutes, and rinse them in water equally hot for at least 10 sece-. onds. They then should be allow- ed to dry without towelling and be put away. Dishes that were washed in wa- ter that was less than 160 degrees and wiped with towels showed a large number of bacteria on their surface.
