Milium & Maleic

From the fertile brains of U.S. inventors came these new products last week:

P: A chemical (maleic hydrazide), developed by U.S. Rubber Co., which kills crab grass, also retards the growth of a lawn without damaging it, thus reducing the necessity for frequent mowing.

P: Men's socks woven by Burlington Mills of nylon and Vicara, a new wool-like, mothproof synthetic, made from field corn. Vicara is reported to outwear wool, does not shrink, and sells for around 83-c- a lb. v. wool's $2 to $3 a lb.

P: Coats lined with fabric metalized by the Milium process, which are being made by Hart Schaffner & Marx and others. By coating the underside of the fabric with an aluminum solution, the process makes a topcoat as warm as a winter coat, a sheet as warm as a heavy blanket.
