CAUSE OF DRY ROT IN LEATHER Too much acid and not enough oil and grease results in "dry rot" of leather, according to the bureau of chemistry, United States department of agriculture. Chemists of the bu reau recently analyzed two 14-year old tan-colored suit-case straps sent in for examination. The straps were visibly in an extremely advanced stage of deterioration, being cracky and easily scuffed and torn. Analy sis showed that the leather was very acid, containing as much as 3,25 per cent; also that it contained but 1.95 per cent of oil and grease. The findings in this examination served to emphasize again that lack of oil and grease and a high acidity produce a condition responsible for much early destruction of leather. Not only does the lack of oils and greases deprive the fibers of the leather of much needed "nourish ment" but it also permits the ab sorption of more acid during its peri od of service From previous investi gations on the deterioration of leather it is indicated that the acidity in these two straps when they were new was lower than that found by analysis and that it had increased during use through absorption of acids from the polluted atmosphere. Leather that is properly tanned and well cared for will stand up for a long time, even under severe con ditions of use. These straps, al though handicapped, rendered service for 14 years. Had they been free from destructive acids when tanned and given sufficient nourishment with oils and greases their life of service would have been greatly extended. tt tt î-5 8 8 8 8 8 J-Î & {«5 8 ft 8 g g 8 M SEDAN n n « 8 « « » « a :•: « « « « » Mrs. A.
