...Bleu, two years later, keeps this power that disturbed his contemporaries. It uses darker but equally vigorous color, and a modeling that has the violence of a flung dishcloth or a snapped rope, to create a figure whose superhuman solidity bends light around it. That same year Matisse painted Le Luxe I. The difference between Luxe and Nu Bleu is the arrow of his creative consciousness: toward massed composition, flat surface, simplified color and, above all, a mood of subtly altered consciousness, which from then on became a major Matisse characteristic. He turns the viewer on to an exaltation, whether...
...open Model T, hand-cranked the engine into ear-splitting action, and headed for the office at the blazing 15 m.p.h. demanded by the bumpy, unpaved road. Back at the house, his wife kneaded the dough for the day's bread, then took soap and dishcloth to wash the Mason jars in which she was about to preserve apple butter.

To be marketed by Omaha's new Selinized Process Co., the coating makes it possible to clean most utensils with a dishcloth. Some deposits come clean when the pan is turned upside down and tapped; more stubborn food remnants can be burned off by putting the coated saucepan back on a hot stove. By early fall the first batch of 7,500 Selinized standard aluminum utensils will be marketed in the Nebraska area at prices about...
...Woolen underclothes," snapped Dr. Gerald Gibbens in the Practitioner (London), "are expensive, difficult to wash, and are water-repellent, so that when we move with any energy at all we sweat and stay wet and itchy and smelly for the rest of the day." His remedy: "dishcloth underclothes," knitted of cotton yarn. Just as warm as wool, he says, easier to wash, softer-and cheaper...
