This paper is based on a questionnaire containing 27 items with 3 choices each which was conducted to find out what kind of consciousness the 494 boys and girls in primary and junior high schools have toward wearing their school uniforms. The questionnaire returns have been analyzed for main factors and other features of this consciousness.

  These are the main results.

  (1) The image they have of their school uniforms is of the following three factors : regard for uniformity, mental and physical uncomfortableness in wearing, and refinement.

  (2) 30% of those boys and girls who approve of their school uniforms are against some of the minor regulations concerned.

  (3) There are notable differences between the primary school children and the junior high students, and also between the primary school boys and girls, in their consciousness toward wearing school uniforms.

  In this paper, the effect of anti-redeposition agents on washing and anti-redeposition behaviors of an anionic surfactant, n-sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (DBS), toward carbon black soil has been investigated in aqueous DBS-anti-redeposition agents mixed solutions with 0.05mol/l of sodium sulfate at 40℃. Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) and Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) were used as anti-redeposition agents.

  The degree of detergency (D) for nylon fabric increased with increasing the concentration of HPC and PEG, but it seemed to be unchanged at heigher concentration of them. The degree of soil-redeposition (S) for the fabric showed a reverse tendency from D. A significant molecular weight range was recognized for D and S at each anti-redeposition agent. Further, the anti-redeposition action of HPC and PEG was also effective at repeated washing cycles.

  In this study, the formative property of circular skirts is carried out by the fabric weight elongation and by the shape horizontal sections of hem line and by the silhouette of these skirts. Circular skirts are made by 12 kinds of fabrics with different physical properties. The length of circular skirts are 45cm and 65cm. The results are as follows :

  1) It is shown that the fablic weight elongation differs in fabrics properties, in direction of texturs and length of wearing.

  2) The shape horizontal sections of hem line has differed with the number of nodes and wave-height of nodes and breadth of silhouette by fabrics properties.

  3) It is noticed that the breadth of circular skirts by the silhouette has high correlation with the drapability of fabrics.

  In order to investigate what types of panty-hose (PH) are most suitable to wear in summer, wearing tests and handling tests on four types of PH were conducted using twelve healthy female students as subjects. The four types of PH were : ordinary nylon type, cotton type which twist cotton and nylon yarn in the panty part (PH. C), silk type, which twist silk and nylon in all parts of PH and nylon net type for the panty part.

  Subsequently, a survey on PH was carried out using questionaire in 1988. Four hundred thirty-three effective data were derived from 230 female students and 203 females aged 30-60 years.

  The main results obtained were as follows :

  As many as 96% of the respondents wore PH when going out in the summer, and of these 86% complained of sultry discomfort. There was no significant difference between 4 types of PH on skin temperature and clothing microclimate of it. Both humidity and comfort sensations shifted to humid and discomfort side with wearing it. It was shown statistcally that the PH. C type was preferred to the other three types because of the softness touching and elasticity of the panty material. However, only 55% of respondents knew that PH. C was on the market, and the rate of wearing was no more than 26%.

  This study deals with regional differences in the relationship between skin temperature and thermal sensation in the summer, and a comparison with the results of a winter experiment is made. Three male adults used for the winter experiment were exposed to three different temperatures at which each chose “neutral” on a thermal sensation scale, alternating between “neutral” and “slightly warm” and between “neutral” and “slightly cool”, respectively. Those conditions were between 22 and 29℃. Skin temperatures (Tsk) on 15 sites and oral temperature (Tor) were measured. No distinct differences could be observed in Tor between the categories. Significant differences in Tsk between the categories were observed depending on the region in summer and winter. Even within the regions, we observed differences in Tsk in which “neutral” appeared to be maintained. Each range of Tsk on a region where significant differences in Tsk between the categories were observed in both summer and winter was generally wider in winter than in summer. In view of the present consequence, it was inferred that the effect of Tsk upon thermal sensation varied from one region to another, and these regional differences depended on seasonal and individual variations.
