Consul Frank w. Mahin writes from
Nottingham, England. that the secre-
tary OF the Highways Protection league
reports that, according to accounts in
the press, 932 automobile accidents oc-
CURED in Great Britain in 1907, killing
2l5 persons and injuring 675. For
these accidents and other motor car Of
lenses 2,270 persons were summoned,
OF whom 2,046 were convicted. AS the
number of automobiles in use is esti-
mated at As, 900, Ii would seem that one
in about every % did something illegal
last year. Occasionally the same driv-
er is summoned more than once. but
his license is usually revoked If it
happens more than twice.

you had to buy your bones IL you want

pensive, for the cleaning and bleaching

many students or anatomy had no

tant bones, they were beyond the reach

costs $50 or $40. A good skeleton costs
$40 and more But with q bone library

Chsmiesi Properties Of the "Rsaid
Washer Variety.


Washer" Variety.
That those who buy soap By weight
choose dry aud hard kinds to avoid
purchasing water Is advised by a cor
respondent quoted In the Lancet. This
winter, well known English physi-
clan, says that while Investigating ex-
penditures at large London hospital
he found that large quantity or sofe
soap was being used and that as this
contained considerable percentage or
water the institution was paying q
very high price both for water and fer
soap. To quote the Lancet's article:
HE suggests that the best aud most
economical soap for the purpose Is dry
soap powder. especially when used In
conjunction with water softener or
With borax. Forty tons or so OF soft
soap, he adds, were used some little
time ago at the launch Of q new Gu
harder, but they who manage such
things would never think OF paying the
price hospitals pay, nor do railway
companies or hotels" Z
An eminent firm of soapnakers also
writes to the same paper that old fash
Toned soap made with taiiow. Ia much
superior TO that now generally used.
To quote again:
lit would appear that in order to
make an oil soap hard enough to form
a bar 1t Is necessary to Introduce into
1t large proportion of cocoanut oil or
palm kernel oil. These two oils hIth-
erto have formed the basis Of the SO
called rapid washer soaps Cocoanut
Or palm kernel oils absorb a much
larger percentage Of caustic alkali than
does taiiow, and so 1t is evident that
the rapid detergent properties Of these
soaps are due principally to the excess
or chemicals which they contain. 1t
seems to us, therefore, time to send a
them TO return to the good old fashion
ed soaps of their fsthers-soaps which
washed but did not destroy the clothes
or irritate the skin, and, although it Is
claimed that the oil soaps can be used
with less labor, their destructive prop
critics should not be lost sight Of
While on this subject we should like
10 ask why the most refined OF Gil
soaps-namely, olive oil soap-uulsss It
Is specially asked for, Is hardly. ever
supplied to the public Que difficulty
at least will very shortly have TO be
faced by the soapmskers who employ
eocosnut oil and palm kernel oil for
the preparation or the rapid cleansing
variety or soaps, aud that is that these
oils are being very largely used for ed
ible purposes, and there can be, little
doubt that modern ingenuity ID such
that they even masquerade as butter.
Ii Is probable. therefore. that THIS fact
viii tend to raise the price OF these oils
unless a cheaper substitute ID found.
