THE FIRST SOAP.
According to Pliny, II Was In Use
Among the Gauls.

According to Pliny, IL Was In uso
Among the Gauls.
Who invented soap? According TO
Pliny, soap was an invention Of the
Gauls, who used ii for giving a bright
hue to the hair. He also states that
il was employed by the Germans
beth rs n medicinal and as a cleansing
agent, two kinds being used-hard and
soft There is reason TO believe that
il was introduced into Germany by the
Romans, though on this point there is
some difference of opinion.
Homer tells us in the odyssey" that
Nausicaa. daughter OF Alcinous. king
Of the Phaecians. and her attendants
washed clothes by treading upon
them with their feet in pits OF water.
so that apparently she and her serv-
ants were unacquainted with the use
OF soap.
The fact that soap was obtainable
by boiling together oily or. fatty sub
stances and alkalis was known Mt an
early period OF history, but 1t must
be borne I'm mind that the substance
referred TO i'm the Old Testament and
translated "soap" Jeremiah ii, 22,
For though thou wash thee with
niter-properly, natrou-soda-an take
thee much SOAP" and Malachi iv. >,
For he is like n reGner's fire and
like fuller's soap') refer to the alkali
itself and not to the substances pre-
pared from oily bodies and these aka
line matters.
The French word for soap (savOn
Is supposed TO have been derived
from the fact Of its having been manu-
featured at Savona, near Genoa.
The manufacture OF soap began In
London in 1924, before which time it
was supplied by Bristol at penny
per pound. a duty was imposed on
soap I'm I'LL, but after several rcduc
tions was totally repealed in 1853

FORCE ON PACIFIC
Secretary Meyer Promises
This Development With
Opening of Canal.

NEW YORK, Feb. H.-with Pearl
Harbor, sar Francisco bay, and Puget
Sound strengthened as ideal naval
bases. 1t is the purpose of the United
States Government to maintain its full
arInored naval strength on the Pacific
coast, according to Secretary Of the
Navy Meyer. He spoke at the twenty
fifth annual dinner Of the Republican
Club of New York city last night. This
development, Mr.. Meyer made clear,
would come with the opening of the
Panama canal. His announcement came
as a surprise, and at once aroused keen
interest, but he avoided going into de
tail, and passed to other topics bearing
upon naval policies.
The dinner was in commemoration of
the l02d anniversary Of the birth of
Lincoln, and was attended by the usual
representative Assem- blage of New York
Republicans. Seth Low, the clubs ex-
ecutive officer, presided. and among the
notables present were former President
Roosevelt, who urged fortifcation of the
Panama canal. argued for the election
of Senators by popular vote and came
out unqualifedly for reciprocity with
Canada.
The policies of President Taft were
applauded twice during the evening.
They were the proposed Canadian reci-
procity program and canal fortification.

feated in a sixteen mile aerOplane
race by c. F. Paterson. of Southport.
The flight was made at Fresh field.
near Southport, and was primarily for
the purpose of testing Mr. Grahame-
Whites improved Curtiss biplane. 1t
was believed that the changes made
in the machine had greatly increased
its speed. and the belief was justified
although 1t did not fly fast enough to
distance the Farman machine with
which 1t competed.
The two machines were wheeled to
the field at the same time. and while
her fianCe was going over the engine
Miss Chase climbed into her seat
smiling happily and confidently
I'VE will win" she called to a friend
tusr before the start.
The machines started together, and
after one or two preliminary circles,
darted off toward Formby. eight miles
away. There they wheeled and came
back to the field. Both biplanes were
driven for all that was in them, but
the Farman was the faster. When the
Curtiss machine came down Miss Chase
was very much put out and had nothing
to say. -o ,,oo.on. so,, +,o rro,,sb
