SOAPMANING IN DAYS OF OLD
Hogs and Ashes Utilized to Good Ad- vantage During the Youth of
 Our Grandmothers.

In the days of our grandm0thers, when manufactured soap was an ex- pensive luxury and hard to obtain, every country housewife made her own soft soap, says the Kansas City Star Enough was made at one time tO last the whole year. The light of the moon in March was considered the proper time for the soapmaking and d SasSafras stick must be used for stirring
 When the hogs were butchered for the yearly supply of meat the house. wife carefully cleaned and washed the entrailS and salted them down until Soapmaking time Also all scraps of meat and rinGs were saved to be used.
 When the ashes were removed from the fireplace during the winter months they were placed in large hopper built for that purpose and kept care fully covered until about a week be- fore the time for making soap. Then the children would carry water each day and pour over the ashes and start the "hopper to running" to make the lye for the soap.
 When enough lye had run to make the soap il was placed in a large ket- tie over an outdoor fire and boiled un- iii il became strong enough to "eut q feather" Then the soap grease was put in and the mixture kept at the boiling point and stirred continuously until the I've had eaten all the grease and the mixture had become a thick soft mass of soap.
 The soap was placed in barrels ana used for laundry purposes.

Plan by N. l.. M. A. Sketcn Illustrates New Features of
 Fire Resistive Construction.

% ANGER from fire in frame houses
 has been reduced fifty per cent. A through improvements in con- struetion worked out by the most com potent engineers in tho !!Ia3cT 'nduS- try. This announcement has just been made after these engineers have been working upon improved designs in frame construction during the past year with q view to reducing the fire hazard for wood houses to a minimum.
 Practically no change in appearance In houses constructed by the improved methods and very little, if any, addi- tional cost is involved, but the meth ods recommended by the engineers give protective features making the frame house essentially resistive to fire.
 Interposing of panels and short pieces within spaces that ordinarily serve aa llues for rapid spread of fire. for instance, reduces danger from this cause. Other protective Improvements prevent wooden parts catching fire from ehlmneys, freplaces, heating plants and steam and hot water pipes.
 While wood will burn and there is no such thing as a "freproof" house within the reach of tho ordinary pocketboolS, the new protective meas ures devised by the lumber engineers offer an economical type of construc- ton that is fire resistive and as nearly fireproof as frame construction as now developed can be made. according to their conclusions The methods con form strictly to the scientific codes or the most progressive cities and carry A minimum of fire risk because Of the necessarily slow spread of combustion in houses following the new type of

M'PHERSON SAYS UNCLE SAM
MUST GIVE ALASKA CHANCE

SEATTLE, May ia Washing
ton special to the Seattle Times
says that j. l.. Mcpherson was one
of the first to appear before the
house committee on territories, at
the first hearing on the Curry Alaska
development board bill, which was
held yesterday.
Mcpherson told the members OF
the committee that unless there is
a change made in the form of ter
ritorial government under which the
territory is now laboring, the de-
population of Alaska will continue
to the point where the only inhabit-
ants remaining will be Eskimos and
Indians. He declared that during
the period of American ownership
of Alaska, the territory has pro-
duced in natural wealth more than
a billion dollars, and he presented
figures, in the form of customs re-
cords, to show that raw materials
to the value of So have been sent
to the States for every dollar, in
finished products, sent to Alaska.
He also pointed out that the Scandi-
navian peninsula, with less fertility
but the same climatic conditions,
supports a population of ten million
people.
Mcpherson informed the COM
mittee that he favored the co-ordi-
nation of governmental activities in
Alaska and he Endorsed the principal
of the Curry bill He predicted that
great oil fields would be located
near the Arctic and he saw in the
proposed development board a vast
opportunity for the development OF
the territory's natural resources.
Mcpherson said, in conclusion,
'the Northwest is unalterably OPP
posed to any policy that will result
in exploitation and waste in develop
ment of Alaska's natural resources.
Those resources were placed there
for the support of the men and
women to whom Alaska will be
home, and we earnestly pray Con-
gress to initiate a policy that will
result in the utilization of the ter
ritory's resources with every safe
guard against monopoly and exploit
tation to the end of creating local
industries and encouraging settle
ment by BODYBUILDING citizens"
Col. E. Lester Jones, director of
the Coast and Geodetic Survey, ap-
peared before the committee today
and he was followed by CDR" AL
