Quota Of Soap.

If all the soap that Is manufactured
annually In the United States could be
tloated-and much Of it could bet
would represent a tonnage not greatly
less than that Of the United States
navy, battleships, cruisers, d~estroyers,
submarines, transports and all. The
bureau Of the census has just issued
figures for 1919, according to which g.
432, sol, 900 pounds of soap was manu-
featured in the United States that
year. That Is 1,216,295 tons. These
figures are for all forms of soap.
Figured on the basis of the present
estimated population of the country
there is produced each year twenty.
two pounds of soap for every person
in the country, although there Is per.
haps no commodity which varies more
in point Of individual consumption
than this one. More soap Is being pro-
duced in proportion to the population
than in the output Of twenty years
ago-about five pounds more for every
individual in the country.-New York
Herald.

POISONED GLUE FOR BIBLES
Particular Protection Necessary for
Books Intended for Circulation In
the Gilbert Islands.

Not only must Bibles be attractlvely
bound aud well printed, but some of
them must be pcrfumed, peppered and
poisoned as well. Bibles going to the
Gilbert Islands contain In the binding
glue and the paste which fastens the
cover Il mixture of oil of cloves, cay
ennc pepper and corrosive sublimate.
This Is to ward off a certain worm,
peculiar to these islands, which de-
Stroys the bindings of books. Twelve
hundred such Bibles have been sent
recently by the United States Bible So
clety on their l5,OOOmIle journey to
Ocean Island by way of sydney, Aus.
tralin, Rev, u. Hiram Bingham, the
famous missionary translator, gave his
life to the preparation of the Bible In
the Gilbertcse language.
