Soap Maker
Advocates Early Rising

London, July 25.-American own
ership of threefourths of the gold in
the world is not as great an asset in
competition among nations as is the
Yankee habit of early rising, is the
opinion of Lord Leverhulme, the Eng
lish peer who has made millions in
the soap industry.
In an informal address at Bolton
recently the well known soap maker
spoke of his recent trip to the United
States where people, he declared, are
forming better habits of industry
than in England
"If | am in an English hotel" saiG
Lord Leverhulme, land in order to

a nightwatchman who gives me some
cold stuff said to be tea New York
hotels are in full swing at that hour
and / can get good, hot breakfast

Lord Leverhulme also told his
countrymen that in America young
men do not consider work as degrad-
ing, as do some English youths who
are assured of legacies. at is these
English hapits which are danger
and which will count in the competi-
ton among nations" Lord Lever
hulme asserted.
