Quota of Soap.

II all the soap that is manufactured
annually in the United States could be
fioated-and much Of 1t could bet
would represent a tonnage not greatly
less than that Of the United States
navy, battleships, cruisers, destroyers,
submarines, transports and all. The
bureau of the census has just issued
figures for 1919, according to which 3
49,, sol 600 pounds Of soap was manu-
featured in the United States that
wear, 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

the poison was administered, and Catn-
crime de Medici was freely named as
the instigator of the murder, though
no direct proof that she was ever con-
nected with the affair has ever come 10
light.
Wraxwell, continuing his account OF
the strange illness Of the queen, states
that "Davilla asserts, in the most posi-
tive terms, that the queen OF Navarro
was poisoned. The deadly dose was
administered, it was reported, IN the
trimming Of pair of gloves, but IN
a manner so imperceptible and in SO
nice a proportion that after having
worn them for only few days the
queen mother was seized with a vio'
lent fever, which put an end to her
life in five days."
When news of the death of the queen
mother reached the Huguenots, whose
cause Queen Jane had espoused, they
instantly made the charge Of foul play,
and the king, cognizant OF the fact
that the poison had left no traces, Or
dered the body to be publicly exam
ined. Historians whose accounts are
accepted as authoritative declare that
the two persons who examined the
queens body were not permitted to
touch her head, where it was supposed
that traces of the poison were still WIS.,
ible, and D'Aubigne makes no secret
of the statement that the queen was
urdered-though he Is rather vague
as to the means used.
During her entire life Queen Jane
had been subject to violent head
aches, attended by an extreme itch
ing sensation, and repeatedly ex-
pressed the wish that the cause OF
this malady might be looked into,
with the intention Of relieving her
children If they should be subject to
the same disorder. This may have
explained the reluctance of the. king
to permit an examination of the head
of the queen mother, though popular
opinion at the time lays it to fear OF
the discovery of the poison used to

Two Memorials,

Strikingly in contrast are the two
memorials by the banks Of the Poto-
mac to two great American Presi-
dents. The tall shaft, which expresses
the nations tribute to George Wash
ington, is wholly different from the
lower, square, temple-like memorial
to Abraham Lincoln short distance
to the west. Each Is perfect example
of it's style. Each is a complete ex-
preston of the nations thought.
The Washington obelisk rises high
above all other structures in the CAPT.
tai. 1t is simple, pure and stately. It
dominates the landscape. For many
miles it is visible, the first mark of
Washington, the city. 1t Is Of a form
that in the ancient days was adopted
to perpetuate the fame of the rulers
Of Egypt. a classic type, geometrically
perfect, architecturally complete.
The Lincoln Memorial could not
have been effective If similar to its
loftier neighbor. There could be no
second tall shaft without lessening
the significance of each. 1t Is a COM
plement, just as Lincoln's service to
the nation was the complement to
that Of Washington.
Between Lincoln and Washington
stretched a space of sixty-four years,
from the end Of the formers term to
the beginning Of the latter's, little
less than the space that has elapsed
since Lihcoln's death to this day.
Thus in a way the Lincoln Memorial
marks the midpoint Of the national
career to the present from the first
administration under the Constitution.
Other memorials will doubtless arise
in this city to the great men Of the
nation who have rendered valuable
services, but none will be more elo.
quent than these two.

thoughts inspired by Memorial day

thoughts inspired by Memorial day
that tokens of gratitude and reverence
are placed upon the graves of those
who fought on both sides of the war
between the states. This day, though
it had its origin in the memories Of
that war when the rancors Of civil
strife had not subsided, is now truly
national service. The healing Of that
breach is most surely made manifest
by the association Of the representa-
tives Of both sections in the cere-
monies that are today taking place
in aQ parts of the country.
The United States has become the
stronger, the more surely union of
interests and the object of the high
est wishes Of men of all parts and
states and sections because of the
feelings that are each year on this
day given expression in the places of
public assemblage, in orations. in
music and in the impressive observ-
ances at the graves of the dead.
Growing in significance year by
year, participated in more generally
by the people of all the states, with a
longer list of Americans who have
given all they had for the nations
sake and for their ideals of America,

warks of the nation. 1t is an inspira-
ton to youth as it is a solace to the

ties in consequence Of his extrava-
gance, and particularly his mainte-
nance Of a racing stable. During the
war John Bull" as Bottomley loved
to be called, was in his element. He
scolded, he cheered, he organized, he
doomed recruiting, he planned cam
paigns. he visited the troops at the
front, he collected funds for their
comfort. He was constantly In evil
dence. 1t was not until after the
armistice that the confidence Of his
own particular public began to
weaken. Tales were told Of troubles
connected with clubs he had formed
for the purchase Of victory bonds by
people Of small means. He had be.
come a member Of parliament, but
that fact did not shield him from &C
cusation. He brought libel suit
against one of his accusers and lost
it. Then a specific case was made up
against him and he was brought to
trial, which showed, as the judge In
passing sentence yesterday declared,
that he had mulcted members Of these
bond.buying clubs Of at least fl5O,000.
A penalty Of seven years penal servi'
tude was imposed.
All this is Of interest to the people
Of this country mainly from the fact
that Bottomley was a malicious inf1u-
ence for the fomenting Of discord be-
tween the American and the English
people. necessarily he indulged in
scornful attacks upon the United
States in his periodical and public
speeches. Lately his anti-Americanism
had palled upon even his own follow
ers, and he had alienated great num-
bers by the venom which he showed,
especially in his criticism OF a speech
by Gen. Pershing. 1t is gratifying
that Bottomley's evil influence was
not effective with the people and the
government of Great Britain.

An outstanding good feature of the

feature which gives general salts

means the remuneration 10 more ac-
curately proportioned to the actual
service rendered to the government.
The real object of the bonus some
two years ago (Which retired officers,
by the way, did not get). and the con-
sideration of the entire matter by
the joint congressional committee. is
the need of an increase due to the
deprecated purchasing power of the
dollar, and the dollar OF the retired
offcer purchases no more than that

When Congress years ago decided
that a retired officer should have
three-fourths of the grade on which
he was retired. and officers subse-
quently entered the service with that
understanding, an implied contract
was entered into, and to withhold the
increase from the retired officer while
