SEATTLE. Jan. 24.-Did Seattle Goebel, the outfielder secured in the Ray Francis trade?
 As the ball season approaches, more and more words of praise are heard of the International League star who Is coming to Seattle. He is the most talked of youngster in the Eastern minor leakues right now.
 Sunny Jim Boldt, head of the h. dians, admits that Washington wants to keep this young man. It is ru- mored that Clark Griffith went so far as to offer to let Seattle keep Francis and the other players, giving the Senators Goebel. But Boldt, who is learning rapidly of the wiles of baseball, declined with thanks.
 Hoyt Lauds Player
 Thes latest booster for Goebel is Waite Hoyt, the hero of the New York Yankees pitching staff in the world series Hoyt comes out with the statement that Goebel is a com ing major league star and advises the New York Yankees to purchase him from Washington, which still retains his services on optional agreement.
 Here is what a Brooklyn paper prints of the matter:
 "Waite Hoyt is said to have come to the front with a suggestion that may help Miller Huggins out of his difficulty regarding the outfield un- til Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel, sus- pended for transforming, are eligible to play again Hoyt has recommend ed the purchase of Eddie Goebel, a fellow Brooklynite, from the Wash ington Senator's.
 "Hoyt aid Goebel, before taking up baseball professionally, played together on the Erasmus team. Al the F1atbush School Goebel was a terror with the bat, and his sensa tioral fielding saved many a hard fought game. Hoyt has pointed out
The Alaska daily empire., 1922-01-24

to Higgins that Washington is going to send Goebel to the Pacific Coast League for further seasoning, despite the fact that Eddie was one of the sensations of the International League last season with the lowly Reading club.
 "There are many other fans in this boro who agree with Hoyt that Goe- bel would be a worthy addition to the Yankees roster. They say the best evidence in the world that Goe bel is worthy of serious consideration is the Brooklyn boys all-around rec ord last season with Bedding, which finished in the cellar. Goebel batted we'll over the 300 mark, was excep tionally fast on the bases and made exceptionally difficult chances look easy in the outfield.'
 Realizing that he has the use Of a great ball player for one year, Boldt will no doubt hold fast to Goebel, or else get someone just as good to fill his boots before letting him go back to Washington.

Back to Prehistoric Days

Running on all fours; climbing with
fingers and toes like monkeys; diving and
swimming as skillfully as if they were
denizens of the ocean, the baby Hoatzin
birds, found in Guiana, perpetuate the pre-
historic days when reptiles were the domi
nant beings. 1t can neither sing nor fly
gracefully, and its very presence is be-
trayed by its strong odor, but it is none
the less of great Importance in the bird
world because of its strange prehistoric
attributes.
The nests of the old birds are always
built out over the water, frequently some
IS feet above the surface, and the young
birds, with their wings turned back, not
folded as is usual, but up like a divers
hands, will dive cleanly from the nest into
the water and swim like fish. When
they wish to return to the nest they climb
on shore and walking on their feet and
the handlike ends of their wings will
creep back to the tree and then climb like
a monkey, using what is virtually the
thumb and first fingers of their strange
wings. They have long neck and head
far more reptilian than birdlike, and
despite their lack of beauty, many scienti
fic expeditions have been sent to Guiana to
photograph and study these birds who rep
resent all the ages of history from reptile
to modern life.-Ex.

Cdn we maine more common
wv than soap? What is more indis-
pensable? Can we do without
soap? Is there any substitute for soap2
We can only answer in the one word "no."
How many kinds, colors and savors of
soap we have and how little we know of
its contents and its manufacture. Soap
can be made from most any mixture of
oils or fats with soda-ash or potash. But
let us get fair knowledge of the soap
that we use every day in our homes and
business.
Let us take our common "laundry soap"
for an example. 1t is composed of three
articles. First is the soda-ash, potash
and caustic, these are called alkalies;
second is the oils; third is the rosin. The
alkalies are the parts that do the cleans
ing, but by themselves they would be en-
tirely too strong for washing ones person
or clothing, therefore, we need the oil.
This cuts the strength of the alkalies to
a congruity according to our need. The
rosin is used to cause the soap to harden
so that it can be handled economically.
Now let us put the idea out of our
head that soaps are made from fish and
animals that have died or been caught
and killed for that purpose, it is very
false saying, though there may be some
OF the Fats from packing houses used in
soaps and we did learn that during the
war; that Germany used some very un-
supposable means of getting this substance
for soap. But most of our soap is made
with cottonseed oil and this grade of oil
is the poorest from the cotton seed. There
are several grades. After the seed has
been crushed and pressed the oil is kettled
and drawn off into four grades First, the
best is made into cooking butter; the
rext best into lard substitute; the next
into cooking oil. The last is what we
use in soap making.
The rosin that is used is according to
grade of soap. Glycerine and all perfectly
white soaps have the very best grade
which is water white rosin and so on to
the poorest grade of soap.
Let us go to the "Soap kettles" These
kettles are large tanks made of heavy
steel plate, they are round and funnel
shaped at the bottom, twenty-five feet deep
and twenty-five feet in diameter, with a
ten inch gate opening at the bottom. They
have two pipe leading itno them. First
is six inch steam pipe entering at the
side about ten feet from the top and run
ming to the bottom of the tank, then max
ing few coils and opening in the center
of the tank with the opening turned up
right. The other pipe is six inch oil pipe
entering at twelve inches from the top
and extending down the side of the tank
about four or five feet.
We will now start making soap. About
fxe hundred gallons of oil is run into the
tank, the steam is turned on when this oil
begins to boil the alkalies are put in and
followed by the rosin. This compound is
kept boiling and the oil, akalies and rosin
are added until the tank or kettle is filled
to about five feet from the top of the ket-
tie. This compound is boiled steady for
twenty-five hours. If the compound should
look grainy a little glycerine is added and
when it is smooth and page g, Col 81

Understand before we proceed that l am
in no wise successful writer, but merely

normal impulse for one to wish to create
something that he can exhibit as his own
brain-child. Everybody writes. That is a
rather startling statement. Everybody

monomania that leads US to believe that
we could show dust and clean pair OF
heels to some of the recognized masters of
literature, were we given fair trial at
the editorial bar of judgment Why do
we want to write? Is it that we wish to
bask in the effulgent glory of the successful
writer or is it that we abhor any form of
endeavor that means manual labor?
Frankly hold that the latter actuates the
majority of would-be scribblers, their
popular opinion surrounds literary man
or woman with an aura of luxuriant ease.
Nyo howe heard that a re rfain author gets
twenty-five cents word for every one OF
his novels, and that they average almost
100000 words. Nice little figure he must
pay an exacting government. Many of US,
in fact most of us, are enjoying (?) long
vacation because some transaction with less
involved did not eliminate satisfactorily.
To be brutally frank, we, the supposed
"wise guys" are colossal chumps.

not intended to inspire the reader to step
out and do an O. Henry as o. N. has
promised to do But, if you have ever
harbored the thought that you have talent
that might be developed, so that you might
attain the pinacle in the literary field, you
are making a grave mistake if you do

WEST VIRGINIA WORKERS

In resolutions unanimously adop-

adherence to law and opposition to
anarchistic coal owners was pro-
claimed.
Under the guise of administering
the law, the coal kings of the coun-
try, and particularly Of West Vir-
ginia, the resolutions said, are using
the courts as instruments of perse-
cution of the workers, and at
Charles Town, West Virginia, are
providing vast sums of money for
the hiring Of private attorneys and
Ito pay witnesses and jurors, and are
also attempting to create a wide
spread prejudice against the men,
bers of organized labor by circulat-
ing manufactured evidence.
The convention declared its de-
votion to the principles of constitu-
tiQnal government and the suprem-
acy of the law, and condemned. the
use of courts for the private pur-
pose of prosecuting organized wage
workers.
