FICTION THAT. ESKIMO DOES
NOT LIKE SOAP IS ABSURD SAYS
MISSIONARY FROM POINT HOPE

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 21.-(A. P.)-
The '1ong standing libel that the Es-
quimeau objects to soap deserves to
be corrected in the interests of truth"
according to reports from the Rev.
William A. Thomas, Episcopal mis-
sionary among the Tigeras at Point
Hope, Alaska. Point Hope is about
300 miles north of the Arctic Circle,
and Is the farthest point north of the
Episcopal Church's activities. Mr..
Thomas and his wife are the only
white residents of the settlement.
"The fiction that the Esquimau
doesn't like soap Is absurd, for the
wholly partical reason that he must
keep clean in order to stand the rigors
of the climate" Rev. Thomas says
"On our way east from the coast a
friend asked Mrs. Thomas how she
kept herself supplied with cold cream
up In the North to. prevent her face
from freezing The reply is that the
application of anything that might
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1922-09-22

close up the pores of the skin and
prevent the free circulation of the
blood is the quickest way to have the
face frozen. What applies to a white
person applies with equal force to the
Esquimau. If he used seal oil or
whale oil or any of the other lotions
which he is charged with preferring to
soap, he couldn't stand the bitter cold
of the Arctic climate.
'As q matter of fact the Esquimau
uses a whole lot of soap. Also, like
the red Indian, they pull the hair
from their faces by the roots, in order
that their faces may be kept clean.
II am speaking of the Esquimau at
home, in his native igloo or hut. This
igloo, is not necessarily the unclean
dugout of snow which it is sometimes
depicted. The snow igIoo is tenn
porary affair built for overnight shell
ter. The IglOo in the native COM
munities is II neat compact affair.

USE GREEN MANuRiAL CROPS
Gradually Taking Place Of Stable
Manures to Keep Up Supply Of
Organic Matter.


Prof. r. l.. Watts. writing In the
Market Growers Journal. sums up the
fertility problem of the market grow
er In the following:
while we have pinned our faith to
the use Of stable manure In producing
good crops. green mnnurial crops are
gradually taking the place OF stable
manures. 1t Is fortunate that we are
able to maintain In this manner the
supply of soil organic matter. Let us
remember some essentials In the sue
cessful use of green mnnures. they
might be given as follows:
II. Soil adaptation. We should be
careful to select the right crop for the
soil under cultivation, which also fits
properly Into the system Of cropping
"2. Use bountiful supply Of seed.
80. Use sufficient commercial fer
tilizer to insure heavy growth.
II. Sow In ample time, especIally,i IN
the fall Of the year. so that the crop
will get good start before winter.
'5. Take advantage of every Oppor-
tnnity to grow n manurial crop"
