Gauls First Soap Makers.

Made from goats tallow and
beech-wood ashes, the earliest forms
of soap were used by the ancient in
habitants of Germany to give red
dish color to the hair, according to
the records of the historian, Pliny
the elder. Although mixed into hard
and liquid material, it was not
known as cleansing substance, but
was often employed in the treatment
Of skin troubles, writes THE Popular
Mechanics"
The Gauls, it is said, introduced it
into other parts of the world.
To-day the yearly production in
the United States is estimated to be
$500, 100000 pounds. Not until
about the second century of the
Christian era was the product used as
a cleansing article, it is claimed, and
an ancient factory for manufacturing
the material unearthed in the ruins
of Pompeii still contained quantity
of it in a good state of preservation.
Northern Spain and Marseilles
later became the chief centers of the
industry and produced large amounts
of the CASTLE variety from olive oil
and lye. Earlier accounts of the ex-
istence of soap among Asiatic peoples
are believed to refer to some kinds
of mixtures which were devoted to
purposes entirely apart from those of
dyes or cleaning substances.

And It Wasn't His Pin

A young man was paying me un-
usual attention; on my birthday he
presented me with beautiful barpin.
I worried over the gift, and finally
took it to the jewelers.. l explained
70 the young man in charge that my
reason for wanting to know its value
was that 7 wanted to return the pin
If it was expensive as I felt I didn't
care enough for the gentleman who
presented 1t to accept expensive
gifts The young jeweler admitted
the pin was worth a fancy sum,
told me how much he admired my
honesty, and before / knew what was
happening he was urging me to marry
him. | was quite willing to accept
his proposal. Happily enough, our
trip to the altar has been lasting
