MAKING SOAP IS
 JOB 0F CHEMIST
This Is First Chapter Of Applied
 Chemistry

Washington, D. C., Nov. s--A re- cent Soviet expedition into Mongo- lia surprised the natives by intro ducing them to a queer substance which became frothy when rubbed in water, and which miraculously cleaned soiled hands and clothes.
 l. was soap, says a bulletin from the Washington. D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic society ordinary soap, which, known in China ages ago, has just been ln troduced into China's neighboring land after a romantic journey through the west lasting centuries.
 Soapless Civilizations
 Soap is such common sub stance and so essential to civilized man today" continues the bulletin, that it is difficult to realize that it is, comparatively new sub- stance.
 "Before the day of soap manufac- ture, frequenters Of the splendiI baths of Greece and Rome c%eansed their bodies by first amounting with oil, and then rubbing on ashes.
 The Romans learned soapmak- ing as they acquired many other arts and inventions. from the barbarian- who came under their yoke.
 They found the Gauls using 9 substance made by boiling talloW and wood ashes in water. It is be ieved that the Gauls had learned the soap-making procedure from the ] Phoenicians. The art was quickly ! taken up in Rome. II is there that the name originated: sapo was one Latin word for talow. One of the most interesting discoveries made in uncovering the ruins of Pompeii was an 1S00-year- r-old soap factory. ~Long q Luxury in England. "Whcn soap made its appearance in England toward the end Of the fourteenth century it was taxed as q supcr-luXury. The tax was not removed until 1853. After the dis covcry in 179O that common salt was cheap source of alkali, soap could be manufactured much more
 
 cheaply; it's luxury period was al an end.
 "The chemical combination of any fatty acid fhe chief constituent of fatty oils) with a base is, techni- cally soap. But some Of these soaps would not be recognized by q layman. for they would be as hard and insolube as a phonograph rec ord or billiard ball. Three bases are used in making soluble cleans ing soaps: soda, in ordinary soaps; potash, in soft soaps and ammonia, in dry-cleaning soaps. Only oils containing fatty acids can be used in soar making. Mineral oils, such as petroleum. will not form chem iCal combination with alkals.
 Tn colonial days in America most of the soap was made in the households where 1t was used. But there were a few small soap factor ies in New England, and some of

the early American pioneers who forest. gained a welcome bit of in come by burning the fellcd trees and selling the ashes 10 the com mcrcial soapmakers.
 Still Made in Rural Homes
 Even today in many rural com munities much homemade soap is made. II is usually prepared during tho hog killing season of early winter. Canned lye (Caustic soda) is bought from the country store fat. The resultant soap is a soggy, gray substance used chiefly in laun- dering operations and in dish wash ing.
 "The Commonest factory method of soapmaking is 10 melt or heat fats, such as tallow. coconut oil, peanut oil, and the like, and to boil them with a certain proportion Of caustic soda solution. The oils, composed Of fatty acids and glycer- inc, split up, and the soda unites chemically with the acids to form soap. Glycerine is liberated as a by product. During the World War the by-product, needed in manufactur- ing explosives, became more import ant than the soap.
 Tn the largest soap factories kct- lies or vats are used which hold n or 12 carloads of soap. After the chemical action takes place salt water is added. and after standing for some days the mixture separates into four definite layers. On top is a frothy crust which is skinned off. Next below lies the good soap.

RADIO TRAIN CONTROL.

Radio control of train movements
is described in recent statement by
the Department of Commerce giving
details of a new German invention
designed to prevent collisions. s.
yes the equipment of all trains rum
ming on single track with receiv-
ing and sending radio apparatus tuned
to designated short wave length.
When rtain reduces its speed or
stops, signal is automatically COM
municated to train following on the
same track behind it, to warn the en-
gineer by peculiar sound, or to act
directly upon the brakes of the fol-
lowing train.
Where two or more tracks run par
allel, each would be governed by a
different wave-length. Similar re-
suits may be obtained through operat-
ing the signals from stationary
''block house" If desired, and the sys-
tenn gives promise of real. effectiveness
in the prevention of rear-end coils
ions. There appears to be- no reason
why a , modification of the method
might not be adapted to avoid head-on
collisions as WE'LL although such adj
aption is not mentioned in the prelim-
mary report of the new invention.
