Gauls and Romans First to Find Value of Soa
:-.:-.:.@.-:.-:..:..:.-:..:..:s-:.-:..:--:.-:..:-

Very early in Biblical history it was
found that the ashes from fires, which
were then always of wood, were useful
in removing grease from the hands.
Ashes were thus the earliest form of
soap, and they remained so for a
long time.
The first of the more civilized peo-
piles to discover how TO make real soap
were the Romans. They learned the
secret from the Gauls, who used a
preparation made from wood ashes
and goats tallow for washing their
hair and boards, thus making them
fiery red-a color they considered be-
coming. The Romans developed the
new discovery considerably, but it was
many years before improved methods
of soap making were introduced.
In some parts of the world soap
making is even now carried out in
much the same way as in Roman
times.
An old cask with holes bored in one
end is filed with alternate layers of
straw, lime and wood ashes. The
cask is then placed on raised. slant
ing grooved board, and from time to
time water is poured on the contents,
until there energies 5rownish liquid,

Males Alone Vocal

The tabled henpecked husband may
well look with envy upon life in the
insect world, for there, according to
Raymond L. Ditmars of the New York
geological gardens writing In Boys
Life, it is the male who makes all
the noise, the female being condemned
to eternal silence.
The chief singing insects, says Mr.
Ditmars, are crickets, Iocusts and
katydids. The males Of "all these in
sects sing by rubbing the forward
edges of the wings, which, when close
ly examined, look like mica. These
are the resonating or stimulating or
gans. In the female they are lacking.
However, the males more than make
up for their mates silence. The vol
ume Of sound produced by these small
creatures Is astonishing"

anu the summer MOUTHS.
Any number of the southern resort
dresses feature this idea of contrast.
Note how winsomely the frock in the
picture carries out the idea. Flat crepe
in the new stargold yellow is used for
this dress, the double pointed yoke and
sleeves being of the same material but
in white.
Please TO observe particularly that
the kid shoes worn with this costume
are also white. which is a very sig
nifcant point from the standpoint Of
correct attire for spring. All through
the new style program whenever
touches Of white appear on the dress
or ensemble as the case may be, the
shoes and the hat are also apt TO be
white. Just at the moment white foot
wear is associated more appropriately
with the sunny South. but when the
balmy days of spring gladden. the

and white gloves will add a refresh

an who delights in making up several
