JUST LEARN WHY
 SOAP CLEANSES

Kansas City. Mo-, April l4.-(UP) Human beings have used soap for more than 1000 years, but only re- gently have chemists begun to learn why soap cleanses. two Chicago re- search workers told the American Chemical Society today.
 Electricity, as in the case of so many other functions, is the answer.
 w. M. Urbain and L. B. Jensen, Swift and company chemists, .ex- plained that soaps are capable of electrifylng various materials sucl, sss carbon, grease, rust and the like. The identification of such particles is believed to be part of the ex- planation of the cleansing action of soap"

You are so very beautiful, I must paint you at once,' declared this impulsive young man.
 Marie laughed at him, but Il soon happened that she posed regu- larly for this brilliant painter. She liked his queer, jerky way of talk ing while he worked. She felt that she was lucky to be admired by him. One day in the studio he asked about her home. Marie told him a little. rather grudgingly.
 You say you were born in Beau claire?' cried the man How odd!'
 He laid down his brushes and went to a shelf One of the finest wood -carvers in Quebec made this young man called Jules Gareau. He picked up a small figurine and held it in his hands.
 Marie felt quick trembling run all over her. "Oh," she breathed Jules never told me he had taken up his fathers work"
 You know him then this artist Jules?"
 "Yes, she answered stepping down from the alias where she posed Let me see, please"
 Tom gave her the small figurine as if it were something precious Look at the pose" he said, Look at the old womans face. Isn't she wonderful . and beautiful in character? I'd like to meet her.
 You shall" murmured Marie in low voice, and added, T must stay away from home for years. before I discover from stranger how fine my mother is. Come we can catch the evening train"
 Snow lay thick on Beauclaire that Christmas eve. Bright lights shone from the houses. The mountains were dark with purple shadows.
 Two figures walked along the squeaking snow. How could you have left all this for an ugly city, Marie?"
 The girl answered nothing She hurried faster and her heart beat furiously. T cannot wait to get there" she thought.
 Over there," she said aloud, "is the Gareau home, and now, here we come to our house. Hurry hurry!"
 They pushed through the gate; they entered the house without knocking. A huge fire blazed on the hearth. Singing and dancing filled the low-celinged room. Marie pulled her friend towards a slight figure sitting in a chair. This is

FIGUREINE, JUST ONE STORY OF
 HOLIDAY TIME

Marie La Farge was the prettiest girl in Beauclaire Her dark eyes sparkled her black hair framed Q lovely, vivid face It was inevitable that many young men should fall in love with her. Which they did. But chief among them was tall hand some Jules Gareau, the son of q wcod-carver.
 harie's mother was a small hard : working woman whose beauty dif- fered from the girls. Strong lines were graven on her face; and in her eyes shone clear fortitude. Ma dame La Farge's eyes looked steadily at everything, whether it was the snow which lay so many months about the small tight cabin, or at one of her children who had, per- haps been angry or selfish. So, while Marie's face was sweet and winning, her mothers expression was full of character.
 It could hardly fail that Marie should grow a little arrogant under the circumstances. You are unkind to me" said Jules one day T have loved you always, yet you act as. if 1t did not matter. And now you tell me you are going away from here" He waved his arm.
 What is that to you?" Marie was dressed in bright jacket, full woolen skirt and high, laced boots. A red knitted cap was pulled jaun- tily over her curls.
 How can you ask such question of me?" Jules reproved her.
 "A girl cannot stay in this sim pie village forever!
 But Marie" He reached for her mittened hand. His eyes, looking down at her, were filled with be- seeching love. We had plans to- gether, you and I. Already father has given me the land Already have cut the timbers for our house have you forgotten?"
 Marie laughed goodnaturedly. You handsome stupid II must see bit of the world before settling down to she nodded towards her own house where her mother

stood in the door, calling to one of the children. You see?" said Marie, she's worn out with work. She's old before her time She wears old clothes and thinks old thoughts It cannot be otherwise, here in Beauclaire.
 Your mother" replied Jules sternly, has the most truly beauti- ful face in the village. My father says so."
 Marie raised her long lashes in surprise, and shrugged her shoul- ders. A week before Christmas the sfl left the village. T have po- sition During the holidays extra girls are needed in the stores. Soon shall have money of my own. Soon I shall dance and go places with many fine people"
 80 that is what you are think ing" said her mother. But she added no words of advice or repri- mand. Don't forget us, child Think If us at Christmas with the white snow about us, and the green spruc- es on the hills. Think of your father in the woods, chopping. Think of me cooking, and mending and singing to the baby and nothing shall go wrong with you. Come home when it seems best. We love you"
 But Jules was silent and heart broken. You'll never be the same to me, Marie, again. Your head will be filled with idle notions. And 0 think you can go and leave us at Christmas!"
 But Marie went. Ana II they missed her sadly in the village where she was born, she worked hard. And because of her energy and lovely face, she was kept on in her position after the holidays. She sent presents home but she did not go there She liked her new life.
 One year. Two years. For one req son or another she never found time to visit her people. She was doing we'll She was thrifty. She went about with this or that admir- ing escort. And she smothered the occasional bangs of homesickness in her heart
 Five years away. Now and then she heard from Jules, short letters which related to where father had cut his hand chopping wood. How her brother had fallen through the ice and was rescued How her mother was just the same. Every one loves her." wrote Jules.
 Then one day Marie happened to meet an artist named Tom Santos.

my mother she said.
 At once the room was in an up roar People Hooked about the new guests, all talking together, kissing Marie, laughing and shouting.
 But Tom Santos bent low over Madame La Farge's hand. I'm proud and happy to know you Yes" looking at her critically 'Gareau is a genius"
 Marie with a new light and radi- lnce about her next pulled him ts | tall young man standing by the ire. And this is Jules" she eX- olained simply. Jules Gareau. The two men shook hands.
 Please, please. all of you sile ,rjed, be quiet!'
 The room fell into silence.
 T have been away long while, began the girl, But I am homI again. I have neglected you all, bui chiefly my family. But now. or Christmas eve. come to my senses
 and your Her lovely smile en- circled them all Mother, the fig urine which Jules carved of you brought me back I could not wait for then I knew how I'd missed you"
 A murmur of pleasure ran about the room.
 Jules. her voice faltered. blush es rose in her cheeks, "are you stil ?" She could not finish
 The tall handsome young man, as if in a dream, strode close to her No, Marie, I'm not married. I've waited so long for you"
 And then uproar rose again. They danced They feasted. And Marie sat close to her mother, and looked and looked at that kind, strong, for giving face.
 And all the children fell asleer and were walked up again, and Ma rie's father roared with laughter
 Thus Marie La Farge came bacs to the village of Beauclairc and Jules.

.Luke's Christmas Money

Little Luke, watching his father lsplice rope, was suddenly struck with
 an idea. Its just one strand after another, isn't it dad?" Yes, just I one strand after another that makes the rope that holds the ship. It's ithe way most things are accomp- lssed, boy, when you come to think
 og it.
 1 4 cold wind blew around the fish
 shed back of the wharves. Other
 men were busy, too, tying snood- Knots on travis, hoping good day would come for fishing tomorrow. Luke walked away and up the ihill Christmas coming in a week! ] He knew his father and mother had
 been busy planning something for i his happiness then. But what had i he done? Nothing at all. He stood
 stock still, his thoughts all mixed up in a queer way. with the strands
 of rope that made the line, the i hundreds of snood-knots the fish
 ermen were tying. Just one thing done, and then another to make
 the whole" he reflected.
 Then, walking slowly again he seemed to see two one-dollar bills folded away in his pocket-book. And

 working hard to earn those two dol

 of work after another. What next? He took more steps. Money was earned by the work of one person to buy something which was the
 work of another. Luke smiled He
 knew what next" very well in- deed.
 So, on Christmas morning, though Luke was delighted with his own gifts, he had an almost dizzy pleas urc in watching his father and mother unwrap a pair of bedroom slippers and an apron he had given
 them. My potato money!" he shrieked T got it by doing one thing after another just the way the

Andy had heard the tale so often that every
detail was ground into his reluctant brain

had come to Andy Brown. For some barren
acres, a great oil company had paid him
enough money to make possible the fulhlment

What if the money he had sent
