Seattle PoSt-InJenlgencer)
 The current inspection of Alaskan activities ey Robert Fechner national director of emergency co2- servation work, important double service
 It emphasizes the value of the Civilian Conser- vaton Corps, under attack by hostile Eastern groups in congress
 At the time it points out the varied prob lemS which Alaska still requires the aid of the Fed eral government.
 Work that CCC youths. whites, Indians and Eskl- mos are now doing in Alaska under an expanded pro- gram includes such diverse items building landing fields for airplanes and night shelter cabins for dog sled travellers; preservation of primitive Indian houses totem poles and other relics; protection of game and wild life in some sections because 1t provides food for natives and in others because these regions may be developed meccas for visiting sportsmen
 MT Fechners tour of inspection will help to ac- quaint him with Alaskan problems affecting wide range of governmental departments.
 Alaska's friends will hope that his visit VIII mean not only the continued work of eco enroees but the launching of program broad enough to include more of the territory's needs.

After the train had wrecked an automobile at a crossing, a pert young woman arose from the wreekage. Uninjured, she proceeded to powder her nose. The others gathered around.
 Why in the world didn't you stop when you saw the train coming?" the engineer asked.
 The young woman was indig- nant.
 "I sounded my horn before ycu blew your whistle" she re- tOrted defiantIy.

today. only on a large scale. Instead
OF using fat from animals, a great
deal Of toilet soap is made from fatty
plants like coconut, olive and cotton
seed oils. First. the pure oil is put
In huge vat and heated Then cold
soda-lye is added. and as the I've
changes the fats into soap. more is
added till all the fat and oil is used
up.
The soap is lighter than the other
stuff in the vat and floats on the
surface. It is drawn off to be made
into bars and to be treated and refined
into toilet soap washing powders, or
liquid soap.
Toilet soap is usually the best grade,
although it is often made by a very
simple process from coConut, castor
or palm oil and concentrated caustic
acid
Securing soap is made by adding
finely powdered quartz to the soap.
It is then placed in forms and allowed
to dry.
1t is easy to make a soap that
floats. 1t need only be beaten well
before it hardens. This encloses
enough air bubbles to make the soap
lighter than water. 1t also makes
q bigger bar of soap for the same
weight.
The usefulness of soap lies in the
fact that particles of dirt float away
in what is called an emulsion. OF
themselves, the chemicals in soap are
not very effective cleaners.

player draws the head of some living

and carries the neck lines lust over
the edge Of the fold Then he folds
the paper so that h drawing is hidden
except for the tiny neck lines. and
passes 1t to the player to his left, who
has not seen what he has drawn.
Each player then takes this new
paper and draws any sort of body on
the second fold, connecting it with the
neck lines, and carrying the bottom
lines OF his drawing just over the edge

When this is done. the papers are
again folded with the bottom third

reputation as one Of the best casters
in the city. He started fishing when
ne was years old and at the age Of
II joined the casting club. He was
IN his first tournament in 1882
Now at Is he's worked almost to
the top OF the heap, casting a score
OF 81 in the contests last year-only
one point below the highest tourna-
ment count. The only boy in the club,
he also placed second in two other
events, holding accuracy honors,
knowing how to cast skillfuIly IS
an advantage to any fisherman" he
says. Most people use the SIDE suIpe,
flcklng the reel from the side. right
to left. to place bait. The overhead
cast straight in front of you, which
we use, is more difficult. But when
you get on to 1t, there's good chance
OF laying your line down Just where
you want II"
This year Chuck is settling down to
master distance casting. Each differ

skill. This same sort of rod and reel
is not used for contest casting as for
fshlng. For the contests, a light

usual 9 TO II pound fishing line). and
special light reel of aluminium is
used. The reel should be the free
SPOOL sort, having a handle which
winds in direction opposite to that of
the line, thus offering least resistance
when you cast.

Chuck said, except that you've got to
have an educated thumb to control
your line. You hold your reel over on
the side and hold your thumb on the
line so it'll go fast or slow. q YOU
want it. It's this manipulation that
prevents back lashe5 of your line"
Last year Chuck tied with the pres

and won some fancy flies as prizes.
But he makes lots of them himself

stores. or from chicken hackle-the

enough, is to salt radishes. The device,

OIden Hand Wash
In Scented Water

THE custom of washing the hands
before eating dates as far back
as the beginning of formal dinner
giving. The early Egyptians, Greeks
and Romans made a ceremony Of
washing the hands in water from
small pitchers before each meal.
The Romans introduced the custom
of floating fragrant flowers in the
basin so the water would be pleasantly
scented. In Egypt, specially ap-
