The rubber wrappers could be colored any desired hue. Overcomes Defects. According to the inventor, many attempts have been made to turn out rubber wrapped cakes of soap commercially, but with no success. The rubber coating would not stick to the cake properly. Cakes of soap so coated would stick together and the rubber would bleed or run into the soap and discolor it By his novel method, however, he claims these defects are overcome. Soap Cakes Sprayed. The cakes of soap are sprayed with or dipped into an aqueous solution containing rubber, sulphur, aczinc oxide and an ultra-rapi- d celerator. Coated with this solution, cakes then go into a drying chamber, and finally into a vulcanizing chamber. Because of the ultra-rapi- d accelerator, vulcanization takes place quickly and at low temperatures so that the cake of soap is unaffected. In this manner, claims the inventor, an adherent rubber coating is formed over the cake of soap which snugly fits every indentation and contour so that trade-mark- s and designs impressed in the soap appear very clearly and present an attractive since 1931. discoveries Legend, Mythology and Superstition Among the Chinese . two to five of an inch thick, waterproof coating of rubber, if a method of coating cakes with rubber for which a patent has been granted in Washington to J.

Prepared for any emergency, the Chinese have shown what they could do in a pinch by creating deities for submarine, automobile, phonograph, wireless, radio, aviation and television activities. Buddhism, accepted out of India, brought with it a deity today known throughout China as Kwan Yin, one who hears and is moved by the world. Legend has it that this personality about to enter heaven after death heard a cry of anguish from earth, and, with one foot on the threshold of paradise, turned back in pity, to be of service. In was repthe early stages Kwan-Yi- n resented as a man, but during the Tang Dynasty, 618 A. D., a sentimental official with powers to change even the word of Buddha announced that Kwan Yin thereafter would appear on all historical scrolls as a woman. Goddess Made to Order Her throne is on the island of Pootoo, two days out of Shanghai, where she arrived, according to the legend, floating on the leaf of a water lily, and there today is her image. If ever a goddess was made to order for Chinese patrons, Kwan Yin, first woman to deplace a popular male idol, is perhaps the best example. While on this subject the attention of the Authors League and men of the pen generally should be called to Confucianism, which is the religion of the profound, bookish and philosophical, so to speak. Wen Chang, the special Confucian cabinet officer in charge of literature, is always shown in the society of four other gentlemen, one of whom is deaf and another dumb, as a precaution against hearing or imparting secrets of the administration. The third distributes such coveted degrees as seem appropriate in the eyes of the literati. The fourth is known as Mr. Red hanger-o- n Coat, whose life is devoted to boost- s ing authors, poets and who, failing in all other intellectual endeavors, have taken up creative literature. It is the function of Mr. Red Coat, when all seems lost, to merely nod his head, thus winning for the literary flop a certificate of membership among authors who really sell their stuff. Wen Chang is also worshiped by potential mothers, the analogy having something to do with children born of the body as well as the brain.

China's Marble Dreadnaught Take the famous Marble Boat, moored forever on a solid granite foundation. This craft, which lifts Its superstructure 30 feet into the air, and thrusts forward a blunt-nose- d marble prow, was built after a conference between the Dowager and some of the best spirits available at the time. To construct and launch this utterly worthless feature the Dowager laid her strong but uncontrollable hands on the sum of $30,000,000 that had been appropriated for the construction of a Chinese r.avy. The general opinion was, and is, that the marble ship, which to this day continues to behave in the manner of somethin." stuck in a pool of cement, is entirely responsible for Chinas defeat at the hands of Japan In 1804.

Y., is todays Distinguished and he shows up here at the club meeting rooms with the story of the world's most hectic solo flight. Charley took that flight in November, 1929, and it had quite a few unusual features. Though Charley was just a beginner at the flying business though it was his first trip through the air he managed to make a power dive and to loop the loop six times. CHARLES And speaking of solo flights this was the solo-eof them all. For Charley not only didnt have any passengers up there aloft with him he didnt even have a plane. Charley had been up in tire air before, plenty of times, but he'd always had something to hang onto. He is a steeplejack by trade, and he thinks nothing of dangling thirty or forty stories from the street, just so long as theres a scaffold, or a bosuns chair under him. But this particular time Im going to tell you about, Charley was out on his own. No scaffold. No bosun's chair. No nothing! Off on a Tumble. Takes Charley Charley had been painting the coping at the top of a twenty-fou- r story building on street, in Manhattan, and was sort of mopping up after tire job. He was dangling on his bosun's chair ten or fifteen feet below the roof, washing away the paint that had dripped on the bricks below the coping. lie was using a strong acid to get the paint olf and well 1 said a little while ago that Charley didnt take anything at all along with him on his solo flight. 1 was wrong. He did take something. He took that pail of acid. Can you imagine anything worse to have around when youre power diving and looping the loop? Neither can Charley! There were a couple other lads in the crew with him, each of them cleaning a strip of brick about six feet wide. Charley had just finished one strip and was pulling himself up to the roof again to resling his bosuns chair. He got up to the coping was reaching out with his right hand to catch hold of it, when all of a sudden things began to happen. The rope he was pulling slipped out of its block. The bosun's chair began to fall. Charley tumbled over backwards and went t -with twenty-fou- r stories to go before he'd hit the street st Fifty-sevent- h w-'- Acid Pail Adds to Falling Mans Peril. That's when Charley took up stunt flying. He went into as pretty a series of loops and Immelmann turns as you ever saw in your life. He turned six somersaults, one right after another. There was a cloth- - The Acid Pail Hit the Window Sill and Spattered Him with B'icry Fluid. covered scaffold about thirty feet down, put there to keep the paint and acid from falling on the street, and he went past that like a bat out of Hades. Then he stopped looping and went into a power dive-h- ead first straight for the pavement About six stories down, Charley saw a rope dangling In front of him a rope that hung from the cloth scaffold almost down to the street level. He grabbed for It with both hands. He might even have held onto it if it hadnt been for that pail of strong acid hed been nsing. It still hung In the crook of his left arm, and in all his looping and somersaulting, centrifugal force had kept it from spilling. Now It hit on a window sill. Acid flew In every direction, but most of It landed on Charleys bead. It burned like the devil. It got in bis eyes and all but blinded him. Its fumes made him choke. His bands tore loose from the line, and he began falling again. This time, though, be was falling feet first. Down down he went, and while he fell he fought to clear his head. HI jmarting eyes were tight shut, but he forced himself to open them. Eve when he did, he coudnt see clearly, but there was a long, snaky blur swaying In front of him and he knew that must be the line he had just let go of.

And while the rope burned through his He grabbed hands, tearing the skin from them, he got busy with his feet and wrapped two turns around his right leg. That brought him to a stop a sudden jarring slop that almost broke his leg and almost tore his arms out of their sockets. And there Charley hung, blinded and dizzy from his fall through the air. When my eyes cleared for a moment, he says, I found myself In front of a window about half way up the side of the building. There was an iron knob by the window the kind window cleaners use to book their safety belts on and I reached out, caught It with two fingers and drew myself In. I rested my left foot on the sill, but my right leg was caught In the rope so tightly that I couldnt get It out, One of the men up above lowered his bosuns chair, but I couldnt get ento It My head was spinning like a top and I didnt dare let go of that knob, I shook my head, trying to clear it It only made me dizzier, Plane-les- s Stunt Flyer Wisecracks With Doom. But through one of the worst frights a man ever got Charley still managed to keep his sense of humor. The men up above were yelling What floor are you on? down to him.

I wonder how many professional comedians could turn off a window sill, a dozen pat one like that, standing on a three-incatorlcs up from the street, bruised, dizzy and smarting with acid burns. The birds up above had to find out for themselves what floor Charley was on. It was the twelfth. They went down there and hauled him in and a doctor washed the acid off Charley and looked him over. Nothing but a strained ligament, he said, and a few burns and bruises. That's pretty good, too, for a lad who goes stunt flying without a plane. h WNUBsrvlc.
