Young Lever's Genius Started Vast Business That "Floats On Soapsuds" " Just ninety years ago, when soap was still a highly -taxed luxury, a nine-year-old Bolton schoolboy ad- ded another extension to his rabbit - hutches and had a brainwave. 1f he put four inches of soil on top of the hutches and planted wheat, he decided, the crop would meati cheaper rabbit food. Shortly afterwards tite young- ster,. William Hesketh :Lever, found himself cutting and wrapping soap in his father's. grocery business, and that gate hien another idea. Soap 'wars their sold ie long factory bars, which the grocer sliced to suit the customer. Suppoein;g one could eti sure (1 pure scr0p and sell it ready - ‘r rapped?

Yet today the organization he founded sells over a million tons of soap a y000, two-thirds of all the soap sold in the British Em- pire writer L. W. Phelps — (Won in "Answers." On this ocean of soapsuds floats .13rrtatn's biggest business fern . a £27,3,000,000' corporation interest- ed in cverythang from palm oil to penny candles, from clroc-ice to cltickett noodle soup, Although ten per cent. of the world's soap output is Lever -made, soap represents only a fraction of their £S00,0011,000 au - until turnover. Last year Lever .Brothers tend Unilever also produced nearly 2,- 500,000 tons of vegetable and animal oils, 981,000 tons of margar'ne, £40.000,000 worth of cocoa, and about £.15,000,01)0 worth of toilet preparations, They handled 706.000 torus of pea- nuts --compare this with the meagre 2,000 toes yield of the Gocern- • nlent's peanut scheme -- and in crushing copra, paler kernels and other oil crops they conjured up 2,000,000 toes of cattle food,. They shipped dates out of Iraq and leather across the Sahara. They sold carpet wool from the tails of desert sheep and exported rumba records to the Congo.

Fish and Sausages At one time fish shops always sold sausagcis — so Leverhulme acquired 011 interest in the'('. Wall sausage company.

Now he has finished his enormous task ahead of sclre= dole. lca•ery piece of the $1,000,000 worth of ,.Penryn granite facings used in the wall has been laid by him, with assistance only from la- bourers. He worked so steadily that sometimes he ran out of stone and had to wait for new deliveries. Altogether he handled over 3,000 tons of granite. It took eighty masons to cut and dress enough stone in the quarries to keep him going. Each block had to be cut to fit the vertical curve of the wall and num- bered to fit into the predetermined position on John Mason's working prints. Even then he had to dress some of the stones himself—and the granite is the hardest in the world. pee of the labourers fell from the staging and was drowned. A would-be rescuer nearly ' suffered the sante fate when he found he could not swim against the fast - flowing ebb tide. After tha tragedy Mason worked on doggedly. A _recent test showed the wall to be dead level and his evork accurate to one -sixteenth of an inch. \Viten the Victoria Embankment was built eighty years ago, backed against brickwork, it was consi- dered one of the wonders of the world. The new south bank wall is backed by reinforced concrete, and 130,000 tons of debris from blitzed builcliirgs fills in the reclaitn- cd land to a depth of 110 feet. Most of I)atson's careful and pa- tient 'wort: was done below the level of the Thames. For each sec- tion a coffer -dam was sunk, like a great metal box driven by powerful pile ltaiiuners deep through the river -stud 'to the blue London clay. The foundations of tete wall are 36 feet below the bed of the river. John Watson looks with pride at the bulwarks and stairways of his river 10a11. Over 1,80(1 years agcy Hadrian signed orders for a wall to be built between 1"teglend and Scotland; and now it is just a stretch of rubble.

Word" For Swearing Parrots One of the strangest societies in the world hats been founded to discourage the teaching of se ear words to parrots. The society claims to have "aaffected the lives" of more that( 1811 parrots. It hasp 220 members. Some people, however, prefer 0 parrot capable of omitting a few lurid oaths. A London pet shop owner recently advertised for talk- ing parrots, and announced that he was 'twilling to pay &:1 for every separate swear word the birds could habitually utter. He is said to have paid :x'50 for one bird that swore so fast and steadily all the doors and windows had to be closed so that the police couldn't hear, Many people consider parrots the most delightful and entertaining companions and spend hours teach- ing them new words. It is best to get a young but acclimatised bird about eighteen months old from a reliable dealer, and undertake its entire education oneself. A talking parrot sloes not begin speaking until the end of its sec- ond year. Its choice of words and conversation, therefore remain en- tirely. in the owner's hands, and al! fear of a sudden stream of in- vective or of sentences unfit for polits ears is avoided. Not long ago police 111 Durban, South Africa, rushing into a )rouse from which arose the cries of "Murder! Murder!" They found a quite hysterical parrot out of its. cage and hope- lessly entangled with a ball of wool, clinging to the window edge and shrieking its head off! Parrots seem to thrive 00 pub- licity. Recently a green and red parrot escaped from his cage. He flew into the gardens of Marl- borough House, Queen Mary's London residence, and there he stayed till photographers and ee- porters arrived. To have been found in any other garden 100010! have meant obscuri- ty, but since it was Queen Mary's garden the parrot's escape was paper on both sides of the Atlantic. An elderly woman was taught bridge. One evening_ while arrange ing her cards, she dropped one and, picking it up, observed: ".Nee one saw that king, did they?" "Hush, Granny," said her part- ner.
