Young sLteverns . Genius” Started
Vast Business That "Floats On 'Soapsuds"
Just ninety years ago, wlteit soap
was .still a highly -taxed •lttxtuv;' a
nine-year-old Bolton schoolboy ad-
ded another extension to his rabbit -
hutches and had a brainwave. If
he put four incurs of soil on top of
the hutches and planted wheat, he
decided, the crop would mean
cheaper rabbit food.
Shortly afterwards the young-
ster, William Ilesketh Lever, found
himself cutting and wrapping soap
in his father's grocery business, and
that gave him another idea. Soap
was theft sold in long factory bare,
which the grocer sliced to suit the
customer, Supposing one could en-
sure a pure soap and sell it ready-
wrappe d?
Colossal Development
It's still less than seventy antaz-
iug -years since Lever went into
business with his brother. Idis first
soap was made in a hired factory
with a capacity of only twenty tons
a week. , Vet today the organization
he founded sells over a million tons
of soap a year, two-thirds of all
the soap sold in the British Em-
• pire writer L. W. Phelps Orion
in t'Answ'ers.'•
On this ocean of soapsuds floats
Britain's biggest business firm , , ,
a 2273,000,000 corporation interest
ed in. everything from palm oil to
penny candles, from Choc-ice to
• chicken noodle soup. Althaugh ten
per cent. of the world's soap output
is Lever -made, soap represents only
a fraction of their 2800,000,000 au-
rical turnover,

This Wall May Stand
For 2000 Years
One than has changed the face
of London,
When 44 -year-old John Datsoit,
a Cornish mason, heard that he had
been chosen to build the fine new
river wall that bounds the Festival
of Britain site on the south bank.
of the Thames, he rolled up his
shirt -sleeves. Now he has finished
his enormous task ahead of sche-
dule.
Every 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
toes of granite.
It toots 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 ettrve of the wall and num-
bered to fit into the predetermined
position on John Datson's working
prints. Even then he had to dress
some of the stones himself—and
the granite is the hardest in the
world.
One of the labourers fell from
the staging and was drowned. A
would-be rescuer nearly suffered
the sante fate when be found he
could not swim against the fast -
flowing ebb tide. After the tragedy
Datsou worked on doggedly. A
recent test showed the wall to be
dead level and his work accurate
to one -sixteenth of an inch,
When the Victoria Embankment
was built eighty years ago, backed
against brickwork, 0 was consi-
dered one of the wonders of the
world. The new south bank wall
.is backed by.. reinforced concrete,
and 130,000 torts of debris from
blitzed buildings tills in the reclaim-
ed land to a depth of 110 feet.
Most of Datsr/'s careful wild pa='"" "5 '

The foundations of the wall are

"Pound A Word" For
Swearing Parrots
One of The' strangest societies
in the world has been founded to
discourage the teaching of smear
words to parrots! . The society
claims to have "affected the lives"
of more than 180 parrots. It has
220 members.
Some people, however, prefer a
parrot capableof omitting a few
lurid oaths. A London pet shop
owner recently tadvertised for talk-
ing parrots, and announced that he
was willing to pay 21 for every
separate swear word the birds could
habitually utter.
Ile is said to have paid 250 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 tate
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 does not begitt
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
all fear of a sudden stream of in-
vective or of sentences unfit for
polits ears is avoided.
Not long ago police in Durban,
South Africa, rushing into a house
from which arose the cries of
"Murder! i\Iurderl"
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 on pub-
licity.
Recently a green and red parrot
escaped front his cage.
He flew into the gardens of Marl-
borough House, Queen Mary's
Landon residence, and there he
