.- Nearly all of central Nebraska rei
'ctived one-half inch of rainfall with
in the last 48 hours, according to re
ports received yesterday by M.' V.
Robins, .acting, Omaha weather
prophet. At 10 a. m. yesterday
it was still raining at Ashland and
Lincoln. '
-The roads between this city arid
Lincoln are in such a condition that
travel by automobile is difficult.
The rain did not damage the crops.
Cooler last -right and warmer to

WHY?
' Does Soap Cleanse Things?
(Copyrltht, 120. By the Wheeler
. Syndicate, Inc.)
. Even savage tribes -know that
the ashes of some plants, when
mixed with water, produce a
smooth, slippery feeling and ma
terially aid the cleansing prop
erties of the water itself. This
is due to the fact that the ashes
contain soda or potash, both of
which are excellent for wash
ing, but are likely to injure the
skin or eat into' the garments
which are being cleansed. Bnt
whether we use ashes, as did
our ancestors, or cake soap, as
we da today, the principle is
the same. The alkalis cut into
the dirt and grease and make it
easy for the water- to rinse it
away.
In the modern manufacture of
soap, fats glycerine, in combi
nation with what are known as
"fatty acids" are placed in large
iron vessels and. mixed,. with
some kind of oil, usually palm
oil, but tallow, olive oil. Cotton
seed oil and others axe also used.
A little caustic soda or potash
is then added and the mixture
is .boiled until nearly all the . oil
or fat has combined with the
soda or potash. In' the ftianu
fr.cture of toilet soap, common
salt is then added. This has the
effect of separating the water
and glycerine from the soap and
the latter rises to the surface,
where it is skimmed off. partial
ly dried out and cither cut or
pressed into cakes.
The addition of water to one
of these cakes of soap results
in . the formation of what we
know as lather soap In a ' semi
liquid state and this, seeping in
to the fabric or 'applied gener
ously to the hands or other parts
of the body, dissolves grease or
dirt of various kinds, permitting
it- to be. easily rinsed away by
the application of water.

THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1920.
Mr. McQueen Pays His Last Rent
' "1 li'lr rhnr narr nf it.no better.
than yourself," said Mr. McQueen, 1
but when 1 uwik oi tne years to
come, and Larry and Eileen' grow
ing up to work'as hard as we have
worked without getting much at, all,
and think of the better chance alto
gether they '11. have . over there,, sure,
I can't be thinking of the pain, but
only of the hope there, is iif it for
them."
"I've seen this coming ever since
the children told us about Grannie
Malone's letter." said Mrs. ' Mc
Queen.,."'Tis Michael has put this
in your head."
- " Tis not Michael alone," said Mr.
McQueen; . "'tis also , other things.
Tomorrow I pay Conroy the rent
money. And it will.tafte all that the
pig brought and. all I've been able
to rake and scrape myself, and noth
ing left over at all. And there's
but ourselves and the twins, and the
year has not been a bad one. ' We
have had the pig, which we wouldn't
be having another year. ' And what
would it be like if there were more
of us to feed, and no more pigs to
be found in the bog like manna
from heaven, to be helping us out?'
"Sure, if it's for the children,"
sobbed Mrs. McQueen, "I'd go any
where in the world, and that you
know well."
"I do know it," said Mr. Mc
Queen. "And since we're going at
all, let it, be soon. We'll go with
Grannie and Michael." '
"In two weeks' time?" cried Mrs.
McQueen. '
"We will so," said Mr. McQueen.
"I've no debts behind me, and we
can sell the cowg and hens, and
take with us whrtever we need from
the hduse. Michael Malone will
lend me the money and find me a
job when we get there. The' likes
ofhis chance will never befall us
again, and, faith, we'll take it."
"Did he tell you so?" asked Mrs.
a.
Mc Queen.
"He did, indeed."
"Well, then, I've no other word
to say, and if it must be done, the
sooner, the better." said Mrs. Mc
Queen. That night she lay awake a long
time. She was planning just what
they should take with them to their
new home and trying to think what
the new home would be' like.
The next morning Mr. McQueen
went to Mr. Conroy and paid the
rent. Then he said: "This is the
last rent I'll be paying you, Mr.
Conroy 1"
Mr. Conroy was surprised. "What
do you mean by that?" he said.
"I mean that I'm going to leave
old Ireland," said Mr. McQueen.
