New Liquid Soap Is Frothy
A new liquid soap, the latest byproduct of shale, has just been put on the market. While the soap was still in the experimental stage, the canteen staff of the makers’ works at Pumpherston, in Midlothian, acted as* “guinea pigs” and eventually pronounced the new soap to be excellent. One small Scottish boy near Edinburgh proved the effectiveness of the soap to his own satisfaction when, unobserved by his mother, he poured the whole of the contents of a large bottle into his bath. Immediately the water frothed up to such an extent that the bathroom had to be evacuated until the small mountain of soap suds had subsided.
