It is said that the measurement of a Nation's civilization is known by the amount of soap they use.

The American nation today is the leader of civilization, and the only nation on earth with bath tubs in practically every house, and with its public bath houses everywhere.

The ancient Greeks were distinguished for their daily bath, not only in time of peace, but also in time of war.

The Greek American of this country does not feel proud of his folks back in the old country. In meetings and conversations, with timidity and embarrassment, he hears that present day Greece does not parallel ancient Greece in regards to the bath. He meekly expresses the desire that it would have been a thousand times better to have more bath tubs than bellfries and bells, and he seriously contemplates taking the initiative to solicit contributions for the building of public bath houses in Greece. The enterprising Greek American of 2today is desirous and ambitious to exert every means to benefit the mother country, and once again to feel proud of his progenitors.
