Industry Which Dates Far Into the

The manufacture Of perfumes in In
dia is an industry which probably
dates back to the dim ages OF the
past for the native Of India dearly
loves perfumes His tastes, however,
are not those of the European. and
indian scents do not commend them
selves to Europeans for the reason
that they are heavy" in the sense
that they are not volatile. Indeed, the
effects Of the Indian perfumes are gen.
orally overpOWerin to the outsider
Moreover. the method employed by
the Indians to extract the perfume
from flowers IS peculiar, being always
in oils, They have no idea of "es-
s%ences," such as are manufactured by
European pcrfumers.
One reason for the heayiness Of In
dian perfumes is found in the vehicle
employed, which is sandalwood oil.
This Is not, strictly speaking. sandal.
wood oil, but the common sweet or
"~genjelly' oil employed as a vehicle
for extracting the perfume from san.
dalwood. and II is this oil that forms
the basis Of all Indian perfumes, and
which accounts for the heayincss re.
ferred to. The Indian pcrfImer has

Wouldn't Il Be Better?

The constitution of the United
States wisely provides that all meas
ures for the raising of revenue shall
originate in the house Of representa-.
tives. This is because the house Of
representatives is supposed to be
closer to the people than any other
body. Almost without exception our
experience has shown that when mat.
tiers like this are left to the state de,
partment the United States gets the
worst OF it. Wouldn't it be better to
adhere strictly to the spirit as well as
to the letter of the constitution and
let congress pass on all these mat,
tiers? Cedar Rapids Republican.

time a cellar should not be dusty dry.
Generally if a cellar is five feet under

two and a half feet above grade the
