HOW SCENT is MADE.

There are several methods of maxi
ing scent. The cheap and nasty way
is by mixing chemicals together to
counterfeit the odor of flowers. This
is how the low-priced and inferior
scents are derived from the flowers
themselves. The blossoms are spread
on glass thickly coated with pure
grease and exposed to the sun. AS
they wither the flowers are removed
and replaced again and again by
fresh ones until the grease has be-
come charged with the fragrance.
Another process is by constantly in
fusing flowers in oil, and a third by
sleeping them in ether. This last
method is the most expensive of all,
and produces the finest results. BY
the way, you may like to know that
some of the best kinds of scented
soaps are made from the flower
scented grease. After all the scent
possible has been extracted from it
by STEPPING it in spirits it is still
fragrant enough to make toilet soap.

CARS VICT0RI-
GUS ON FOURTH

Details gathered during the week
following Independence Day indi-
cate that "The Fourth" OF 1912
was easily the biggest day that the
United States has ever known in the
number and variety OF automobile
contests which marked its celebra-
ton.
The two big meetr of the cele-
bration were at opposite extremes
OF the country, Tacoma, Wash, and
Old Orchard Reach. Me. In addi-
ton, however, there were local
track races and hill climbs all over
the country, particularly in the far
west and south. Motorists on the
Pacific Coast, and those interested
from the buying standpoint watch
ed with particular care the light
car race at Tacoma, in which was
entered a very representative field
including two Fords, two Stude-
bakers, an Oakland and others. as
well rs the 1910 Maxwell car
which recently amazed all beholders
by winning the light car race at
Santa Monica. The event turned
out a sweeping Studebaker victory,
Evans and Tower finishing first and
second, each driving the 100.miles
at a rate faster than a mile a min
ute.
At Old Orchard Beach Studebak-
er EMF go" driven by Burke and
entered by Charles Simerson of West
Hoboken. n. !. scared all COMPETE
tors out OF the races to which it
was eligible, winning three events
bv the walkover route. Burke made
a fatal mistake by showing his car
at speed, in practice.
Studebaker cars also swept the
card at the Memphis meeting, win
ming three out OF four races and
taking second in the fourth after
suffering from a foul which caused
the disqualification OF a 9O-horse
power opponent. Driver Gibbs and
his Studebaker Flanders 90 won
in their class and in the class for 80
H. p. cars. Driver Dunnivan in an
other Studebaker 800" won the race
tor 4O.H. p. cars and under.

Party at the Primary to be held
August 3fd, 1912.
The political situation in this
congressional district is in a
complicated state of affairs.
Not alone in the congressional
district but in the appellate dis
trict as we'll. June % was the last
day ON which candidate could
enter the race for a nomination
Co he voted on in the coming pri-
mary to be held August 3rd, and
at this time there was only one
candidate from each party for
the nomination for congress from
the eleventh district and two
from each party for the office Of
Appellate Judge. Since that
time there have been rumors and
reports circulated of candidates
from different parts of the con-
gressional district who would be
in the race against Hon. Caleb
Powers. One reports from Bell
County TO the effect that Hon.
f. G.. Asher, representative to
the Legislature from the 93rd
district, would become a candi-
date unless Mr.. Powers denounc
ed President Taft, whom he de-
clares has ignored Mr.. Powers in
the matter of the distribution of
federal patronage.
Sundays papers contained a
statement sent out from Will
iamsburg to the effect that
County Attorney j. @. Bird, of
Whitley County would probably
be candidate for the office of
Congressman from this district
on the Progressive ticket, inso-
much as he was a strong factor
in the recent Roosevelt move
ment in that county. Other re
ports have it that Middlesb oro
will furnish a candidate for this
same office, but so far as learned
have yet to decide on their man.
1t has been reported that Mr..
Chas. Herd, who has been Mr..
Powers private secretary, would
oppose him, and also that State
Senator Joe F. Bosworth wus IA
probability.
On Monday Mr. Theo. b. Blak-
ey announced his withdrawal
from the race for Appellate
Judge against Mr.. A. j. Kirk
leaving the latter clear field so
far as a Republican opponent
will be concerned. This an
nOuncement came somewhat as Il
surprise to his friends in this
city, as he was here last Satur-
day and seemed to be very en-
thusiastic about his prospects of
election.
1t is now too late for any other
candidate to announce against
Mr.. Kirk, so he will have easy
sailing the rest of the way. The
came conditions exist in the Con-
greSsional race, as the new Pri-
nary Election Law was constru-
ed to knock out all boilers, and
it is hard To see just how all these
prospective candidates expect TO
make the race in the coming
election. One thing is certain, 10
is impossible 10 get on rhe prl-

now certified by the Secretary Of
State and in the hands of the

Ring generalship ana the ability

Wednesday night when the boys

For the first seven rounds the
lead was all McFarland's, while
Hogan fought cautiously, saving
his strength for a whirlwind nm

bolt, and Hogan had all the bet

however, seemed to lack the class

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. z. -
California is getting ready to let
the voters of the state decide
whether they want prize fighting
or not.
A prize fight petition" is be-
ing circulated throughout the
state and if enough signatures TO
it are secured will put the sport
up to the people at the next gen.
eral election and IL they vote
against boxing it will mean that
the sport will go the way or
horse racing.
If the proposed law Is enacted
by the electors of the state, ANA
teur as well as professional box
ing will be prohibited. 1t seems
calculated to put the ban on all
kinds of sparring exhibitions,
even of the mildest sort. 1t would
provide that anybody who boxes
for any kind of prize would be
in bad" This provision IS
broad enough to include amateur
boxing.
Under the proposed law, even
il a man agreed to box for MOTH
ing yet he would be unable to 90
so If any charge was made for
admission. So no matter how you
take 1t, the law would put the
fighting game out of business II
it were enforced.

that anybody who Is connected in
any way with contention. fight,

as well as ordinary boxing con-

1t is to the women, the new vo,-
ers in the state, that the anti
hight people are looking to pu,
the fight game out of business.
The people backing the proposed
law feel sure that as a whole the
women are with them. But Tom
McCarey, fight promoter of Los
Angeles, disagrees with them.
II am willing to leave the fate
of boxing in California TO the
women voters" says McCarey.
1T Is not their opposition that is
to be feared by lovers of the
game In this state.
My experience Is that women
when voting do not act from pre-
JUDGE; but carefully investigate
the questions upon which they
are not fully informed. All we
ask Is such an investigation.

ways open to women and nothing
