A Man Who Smells For a Living

There IS science Of smells, "osphresiOlogy"-it IS
nice odd looking little word to get acquainted with
and to come across ways Of making living is like
finding a new trail through the woods. The most
expert osphresiologist in the world is a HOander,
named Zwaademaker, an employee of a perfume fac
tory, who smells smells for living. Mr.. T., Who IS
the ultimate Judge of whether a smell is perfume
or Just SMELL divides smells off quite finely, into
alaoeOus (onion), musk aromatic, disgusting, emPy
reumatic Cunning leather trash), ethereal fragrant
Cbalsam), goat ike and nauseous
He does not mention that smell which some English
wit says is the best smell-no smell at all. Next to
come the smell Of mesquite knots fat pine burning
in smoky fireplace, the smell Of Volets which is like
breath Of heaven the smell Of fresh earth In sprng
the smell Of rain the desert.
There is nothing ike fragrance to quicken memory
Oliver Wendell Holmes says there is something par.
ticulary poignant in the fragrance Of lilac leaf buds
Certain agrances bring back thoughts Of all the spots
one has ever loved

ORIGINAL PASOANS OBJECTS TO BE EAH

to see some Of the cherished collections that adOrn
private homes.
The Womans club is doing now and has been doing
for long time work Of great public service IN not
only promoting public appreciation of good music good
literature, and the fine and liberal arts but also
couraging individual expression Expression is both
test Of art and also a means Of elevating It.
One may be competent critic without being creator
but certainly creator should be his own severest
critic Competition and criticism help to the
health Of art, if they do not do much to inspire
art There must be talent genius to do the inspiring,
but competition and criticism assist toward improve
ment in expression.
There will be rewards Of intrinsic value for those
who excel in their respective divisions the coming
local exhibit; but is intended to the awards
of merit The present plan is to have all exhibits
judged anonymously before the public exhibit and then
place the and notices of award the exhibits
However this part Of the arrangements has not been
completed.
The main object is to secure as many original local
art exhibits possible and comprehensive loan
exhibit possible There is opportunity to sur
prise ourselves with the wealth of art objects e. Paso
possesses in comparative secrecy.

the FL Paso Y NJ C. A victory in the great national
athletic contests FL Paso is so used to winnng-So

All the hundreds Of associations in the United States
were divided into three classes according to number
Of members FL Paso fell in class C. All associations

tests under identical rules that each association
was actually competing against all other associations
equal terms
In its own class, FL Paso took first place; but FL
Pasos score higher than that Of any association
in the class above FL PasO, which included all assoca
lions having less than 1900 members and more than
$50 And perhaps most remarkable of all, only three
cities in class A, the largest cities ahead Of FL
Paso so that El Paso took fourth rank among all the
associations in the United States. FL PasO also led
the whole state of Texas regardless of classification
Not only did FL Pasos Y. N. C. A. make 80 percent
Of the perfect score but many Of the individual
were among the very highest some being record
breakers
There IS a high advertising value in this sort Of
thing All 81 PasO is interested the results Of the
splendid publicity that results from such conspicuous
performances
But not the least important result Of the successful
competition is the demonstration it gives Of the fine
quality Of work being carried by the local assoca

IN the national contest has shown only from
above all, high enthusiasm in the membership

As 10 THE CRAWFORD SHOW

Editor FL Paso Herald
I have seen your editorials and puD-
locations in regard TO the new burlesque
show in town
Now II this ''burlesQue" show were to
appear in Chicago. no comment what
ever would be made as to its moral
character. Chicago, like many other
eastern cities, have shows Of this kind
left at the post.
FL Paso is a nice town and I like II,
but it certainly is behind the times
when IT comes to the show business.
I have seen the show at the Crawford
and 7 think it is a fair show, and I saw
the same bill in the east seven years
ago but the people themselves are to
blame for being so far behind They
make believe that they think the
show is unfit for a community like
this. and in reality they like the show
on account Of the humor and fun il
contains.
I win admit, though, that there are
little smutty jokes that could and
should be done away with in this
show.
They can hold the pubHc's attention
and gain its approval without that
questioned kind Of entertainment.

see it, kin IL or keep il going They
