The First Perfumes.

When you use perfume and call it
such, do you think how the name
came about? 1t means, in Latin,
'from smoke" and the name proves
that the first perfumes were only ar
omatic woods or gums that scented
the air when burned.

would give him a chance to compete

simple: "Do as the mail order man

HENRY FORD'S IDEA.

1t seems to be generally believed
that Henry Ford's jitney peace excur-
sion is the inspiration of an amiable
but loose reasoning mind. Mr.. Ford
is free from suspicion of unworthy
motives; he is not the paid agent or
any diplomatic intrigue, nor has he
undertaken his mission with the de-
liberate intention of injuring his u
try or any other country. Th~ehonesty
of his purpose is not questioned by
those who most deeply regret his mis-
chevious activities.
But the genesis of Mr.. Ford's idea,
could it be revealed, would be most in
teresting. He believes, we are in
formed, that it came to him as an in
SEPARATION. We should like to know the
source of its inception, a source that
is perhaps, even probably, hidden from
Mr.. Ford today. 1t is obvious to
whose advantage a peace concluded to-
day would be most advantageous. It
is equally plain that the Powers which
could say "We are ready for peace,
and if wal continues it will be the
fault Of our enemies" would acquire a
certain moral prestige; sufficient, it
might be, to relegate to comfortable
obscurity consideration of the question
"Who precipitated war;"
Unfortunately Mr.. Ford is not Of
an interpretive disposition. If he
were, he might throw a flood of light
on a number of perplexing problems.
