Lake Preston Times: Miss Stella
l.. Olston was rendered a position in
the schools of Madison a few days
ago. She expected to have charge of
music in the schools of Devils Lake.
N. d., but a like position at Madison,
so near home, looked good to her.
She Immediately opened communica-
ton with the authorities at Devils
Lake and received her release from
there in time to accept the work at
Madison. Accordingly she went to
Madison on Sunday where she took
up her new duties on Monday. We
believe hat she will make a success
of the undertaking in every way.

upon the mental and physiological con-
stitution Of man. Some appeal TO his
imagination; some affect the sensuous
side Of his nature; others stimulate his
mind; others deaden all mental and physi.
cal effort. Some of these scents have the
peculiar property Of inducing illusions
and Authorizations of the senses, and for
this purpose they were used In the sacred
temples Of the Egyptians and Hindus.
Divination or fortune-telling was per
formed under their influence; ecstasy and
provision were attained; prophecy was
frequently induced under their influence.
Scents and perfumes are adapted to
different individuals and personalities.
The petite blonde woman should use a
different scent than the brunette; the Ian.
guild, sensuous beauty should indulge in
perfumes forbidden to the demure wom-
an, or TO one having a lively tempera-
ment. Blue and brown-eyed women
should use different scents. Even the
various rooms OF house should be per
fumed differently. The hall, the dining
room, the parlor. the bedroom, all should
have their distinctive and individual
odors. They should not be too strong, but
should be typical OF the room they
specify.

~ ERFUMES have always exercised
mystical yet potent influence upon

studied its effects They also utilized its
various magical properties in their re-
ligious rites and ceremonies. The So
called sacred sleep" was induced by the
aid OF perfumed smokes-in which state
the pythoness used to deliver her clair
voyant and oracular discourses and
prophecies.
In view OF the extraordinary properties
possessed by odors, It seems strange that
our modern science has paid so little
attention to them. Yet this is a fact.
Let us see If we cannot throw some inter
esting sidelights on this important and
interesting question.
Everybody may be said to give of a
certain odor or perfume which is distin-
guishable TO one Of keenly trained sense.
thus, white and black races differ in

bodies also differ essentially. Animals

Distressing Peame of Mrs. Alma Little Whose Husband Charges Her With Having Neg
Wrong Q Complexion and Golden Hair

Little has any of the characteristics
of the negro race. but nevertheless
the lack of them would not be proof
that she has no negro blood in her
veins. When science faces q prob
lem like that presented by this case
II has to confess how comparatively
little It really knows about heredity.
at has been asserted that chemi.
cal examination of the blood will
show whether person has negro
ancestry, even though II be many
generations before; but do not be.
lleve that this Is a reliable test !
do not think that II has worked out
accurately.
"As a matter OF fact, we know less
about the hereditary characteristics
of the negro than we do Of the other
races. II seems to me that much
good could be done for the negro by
making a thorough study OF the race
with view TO obtaining more scien.
tifc data along this line. II would
in the end prove more helpful than
he giving of great sums for the
education Of the negro.
at has been said. for instance, that
in mixed marriages only the unfavor-
able characteristics of the negro re-
main; but this has not yet been
proved scientifically, and personally
do not believe II to be a fact"
All that Professor Boas and other
scientists have to say on the subject
makes It plain how impossible it is
in the present state Of our knowledge
of heredity for any one to prove his
purity of descent.
A man may possess all the char.
acteristics Of the purest blooded
white, and still may have In his veins
strong strain of the negro or the
Chinese. This strain, which during
the present generation gives no out
ward sign OF it's existence. Is likely
to crop out among his children in the
shape of pronounced negro or Chinese
characteristics.
Science so frankly confesses its
inability TO determine the purity OF
a persons blood that Mrs. Little will
be forced to abandon her plan OF
meeting her husbands charges with
analysis Of her blood and other scien-
tific tests.
II this golden-haired blonde really
has negro blood in her veins, not a
husband in the world can feel as
suEed that his wife is not a negress
Until science knows a great dea
more about the secrets OF hereditJ
than 1t now does, he can never b
certain whether she is white, black
brown or yellow.

RTHUR C. LITTLE. a drug

A RTHUR c. LITTLE, drug
"A gist, of No. 1919 Joseph Cam
pau avenue, Detroit, Mich,
has begun suit for divorce from his
wife, Mrs. Alma Boone Little, on the
ground that she has negro blood in
her veins, which she concealed at the
time Of the marriage.
This divorce case gives new inter-
est to some Of the most curious ques-
lions in anthropology and makes 1t
plain how impossible 1t is for any
so-called white man to prove that his
wife is not a negress, or that his own
veins do not contain negro blood.
Your personal appearance may
show all the characteristics of the
white race, and yet you may have
negro blood. On the other hand,
your complexion may be dark, your
hair kinky, and your feet fat, and
yet you may be Of the purest white
descent. Science has failed to dis.
cover any infallible method Of deter
mining to what race a man or woman
belongs.
The distinctions between the true
negro and the true Caucasian types
extend to every structure and every
form Of the body, but very few white
persons are perfect types. There
must be thousands of whites in Eu-
rope and America, who have remote
negro ancestors. No marked dis
elimination has been shown in Eu.
rope against marriages with negroes,
and as Africa is a very short dis
lance from Europe, these marriages
must have been going on for
ages.
Moreover, science has proved that
In prehistoric times race with
negro characteristics lived In the
South Of France and other parts. 1t
Is probable that many descendants of
these people are now living, and
that though they may be of negro
descent, they may not be Of African
descent because their race originated
in Europe.
If you think over the list of your
friends, you will probably find that
many have something of the char
acteristic negro protruding Jaw and
fat nose. and that a few Of them.
perhaps, have the negro's kinky hair.
You may even find other negro char
acteristies by careful examination in
persons who at first sight appear
serfectiy white.
So 1t will be seen that the case
offers possibilities of a scientific
controversy more far-reaching than
the discussion Of insanity in the
Thaw case.
Mrs. Little, who is a pronounced

her veins. On the other hand, this
cannot be considered absolute proof.
A cross section Of her hair might be
a perfect oval and yet she might have
q large percentage OF negro blood in
her veins.
1--WE know that the eyes Of negro
have certain characteristics; like
wise his nose, his lips and his jaw.
His teeth are set in q different way
from that Of other races. The pig
mentation in the skin is another Inn
portant thing to be taken into con-
sideration in proving the presence
or absence of negro blood. But ex-
perience and tests have shown that
a person OF mixed blood may have
several OF the characteristics Of one
race and other characteristics Of an
other race.
at is impossible to attempt to set.
tie the question by relying on one
feature or one characteristic alone,
because, as everybody knows, you
often find among certain races one
or more features which are commonly
described as characteristics of en-
tirely different races; and yet you
would be unable to say that the per-
son in question had in his veins the
blood of the nation Of which this
special feature Is a characteristic.
1.-THE characteristics Of the negro
race, like those Of every other race,
may run through many generations.
There are many of them which are
quite pronounced besides those
have mentioned.

AS there is a very

blonde, and apparently OF strictly
Caucasian features, says that she
will call Professor Franz Boas, the
noted New York anthropologist, to
prove that she has not negro blood.
Mr.. Little, on the other hand, de-
clares that he will call scientific ex-
perts and other witnesses to prove
that his wife is of colored parehtage.
Professor Boas is professor of an
thropology at Columbia University
and curator in anthropology at the
Metropolitan Museum of Natural
History. He has studied strange and
civilized races all over the world.
Already he has made a preliminary
examination of the Little case, and
makes this statement about it:
GAS every scientist knows, each
race has certain characteristics, and
In the event of a marriage of per-
sons of different races, the charac-
teristics of either race may predomi-
nate in their children. Character
istics Of one race which may not be
at all apparent in one generation
may be strongly so in another.
IF Mrs. Little, whose case is now
attracting so much attention, has any
OF the characteristics of the negro
race, 1t ought to be easy to find them
by close examination. Yet she may
have negro blood in her veins and
show few or none of the character
istics OF that race. 1 have seen
octoroons who apparently had none
Of the characteristics of the negro.
Science finds the hair the most
reliable means of telling to what race
a person belongs. 1t is possible by a
microscopic examination of a cross
section Of the hair to determine with

Perfumes are not only suited to the
person who wears them, or to the room
