H(lW PROPER SENSE OF
= - SMELL MAY RE

How PROPER SENSE OF
n = SMELL MAY BE
RESTORED TO HUMANITY.
-At Etretat, noted French port,
it is the custom for each herring
boat to take on board a man
whose sense of smell is so acute
that he can detect the presence
OF a shoal of herrings by it's
means, and can even, so Cap
tain Irwin tells us in Fish
ing Gazette, discriminate be-
tween herrings and dogfsh!
Such nose would be simply in
valuable to entomologists, en-
gagged in investigating insect
scents, work in which keen.
discriminating nose is absolute
ly essential. The experimenter
first lightly breathes on the but
terfy or other insect, or else
strokes it with camel-hair pen
ell. Then he holds 1t with open
wings close to his nostrils, and
inhales gently, but is careful not
to sniff. A bewildering number
of scents has thus been de-
tected.
Naturally the power of smell
varies much in different people,
and would appear to be particu-
larry developed in the Chinese,
to whom Europeans are said to
smell like sheep. Efforts are
beginning to be made to train
the sense of smell in little chill
dren by making them guess the
names of flowers, ETC., from the
scent alone, and it will be inter-
esting to see how far it is pos
sible to educate this faculty,
which through neglect we have
permitted to deteriorate. Wheth-
err a highly developed nose will
prove an unmixed blessing must
be left to the coming generation
to decide.

Why Altman Must Have Good Hands


The newest tribute to the airman
is to say that he has "good hands,
and to imply that he manipulates his
machine as he would handle the reins
of horse with a sensitive mouth. The
analogy is not very appropriate. The
good hands" in the care are those of
the motorist. Good hands, combined
with light, quick feet, prevent the mo-
torist's chopping and notching his
gears, they prevent his starting away
with a jump, they enable him to change
speed noiselessly, to let in his clutch
so that the drive is taken up imper-
ceptibly; they prevent his tires from
having their studs stripped out, the
transmission strained, and make gear
box and differential last as long as the
CSC.

fatal.
Several persons in the crowd saw
him topple as he leaned from the win
dow to see the parade, and shouted
a warning to those below. Mrs. White
head either was too intent upon the
marching columns to heed the cries or
did not suspect their portent. Pro-
venzano's body came down squarely
upon her. An ambulance surgeon de-
clared she had been killed outright.
Mrs. Whitehead was siXty-fve years
