hand into baskets and then carry them
to the factories, where they are divi-
ded and sorted.
As the women come from the ad-
joining fields they empty their loaded
baskets out on the floor until it is
knee deep in flowers, and to walk
across it would mean the crushing Of
thousands of roses. In one season a
single establishment uses 1900 tons
of orange blossoms, $50 tons of roses,
147 tons of violets and 127 tons of
quantities of scented woods.
After the sorting which is done at
long benches by scores of white
capped girls, the flowers go to the dis
tillery. Some yield their perfume
after distillation with water or steam;
others undergo what is called macera-
ton. In this process the flowers are
stepped in heated fat, where they are
left until all their fragrance is ex-
tracted. Next they are drained on
in wooden trays and fresh flowers are
added to the fat. The fat that has
absorbed the essence of the flowers is
called pomade, and is sent in this form
to perfumers all over the world, who
by means of alcohol extract it's sweet
ness.
The jasmine, tuberose and violet
are so delicate that they scarcely give
out any essence by distillation and
must be subjected to entieurage.
The most expensive perfume is, of
course, altar of roses, for it requires
no less than As pounds of rose leaves
to make one gram of oil.

Perfume Manufacture
a Poetic Industry

The history of perfumes is part
of the history of civilization itself
From the perfumed sails that waited
Cleopatra down the Nile to the scent
ed bath of milk that was the daily en-
j yment of the Empress Josephine,
or the sweet smelling fountains in the
royal palace at st. Petersburg in the
days of the Cars, the essence Of flow
ers has been indispensable to the lux
urious existence
The perfume center at the present
time is the quaint old French town of
Grasse, in the Maritime Alps, the
poetic industry of which is the basis
of it's prosperity.
In ascending to the town of Grasse
from the picturesque little station,
the visitor finds his path lying through
beautiful terraced plantations of jas
mine and the lovely Provence rose,
and past orchards of olive trees, be-
meath the shade of which are cult
waited violets. The area devoted to
flower culture covers 115,000 acres.
During the months of April, May,
June and July the fields are literally
alive with sunny faced men, women
and chandren gathering the fragrant
harvests. They pick the blossoms by

Pretty Plans for
An Announcement
If It's Before Rose Time,
Here's an Idea

There is no prettier function to be
given than the announcement lun-
cheon, when the happy girl invites her
dearest friends to her house to tell
them the good news, for there are so
many clever twists that may be given
to the way the hostess diyulges her
secret.
One girl, who was famous in her
crowd for her original ideas got the
idea for her lovely engagement lun-
cheon from an exquisite luna moth
that her young brother brought in to
her one morning from the garden. 1t
was the wonderful pale green of the
wings that appealed to her first. 1t
seemed the ideal color for an early
affair.
She bought several rolls of crepe
paper of that shade and cut from it a
luncheon set, using one of her own
linen ones for pattern. There was
the large centerpiece, the smaller
plate doilies, and the still smaller
tumbler doilies. Then, using the moth
for a pattern, she cut from the paper
several wings and fastened them to
little rolls of the paper for the bodies.
Those she suspended over the center
of the table from the chandelier, on
green silk threads of various lengths
In the center of the table was slen-
der pale green vase containing several
sprays of apple blossoms, and among
the branches were tiny green cocoons
wound with green sewing silk, strands
of which were extended to each cover
The first course was en- the table
when the guests sat down. 1t was
simply balls of canteloup cut from the

A 2OO-Year Job

At the present rate 200 years will
be needed to finish mapping the world.
Great areas remained unexplored and
little is known of millions of square
miles of land. By using the aeroplane
for map-making this work may be
done in the next twenty years. In
stead of climbing mountains and la
boriously measuring the land foot by
foot, we shall do the work while flying
a hundred miles an hour. A special
camera is placed in the bottom of the
car and photographs are taken auto
matically, so many to the second or
minute. These photos are then fitted
together in what is known as a mosaic
map which shows every house of
towns or cities and every road and
tree of the country. No such maps
have ever been made before The
aero map is one of the inventions of
the war which will prove Invaluable

times result in verdict of acquittal

melons with a round scoop made for
that purpose, iced and served in sher-
bet cups. Then there were salmon
croquettes, green peas, creamed pota-
toes and mint jelly; a butterfly salad
made of slices of cucumber cut in
half and arranged to represent wings,
a roll of cream cheese for the
body, and tiny threads OF pimento for
the attennae and ,pistache ice cream,
with little cakes iced in green.
At the end of the luncheon, when
each guest dislodged her cocoon at
the end of the silk, green tissue
paper moth was discovered inside,
with the name of the hostess written
on one wing and that of the fance on
the other.

I'D like to be a Malay boy, and
shoot parrots in the jungle with bow
and arrow instead of going to school
every day." announced Billy, who was
looking over" his geography lesson
preparatory to studying it,
We'll, that would be very nice, .
agreed his father. 81 tried that out
once in the. woods on grandfather's
farm, pretending that an old owl was
a parrot. The only trouble was that
by the time l had lost ali my arrows
and the owl, l mean parrot, had lost
himself in a hollow tree, l was five
miles away from home and it was a
long walk back"
But I'd ride back on my bicycle,
said Billy.
IF you were a jungle boy you
wouldn't need bicycle, because you
could run twenty miles without stop.
ping, and besides you wouldn't have
bicycle because they don't grow in
the jungles and all savage has is
what he finds growing, or can dig out
of the ground"
you see, Billy" continued his
father, "the difference between an
American boy and a Malay boy isjust
this. For about 1900 or 20G0 years, the
American boys fathers and grand
fathers and great grandfathers and so
on back, have been saving money and
making things in bigger and bigger
quantities instead of living off the
fruit they could pick or the birds and
animals they could kill day by day
1T would take one man a year OF
two to build a bicycle all by himself
but in a factory they turn out one
every minute or two"
''The reason why America has more
factories and railroads and more tele
phones and automobiles than any
other country is because we have
saved up the money to do things in d
big way and learned how to do them
that way.
"One persons saved up money
which is called capital, doesn't amount
to much, but the savings of 1000, 00C
are almost too big for figures.
Just the saving of the schooi
children of the country are enormous
because there are 2O,O00,0OO boys ant
girls in our public schools. The schoo
children working all together, are
doing things in the same big Amer
lean way that the grown ups are"
81 see," said Billy. Its like GULL
yer and the little people. One of then
couldn't have done anything, but al
together, they pinned him down"
"That's it." said his father. THAT:

and to save the money earned during

What one or two children save
don't make any difference, but what
they all save means millions. And as

Highest Mountain
AS Forest OutlOokS

The growing Importance of the for
est fire service has led the federal
government to adopt a standard type
of house for erection on lofty lookout
points commanding view to the sur
rounding region. AS many of these
houses have to be erected at distant
points that can be reached only with
pack animals, it has been found best
to have the timbers and boards cut
into short lengths and tied into handy
bundles that can be readily carried
on pack animals Even at this it is
considerable of a job to move one of
these knock-down houses to some dis
tant mountain peak up over a winding
trail, for the total weight of the lum-
Der, nails, bolts, and other materials
are needed for building enc of these
houses is in the neighborhood of 6400
pounds. A letter or number is placed
on each piece and thus the construc-
tlho OlISCl 10 y. tudDlSu W put
the house together when once the ma
terials have arrived on the site of the
| lookout
The main room of the house is IL
| feet square and has windows on all
sides for observation purposes. The
cupola that surmounts this room is
six feet square and also has con-
| tinuous band of windows besides be-
ing equipped with all the instruments
required for observation and report
Naturally as these lookout houses
stand in spots where the elements have
full play they are exposed to some
terrific storms. For this reason the
walls and floors are of double con-
struction, as the high winds would soon
drive the rain through building of
ordinary construction. To prevent
the houses from being blown away
bodily, they are securely anchored by
cables attached to each corner.
In the Columbia National forest
| standard lookout houses have been
erected at Mt. Adams, elevation 12,-
307 feet, and Mt. st. Selena, eleva-
| ton 9675 feet; in Rainier National
forest on Kiona peak, elevation 6100
feet; in the Cascade National forest
on Huckleberry Mountain, elevation
| EEAn ~, MOI fDr
est on Windy peak, elevations 1920
fleet; on Mount Mclaughlin elevation
$3.50 feet; on Rustler peak, elevation
5000 feet. On Rustler peak it was
necessary to perch the house on top
of a twelve foot tower in order to give
the necessary elevation.
The great value of the work done
bw these lookout men is anquestioned.
Time after time they have discovered
fires which soon might have gained
Roadway enough to have done tremen-
dous damage. The lookout man on
the summit of Mt. hood, at an eleva-
ton of 1925 feet, reported Sc fires
in 1917 and Ga in 1918 On two oc-
casions he discovered and correctly
located two fires at the foot of Mt
Adams, more than so miles away.
All but five of the fires that occurred
in 1917 between Mt. Jefferson and
the Columbia River, distance Of so
miles, were first discovered from the
Mt Hood lookout. These five small
fires were campfires that were not
put out, but they were discovered and
extinguished before they had gained
sufficient Roadway to cause any con-
siderable damage.

Largest Cheese

The largest cheese ever seen IN
New York City, weighing nearly
three and half tons and made from
10000 quarts of milk, one of the fea-
lures of the national milk and dairy
farm show, was cut by w. E. Dana,
president of the council of farms and
markets. The first fve-pound piece
was offered at auction and the pro-
ceeds given to the Red Cross.

Miss Katherine Mayo, one Of the best
known women in the world of letters,
has come into public notice again through
one of her works recently published. II
is a critical account of the work of the
Y NJ. c. A. with the A. E. F. in France.
and is said to be her most notable work.
Miss Mayo was born in Pennsylvania
and educated in Boston and Cambridge.
One Of the first things which brought
her fame was Justice to All" history
OF the Pennsylvania State police force

ever laid eyes on before. II looked awful
big, and 1t felt awful big-I blew"
With cool determination, Elliott start
ed for the Camden ferry as soon as he
left the Baldwin plant. He remained
in Camden just long enough to buy an
OvercOat and three suits OF clothes, each
with long trousers-hls hrst-and then
TOOK n train to New York. From New
York he went to Chicago, from which
city he expected to go to san Francisco
But here he read an account OF his theft
in the newspapers, which said that he
woud probably go to Spokane, where his
father was. So Elliott decided not to
20 West at all, but to take the first
train back to New York. From here he
returned to Philadelphia and stayed ut
the Bellevue trstford for several lays,
after which he moved TO the Hotel Lor-
raine, which is only Il short distance
from the Baldwin works.
Finally, he became restless and again
went to New York, where he at last
bought n ticket for San Francisco. II
was this act that betrayed him. The
ticket office agent became suspicious az
