Od5rs in Apartments.

There are times in the city dwelling, especially in an apartment when just before the arrival of guests the hostess is conscious of deadly odOr stealing OCT the scene.
 Instead of relying on the incense burner which must he carried from room to room in such an emergency and which often sends out only fleet r. fragrance, 1t is a good plan to keep on nnI a little oil of cinnamon. Fill g shallow vessel with water and place fl on the stove. When it boilS put ID a tcaSpoouful of the cinnamon oiL A spicy odor will soon iIl the rooms. The water should simmer slowly, but not boil violently. after the oil is added, IL is said that oil Of lavender and other fragrant oils will give the same result. IL is rather amusing to keep ones method of pcrfuming the home a secret. as this will add to the indi- vfdualtty of ones setting.

Birth of Photography.

Photography was cradIed in obscur- Iry. Centuries ago Lacock. in Wilt shire. was a thriving town, famous for its tapestries. Today it has a far greater claim to fame yet few people outside the county have ever heard of it.
 Il was ut Lacock that William Fox Talbot produced the first photograph, The event preceded the announcement of the discovery of the daguerreotype by four years, and five years later-ln lSSQ-Fux Talbot startled the scien- fife world by exhibiting a series of photogeuic drawings, as he called his photographs, at the Royal institute.
 Fox Talburs village resting place Is marked only by a plain stone-a mon umcnt which has been the subject of very few photographs.-London Mall

Some Spanish Priests Forbid Use Of Word Caramba"-Good Story
 in That Connection.

There Is a church in La GuaIra, Ven ezuela.. which is said to have been erected with the proceeds of fines im' posed upon the people of the parish who proguned their conversation With the word "caramha"-the common oath among all classes of pcopIe-or with stronger expressions. The church is therefore called La Iglesia de Ia SuuctsSlma Curumha.'
 The word curumbu is meaningless, but it is constantly in the mouths or all people. without regard to sex or condition. and is not usually considered rpurphruStblc. But now and then a nfous priest will be found who prohlb- trs its use among the sheep and lambs of his flock.
 A story is told of three piouS frtars who were travelling a hot and dusty road one day. driving a donkey which bore their luggage. The beast became obstinate. and finally lay down in the dirt much Co the damage of their prop er,y. One of them, more impulSiye rhan the rest. forgot himself so far as to utter the first syllable of the for nidLeu eNpletive and said Car " The second exclaimed Ram" and the third "Bu" which completed the un- holy word. and thus expressed their sentiments jointly without imperiIing their souIs.-Phiadelphia Ledger.

THREE INTANGIBLE MEN
 ORGANIZE FOX FARM

Three more WUangelI men have entered the fox farming business says the Wrangeu Sentinel.
 Peter Hehr, CHn Baker and Henry Lutro recently organized the pyhus Bay Fox Company. These gentle. men have leased a group of four islands in Pybus Bay, Frederick Sound. The islands arc near 'aa coast of Admiralty island. and are on the opposite side of the sound from Cape Fanshaw. This group of islands is admirably suited for fox farming, being so close to each other that the foxes may go from one island to the other at low tide but there will be no danger of the foxes getting of the group
 PyBus Bay is becoming a fox farming center. There are already three successful fox farms in that vicinity.
 The new firm will stock their is- lands with blue foxes which they will obtain from the San Juan Fur Company, whose farms are located on the Sisters Islands. which are al- so located in Pybus Bay.
 Messrs. Behrs, Baker and Lutro are all outdoor men and will no doubt succeed in their new under taking. They have already put Up 500 smoked fish which will be used as feed for the foxes during the coming winter,

Calling in Cairo.

Foreigners who are compelled Co live in Cairo sometimes take up their residence in a remote portion of the city which is not laid out with any re gard to the convenience of persons who are finding their way about. There Is no system in the arrangement of the streets or houses and strangers have great difficulty in finding any par rfcurur location.

REALLY AN OLD, OLD STORY The Younger Generation, lt Would Appear, Has Always Been Going
 Co the Bow Vows"

Are the children Of today going to the how-wows, or is it just an appear ancc? Are the children of this world today worse in their generation than the children of yesterdayl Let us take a census.
 A volume Of sermons printed In 1850 contains wall from Dr. Lyman Beccher about "the terrible lack Of parental discipline in these later days"
 Dr. Jonathan Edwards made the same gloomy remark hundred years before, saying that children behaved rudcly and lacked the reinstatement he had received. {,
 Going back two centuries we find the famous Hugh Latlmer, chaplain to Ed ward VI, declaring that during his 90 years Of observation the manners Of boys. their development at church and their conduct toward parents had un- derEone a woeful declension.
 John Knox remarked on the dtscour- aging signs of the times as to parents lack of authority over their sons.
 Going back to the Old Testament 1t seems that the same doleful views prevailed among the Hebrews, for one of the prophets gives them this needed warning:
 "Say not thou, what IS the cause that the former days were better than these? Thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this
 So that. taking It all around, we are oufte undisturbed about the present generation. It is probable that we were just the same little fools that they arc-ouIy a mere bit Hitler. We have forgotten.

 The Territorial Legislature. Ses- sion of 1919, lact approved May 1. 19I9). created the office of Commis- siouer of Health of the Territory of Alaska and thus provided for his ap- pointment in section 1:

PRESIDENTS SPEECH WILL BE
HEARD ACROSS THE
CONTINENT.

When President Harding delivers
the funeral address over the body of
the Unknown Soldier, on Armis-
tice Day his words will be heard by
the largest audience the human
voice has ever reached. His voice
will be carried across the continent
to New York and San Francisco,
where meetings composed Of Ameri-
can Legion members and friends
will hear him plainly and distinctly
through the medium of Loud
Speakers. In addition. loud
speaking system has been installed
in the Arlington National Cemetery
and if half million people could
gather on the broad slopes of that
beautiful place they could hear with
perfect clearness every word of the
Presidents address, every note of
the singers, and every syllable of
the solemn commitment services
when they lay this Unknown Hero"
within his tomb.
For several weeks past organizers,
of the American Legion and the
engineers OF the Bell System have
been working together to bring
about these meetings and the trans
mission of these Arlington cere-
monies. Complete crews of experts
and engineers operating the loud
speaking system from Arlington all
the way to San Francisco will be
out of sight so that there is nothing
visible.
One of the miraculous effects of
the Loud Speaker" Is in the per-,
feet control Of the power, whereby
the voice can be made to carry for a
mile or more but at no point is the
audience aware of any mechanical
effect. One can stand in front of
the speaker, turn around and walk
for half a mile while the speech is
going on, but he will not be able to
detect where he passes from thS
zone of actual voice into the area
served by the Loud Speaker"
There Is no raucous megaphone eff
feet, one simply hears a voice as if
1t were coming out of the air, per-
feet voice and thoroughly recognize
