Appreciation Of Camping Park at
Belfast

Mr. and Mrs. a. Il. Lamb and their
from three daysSand two nights
auto camping trip Thursday after
noon. They motored to Belfast where
the first night was spent. Here they
found that the city had turned their
park which is situated on Penobscot
Bay and is most beautiful over to the
use of auto campers. Just at twi-
light Fred Howe the president of the
Belfast Chamber or Commerce visits
the park and was most cordial to Mr..
Lamb and party and made them feel
that they were indeed welcome to the
city of Belfast. and they spent de-
lightful evening and a comfortab bic
night there. Wednesday they went TO
Camden and crossed the ferry be-
tween Prospect and Bucksport and
went to Castinc. camping at Orland
Wednesday night and returning home
Thursday. They found for the most
part very good roads and report an
ENJOYABLE trip.

and years Of ones usefulness are
increased through the proper care
Of ones physical being.
That the span of human life is
steadily frightening is shown by
recent statistics. The Msssachu-
sets death rate il used Is the
basis Of these computations be-
cause such records have been kept
there longer than anywhere else
in the country. In 1889 the aver
age length Of life in that common
wealth was 35.5 years. BY 1855
it had increased to forty years. In
1901 it was At years; in 1910,
62.2 years and in 1921, $50
years. Nationwide reports show
that as the result of scientific
disease-preventive efforts, the Az
erage expectation Of life has been
heightened four years during the
last eleven years.
( It has been officially stated that
80 per cent Of the deaths in New
York State last year resulted
from preventable or postponable
diseases, thus showing the posi-
bilities that exist for the prolonga-
ton of human life.
While much is being done
through various state and munich
pal governments, these results
can be greatly enhanced by indi.
vidual effort. Az is the case in
financial matters. much depends
on attention to details and inees-
SAINT watchfulness.
If by living more simply and
more sensibly we can greatly in
crease our daily efficiency and pro-
long the years of our usefulness
it is the part Of good thrift to
do so.

many women of the best taste never use
any perfumes. They believe that the orig
inal purpose Of powerful scents was to
disguise an unwashed person. Their
views are summed up in the words Of the
distinguished Beau Brummell, who said:
''The best perfume gentleman can
use is the odor of freshly washed linen."
But If women use perfumes, as most Of
them do, it is certainly desirable to un-
derstand the aesthetic value of them.
The experiments concerning the scale
of odors were actually made by a noted
chemist in Paris and were reported by
Professor Bogert in a recent address be-
fore the American Chemical Society, show
ing that he attached high scientific inn
portance to them.
The scale Of odors as worked out by the
French chemist is as follows:
"Starting with the bass clef, three
octaves below middle C, the musical notes
and the odors assigned to them are: Do,
patchouli; Re, vanilla; Mi, Glove bark; Fa,
benzoin; Sol, frangipane; La, storax; 81,
Glove; Do, sandalwood; Re, clematis; Mi,
rattan; Fa, castoreum; Sol, pergulaire; /;
La, balsam of Peru; Ii, carnations and
pink; Do, geranium; Re, heliotrope; Mi,
iris; Fa, musk; Sol, sweet pea; La, balsam
of tolu; Ii, cinnamon; Do, rose.
"The perfume of rose on this scale cor
responds to middle C, and from it the
treble clef continues with Re, violet; Mi,
Cassia; Fa, tuberose; Sol, orange flowers;
La, new-mown hay; Tt, aurone; Do, cam
phor; Re, almond; MI, Portugal Fa, JON
quill; Sol, syringa; La, tonka bean; Ii,
mint; Do, jessamine; Re, bergamot; Mi,
lemon; Fa, ambergris; Sol, magnolia; La,
lavender; I'll, peppermint; Do, pineapple;
Re, citronella SMi, vervain; Fa, civet.
"The chemist also pointed out that when
the perfumer wishes to combine the sim
pie odors he must use those that combine
into harmonious mixture. His scale Of
odors tells which perfumes will harmonise
and which will dscord. As a painter
blends colors, in the same way perfumer
should blend the aromas. When a bou-
quet of several perfumes is made, It Is
necessary to mix them so as to introduce
a slight contrast"
The French expert gives the following
examples of harmonious perfume bou-
quets:

the use of perfumes can only be obtained
by considerable study and hard work. Al
ready young students are said to be study
ing in Paris to recognize the scales and
harmonies of perfume by the nose only
and while they are blindfolded. Their
studies are similar to those of the
students of the Conservatory of Music.
1t is delicately limited that men may
make good use of the principle of har-
monious odors without necessarily resort
ing to the use Of strong perfumes. They
are urged to use shaving soap and other
kinds Of soap, toilet water, talcum pow
der ETC., which will harmonic with their
personalities and thus make themselves
more agreeable to the opposite sex.
There are modest perfumes low down
in the scale which are said to be quite
appropriate for men,"
1t is interesting to learn that musical
melodies are best composed from those
that is, mainly flowers. The preparation
of these perfumes was introduced in the
Middle Ages by the alchemists, who dis
covered distillation as a method of obtain
ing the essential oil from odoriferous
plants. The general processes now used
are as follows:
First-The use of steam or distillation; /;
a convenient and primitive method used
throughout the world and applied to a
large number of plants, chiefly thyme,
rosemary, lavender, geranium, roses,
orange flowers, etc.
Second-Placing the leaves on fatty
bodies; a cold process offering good re-
suits with such delicate flowers as the
jasmine and tuberose only.
Third-Extraction by a fixed solvent,
fat or oil, or infusion, applied warm to

THAT perfumes can be arranged in
delicious melodies and harmonies
was recently asserted by a scientist
of the highest standing, DR.. Marston T.
Bogert professor of organic chemistry at
Columbia University.
Professor Bogert explained that per-
fumes could be arranged in scale like
the musical scale. Every perfume pro-
duces a peculiar effect on the olfactory
cells in the brain corresponding to that
produced upon the ear and the cells of
hearing by musical tones.
Certain combinations of perfumes pro-
duce harmonies that are delightful and
even Intoxicating to the senses, just as
musical harmonies may do, while other
combinations of perfumes are positively
shocking. Combinations of two and three
harmonious perfumes produce simple,
pleasant harmonies, while combinations
of five or more produce profound and in
tricate harmonies.
The resemblance to music is carried
much further. When you smell one per-
fume after another you find there are
pleasant intervals and difficult intervals,
just as in music. ~ v
This interesting theory explains why
we are so often shocked by the strong
perfumes, the nasal discords and pungent
odors we smell in street cars, restaurants,
motion-picture theatres and other public
places. 1t is because the women around
US are using perfumes that are out of
harmony with one another.
In exclusive social gatherings we usually
find that the perfumes are in better har-
mony with one another, but here also we
occasionally smell an cxcruciating dis
cord. To make themselves thoroughly
agreeable, it is said, women must master
the scale of perfumes.
1t is particularly important, according
to Professor Bogert, that women who are
friends should learn the scale of perfumes
and use those that are in harmony. Other
wise the effect is as disturbing as if one
of them should play a piece on the piano
in one key while another rendered piece
on the violin in different key.
When the scale of perfumes is thor
oughly understood, enthusiasts will be able
to give charming little concerts of fra

OF course, It must not be forgotten that

made of the scale of perfumes as laid
down by the scientists. BY combining
harmonious perfumes women could obtain
perfectly novel bouquets. For instance,
these would be simple harmonies taken
from the octave beginning with middle
C on the piano:
"Do, rose; Mi, Cassia.
"Do, rose; Mi, Cassia; Sol, orange
flowers.
"Do, rose; Sol, orange flowers.
"Do, rose; Do, camphor (the top note
of the octave).
"Fa, tuberose; La, new-mown hay"
Here are a few simple chords of per-
fume from the second octave above
middle C:
IRE, almond; Fa, jonquil.
"Mi, Portugal; Sol, syringa.
"Fa, jonquil; La, tonka bean.
"Sol, syringa; tt, mint.
"La, tonka bean; Do (the top of the
octave), jessamine.
IRE, almond; Fa, jonquil; La, tonka
bean.
"Mi, Portugal; SOL syringa; I'll, mint.
"Fa, jonquil; La, tonka bean; Do, jes-
samine.
"Mi, Portugal; I'll, mint"
On the other hand, the following are
simple examples Of the innumerable dis
cords that may occur. These are from
the octave beginning with Do on middle
c Of the piano:
"Do, rose; Re, violet.
"Fa, tuberose; Sol, orange flowers"
The theory Of the scale of perfumes
is capable of innumerable applications
For instance, every healthy woman's skin
has peculiar fragrance of its own, which
