JOYS ARE BUT TRANSITORY
Detachable Perfumes Will Not Long
GLADDEN. the Prisoner In CIeve-
land County Jail.

Altar of roses and sweet scents of
Araby. There's an electric perfumer
at the county jail. 1t casts all kinds
of sweetness on the prison air. Just
turn the button and the Jail becomes
a garden Of roses or fragrant with
the scent Of orange blossoms.
The other day the atmosphere Of
the Jail reflected the aroma of the
forest cedar. 1t might have been Nor
way pine, sassafras, crab apple bios
som, but it just happened that the per.
fumer was charged to dispense an
aroma tinged with forest cedar.
The machine has possibilities, the
sheriff believes. 1t might be employed
to awaken the prisoners each morning
with scents of violats and soothe them
at breakfast with odors of ham, eggs,
corn fritters, grapefruit and other
viands not on the regular morning
menu of coffee and BUTTERFLIES bread
Oh yes, indeed. the machine has
possibilities. If 1t was charged with
few quarts of hootch confscated In
raids, why, the old jail would be one
Of the most popular breathing places
In the county.
At night 1t could discharge the odor
Of pineapple or figs or dates. and any
prisoner with good sense Of smell
and strong Imagination could read
fly 60 to sleep and feel that he was In
Hawaii.

TEND 70 SrARvE THE BRAIN
Writer Warns Of Pernicious Effects
That May Be Exercised by the
Stiff Collar.

We are once more threatened with
the stiff, tight, pre-war collar. Doe
tors have repeatedly warned parents
against the dangers of allowing their
sons to wear collars of this type.
1t is pointed out that the wearing
of high, stiff, tight collars retards the
flow of blood to the brain. and thus
Starves the brain cells, says London
Tit-Btts.
The result of this brain starvation is
that the wearer becomes lethargic, and
stupid and dull in his school work.
His brain is not up to the tasks it is
required to perform; he becomes in
different to his studies, and will pore
over his books in 4 semi-dazed man
= often, too, he will take less In
,'s,s' in athletics, and this tends to
rt; &c his vitality and mental ac-
t;vity.
Although the effect of wearing
Ugh, stiff collar is not SO noticeable
N the case of an adult, it is not good
for the general health and also leads
to colds
The old-fashioned stiff collar with
turneQdOwn corners is still worn by
Doctor Chamberlain, while for years
Lloyd George has worn a kind Of
Gladstone collar, but without the gap
at the throat.
Bernard Shaw has always de
nounced the starched collar as an
abomination. Many other famous men.
especially literary and artistic celebri-
ties, have worn soft collars. Byron
always wore a style of his own-soft

SAW STEAMBOAT AS ENEMY
Salfcrs and Fishermen Alike Dreaded
Power Of Which They Had No
Comprehension.

When Fulton's steamboat, the Cler
mont, made her maiden trip on the
Hudson river in 1907, 1t frightened
more persons than it interested. Fish.
ermen and small boatmen to a man
believed 1t to be some horrible mon
ster, and headed for shore as fast as
they could go, and once on land ran
ut top speed into woods and fields
to hide. Crews Of larger sailing ships
were no better, and many a schooner
was deserted and left to DRIFT down
stream as the snorting, clanking.
smoke-tossing Clermont appeared.
Later 1t was made known along the
river what the thing was, and there
at once arose great wave Of hate
lnstigated by boatmen who saw their
business ruined, and by fishermen who
were sure the noise Of the steamboat
would drive the fish to sea. Added to
them were hundreds Of religious IA
natics who declared the boat was the
work Of the devil and flying in the
face Of God" So acute did this dis
like grow that attempt after attemp

FALCoNRY AN ANCIENT SPORT
Amusement, Practiced in East. Can Be
Traced TO PERIOD That Antedates
Era Of Christianity.

Falconry, the art Of training fal.
cons and hawks to the chase. has been
traced back to a period before the
Christian era. 1t was practiced In the
East and also in Europe long before its
Introduction into England. The English
kings used to emuse themselves with
this sport, which was for a long time
the leading amusement, such as base
ball IS IN America today
Falconers use Two kinds Of birds
the longWinged, dark-eyed falcons and
the short-winged, yellow-eyed hawks.
The former take their prey by rising
above 1t in the air and swooping at It
from considerable height and strik-
Ing 1t TO the ground; the latter pur-
sue in straight line, and oyertakIng
the object Of the chase by superior
speed, clutch 1t and bring it down.
The larger falcons are sent after
winged prey Of all kinds, crows, mag.
pies, rocks. herons and Wild fowl. The
smaller falcons, such as the merlin
ana hobby are flown at larks; while
Of the short-winged hawks the spar
row-hawk Is flown at blackbirds ana

consequently selected according TO the
game they have to pursue.
