likely, some impossible-to explain how these cells inside our noses function. No single one can be accepted without reservation, but it may interest the reader to tell how little we know.
 Anything that we smell must be in gaseous state, for it has to be carried to the nostrils in the air that we breathe. It may be in the inspired air, as when we smell perfume, or in the expired air passing from the region of the mouth and throat into the nose, as are the sub- stances that are responsible for the flavor of food and drink-for flavor is not perceived by the sense of taste, but by the sense of smell, as any one who has had his nose blocked up by cold will realize.
 "The odorous substance is thus brought into contact with the hairs of the olfactory cells, which are apparently stimulated, and sensation of smell re- suits. This is agreed, but how does the stimulation occur?
 "Is it chemical, the odorous substance affecting the hairs like a chemical rea- gent? Or is it physical, depending on waves in the air or ether, as it the case in the senses of hearing and sight? Here admitted fact ends, and speculation begins. Some people claim that the effect is chemical, and others that it is physical"
 Dr. Ponder points out that smelling can hardly be the result of chemical &C., tion because many substances that differ

 ''Dr. Knudsen has seen each boys family in America personally. He came to our house 11:30 one rainy Sunday night and looks almost ex- actly like Commander Byrd. He has dreamed of this trip for six years and hopes now it will be the fore runner of other similar trips spon- sored by many other different na- tions for their boys.

 Dr. Davis Hits Lindsey Plan
 Following his address. Rev. Ozora F. Davis of Chicago. formerly of this city, addressed the gathering, emphasizing the need of humanity today to train human control of the tremendous devices of energy which have been invented within the past 15 years.
 Dr. Davis claimed that the ad vances of science made within the past decade have outshone those of the past centuries and that civiliza- ton was doomed unless some train ing for the turning of these devices into the right channels was made.
 Declaring that he had the utmost confidence in the younger genera tion, Dr. Davis claimed that they would pay an awful price for their freedom but that they would emerge from the conflict considerably bet ter than any past generation.
 Skipping at the recent articles of Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver re- garding companionate marriages Dr. Davis said that unless the civil lization of this country held the home life together future events would be dark. He outlined four needs of the country's manhood, the fulfillment of which he claimed, lay In the hands of his audience the home, the schools, the con- munity and the wider institution of religion and morals in the nation.
 In enlarging upon his four points, Dr. Davis claimed that more ideal ism should be injected into the teaching in the schools. Bare facts and statistics minus this feature, he claimed. lost half their value in the teaching. The community. he went on to state. shaped the individual who resided in it. Mentioning the slums of Chicago, he asked mem- bers of the Rotary club if they could expect fine womanhood and man. hood to spring from their midst. The wider institution of religion and morals, brought plea from the clergyman, Dr. Davis stating that in that last point more than in any other. did the salvation of civiliza- ton as whole. lie.
 Several guests and visiting Rotar- ians were present, a large delega- ton from Chicago greeting the speaker. George H. Dyson intro duced Dr. Davis.

HUSBAND AND WIFE
 IN SUICIDE PACT
Tragedy Reads Like Chapter
 From 0. Henry Book

Haverhill, Mass. July 21 (UP)- Their hands clasped in a farewell gesture of affection, William c. Walz, 50, and his wife, Ella, were found dead in the gas-filled pantry of their Stow street apartment here today.
 A farewell note explained that they had chosen death in prefer ence to the struggle for existence necessary as result Of the husband 3 failing health and inability to ob- tain work.
 The tragedy. which might have been a page from an O. Henry story, was revealed when another occupant of the building. Mrs. Hat tie Demaritt, traced an odor of H. luminating gas to the Walz apart ment. She summoned Benjamin Mencis, owner of the building, who, with a gas company employe, forced entrance.
 Mrs. Walks body rested in an upright position on a chair, as though she had merely fallen asleep while sitting there. Her hus- bands body had slipped from an- other chair as death came, and lay on the floor nearby.

of course, that both theories are true in part, or that the exceptions are only ap- parent exceptions that would disappear if we knew the facts more fully. But so far we have to admit defeat"
 The inquisitive scientist suggests that the pigment cells that surround the ol- factory cells with the tiny hairs on them may play an important part in smelling, even though they do not end in nerves as the olfactory cells do.
 He points out that in some animals whose sense of smell is very acute-the dog and the deer, for example-these pigment cells are very prominent and richly loaded with their colored material, And as if to bear out his argument he cites the seal, which has very few pig ment cells and very poor sense of smell.
 Albino sheep, which have no pigment cells at all, are almost entirely without sense of smell, and many breeders shun animals of this breed because they so often die from eating poisonous plants and herbs that their keener-nosed brethren avoid.
 People at large know surprisingly little about their noses. We know that eve. sight and hearing fails with age, but few Of us are aware that, in a normal person. the ability to smell become more acute and more discriminating with age. Or that women have better "smellers" than men, in the years that follow the attain. .,ent of maturity,

greatly in chemical makeup smell the same to our noses. For example, certain compounds of arsenic and phosphorus smell exactly like garlic, and our olfac- tory cells cannot distinguish natural from artificial musk, although they are not at all the same in substance.
 Scientists who have investigated and abandoned the theory that smelling is matter of chemical action have tried to solve the mystery of our neglected sense of smell by showing that the action of odors on the delicate cells of our noses is physical.
 In explanation of this as yet improved theory, Dr. Ponder says: "The minute particles of which the substances we smell are made up-particles called molecules-are known to be in state of very rapid vibration, and it is SUD- posed that these rapid movements set up in the surrounding air little waves, just as the movement of stone sets up ripples on a pond.
 "These tiny waves are then propa- gated through the air into the nose, and fall on the hairs of the olfactory cells, which are caused to rock to and fro thereby. The movements of the hairs thus set up an impulse in the cell to which they are attached, the impulse is carried to the brain and there inter. preted as smell.
 "In this way the vibrating molecules act somewhat like wireless transmitter, and the hairs of the cells like a detector,
