CHAPTER Xxxv :.
Once upon y time there was an old
lady in Cosne-sur-Loirc who wore
wig and ran little epicerie on q
side street off the main rue and the
American soldiers called her THE
Engineer" She received supply
Of sweet chocolate every. week and,
by law, she was. supposed to sell it
only to the French villagers. But she
was tempted by the lure of heavy
francs.
SO, THE Engineer" would admit an
American applicant for chocolate by
back door, and tiptocing ahead OF
him, lead the way through dark
passage into her shop. Looking all
around sharply. to be sure that she
was unobscrved, she would pull out
deep drawer under one of her
shelves and procure package.
Hiding it quickly beneath her
apron she would slide around the
counter and deftly pass it on to the
soldier. He'd pay then, and, as he
departed with his treasure, she
would hold q finger to her lips as an
admonition for utmost secrecy.

Rewarded

We arc glad that the Pulitzer prize for 1926 has
been awarded to the Daily News CT Canton, Ohio.
1t is fitting tribute to the service rendered by
Don Mellctt.
You are doubtless familiar with Mectts career;
how he fought tcnacicusy against graft and cor
ruption in his cys governmental and political life.
and how he paid with his life for that fight 1t was
noble record; record of which the country may
be proud. ~ ~
The Pulitzer prize was we'll earned. The Canton
Daily News has deserved it. 1t has continued the
good fight since Melletts death, and Canton, in
cidentally. is better place to live in now than it
was year ago.

Daily Health
Service
BY DIX. MORRIS rlSHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American
Medical AsOciatiOn and Of Hygeia,
the Health Ma9a7ine

The sense of determining odors
is far better developed in the lower
animals than it 10 in man. Higher
civilization makes man less and less
dependent on his sense of smell, but
it may be of gerat value to the hu:
man being who gives it fair chance
to be of service.
There are some occupations, par
ticularly those having to do with
tasting, in which the sense of smell
is highly cultivated. 1t 10 generally
recognized that the sense Of taste is
largely dependent on the sense Of
smell for its full enjoyment.
In the nose are found little
nerve cells which apparently re-
ceivc the 0d0r and relay it to the
brain. In the nasal cavity 0f man
there is only about one square inch
of such cells, which 10 lsmall
amount as contrasted with that of
many of the lower animals. In the
same way. the organs tor registering
smell in the brain of man are much
smaller proportionately than those
of the animal. 4 ase4
In a recent consideration Of the
value Of the sense of smell to the
physician, DR.. William j.. Mayo points
out that a surgeon with an especially
trained sense and smell will recog-
nize many abnormal conditions,
while walking through hospital
ward. Before the advent Of modern
laboratory technique physicians were
able to recognize typhoid fever by a
particular odor. for the membrane
in diphtheria had an odor which was
peculiar to it. During the most re-
cent epidemic Of Influenza many
physicians pointed out that persons
suffering with this disease had a
perspiration with a definite odor.
Some poisons, particularly cyanide.
have an odor which is distinctive.
In the case Of the cyanide. the odor
is that of almonds.
Man has but five Fundamental
senses. He seldom uses these to the
maximum Of the possible Develop
ment. More and more he has come
to depend on prolongation Of these
senses by the use Of magnifying i'm
struments, such as the microsc one
for charging objects Of small size SO
that they may be more readily seen,
or radio tubes which raise sounds OF
small dimensions into terrific blasts,
such as may be heard by any ear.

A Worthy Contest

The Daniel Guggenhem fund for the promotion
Of acronautics announces the posting of $4,000
in prizes for "safe aircraft competition" By this
means it hopes to take American aeronautics long
step along the road to real safety in the air.
OF course everything considered, our airplanes
are remarkably safe right now. But the tragedy
that took the lives of Noel Davis and Stanton
Wooster emphasizes that there is much yet to be
DONE
The airpane is wonderful instrument waiting
full development. The Guggenhem funds contest
ought to help it immensely. 1t is a step in the
right direction.

Worth Trying

Too little attention, it seems to u.s. has been
given the recent suggestion of French Foreign Min
lister BRAND that the United States and France sign
treaty forever cutlawing war between themselves.
Rodney butcher Washington correspondent.
points out that this suggestion has made little stir
at our capital. Apparently it has made more
: stir anywhere else in the country. Yet, to way
Of thinking, it is most excellent idea.
nav there doesn't seem to be any very great
w. fE that we will 60 to war with France, either
T. Sf in the future whether this treaty be signed
,or not. This nation and France have little mis-
understanding about the debt and probably our
mutual friendship has cooled considerably since the
fraternal days Of 1917; yet it would require
q plication of gravity at present. incomprehensble
to bring either nation to the point where it would
want to war with the other.
That being the case, it might be asked, "Why
sign no-war treaty, then? It isn't needed"
Probably that is true. But the treaty would be
magnificent gesture; and sometimes the right
kind of gesture is extremely weighty force in
the affairs of the world
For, after all, it is the intangible things that
important, in 50 hard-boilcd a realm as that
Of international politics. A scrap of paper may be
rather insignificant in ITSELF but it MAY also prove
power Of tremendous value in its influence the
minds of men.
To our way of thinking, this treaty would be such
power It is certain that the United States and
France have only the most peaceable intentions
towards another; why not then, put that down
in writing? Why not publish a covenant for the
world to sec setting forth that these two nations
are forever pledged to amcable settlement of
whatever differences may arise between them !:
Who can tell what far-reachng effects such step
might not have?
For the signing Of mutual treaties outlawing
has heretofore been the concern only of small ma
tons. Suppose two of the largest and strongest
nations earth entered into such agreement; is it
not safe to say that the moral effect might be trc-
mendous? And it is precisely in that sphere-in the
catching of mems visions by glimpse of new
order-that international peace lies, rather than in
any complicated system Of guarantees" alliances"

At all events, it is worth thinking over. We

kestions q good deal Of thought.
