so that they may not detract
from the intricacy or elabora-
ton of our new clothes. Instead

Demand for pumps and oxfords has

USE OF PERFUMES
 KNOWN IN BABYLON
Warriors Bathed in Therl- Egyptians Ate and Drank Them

Washington. D. C., Oct. H. Chemists are undertaking a new task, it is reported, in seeking to classify perfume odors: but the use of perfumes is exceedingly ancient v says a bulletin fro n the Washing ton, D. c. headquarters of the Na- tional Geographic Society.
 "The Bible indicates that per fumes were in vogue among the He brews: and in the reign of Ham murabi, the George Washington of Babylon-for Hammurabi also was q general, an engineer and admin istrator-the use of perfume was enforced by law,
 "In ancient Babylon and Assyria mighty warriors bathed themselves in perfumes, and wore their hair in carefully curled, highly scented locks. Moreover, the perfumes were distributed in tiny glass vials and bottles, progenitors of the fanCtfully shaped bottles of today.
 Egyptians Ate and Drank Perfume
 Ancient manuscripts and hiero- glyphiCs on tombs tell of the de- light the people of early Egypt found in perfumes. During one era, day a week was set aside when the people were asked to perfume themselves entirely. The scents which they procured from trees and shrubs and aromatic plants would be too strong for modern taste. The most ardent present day

ONE WAY TRAFFIC
 ON CHURCH STREET
Timid Souls Fear to Park on
 Left Side

There were Timid Souls and Big Brave PIungors on Church street yesterday afternoon, and by the end of the day the Big Brave Plung"rs had won and even the Timid Souls were following their examples.
 For yesterday, traffic 'on Church strect-that is. from Main street 10 the railroad statiOn-Wcnt one way and when it went one way, no one seemed to know rightly where to park.
 Police board members Tuesday evening outlined their plans: Drivers would be allowed to park on hoTh sides of the street as far IS COrDln place, and traffic would flow only in an castcrly direction. Which was well. Yesterday traffic flowed in an raet"rly direction, but only the most larIonnl hair-s0littrrs parked on what the day before was the wrong side of the street. Timid Souls cruiscd around and around on tn" street until someone vacated a spot on their right side. Hardened hair spltters, well up on the machina- tions of the police board, in q care

Mayott served with the engi- neer corps during the Spanish American War, afterwards spend- ing q number of years in South American countries as an engi- necr.
 "I have never been sick q day in my life" said Mayott, even though I travelled through fever. ridden sWamps in South America including the pest hole of the world in Equador, and l have had no tropical diseases that might have led up to it."
 Physicians, however, speculate as to whether or not the rigors Of his life in the tropics, including the strain of an 1S-months journey on horseback, covering many thou. sands of miles, is responsible for his condition.
 He has been an engineer all his life, and worked at the Canal Zone during the construction of the Panama Canal, afterwards re .. cciving q Congressional medal for his services there.

 Have an Ache Try Perfume
 "The Greeks had special passion for perfume. Their poets wrote poems to it and about it. Only the most careless of the Grccian dandics was so thOughtlcss as to bathc him self in but one kind of perfume. A different scent for each part of the body may have been the slogan of their perfumers. It was fashionable to rub mint on the arms and many other scents recommended were just as highly spiced.' Into the wines which graccd their banquet tables, they infused roses, violets and hya- cinths.
 When a Greek found himself worrying too much over his trou- blcs he used a recommended per- fume to clear his mind. Stomach ache, headache and various other aches were said to be relieved by the application Of different flowers and plant scents. The Greek quacks Of an ancient day had a full supply of

 However, where the "parE on your left" zone ends still is uIl~- tcry to many. Late last night no motorist had been so daring as 10 park his car in front Of the small plot of grass in front of the railroad station. No parking signs confronted him. Yet the police board was rpe- cifc in their statement that the one way zone would exist as far as Cor lin place. Perhaps motorists thought. parking on the left ends in front of the Stanley hotel, while others believed that perhaps the traffic squad had forgotten to take down the signs.
 And last night the law could not help the motorists for the law. as represented hy the cop on the beat, himself did not know how far the zon" extended.

 Fortunes were introduced into Spain by the Arabs. Southern Arabia. the Sheba of the ancientS, was the chief source of supply for the trees and plants which yielded the per fumes of the Egyptians and Greeks and Romans, and the perfumes of Araby' were not mere poetic license brought to Europe gradually but it was no until about the middle of sixteenth century that they became almost universally popular. A still popular scent, water of Hungary, was first distilled from rosemary in the fourteenth century. Queen Eliza beth of Hungary, a conscientious user of this scent, was kept miracu- lously beautiful until a ripe old age by its application. according to some early writers.
 "The popularity of scented gloves was a factor in spreading the use of perfume in Europe. France and Italy were especially partial to the sweet scents while in England. as in ancient Greece, to certain types O. perfumes were ascribcd remedial and seductive powers.

Columbia University's Worthies.
(New York World.)

In the list of nearly fifty paintings to be hung at Columbia for the 175th anniversary, one group of names is particularly notable The great pontl- cal figures like John Jay (class of 1764 and Alex ander Hamilton (class of IT'D are to be taken TOT granted So are the eminent educators o1 recent years such as Professors Selgman, Giddings Dewey and Prpin But there are less obvious names which represent as much of the usefulness and glory of Columbia and should not be half forgotten.
 Columbia does well to recall her pride in John Stevens of the class of 1768, pioneer builder of steamboats the inventor of the screw propeller and multitubular boiler an associate of Fulton's, the founder at Hoboken in 1911 of the first steam ferry in the world, and of the American lead CTS in railway promotion. No better known is the career of James Renwick of the class og 1886, one of the engineers of the Erie Railroad and Croton Auueduct builder of the famous reservoir which once occupied the site of the Public Library, and architect of Grace Church and the Roman Catholic Cathedral at 50th Street. The university hangs a portrait of Wocott Gibbs, one of the greatest Am erican scientists of his time, and long teacher of physics and chemistry at City College and Harvard
 It recalls Jackson Temper of the class of 1809 the first missionary bishop in the Episcopal Church, and a heroic worker in the Northwest when Wis consn and Minnesota still wilderness. It re- calls two scholarly and public-sprited men, G. c. Verplank (class of 180D the editor of Shake speare, member of Congress and literary popu- cology and of the makers of the General Theo- logical Seminary. There are others less known but hardly less useful
 Anniversary celebrations of this kind are an oc- casion for pointing to the most famous sons university has produced They should also be occa- sion for recommending to public attention some who are less famed than they should be.
