SUGGESTS
 REMOVING TROOPS
Pan.American Fellowship Sends
 Plea to Hoover

New York. July 10 (UP)-A let ter has been dispatched to President Hoover by the Pan-American fe!- lowship of reconciliation suggesting complete withdrawal of United States troops !n Nicaragua. The let ter suggested hat American imper- ialism" was a breach of the Kellogg pact.
 The letter cited articles from Cel- tral American papers indicating widespread feeling against Nicara- guam government policy as exercised under United States marines. Pa pers in several countries expressed the belief that atrocities committed by troops in the employ of the Nic4 laguan government exceeded those Of General Sandinos rebels.
 Citizens of the embattled Jinotega and Segovia departments were to re- port to concentration camps under supervision of the troops, it was stated. This, it was thought would enable the government to distinguish the Sandinista as those outside ot the camps.

 Two policemen who ran toward the scene trapped Mangello in a bedroom. While they beat upon the door they heard him cry out as he tabled himself. They broke down the door and found him on the floor bleeding from more than a dozen wounds.

Chicago Not Wicked City, But Ruled
 By Vicious Politicians, Rotary Told

Chicago is not a wicked city, but 1t Is being governed by a small vicious minority and gangsters and corrupt politicians cause the city to be chased as corrupt, despite the large majority of clean, decent citizens who are apathetic, accord ing to Rev. Eugene M. Bushong, pastor of the Congregational church In Cromwell who spoke on The Chicago Crisis and Democracy" at the weekly luncheon of the Rotary club at the Burritt hotel this noen.
 Rev. MT, Bushong described an at tempt that he made one evening in Chicago to buy a bottle of coca cola, ertering a place where sodas were sold, and the clerk being too busy to serve him. he walked out and was halted by two plain clothes men who demanded to know his whole life history before releasing him. They thought that the pastor was gunman.
 The corrupt condition of political
 
 world disturbances was said by Mir. Bushong to be a condition that any city, even New Britain, could easily acquire unless the citizens awak- ened to their rights and responsi- bilities and controlled the city. in stead Of allowing a small minority of office seekers and political hench- men to control the city and it's finances.
 Chicago, in 1923, aroused from its lethargy. elected Dever mayor and for four years there was a regime of fairly clean operation of the, city departments and finances, but Big Bill Thompson's gang went back into office in 1927 because of the lethargy of the citizens, and the

 Shocks Stray Children

Chicago, July 10 UP)-John Kulczak had system all his own for keeping children and stray. dogs out of his garden and it worked until the police interfered.
 Kulczak's inventive ability, his patience. if any, and a lot of wire were all he needed to put his System" into effect.
 He ran the wire around the fence that surrounds his garden and home, into the house and to the attic, where he connected it with an electric light switch. Then he sat and waited, the switch in his hand until dog or child touched the fence.
 The system worked fine, but the children did so much shriek- ing and the dogs so much bowling that soon the whole neighborhood was aroused, police were colled, Kulczak was arrested and charged with illegal diversion of electric current.

INDUSTRY STUDIES
 COMBINED DOORS
Rank Smells Utilized to Pro-
 duCe Pleasant ArOnaS

Hamilton, N. Y, July 10 P)- Early arrival of a new era of sweet smells was forecast today by pr. Donald A. Laird. head of the de- partment of psychology of Colgate university.
 He foresees many of the wide spread, disagreeable odors of in dustry turned into pleasant aromas through a recently discovered ad- vance in the perfumers art. By this new method instead of using perfume to cover up bad smells. the evil odor itself is put to work. !"
 Combined Orders Pleasant
 It is given as a companion d minute percentage of some power ful chemical. The new partner, called an industrial aromatic, may be equally evil smelling. But the com bination Of the two bad odors produces a sweet or a pleasant one.
 Industry, says Dr.. Laird in a sur vey i~sued today, is rapidly taking up the. new principle to increase sales of articles which once lacked smell appeal. He quotes a survey of 56 varieties of common smells made by F. Aumueller. a Milwau- kee advertising man, to learn how they ranked among customers. The worst was precipitation. garlic sec ond, rubber third and kerosene fourth.
 Both rubber and kerosene, said pr. Laird, now are coming upon the market in guises that no nose would recognize. He told of sprays whose effectiveness depends mainly upon kerosene. and which he said are widely used in homes which would not tolerate them until kero- sene odor was put to work" at making perfume of itself. Rubber's odor is likewise used as the basis of new aromas, Dr. Laird said, but added that he is not at liberty to name any of the new disguses.
 Scientist Credited
 He credited Dr. Eric c. Kunz of Montclair. N. J., with leadership in the research establishing the methods of getting rid of smells. kunz found four aromatics which would combine with a lnseed oil odor in some artificial feathers so as to produce a pleasant effect
 The same principle pr. Laird said, can be used to change dis agreeable odors in rooms or audi toriums into quite a variety of agreeable scents. New -Mown hay" is one of the results. But the art has not developed to the point where it can be applied economi- cally to O. 'en air odors of the gas house" type.
