A Professor Who
Collects Smells

~ NE Of the strangest hob
bies on record has just
~ come TO light. II is coll
lecting smells.
DR.. Ralph Bienfang Of Norman.
Oklahoma. has spent much of his
spare time for eight years col
lecting unusual odors and now
has a library" of 286 rare and
it is to be hoped pleasing scents.
II is no trouble at all for the doc
tor to go on shifting spree, or
furnish such a bit of entertain
ment for his friends any time he
takes a notion. He has all these
smells filed away for easy refer
ence.
Catching a smell for his collec-
ton is not so difficult, probably
not as bad as the job of dashing
around welding an insect-catch-
inc net as ali butterfly and bug
collectors must do. But keeping
a smell in good condition for
years-or in bad condition If 1t
is a stink proved to be an
other problem. Some of the
scents. Of course, could be kept
in walls but that requires a fair
sized sample a mere whiff
would have to be perpetuated in
some other way.
DR.. Bienfang was a little dis
couraged about this until he fig
ured out a way to put smells on
paper. He does this by mixing
the smell he wants to save with
a solution of cellophane and ace
tone. A bit of this mixture drop
ped on a sheet of paper and al
lowed to dry will preserve the
odor for at least two years.
Anyone who wants to follow
this technique and has enough
good smells to preserve can build
up an album of fragrances which
may even excel the family pho
tograph album in interest. and
certainly in novelty.
The Oklahoma doctor has odors
from Brazil, Arabia, Syria, Ger
many, Egypt and many other
countries. Some are extremely
valuable. Among these are oil of
rose from Bagdad, neroli oil, oil
of hysop from Central Asia and
many others.
II was suggested several years
ago by a leading scientist that
there were not enough words to
describe smells.
DR.. Bienfang's ever-growing
album of scents may inspire him
to work, in the interest of science,
on more adequate language for
describe smells.

these may have been destroyed
by religious zealots-at least
they have disappeared if they
ever did exist.
These missing records may
have included other gods and
goddesses of reproduction and
fertility worshiped by the Toll
tees. Aztecs and Mayas though
frequently under different names.
Chief among these are Quet-
zalcoatl the Aztec god of the air.
Tlaloc, rain-god of the Toltecs
and the mooH god or goddess,
Feccictecati. The god of the
air must needs be propitiated so
he would blow the rain-clouds
inland from the ocean. Then the
rain-god still had power over
whether or not the rain would
fall,
The moon goddess was respon-
sible for numerous progeny, a
thing that was very important to
these wandering people who
needed many warriors in their
battles. Frequently in the ancient
Goddess a picture of the hare or
the iguana is used to represent
the moon, probably because these
animals are known to have many
offspring and the moon was be-
lieved to be responsible.

YEARS BEST SCIENTIFIC DETECTIVE STORY

with a flint knife This is known
as the cardiac type of sacrifice.
The dead victim is painted in
pink to distinguish him from the
Invader tribesmen who squat
around the alt& with pieces of
cane in their hands.
Then comes a gap in the Codex
there are several fragments
missing here and there in the
eighteen-foot strip. apparently
lost by wear and tear in the past
four hundred years.
There is another Volador game,
and another sacrifice of a woman
this time with the warriors
shown shooting arrows at her.
At the town of Tequizquitlan,
the Invaders split into two
groups, and their footprints pro-
coed along the CodeX in two sep
arate lines. The northern adven-
turers took a town called TINA
cantepec = Mountain of the
Bats"-depicted by a large black
bat lowering over a mountain.
While the southern group passed
by large body of water and en-
gagged in a battle, the northern
ers went on to take the walled
town of Coatepec-"Mountain of
the Serpent"
By this time the original in
habitants of the country were

ratfying against them, and the
Codex shows group of Zapotec
warriors coming down from the
town of Papalaopan-"Lake of
the Butterfly"-to surround Goa
tepec.
The Invaders defeat the Zapo-
tees. and many prisoners are
taken and presented to the In
vader chiefs. The Invaders march
on.
They then come to Tepemex-
alec, where they have a battle
with defenders at a narrow
bridge over a gorge. They go
on, but things go against them.
They hold council-a woman
chieftain or priestess is shown
talking with a chief.
The Zapotecs battle them at
every turn, and finally, near the
town of Teozapotlan, their pro-
gress ends. They are broken up
into stray groups. This checks
with history as known from other
sources-the Zapotecs came into
their ascendancy in that part of
Mexico about 1900.
While this ancient Codex does
show numerous religious rituals
of the tribe, many Of these cere-
monies seem to be entirely miss
ing. 1t has been suggested that

The Codex reads from right to

little footprints on it. indicating
the road the tribe followed. The
date of each arrival or event Is
carefully inscribed in animal
symbols of the Cuicatecan CAL

The road of the wanderers
passes freHHtowH to town Bat
ties are depicted by warriors
carrying spears. clubs, shields,
bows and arrows. An arrow near
any town shows that it was con-
quered. Numerous human sac
rifices are shown. DIR. Tompkins
explains that the principal reason
the Invaders marched on and
went to war was to capture pris-
oners for these human sacrifices.
Their religion was a simple
one. They worshiped the sun as
the male diety who fortified the
female earth and made her fruit
full. A fruitful earth was of the
utmost Importance to these peo-
pie who depended almost entirely
on good yields of maize and other
crops for their livelihood.
They believed that by raising
a man or woman above the earth
on a scaffold or altar. the victim
was brought nearer to the god
and thus partly deified AS a
climax TO this ritual the victim
was slain and his. or her life
blood poured onto the earth. thus
giving it new life and making the
crops grow
After what probably was many
years, the Invaders arrived at a
town named Ocelotla, which is
indicated by a life-like drawing
Of an ocelot with sharp claws.
The word ocelotl apparently in
cluded the ocelot, jaguar, tiger
and other members of the cat
family and such animals played
an impressive role in the lives
of these early people.
In his remarkable book Magyar
and Mexican Origins" where he
skillfully traces the earliest
beginnings of many Of the SYM
bols of the ancient Americans,
Professor Leo Wiener of Harvard
University explains that soldiers
frequently dressed in the skin Of
a jaguar. especially if they were
seeking victims for the sacrifice.
These skins were buried with the
dead. being regarded as among
the most priced of their posses
sions.
From Ocelotla the tribe moved

DEMOCRACY NOW

Inc Roosevelt executive order AGAINST
discrimination In defense industries sets
a memorable precedent that ought to
encourage action adequate to secure
to all loyal citizens opportunity for
equal and identical service in the conn
trys armed forces. In the Army.
Navy and Military Aviation democracy
has to come some time," to use Mayor
La Guardia's blunt remarks BANNING
hyphenated Americans, "and it might
as well be now" Indeed, it had better
be promoted and installed now in the
armed forces and everywhere else in the
nation when we are confronted with the
gravest crisis in all our history. While
ruthless force steadily extends its
dominion over the earth, it is high time
to submerge pet prejudices and dis
likes In an altogether defense effort
In which the only joining prerequisite
should be loyalty to the country.
Inasmuch as the Army, Navy and
Air Corps belong to all the people,
alike to the rich and poor of every
creed, color and national origin, nobody
can dispute the right of all to share
and share equally in military service.
To assure that the right of all for parti-
cipation In armed defense is kept open
and untrameled, what is needed at this
very hour in all governmental depart
ments is something akin to the Roose-
veltian brand of courage coupled with
a determination to promote democracy
now, not tomorrow but now, without
further delay.
As a nation we are committed to a
democratic way of life. We ought, then
to be "up and doing" and to stop
dawdling and waiting for emocracy
somehow to turn up'' without the ex,
penditure of human effort to bring the
democratic concept to full reality
Democracy 'has to come sometime" anC
its pathway has 70 made smooth by
the removal Of the distractions Of sci
fish and shortsighted men. And it does
seem infinitely more desirable to abolish
selishness and intolerance in the inter
est of national unity and morale volun
tarily and now, as BELTS a great fret
and independent people, than to b,
driven to it finally, as Britain was, by
the whip-lashing fear of totalitariar
domination.
