Egypt Started 1t
First to DistU Perfume From Flo,Uers
By Rebecca Woodrcard

orange, and brown following In
that order. Orange and brown
are often unpleasant in scent,
white flowers seldom. II ever, so.
However. what pleases one person
may have an opposite effect on
another; thus the strong odor Of
the French marigold is enjoyed
by some while others consider 1t
most Objectionable.
Bulgarian otto (attar) Of roses
perhaps the finest of all per-
fume oils--is derived from the red
damask rose. Authorities agree
that this variety best represents
the pure or true" fragrance OF
the rose. Climatic and soil con-
ditions In Bulgaria combine to
give it an unusually high essen
tial oil content.
The odor of the rose Is surpris-
ingly varied. Some types exude
a fragrance closely resembling
that of mignonette or jasmin:
others possess delicate fruity
odor. Certain varieties have no
odor at all--while a few are &C
tually offensive to the nostrils.
1t Is rather hard to imagine the
delicate Towering rose, tuberose,
jasmin, lavender and violet, grow
ing as field crops and being har-
vested In bulk. Yet such is the
case in countries where those
plants are grown commercially
for their valuable flower oils. In
the past, France, along with her
island possessions of Reunion and
Madagascar, harvested a large
part of the worlds perfume
"crop." Bulgaria accounted for
most of the altar Of roses. A
fragrant oil distilled from the
leaves of the bitter orange tree
was Italy's main contribution.
According to informed sources,
Hitler has put stop to all such
frivolous" agriculture.
Our peacetime imports Of
sachets and flower oils amounted
to millions of dollars worth an
nually. American growers were
never able to compete with the
long established and highly spe-
cialized industry found in North
Africa, in certain sections Of
Europe and in countries border
ing on the Indian Ocean. For all
practical purposes these sources
of supply no longer exist. Only
small amounts Of flower pro-
duce are arriving from India,
none at all from Europe and little
from Africa.
With their stock of essential
oils running low, American per-
fumers are now, of necessity.
turning to the chemist for help
during this emergency period.
And the chemist Is responding by
"distilling" synthetic fragrances
that are said to rival in delicacy
the best the flower world has to
offer.
And milady will do well to
guard the precious perfume that
she has and keep it carefully
stoppered, away from light and

From a W0man's Angle
Should Children Tattle' on Parents?

group. 1t has been an essential
ingredient of the American char
acter, along with the conviction
that our country must be fought
for and defended when in peril.
If then, loyalty to parents is to
be cast aside, might it not follow
that loyalty to our country can
also go down in the general well
ter Of destruction?
The Commandment is clear:
Honor thy father and thy
mother, as the Lord thy God
hath commanded thee, that thy

What can you do to conserve
the heat in your house this win
ter? If it will be necessary to
live with less fuel, there are
several items which should be
checked before cold weather
comes.
First, be sure that your heat
making apparatus is in its best
working order. This includes
your furnace and any additional
equipment in the way of fire.
places, electric heaters, oil heat
ers and similar gadgets. Next to
that is insulation, filling up all
the cracks and crevices where
cold air may penetrate, and last
of all, shutting off the part Of
the house that may not be neces-
sary to the comfort of your
family.
Most fuel dealers have been in
formed that there may be reduc-
tions in delivery of all types of
fuel, knowing this, they are Of
fering their customers an eff
cient checking service, by compe-
tent men, to be sure that heating
equipment in the house is prop
erly cleaned, expertly repaired
and functioning at top efficiency.
Proper cleaning of f1ues will often
save IL per cent of heat loss.
Checking drafts and dampers,
caulking cracks and attending to
similar minor details will con-
serve much more. Fireplaces
that are not used should have
their f1ues closed to prevent heat
loss, and those that are used put
in safe working order. Electric
heaters and portable oil burners,
which are so very helpful in pro-
viding additional warmth for
children during bath time or for
mvalids, also should be inspected.
Insulation can reduce heat
losses by as much as SO per cent.
Most of us with plenty of fuel
and modern heating apparatus
overlook this important item, but
this type of waste will have to
stop. An unfinished attic may be
insulated against the roof by wall
board, or across the floor by lay
ing moisture-proof paper between
the joists and filling up to floor
level with poured-ty insulation.
This is simple process that may
be done by any householder.
Cold walls between the garage
and house or similar points may
be covered with insulation felt or
wall board. Doors to porches and
unused sections of the house may
be sealed with masking tape, and
large opening in the form of
an arch from one room to the
other or into halls may be closed
with wall board partitions and a
small door. Storm doors and
windows and weatherstripping
are other items which should not
be overlooked in keeping every
degree of heat where it does the
most good.
With part of the family off to
school it is quite possible that
rooms may be planned so that
section of the house may be shut
off. This will conserve all fuel
available to keep the living quar-z
ters comfortable.
An ideal method Of doing this
is to shut off top floor or wing
of the house. Though closed
doors and turned off radiators
in one room provide some saw
ing and should not be over
looked, a whole wing Or complete
floor shut off saves the heat that
would be used in that space, and
the unused area acts as an insu-
lation for the heated part of the
house.

home owner may accomplish
them with no professional help.
This is the time to get materials
and finish the work so that the
barriers will be in place when
the cold winds of fall arrive.
Every week that you can put of
turning on the furnace is that
much fuel saved. Most of us
think of drifting snow and ice as
the greatest fuel users, but each
passing breeze which is detected
from your walls during Septem-
ber and October helps to make q

cember and January.

In recent broadcast Mayor
La Guardia of New York City,
in response to a complaint writ
ten him by small boy that his
father was gambling away the
family money on horses, urged
all youngsters confronted with
similar problem to tell him about
it and he would send police to
close up the gambling place.
While the whole matter smells
family but unmistakably of the
Father, Dear Father, Come
Home to Me Now" era, loaded
with tear jerking possibilities, the
Mayor undoubtedly meant well in
his proposal to save pappy from
the ponies. In his big-hearted
way, he intends to reform fathers
with a tendency to prefer some
nag's nose to the family's welfare
and thus dry the tears of little
George and Matilda who can be
imagined clinging to the skigts OF
their sobbing, work-worn mother
and begging for one last crust of
stale bread. ct is more likely
that George and Matilda are sit
ting cozily in a warm schoolroom,
full of hot lunch, while mother is
off getting a permanent with the
proceeds of her last exploration
through pappy's pockets.)
The Mayors ooze into senti-
ment, therefore, is harmless in
itself-but the implications found
in a second thought of the matter
are something else again.
One of the things that we
have most abhorred, in fact or
fiction, is the betrayal of parents
by their stony-hearted children
in the countries controlled by
dictators. Compared to these
murderous and inhuman brats
the daughters of King Lear were
devoted and ministering angels.
The encouragement of spying and
betrayal by the Gestapo and other
brutal agencies has been one of
the most shameful debasements
suffered by the peoples under
their rule. The fundamental vir-
tues of honor and loyalty have
been cast aside as unworthy of
a strong race; the sinister and
inhuman traits of treachery and
dishonor have replaced them.
1t is, therefore, grave thing,
that Mayor La Guardia, however
innocently, implies. What he
suggests strikes hard at the very
roots of American honor. There
has been a whisper here and
there suggesting that we tattle on
our neighbors who do not seem to
be observing all the rules OF
car pooling, gas conservation and
the like, but such whispers have
been quickly stifled, as being un-
true to the American way OF
life. And this was only matter
of neighbors, mind you, The
Mayors suggestion goes farther
that children should turn tat
tle-tale on their parents.
If this Is a shadow of things
to come, then indeed America
has fallen upon evil days. Our
children have been brought up,
from generation to generation,
to respect their parents, to be
loyal and true to the family

SAVE THE FORESTS,
SAYS FOREST WARDEN

Let's ask ourselves, are we
true Americans. If so, we will
not see our forests go up in
flames and our country at wal
and needing all of our raw ma
terials that our forests can pro-
duce to house our boys in while
training to defend America from
a dictatorship, while we have
the privilege of staying home.
We should see that the products
Ct our forests are used as intend
ed:
l. To house men and boys in
training.
2. For building ships to trans
port soldiers, supplies and arms,
3. Planes to carry the war to
our enemies.
If we have a careless neighbor
Or friend who violates the forest
laws, let's not allow him to re-
peat the offense because we hate
to squeal on him, for he can
avoid starting fires.
If we take the proper precau-
tons before starting to burn
brush OR other things on our
farms, trouble will be avoided.
Do not forget that it is VIOLA
ton to start a fire on your own
farm until after 4 p. m.

money to go to a good art school sometime. And lately she'd thought that if she and Tom got married it would buy her wedding clothes and be down payment on some furni- ture.
 But the rebellious impulse that had seized her in art class was still Smoldering within her. It wasn't right that one should never have anything that one really wanted Why should she put her savings into their marriage? Tom didn't have any. Tom was just putting himself in. He probably thought that that was boon enough for any girl.
 Enid's little white face suddenly became set, and a new light blazed in her usually timid eyes. For once she was going to do something she wanted to do, regardless of conse quences!
 She had another inspiration, one that salved her conscience. She'd take $50 of her savings and send Lefty and the children up to the lake with Pop and Nom. Then she wouldn't feel so guilty in doing what she wanted to with the rest of 1t.
 She bought paper next day at lunch time and scanned the Apart ments for Rent column while she ate. A nice apartment, she had de- cided, would be cheaper than ho- tel. She could do her own cooking and save on the food item. That would leave her more money for clothes and incidentals.
 An address halfway down the list caught her attention. Worthing Arms, Arlington. That certainly sounded swanky. She read on: A. rm. apt. Frigidaire. Janitor Serv- ice. Completely furnished" She tore 1t out and put 1t in her purse.
 But by evening her resolution had weakened. It was with great deal of trepidation that she took the Ar lington bus, instead of the one she usually rode.
 She was sure that she'd never have the nerve to go through with her crazy plan. It was too insane. Why, that preciously saved $350 would almost furnish small apart ment, complete. She was too sen- sible to squander 1t. But she'd look at the apartment in Arlington any way. It would be nice to see inside really nice one. and she might get some ideas for furnishing her own later.
 The Worthing Arms proved to be "a rambling, winged, brick building set back of wide, beautifully shrubbed lawn.

paused thoughtfully. You've got g whole months vacation coming Enid. You know you skipped yours last year when all those girls at the office were sick with summer, flu Maybe you could get it now, and Enid leaned down and kissed her mothers flabby cheek. Now, don't start worrying about me, Nom. I'll be all right here. You two go up to the lake and enjoy yourselves. l doubt if I could get my vacation on such short notice"
 She didn't like Q fish, and she couldn't swim well enough to ven- ture far in lake water. She Wor- dered what in the world she would do with a whole month to spend in typically crowded, noisy, incon- venient, summer resort.
 But she was glad that Nom and Pop had the chance to go and said so again. They would enjoy it. Don't fuss around making a lot of preparations, she urged. Go this weekend. Phil will drive you up if you ask him."
 Alone in her own room, she re- membered that she hadn't said anything to Nom and Pop about her brand-new engagement. And she began to wonder again why she had lied to Tom. He'd find out that she wasn't going away-she'd have to tell him. It had been such a senseless thing to do
 It would be nice, though, If she could go away for a month or six weeks and do just as she liked have sort of fling at life-before she settled down forever as Mrs. Thomas Driscoll.
 She sad down on the edge of her bed day dreaming about It. What would she do if she could do just as she liked for a month? Live in a hotel or a nice apartment! Meet interesting people-the kind of peo- pie she'd always wanted to know! Pretend that she really was what she longed to be, an artist! Wear beautiful clothes!
 The idea was so breath taking that she blinked stupidly. Just the thought of 1t made her dizzy.
 She got up after a moment and picked up her purse and pulled out a thin bank book. Three hundred and fifty dollars was the last bal ance, entered in neat black fig ureS, She had saved it painfully during the six years she had been working. Saved it by stinting her lunches, and buying plain service able clothes instead of the ones she really wanted, and by doing her own hair and nails.

VACATION PLANS CHAPTER III

That you, Enid?" Nom called sharply from upstairs as Enid closed the front door behind her. Nom never went to sleep until Enid was in for the night.
 "Yes, Mom."
 Mom's voice went on with its usual complaint. "It's about time Tom Driscoll's no business keeping you out until this time of night, and every night. What do you suppose the neighbors think?"
 Sara Sharon had had three daughters. Lefty was married. Ka- tie had died as a child, and Enid well, no one was going to say that one of her daughters wasn't good girl. And she didn't trust Tom Driscoll any farther than she could see him.
 Enid's face twisted little as she climbed the stairs. Tn way Mom would be glad If she did marry Tom. Then she wouldn't have to worry any more about her virtue. And yet she wouldn't like 1t altogether either. For Enid was the meal tick ct, now that Pop couldn't work any more.
 Nom spoke again as Enid reached the upper hall. Come in here. honey. I've got something to tell you" There was an excited tre- mor in her voice.
 "What-?" Enid began.
 But Nom didn't give her time 10 finish. We got a letter from Aunt Faye today" Aunt Faye was Nom s sister. the one who had married money. "She says she hasn't been able to rent one of her cottages this summer, and we can have 1t for 8 month, free"
 Enid sat down on the side of the bed beside her mother. Pop rolled over on his side facing her, his fad- ed blue eyes sparkling with excite ment. They were both as pleased as children at Christmas time.
 That's grand, Mom." Enid caught 0eir enthusiasm. "YoulI have to gent a rowboat, you and Pop, and you can fish to your hearts con- tent.''
 T Wsa just wondering" Nom
