FRIDAY, MAY 20. 1921 ; POLISH POTATOES USED IN PERFUME Alcohol in Famous Eau de Cologne Made From Silesian Tubers. BY MIRIAN TEICHNER. Cortespondence of The Ktar. | COLOGNE, Germany, May :n.fi'rnel relation between Polish potatoes and the price of eau de coiogne is not one of the obvious things in life. And I yet, it one is possessed of a curiosity as to whether eau de cologne is made | in Cologne. and sailies forth to find out, it soon develops that potatoes land perfume have something more {than alliteration in common. In the Glockengasse—its old num- ber was 4711. whi the cologne— first. a trifle coldly. There seems to be an impression prevalent in Ger- man factories that all callers come for the purpose of being shown through the works and walking off { with the priceless secrets of produc- tion. One is Informed. forthwith, that the process of manufacturing the real eau de cologne. which one is told is {imitated but not equaled throughout |the world, is secret. and_that visitors in the factory are not allowed. Once jone succeeds, however. in persuading those in possession that one is not a perfume spy. and is merely possessed lof a curiosity as to whether eau de | cologne is born in that city, and how the shortage and price of alcohol have aftected its manufacture, the tenor!) changes Herr Georg Leonhardt makes you welcome, and discusses potatoes and iperfume with verve and charm | Alcohol From Silesia. | The aleohol with which the eau de cologne was made came from pota- toes grown in that part of nornern | Silesin which is now apportioned to Poland. That particular alcohol is no longer on the German markct. and the { manufacturers of the original and only eau de cologne are able to buy {only a tenth of the alcohol they need. rationed as they are by the govern- ment. and further hampered by the fact that the spirit. which before the war cost from 68 to 70 pfennig a litre. now costs 22 marks, and with the new | tax about to be imposed by the gov- ernment, will cost in the neighbor- hood of ‘63 marks, Manufacturers of the eau de co- logne claim that theirs is not a lux- ury product. They insist it is muech used in sickrooms. is excellent for headaches, and that. for that reason, | it is a necessity and not a luxury and; should be exempt from prohibitive | taxation. To this point, however, the government has given no sign of | showing that it considers “4711" es- {sential to the health and welfare of the race. and the coming tax. it ap- pears. wili not’be abrogated. i No Longer in Bath Water. H And so Germah ladies who once poured theé fragrant stuff into their bath water—it used to cost 1 mark 75 pfennig for a four-ounce bottle, now costs 25 marks, and it is soon to cost between 40 and 50—now treas- ure it as though it were the distilled juiee of pure gold. The very manu- facturers of it themselves admit, with regret. that thev no longer pour it into their bath water. and say sadly that they use it only sparingly in their shaving water. There afe, of course. other factors| in the increase of the price. Men who make their living in_the poetic pursuit of getting cau de cologne ready for the worfd now earn the large sum of 300 marks a week. Their ibefore-the-war stipend approximated about a tenth of that sum. The young women who paste the fancy blue and gold labels on the bottles earn also a vastly increased stipend—al] of 140 marks a week. | And as to those blue-and-gold la- bels, there's another thing. The pa- per of whish ‘they aré made comes from the unoccupied region of Ger- many. So does the gold with which it is printed. With the new customs boundaries now established, and cut- ting off thé Rhine regions from the rest of Giermany. they are taxed, like every other product not both produced and ‘consumed in the surrounded re- gion, both coming in as raw material | and going out as finished product. | Which is just another small detail in the numerous factors which go to | {raise the price of a single relatively junimportant product like cau de co {logne. It is just another detail. too, | in the numerous factors which cause the producers cf 4711 to say that they will shortly be working their factory | establishing indefinite service, mum ice consumption.

D.. May 20.— With all the ceremony accorded @ chieftain in bygone days, Albert Grass, twenty-one years old, last chief of the Dakota Sioux Indians who was killed while fighting in France, was buried today. Mingled with the Indian rites were serv- —ices of the Ameérican Legion and religious ~eremony of the local Catholic church. Over three thou- sand Indians attended. The final resting place for the young chief is Hely Hill. a spot sacred to the Indians. where the last great sun dance of the Sioux was held. Grass' body reached here from France this week. The White Horse Riders had charge of the Indian ceremonics. consisting mainly of chanting dances, which lasted throughout last night. The White Horse Riders is composed of middle-aged war- riors who won membership in the organization many years dgo through special bravery. Maj. A. B. Welch, the only white man to be adopted by the Dakota Sioux tribe as a blood brother: Rev. A. T. Tibbetts and Claud Killspotted delivered eulogies. After the White Horse ceremo- nial. regulation military funeral services were conducted by the legion. three days a week instead of full time, though, of course, the German ady who is bitterly disaprointed be- raus she can no longer afford to flavor her bath with alcohol and orange blossoms is not going to think about that. Ah, ves, and talking of orange blossome, those from which the eau de cologne is made no longer come from the south of France. They are now Italian orange blossoms. The manufacturers of 4711 also make soap. Once it sold for 50 pfen- nig, and now it sells for 6 marks 15 pfennig. It is made from tallow im- ported from England. America and Holland, and its manufacturers, even with the lessened purcaasing juw.: of their mark on the forcign market, consider themselves and the public lucky to get it at any price.
