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.

NDUSTRY STUDIES CONBINED ODORS | Rank Smells Utilized to Pro- duce Pleasant Aromas 0.‘ Hamilton, N. Y. July 10 (P— Early arrival of a new era of sweet | smells was forecast today by Dr. 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 perfumer's 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 & minute percentagc of some power- | ful chemical. The new partner, called an industrial aromatic, may | be _equally evil smelling. But the combination of the two bad odors | produces sweet or a pleasant | one Industry, says Dr. Laird in a sur- | vey irsued 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 perspiration, garlic sec- ond, rubber third and kerosene fourth. Both rubber and keroscne, said Dr. 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 sail 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 disguises. | Scientist Credited 1 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 linseed oil odor in some artificial Jeathers so | as to produce a pleasant effect The same principle Dr. Laird | 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 oren air odors of the “gas house™” type.

Her effects include more than a dozen religious pictures, medals and crucifixes, upon each of which she implants a kiss before answering the call to the stage.

Huston was one of the most active in the presidential campaign of Mr. Hoover. William G.

Huston Full of Fight Washington, July 10 (f) — Full of fight, Chairman Huston of the re- publican national committee today faced the officers of his committee who are calling for his immediate retirement. In advance of today's meeting, he served notice he would fight it out | for his position against the attacks| of party leaders in congress and of his own committee. | It is one of the most bitter quar- | the republican organization ident Hoover were anxiously look- ing for a settlement which would avoid a wide open break in the par-| ty's fold | Today's meeting of the officers of | the national committee was_called by Huston several days ago for the purpose of mapping out plans for the fall campaign. It has developed into a showdown contest between Huston and the party leaders who| are demanding his retirement. Conferences Held After rounds of conferences at the White House and at the capitol the | republican leaders were determined to ask today for Huston's early with- drawal. However, he returned to the city late last night and stated em- phatically he had no intention of re- signing. Two courses were under consider- ation for today by the party leaders. They are prepared to ask Huston to call a special meeting of the execu-| tive committee. This committee | alone has the power to remove and to replace national party officers. It Huston declines to do this, they. are | ing a majority of the members to favor the meeting. Others contend the whole issue over Huston is up to President| Hoover. Mr. Hoover conferred with Huston on Sunday night and told | him of the opposition to him but he did not ask for the resignation. Enemies Get Busy Then it became known that Hus- | ton had no intention of resigning. Thereupon, his-foes, who had been confidently expecting his retirement | as soon as congress adjourned, got | busy. They determined to have it out | with him today. | The trouble over Huston started at the time he testified before the senate lobby committee that he had | solicited funds a year ago for the| Ternessee River Improvement As- sociation in behalf of its lobby for the private leasing of the Muscle | Shoals, Alabama, power and nitrate plant. Huston said he collected $31,- | 000 for this work from the Union | Carbide Company and deposited it in his brokerage account before| turning it over to the association. | Demands were made at that time that Huston retire and the word was | circulated he would withdraw as soon as congress adjourned Later, Huston was confronted by a group of national party leaders in- cluding two cabinet members and bluntly told that his services for the party had been impaired. He declin- ed absolutely to get out while under tire. Leaders Urge Retirement | Today, the party officers were | prepared to tell Huston that almost all of the republican members of the house who are up for re-election this year and most of the senate re- publicans desire his retirement. Senator Moses, of New Hamp- shire, chairman of the republican senatorial campaign committee, | alone of those called to today’'s con- ference was believed to be standing with Huston The others here for the meeting V. Pomeroy, of New Jersey, a vice chairman; Joseph R. Nutt of Ohio, treasurer; James Francis Burke, of Pennsylvania, counsel; Representative Wood of In- diana, chairman of the rapublican | congressional committee; and Matt | Chilton, of Kentucky, who has the proxy of Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, of that state, a vice chairman. Senator Fess of Ohio, has been slated to succeed Huston if and when he retires. Robert Lucas of | Kentucky, the commissioner of in-| ternal revenue, is favored to be nam- ed as executive chairman in charge of organization work. A conference at republican head- quarters followed Huston's arrival last night. It was learned the party chairman reiterated his refusal to relinquish his post. Those who at- tended the meeting included Burke and Earle S. Kinsley, national com- | mitteeman for Vermont. Mrs. W. L .Sloane 81 W. MAIN ST. Professional Bldg.
