HARDING PEOPLE WORRIED tBY RUMORS OF DAUGHERTY They Think He Is Unfitted for Attorney-Generalship Daugherty Owes More to Harding Than Harding Owes to Him, Po litically Ohio Politician Is a Rough-and-Ready Type, Not at All of Judicial Poise H.r MARK SULLIVAN opyrijcht 1921 by N. Y. Pout, Inc.) WASHINtJTOX, Jan. 8. The assump- ion that Senator Harding will offer the' ""st of attorney general to Harry URherty rests on the theory that ''riling is under obligations to Daugh i'ty. Omitting the fact that the pay wnt of an obligation by means of a ; '"nftt ofrwee woubj TJe seriously Im f0PT and contrary to everything we :mw. of Harding's point of view to jMrd his cabinet appointments, evon the I'ry that Harding Is under any such alligation to Daugherty is in itself at mi.

' AdvlMerx Are Worried It is true that some of Harding's ad visers ambng the senators and others at "Washington are ebneerned over the repeated rumors about the possibility of Daugherty being offered the attor ney general's office. Nine out of ten of the men whom Harding regards as his soundest andimost loyal counsellors would advise Harding emphatically not to give the attorney generalship ' to Daugherty, if Harding should ask their advice. v , Some of -these advisers, in fact, have thought of giving this advice to Hard ing of their own initiative, but have felt restrained by the thought that it is rather too personal a matter and that the thing is not to be thought of, anyhow. Daugherty himself would be the first to recognize how deplorable it would be to make him attorney general. ,Daugherty is a rough-and-ready politi cian of the old scnooi. we is not tne sort of lawyer out of whom attorney generals are -made. The attorney' gen eral is of all the offices within the gift of Harding that one which most surely cats!" for not only eminence among lawyers, but also for complete freedom on the- part of the occupant from po litical obligations and even from polit ical associations. The attorney general's-office is in the same class with the justices of the su preme court, and no man should be made attorney general .who is not fltted to pass from that office to the supreme' court. In fact,' two of the present jus tices of the supreme court, McIConna and McReynolds, . came to the bencn directly " from the attorney general's office. - Unfitted, for Place . The attorney general's office is . In reality almost as much a judicial of fice as the supreme court. Apart from a score of other considerations, Harry Daugherty Is about the mostu njudicial Of men. Both by ms temperament uu because of his long political rough-and-ready experience, Daugherty is a man to who mall the. world is divided into friends who are to be helped and enemies who are to be punished. The very qualities that make Daugh erty successful as a politician and, in many ways, likable as a man, would make him a grave misfit as attorney general. He- is courageous ana no always fighting. , His personal gener osity, if not his Judgment, would re strain him from subjecting Harding to what everybody knows would follow serious suggestion that Harding should make him attorney, general. The .digging W or old charges, he rehashing of old investigations, the re hashing of Daugherty's career as a pol itician wouM he painful to both. Even if Daugherty weir : willing; to go through It hlmseir. he would hardly be willing to drag Hardingrthrough it, nor be the chief cause of such a shock as his appointment would be to the present trustfulness of the public that Harding will appoint to each of the cabinet posts the highest available leader - in his field: WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 Milady Amer ica paid $4,972,541 during the fast year for perfumes, cosmetics and toilet prep arations, a fact which has led to con fused speculation by mere man as to what sh did with them.' The real romance,. and adventure in the statement lies not so much in the uses to which these imports were put as where they came from a story which is related today in the following bulletin from the Washington head quarters of the National Geogranhic society: "When you pay the apothecary a sum that seems like a dollar a whiff for something that delights your senses or if you are especiallyfastidious, have him compound the scent that 'suits' your personality, .did you ever stop to wonder where his precious ingredients came from? The sunny isles and land? along the Mediterranean probably grew some of the flowers, . others perhaps were plucked by dark Moorish hands in Algeria, and Mayhap an animal in the brooding hills of western China gave Its life to furnish one constituent of the" perfume. "The vegetable kingdom" is necessa rily the most fertile source of per fumes. Prom its flowers such as the rose and jessamine, and from fts seeds, woods and barks such as the spices and sandalwood, even the most' fastidious connoisseur would be able to select either some simple odor , or a complex bouquet. Nor are they or perfumes alone, but for scenting soap, cream, pomades, and in making flavorings and extracts. "Rosemary, thyme, sweet basil, and marjoram are found in great profusion in Mediterranean "countries, and here the chemist can distill the whole plant and not bother about picking- the flow ers. Shakespeare, the unfaifing natur alist that he was, made no error when he chose for Opfielia the flowers she scattered. "The old-fashioned lavender flowers in which our -grandmothers used to pack the household linen and their rich old laces grow best In France and Eng land. A temperamental flower it might be called too, for unless the climate, soil and altitude suit, it refuses to give its usual fragrance. Fine grades of the plants are grown (in the' Drome re gion, France, at an altitude of 2,600 feet, while the flowers generally con sidered to have' the most agreeable Tragrance come from the Mitcham dis trict of England, where the conditions of soil and altitude are decidedly dif ferent from those in -France. "The rose geranium, which has such an exquisite odor is also grown and distilled in France, but Spain. Algiers, and the island of Reunion engage in the industry. Unlike the lavender, how ever, the perfume of the rose geranium comes from its leaves and not from the flowers. ' "But the country that might well be known by its scent is Bulgaria, for its rose crop is second only to its tobacco. Over 12,500 acres of land in the pro vinces of Philippopolis and Stara Za gora are given over to the growth of rose from the petals of which attar of roses is distilled. In the wonderful gardens at Kazanlik, Karlovo, KUsoura and Stara Zagora the best of the flow ers are grown. The fields are arranged much after the fashion of the vineyards of France and Italy, and the half-open, dew-laden buds, which have very few petalsfi are snipped off by diligent girls, boys and women In the early mornings of May and June. "About 4,000 pounds of roses are pro duced on an acre of land, but it takes about two hundred pounds of petals to produce an, ounce of oil, for an attar which before the -war cost about $250 a pound. "Roses are grown in other parts of the Balkans, as well in Asiatic Tur key where they were introduced by Ahmed Vefik, the noted Turkish states man and man of letters, in the latter half of the nineteenth century, and in India, Persia, and Fayum province in Egypt, and in France. The industry lately has been introduced into Ger many. "Many of the countries of Europe have for centuries successfully distill ed oil from such seeds as caraway, anise, and fennel for flavoring and scenting purposes, and the citrus fruits of Italy and Sicily yield quantities of valuable oil. In fact so fragrant are the flowers and shrubs of some of the Islands of the Mediterranean that they are called the Spice Islands of Europe as the Molucca archipelago in the Dutch East Indies are known as the Spice islands on account of the nut megs, mace, and cloves that they pro duce. Napoleon said that . he would know his native land, Corsica, with his eyes shut by the odor of the white flowered cistus. "Frankincense, which is one of the chief aromatic constituents of the in cense btirned in churches, is the gum resin of a -tree found in East Africa, Arabia, and on the island of Socotra in the Indian ocean. "Ladies and gentlemen in the time of Napoleon used the tonquin bean, a native of Guiana, to scent their snuff boxes." ' "" ' -' "The animal perfumes are extremely limited In number. , Ambergris is se creted by the sperm whale, civit by the animal of the same name, and musk by the musk-ox, the musk-rat, and the musk-deer, which is found in the high Himalayas, Tibet, and in eastern Sibe ria, About 15,000 ounces of musk, usu ally In the grain form, are annually, im ported to the United States from China and India. Musk h.as one peculiar and almost -Inexplicable characteristic. One grain of it kept freely exposed to the air of a well ventilated room, will, im pregnate the atmosphere for ten years without sensibly diminishing in weight." . ' .. V-:- . " .

"Because of the volume of unemploy ment throughout the country today no accurate figures as to the number of women employed in industries at pres ent as compared with- the War period are obtainable. -, "I believe that when figures of the 1920 census are available they will show more than 12,000,000 women in gainful occupation.

The Robeson county board of agriculture was or fell against a circle saw at the W. P. McAllister sawmill, near Lumberton. The little finger of Mr. Britfs left hand was also cut off by" the saw. The un fortunate young man stepped upon the carriage and lost his balance, falling against the saw. He had only worked at the mill two days. The farmers of Robeson are slow about purchasing any commercial fer tilizer and many of them declare 'they will not buy a pound until the selling price is lowered considerably. Mrs. W. C.
