By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Oct. 25—Monsieur Alfred Weill is not one of the big noses in the perfume business. He is, perhaps, one of the smaller noses, but his nephew Jean Pierre, he is one of the big noses. There are only 10 big noses in the world. Since talking with M. Weill, whose firm, Parfums Weill, puts out a variety of scents including one called Cobra, I have become extremely noseconscious. While I will never be a big nose, in the expert sense, there is some hope for me, because I can smell music, - Monsieur Weill says any man who can smell music is not entirely insensitive. “The French writer, De Maupassant,” says M. Weill, “Never knew whether he was hearing perfume or smelling music. That is the true sensitivity.” When M. Weill says nose, he does not mean your nose or my nose or. just any old nose. He uses the word nose in the sense baseball fans say Babe Ruth. In the perfume business a big nose is one which is capable of sniffing, sniffing, sniffing, maybe for months, until suddenly the nose says to its owner “Voila! We now have an odeur to drive men wild.”

Superior to Tea-Tasfers

NOSES, M. WEILL tells me, are vastly superior to tea-tasters, cognac testers or even dressmakers, since the work is so demanding of perfection, To be a nose is nearly to rule the world, since M. Weill is sure that love makes the world go round, and perfume makes love go round. Monsieur Weill’s slightly jaundiced Gallic eye looks dimly at the American woman's use of perfume, as part of her bag of feminine tricks. “Poof!” says M. Weill. “A dab behind the ear «to soon evaporate. The use of perfume which does not fit the personality. Too much perfume. Too little perfume, Zut! The American woman has no idea of the potentiality of scent. “Only the other day a woman pass me on the street. I do not see her face. I do not know her name. All I know is she smells good. For me, for a moment in this mad world, there is a pause— a brief moment of escape. To me that is a lovely woman, even if she is as ugly as a crow.”

“The American man,” says M. Weill, “have a great sensibility of mood. You know he buys 85 per cent of all the perfume that is sold? And so he take it home to his wife or his sweetheart and she let it sit on the bathroom shelf in-a, bottle. What good is perfume in a bottle? Perfume is no good unless it is on a woman.” Monsieur Weill took a dropper and spilled a little scent on my hand. “Watch,” he said. “You will notice that you raise your hand to sniff at it, and as you sniff you will relax. You will feel pleasant. Your nose will lead you to relaxation.

Charges Nose Is Neglected “WE DO not place enough importance on the nose,” M. Weill continued. “Man often thinks through his nose. Women lead men around by the nose. Decisions are made from the sense of smell. The nose is as important as all the other senses, maybe more so. Aha! Aha! I see you smell your hand and as you sniff you smile!” Monsieur Weill contemplated his cigar, sniffed appreciatively at its smoke, and then sniffed his highball glass. “I know a true story once about a man who give his girl friend many francs to buy a beautiful diamond bracelet,” he said. “She goes to the jeweler and she look at the bracelet and then she says she will go away and return later to buy it. She never come back. “Two years later she meet the jeweler and he ask her why she does not buy the bracelet and she says to him that for lunch he had been eating les escargots—the snails—with garlic sauce and she smell it on him and decide not to buy the bracelet because he does not smell nice. You see? You cannot underestimate the nose.” “When you see a lovely woman in a mink coat,” M. Weill said, “You do not care whether she got the coat to keep her warm or to keep her quiet. In a way, it is like that with perfume. There is no mystery, no real drama to perfume. It is just that a woman who smell good is nicer than one who does not smell at all.” I believe I mentioned before that M. Weill, while not a big nose, does sell perfume, and might be a trifle prejudiced in its favor.

Thieving Squirrels

By Frederick C. Othman

McLEAN, Va., Oct. 25—It’s frosty in the hills of Virginia these mornings. The leaves are turning Technicolor, the squirrels are stealing nuts that cost me 63 cents a pound in the chain grocery, the horse is growing himself a fine, new overcoat and winter, obviously, is upon us. 3 Only this year, as a transplanted city man in the country, I'm not dreading it. I'm waiting

=q# anxiously for the first hig snow to see how my

preparations work. The snowplow, which I ordered more than a year ago, arrived this August. It hitches on to the front of my tractor and I've been practicing with it ever since, moving mud. It works fine; I think I've been snow-bound on my own road for the last time. Then there is the little matter of my bride's sunlamp, which she bought for her health’s sake. She never got to use it last winter, because I kept it most of the time thawing the water pipes at the barn. This left Mrs. O. pale for more reasons than one, but this winter she can have her lamp.

Installs Frostproof Faucets

I HAVE INSTALLED in the chicken house and the barn frostproof faucets, which give water at 20 below. Like all great inventions, they are simplicity, itself. The valve that turns on the water is buried three feet beneath the earth where it can’t freezé; an iron rod reaches down to this. The water gushes up through a pipe, which drains itself when the faucet is shut, When we bought our beaten-up old house in Fairfax County there were so many brambles, bushes and stands of honeysuckle in the back pasture that we didn’t know what was underneath. We evenfually got these cleaned out and dis-

closed to our own amazement a concrete rootcellar, a pioneer installed a couple of generations 0. ed This we have fitted with a new door, as on a refrigerator; inside on straw-lined racks we have placed a few dozen bushels of our best apples which, according to the Agriculture Department, should stay perfect all winter. Most of our apples had specks and/or worms. The latter, said my bride, had to be removed before I could squeeze ‘em into cider. I told her that I had read in a scientific journal where the worm was more nourishing than the apple; she said, no worms in her cider. This cider is getting harder as time goes by and I'm waiting for the first cold spell to freeze the water in same and leave me with the alcoholic essence. t

Tackles Leaf Problem THE BEAUTIFUL LEAVES, unfortunately, are fluttering earthward. There is a fellow named Harry Truman in Washington who has a leaf problem similar to my own and he has solved it with an oversized vacuum cleaner with a seat on it. : A gasoline engine does all the work and his machinery putt-putts across his lawn, sucking up the leaves as it goes. This is an expensive solution; about $700 worth. But then Mr. T. got a whopping big raise this year. Me, I've got to stick by my rake. Leaf-raking is hard work, but also a kind of satisfaction. The President burns his, I understand, but I bury mine in a pit back of thé barn. After a year of rain and sun they turn into the richest, blackest fertilizer you ever saw. It costs me nothing, except blisters, and ‘if you'll pardon me now I'll get back to producing some of the latter. .

Panel to Discuss Art in Education

12 Bus Drivers Hear Ruling Friday

Charged With ICC

Rule Violations . Twelve bus drivers charged with violation of Interstate Commerce Commission safety regulations will hear rulings in their cases Friday. Judge Robert C. Baltzell yesterday heard testimony from the Greyhound Lines drivers cited for working in excess of the prescribed 70 hours in an eight-day period. Earlier this year the Greyhound Co. was fined $1500 in federal court after pleading guilty to permitting the drivers to work excessive hours.

Claim Records False

B., Howard Caughran, U. 8. Distrlet Attorney, said the drivers kept records which showed they ‘were off duty when they were actually on call for immediate runs.

The company penalized drivers by suspending a one-fourth cent per mile bonus for 30 days after alleged offenses were discovered, accor: to testimony by Driver Oral F. Pile, 5724 Julian Ave, - If found guilty, the drivers could be fined a maximum of $5000 each.

The hours in question, according to defense arguments, were spent resting and sleeping at stopovers.

Federal Judge Robert C. BaltZell today charged with mail theft without bond so he could get a job to support his wife and two children. Earl Tolliver, 18, of 821 W. 10th St., pleaded guilty at his arraignment on charges of stealing and cashing checks and bonds totaling $357.76 from private mail boxes.

$100,000 Building Program Halted

Board Denies Plea To Waive Zoning

Plans for construction of a $100,000 office building in N. Meridian St. were halted last night, The Zoning Board denied a petition to waive zoning regulations at a public hearing. Members withheld approval on grounds that the building could too easily convert to business and industrial use in the future, ” The area, 3600. N. Meridian 8t., currently zoned for apartmen building. : Green-Case Realty Co., spon. sors of the project, had proposed construction of a one-story Bedford stone building with 10 office suites for doctors and dentists on

the southwest corner of 36th and Meridian streets.

E. N. Reynolds, whose property borders the west side of the proposed building site, appeared on the builder's behalf. The struc. ture would be an improvement in the area, he said. Members of the opposition said they would consider withdrawing their objections if assured that the building would never convert to business use if medical men vacated the offices.

Other Actions

The petition by Green-Case will be eligible for a new public hear and reconsideration in six months. In other action the board granted a variance of building height requirements at 3470 N where
