Whence Perfumes Com e
MAJORITY OF PERFUMS ARE
EXTRACTED FROM ANIMALS
OR PLANTS.
There is hardly a country in the
world from which some kind of per-
fume is not secured, say a writer '.•n
the Popular Pictorial.
The forests of Peru. the orange
groves of California, the tropical
seas, the rose gardens of southern
France, Persia and Turkey, the -wilds
of Central Asia, all yield their fra•
grance.
The great majority of perfumes
are extracted from animals or plant,.
Those of vegetable origin may come
hem the petals, as in the rose and
lavender; the seeds, as in earawsy
and nutmeg; the rind as in lemons
and oranges; the leaves, as in sage
and thyme; the bark, as in cinnamon,
or from the wood, as in sandalwood
and rosewood. Fragrant gum resin,.
such as myrrh, benzoin, and storax.
are used largely in incense and past-
illes.

A common method et obtaining
perfumes is by distillaticn. The
Crain -ant parts of the plants. are
placed in a large rete;t, and cover-
ed with water. The mixture is boil-
ed, the odorous oils or attars rise
with the steam, and are drawn off in-
to a tank near by. Here condensa-
tion takes place, and the oils are re-
moved by decanting.
One of the best known perfume -
making districts in the world is in
.southern • France, ,.round Grasse,
Cannes and Niee. Beautiful fields
of flowers lie around in all directions,
idling the lie` for miles with their de-
licate fragrance.
During the season hundreds of
men, women and ehildren may h:'
:seen busily employd harvesting the
precious blossoms.
In the laboratory great quantities
of lard, beef suet, or some other
grease are melted and clarified, and
then spread very thinly over large
sheets of glass. Thick wooden frames
allow these "ehasses" to be placed
enc above the other with an inter-
%enittg nig space, The blossoms are
then piloted on the grease and are
sencwed every day or two until th
I•tt ills ebseebed all the oder possible
Various solvents, such as eleohol and
her, ere then u;t l to di zelve the

Mark Twain, who, in addition
to being a great humorist, was
an ardent reader, went to one
of his neighbors to borrow a
book. He was told that he was
welcome to read it, but in the
owner's library.
A few weeks later, the story
goes, the same neighbor called
on Mark Twain with the request
to borrow his lawn mower. The
humorist very graciously con-
sented to his borrowing it pro-'
vided it was not taken off the
owner's lawn.

In the designing of McLaughlin -Buick for 1928, riding
ease and comfort have been given unusual consideration.
Lovejoy Shock absorbers on all four wheels absorb and
cushion every road -shock and rebound. Rubber Engine
Mountings prevent vibration from reaching the car -body.
Extra deep, resilient seat cushions, beautifully up-
holstered, are specially shaped and tailored to fit, like
an easy chair. The lower body -lines have been attained
without any sacrifice of headroom. And in finish and
appointments, McLaughlin -Buick establishes a standard
of luxury which vies with your drawing -room or club.
The G.M.A.C. Deferred Payment Plan offers many
advantages to buyers of McLaughlin -Buick cars.
