bacon, a scientist at Reading
'University has just embarked on
aA surprising quest. With the aid
Of a -class of sniffing students, he
Is trying to discover just why a

Cstabtish a standard measurement
for srllells akin to the measure-
ment of light or sound,
'With a simple instrument, the
olfactometer, Dr. G. H. Cheesinan
dilutes such chemicals as ether and
acetone,, alcohol or chloroform,
with water and air, and then dis-
covers the precise strength at
which students notice the smell.
The results are remarkably consis-
tent and Dr. Cheesinan is begin -
ging to chart the upper and lower
limits of smell just as some ex-
perts have clone isith sound deci-
bels.
In fact, it's an international smel-
ling race. In Boston, Dr. Ernest
Crocker has worked out a "spec-
trum" of smelling with thirty-two
standard odours. All smells, he
of lour primary sensations: frag-
rant, sour, burnt and "goaty." An-
other expert has launched a smell
s3ociety to encourage enthusiasts in
the appreciation of smells, A sea-
side borough council consulted it
recently when they wished to iden-
tify a stench on their promenade
which drove away visitors.
High in the recesses of the nose
the olfactory bulb is lapped in soft
liquid like a submarine detecting
radar signals and communicating
them by nerve impulses to the ad-
miralty headquarters in the brain,
Yet scientists still know nothing
of the speed or energy of the smell -

to light or sound by which we en-
joy the scent of the new -mown hay
or the umph of eau -de -Cologne.
In a museum in Munich visitors
can sniff the twenty-four herbal
scents of the world, recognizing
and savouring them with delight.
(But an .Australian aborigine can
smell water a mile sway and by
contrast the civilized nose is un-
trained and atrophied. An interest-
ing discovery at Reading is that
the nose tires easily, and is quickly
maturated by too much of one smell.
Not Skidding Around—Joseph LaRocca demonstrates his special
skid -eliminating tire dip which may soon outsell ordinary tire
chains. After eight years of no sale LaRocca has succeeder) in
getting a manhfacturer to produce the clips which are designed
to snap on when a tire passes over it. He says 'they'll provide
almost certaintraction in ice, snow or mud.
Somepeople remember smells well
and can quickly summon up in
the imagination the smell of, say,
the seaside or a country grocer's
shop.
Research into shell psychology
may soon push British exports. In
a recent test a London store placed
on sale two sets of identical rayon
stockings, One slnelled slightly of
the finishing oil used in manufac-
ture. The other had been reodor-
ized with a soft, silky smell special-
ly blended by perfumers. The lat-
ter sold out immediately to cut-
Miners who considered them of far
superior grade.
Three or four times every year
millions of dollars leave the fair
Province of Ontario, only a tiny
fraction of which ever returns. Some
of that money is ours, and, the
chances are, some of it is yours.
We are referring—in case you
haven't already guessed—to the
slough which travels in huge gobs
either to Quebec or Ireland in ex-
change for Sweepstake tickets.
* * *
Now, it is a well known fact that
the folks who carry on good works,
such as that of the Red Cross, the
St. John Ambulance Corps, and
many others, are year by year find-
ing it more and more difficult to
raise the necessary funds. Yet when
somebody suggests that we should
:support such causes by holding
Sweepstakes and Lotteries of our
own, in other words, keeping money
Oat is going to be. spent anyway
here at home where it will do some
good, the forest of uplifted hands
and cries of holy horror are some-
thing 'tremendous. Even folks who
have been buying Irish Sweep
tickets all their lives will piously
say, "Oh, it would never do to
have such things here."
* * *
Well, maybe such folks are right.
Maybe what's okay tc patronize
when it's in Dublin would be sin-
ful if held in Toronto or Hamilton;
but to us, personally, and to a whole
lot like us, it just doesn't add up
to common sense,
* * *
The opposition to lotteries and
sweepstalces is largely based on
the argument that they have been
tried in different places and failed.
Anti -lottery men—who probably go
out and sell tickets on a late model
car whenever their Lodge is put-
ting on a charity drive—will refer
you to the notorious Louisiana Lot-
teries which were filled with graft,
pay-offs and crooked management.
What they don't tell you is that
these Louisiana Lotteries were pri-
vately owned and operated by in-
dividuals tied in with politicians
who were secret partners in the
racket. It was NOT a public lot-•
tery operated by the Government.
* * *
A Government-owned and oper-
ated lottery can be run honestly,
efficiently and can help to relieve
citizens of a great deal of their tax
burden—writes Marjorie Scilken in
the Police Gazette—and for conclu-
sive proof tells of Puerto Rico, a
possession of the United States,
Dogitialte Strong—Amazing Frankfurt, Germany night club goers

yecrr-old master. Hansi, on his head. The dress worn by the small.
but mighty pooch seems to accentuate his strength.
whose experiment in a state lottery
debunks the reformers' arguments
against them.
k * *
in Puerto Rico, if you walk down
any street, you can't help seeing and
hearing the street vendors. The
sidewalks are alive with . ticket
pushers. One quarter, 25 cents, will
get you part of a ticket and for
part of a ticket you can win part
of $60,000 (first prize). Of course,
for $12.50, a whole ticket, you -could
win the whole first prize or a, •sec
and prize of $15,000 or even a',third
prize of $10,000. All you need is
a lucky number.
* * *
The winners, and you might jest
be a winner, get their small ' for-
tunes tax free. About 67 per cent
of the money taken in is paid but
in prizes. The government gets
about 18 per cent of the takeand
the remaining 14 per cent or so goes
for administration and commission
to agents and street vendors. Not
a bad breakdown for the "gambler.
The net proceeds for the , aP ar
Rican government in 1950-51 after
deducting prizes, commissions and
administrative expenses was $4,-
791,213.85. This represents about
four per cent of the Puerto Rican
budget—enough to pay for the is-
land's health service and hospital
bills.
* * *
What is you lose your quarter?
You get it back in better 'hospital
service and improved conditions on
the island. No local gambler lives
off the fat -of -the -land from your •
accumulated quarters. No cops on
the beat get paid off; there are
no investigators, no scandals, no
professional moralists. It's all on
the up and up. In a way, every-
body wins!
* * *
Everybody has been winning in
Puerto Rico for a long time. The
islanders have been watching their
lucky nuiiibers flash in lights since
a Spanish Royal decree in 1814 es-
tablished La Loteria Provincial in
Puerto Rico.
* * *
This provincial lottery ran suc-
cessfully until 1899 when the United
States occupation authorities who
took over the island, let a Puritani-
cal reform -bloc pack away the
gambling equipment, lock, stock
and hlcky numbers.
* * *
The only people the least bit
overjoyed at this piece of legisla-
tion were the professional gamblers
and thugs. They went back into
business, With the local lottery pad-
locked, foreign lottery tickets start-
ed pouring into Puerto. Rico, Some
were counterfeit, some good; all
meant that money was leaving the
island. Puerto Rico becanie a haven
for all kinds of gambling, every
game of chance; every shady op-
erator tried to fill the void left
on the island by the closing down
of the century -old lottery.
* * *
In 1934, the depression flattened
Puerto Rico. The local legislature,
casting about for restorative mea-
sures, decided to legalize the lot-
tery again. They had three ob-
jectives: (1) to raise money to
fight tuberculosis (2) as a means
of support for the poorer smunicipali-
ties (3) to curb the traffic of foreign
lotteries in Puerto Rico. The bill
was passed. The United States,
though she bad the legal means
to veto the measure, closed her
eyes; the lottery became one of
the factors that put Puerto Rico
back on its feet.
* *•
*
Reformers and blue stockings in
the 'United States scream that there
will be corruption and dishonesty,
gangsterism and hoodltimism if
there is 0 Federal lottery .in the
States,
* * *
In Puerto Rico, under the Ameri-
can flag, there has been an honest,
business -like and successful lottery
since 1934. Safeguards—dozens of
checks—have been made by the
government to insure that there will
be no wayward tinkering with the
machinery.
* * *
In June, 1950, a brand new ma-
chine was installed to draw the
lucky numbers. This Rube ,Gold-
berg concoction of wire -mesh cages,
spigots, turrets, baskets and sieves
is completely automatic. No attend-
ant touches the balls. until they
are spun and dropped out into a
mesh -sieve, one by one. They are
then strung up in the combination
in which they fall and each number
is read over the loudspeaker. These
operations are always in view of
the public.
* * * '
Each drawing—and there are 51
drawings through the year—is or-
ganized, directed and inspected by
a Board of Drawings which is
composed of three citizens of good
standing, qualified and appointed
by the Chief of the Bureau of the
Lottery. Mr, Jesus Benitez Rezach,
one of the outstanding men in
Puerto Rico, has been the Chief of
the Bureau since 1947.
* * *
If you win there is no tax on
the money at all (unless the roll
leaves Puerto Rico and enters the
U.S. in which case the prize money
has to be written -in on income tax
forms).
* * *
" What do you think? What makes
a lottery such a thing of horror
here, and O.K. in Puerto Rico under
the American flag? Why should the
Puerto Ricans get 51 chances a
year to win money—with huge jack-
pots of almost $300,000 for July
and Christmas—and Americans
have to win piddling and illegal
bets on numbers, football pools and
the foreign lotteries? Why is a gov-
ernment run lottery so certain to be
crooked in the United States, when
it's straight and l%onest in Puerto
Rico? * * *
Or, to draw a bit nearer to home,
if the Puerto Ricans and the Irish
can do it, why couldn't the folks
in Ontario? We gamble with our
lives every time we cross a street
or highway, what with the kind
of screwball drivers that are loose
today. So what's wrong with gamb-
ling with a little loose change, es- .
pecially if doing so might make the
going easier for many worthy
causes?

A Chinese boy, learning English,
is credited with this thesis on the
banana: "The banana are great
fruit. He are constructed in the
sante architectural style as sausage,
difference being skin of sausage are
habitually consumed, while it is not
advisable to eat wrapping,s of
banana. The banana are held aloft
'while consuming, sausage are usual-
ly left in reclining position. Sausage
depend for creation on human being
or stuffing machine, while banana
are pristine product of honourable
