Industrious Teacher Works Out System
To Finance College for Bright Students
By FRED ZAVATTERO
United Press Correspondent
Vashon, Wash. (U.R) The
worry season is on for parents
of high school graduates. How to
finance college educations for
their youngsters this fall?
William S. Lane, an industri
ous high school teacher, has the
answer. He's sent 40 boys, none
of them his, to college. And it
hasn't cost him a nickel. He gets
them scholarships.
'"I use an educational 'double
play' system," explained Lane,
a science teacher at Vashon Is
land High school. "It's a com
bination of bright student and
fat scholarship."

Lane has set quite a record
for himself and his small school
since starting his program eight
years ago. He's obtained more
than $70,000 worth of free edu
cation for his pupils. The high
school, situated on an island in
Puget Sound, seldom has more
than 20 students in its entire
student body.
Tough Competition
"With almost 150,000 scholar
ships offered each year at col
leges and universities through
out the nation, there's no reason
boys can't get help," the teacher
declared.
Although many scholarships
are available, competition is
tough. Especially for those of
fered at such places as Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology
and Carnegie Tech. Even Naval
ROTC opportunities are limited.
Any student who thinks he
can qualify for a scholarship is
invited to consult with Lane
Often, Lane seeks out promising
students. He gives them a series
of mental and aptitude tests to
help them select the right
course and school. A student
may take his first college en
trance examination a year be
fore graduation.
Academic grinds are poor
scholarship risks, and Lane helps
boys correct any social or per
sonality problems.
"I've had to persuade a few
mothers to be less protective and
let their sons develop outside
activities," the teacher said.
"Some mothers protest for
awhile, but they finally see the
need for personal freedom."
Girls Poor Risks
Girls are also counted poor
scholarship risks. At least until
they get to the last year or so
of college. Too many marry be
fore completing the second
year.
Sometimes, in spite of all
Lane's efforts, a boy doesn't get
the school or scholarship he
wants.
"Then we look for jobs in the
same line of work the boy plans
to do after college," Lane said.
Usually a boy works a year,
saves his money; and then en
rolls. Quite often he'll get a
scholarship in his second or third
year."
Lane's work doesn t end when
the boys get to college. A num
ber of them return to the island
during summer vacation for help
in their studies. Through extra
work by student and teacher, a
boy can maintain a high record.
"I'm more at home with sci
ence and engineering students,"
Lane said, "but when one boy
wanted to join the ministry, we
got him a scholarship too."

Makers of Perfumes Turning Attention
To Sex Attractants As Never Before
By ROBERT MUSEL
United Press Correspondent
London (U.R) Like an al
chemist stirring a devilish brew,
Fred Wells decanted some his
potion and gave it to me to
smell. My sniff-sniff almost de
veloped into a full - throated
growl, and no wonder.
The perfumes this year are
toying with man's animal in
stincts. To verify this news
wafting across the channel from
Paris I cornered Fred in his
odorous labortory. He is the
only English member of the So
ciete Technique de Parfumers
de France.
"Yes," he said, "we're after
the animal instincts although
I doubt if that term is really
correct. Let's say we're using
'sex attractants" as never be
fore, in perfumes for women
and to a lesser degree in lotions
for men."
Perfume bottles look so pret
ty. The stuff smells so nice. It's
hard to realize the earthy, some
times shocking theories that lie
behind the industry.
An African witch doctor com
pounding a love potion might go
about it more directly, .but the
perfume industry does the same
thing behind the veil of long
scientific words.
"Humans," said Wells "are at
tracted by one another's scents
whether they think so or not.
The attraction of what we call
personal notes is known all
through the animal world. It's
possible to extract an odorous
substance from the. female but
terfly that will lead male butter
flies off their course.
"Musk deer, the civet cat, the
beaver all use powerful sex at
tractants to win their mates. We
steal them from the animals."
Wells explained that the per
fumer uses a "hidden nucleus"
of these sex attractants and cun
ningly conceals it behind the
more respectable odors of rose,
jasmine, gardenia or other flow
ers. Personal Perfumes
The nose inhales the flower
fragrance first, which is pleas
ant enough. Then the powerful
"psychological appeal" takes
hold. This could be castoreum
from the beaver, ambergris from
the whale, or a substance called
exaltolide because it has a lift
ing or exalting effect.
"Ideally," Wells said, 'every
woman should have a personal
perfume. If such a thing were
posible she should get an ol
factory analysis just as she can
get a cosmetics analysis now.
Then the perfumer could pre
pare a. formula for her using
scents which belong to her
alone."
Wells said men and women
used, to wear perfume mainly to
please themselves but now both

sexes are using it to try to im
press the other, the mile and

nd more alike.
With this he went back to
mixing sex attractants, most of
which, he confided, are still on
his "secret" list
