watching her move about the studio,
would speak volumes and bridge over
hours Of commonplace. Then again
there would be days when they would
talk Of their love as of any accepted
fact of common interest.
Perhaps nowhere but in the art
world could such friendship have ex-
listed without danger of mIsunder-
standing. At the boarding house they
acquaintances. But among the artists
they came and went with Platonic
freedom. No one criticised. No one
watched with malicious eyes. Here,
as wherever artists meet, life was too
busy for petty spying. Or is 1t. after
all, not Indifference or preoccupation,
but the inherent purity of an appar-
emily careless life, that makes artists
slow to think evil of each other? In
any case, these two were safe among
them from fear of misunderstanding
and Derring was in the studio when
ever his work, or leisure, gave him op-
portunity.

finished writing and sat leaning back.

had been half an hour since he fin
ished work and no word had broken
the silence till he spoke.
II never dared believe I should find
you, though" he continued.
She was turning her head to one
side and leaning back, with half-closed
eyes. to get a view of the last wash.
"Yes. you were good while finding
1t out" She gave critical touches
here and there with the extended
brush.
He started suddenly forward to an
upright position. What do you
mean? Did you know-or care?"
THAT is another strange thing"
she said. smiling little to him. the
woman always knows first. But she
must wait patiently until the mans
numbering intelligence finds 1t out"
But l never dreamed" he persisted.

"Of course. 1t wouldn't have been
modest not to. And. besides. I did
not want you to find out. didn't
suppose any man could be generous
enough to understand how a woman
might feel"

Any one can see how unfair marriage
is to n woman-that 1t compels her to
give up everything and offers her
nothing. We see 1t plainly enough
But what can We do? We love you,
and most OF us see no way out OF it
but marriage"
Now 1t is you who are hard" she
returned. The fault cannot all lie
on one side. Marriage. in itself, is no
harder for n woman to-day. I suppose,
than 1t has always been. The differ
ence is that SO many other ways Of
happiness are open to her; and when
she finds her marriage a failure, she
does not try to make the best OF 1t,
without protest. as the only thing
open to her. She is more restive un-
der her own mistake than when fate
left her no choice. So everything
gets into a nice tangle and they don't
live happy forever afterwards" she

NAPOLEON PURE
FOOD CRUSADER
Little COrSiCan" Really Re-
SpOnSibIe for Discovery
Of Canning Without
Chemicals

Napoleon Bonaparte instigatcd the
first pure food crusade" In so do
ing he brought about a revolution In
natural canning processes. In improved
form they are in use i'm the United
States to-day Records Of the
French Academy of Science. Just lately
unearthed in Paris. have laid bare the
whole pure food history
There was strong objection TO the
manner i'm which the Little Corsi-
cans soldiers were compelled TO carry
food and eat it while on the march. So
strenuously did the French nation
voice its disgust at the methods then
IN vogue that Napoleon directed that
the academy offer a prize of 1900
francs 70 the man who could keep
foods indefinitely i'm their natural con-
dition. without added personalities
such as were then believed 10 be IN
use and which included salt, sugar
vinegar and smoke.
Nicholas Appcrt won tho 1900
francs. lie discovered what has
since been perfected into the present
day method Of canning. for he simply
enclosed the food in alright contain
ers and subjected the whole to such a
ceived thorough sterilization. The vcs-
sells which Appert used were clumsy.
He was handicapped i'm his efforts by
poor utensils. However, he originate
cd tho fundamental principle which Is
used i'm American cannerics to-day.
Now. however, in place Of Appert's
crude vessels, fruits. vegetables ana
the like arc placed in bright. new
clean cans. which arc made alright.
The second division Of the process is
the subjcction of cans 20 intense
heat.
Boiling water at a temperature Of
2l2 degrees Fahrenheit is the natural
sterilizer in which thousands upon
thousands of cans are allawcd TO stand
for a given length Of time. If cook
ed by steam or in a retort at from
240 to 2C0 degrees or more. the pro-
duct is not given as long "a period Of
sterilization. Science, since Appert's s
day. has determined the length Of time
necessary. The operation is simple,
yet the process is .all-important. ABB
solutely nothing more than heat is
necessary to keep the delicacies in. a
pure state for years. The sterilization
process in tho case OF canned tomatoes
requires only fifteen minutes at the
highest temperature to 40 minutes at
the lowest. AS a result there Is no
necessity to-day for the 18th century
use Of the chemicals or drugs which
held sway before Napoleon presented
Appert with the 1900 francs for his
discovery.
An authority on food points out that
even though a preservative be added
the cans would be compelled to go
through the same process, so there is
no incentive for foreign substances.

Cracks at Pittsburg Congress.
zARP THE REAL PIN GETTER
But Two Weeks More of Bowling and
Most of the Regular Games VIII
BE Played and Flags
Awarded.

The Chabot Shoe company team, bowling
in Omaha Friday night, outbowled the fast
bowlers who are representing Omaha at
the American Bowling ongress at Pitts
burg. OF these c, Primeau made high
score, with 614, the total of the team being
2s2O. The remarkably high scores, the
breaking of records and regular fast work
has somewhat eclipsed the Omaha bowlers
at Pittsburg.
To the Little Old Man 1t looks very
much like the ~Brodegaard Crowns nave
copied the penant rag in the Commercial
race. Their only rivals. at ali dangerous,
the Birmingham Range company, will have
to win nine out of the next twelve games

leaders any luck at all In the two series

it seems a foregone conclusion.
Charles carp still continues to be the
real pin getter among the bowlers, holding

games yet to be played, will wind up the

re Family About Ready for the Seasons Toll. @
Iowa Athletics
Up in the Air
Over Coach
Alumni Practically Unanimous for
Griffith, but the Board Delays
Taking Action.

IOWA CITY, Ia. March 13.-(Special)-
Iowa's chaotic athletic situation promises
TO be settled within the coming week. At
its meeting this week the Iowa Board OF
Control OF Athletics appointed a subcom-
mittee to settle the foot ball coach stu
alton for next fall. This committee will re-
port next week and It Is believed the first
step In settling the difficulties encountered
this winter will be taken.
Many applications have been made for
the Iowa position, but the board with its
confirmed hostility toward the press has
refused to give out any information con-
corning the applicants or probable time of
choosing any one OF the men applying. In
many respects the present situation is like
tho Iowa-Ames breach, which remained
open until public sentiment forced the local
board to action.
At the present time it is believed by the
students and most certainly by the alumni
that John 6. Griffith is the logical choice
for the position. In many quarters the rea-
sons for the delay in picking the coach are
not apparent when the sentiment especially
from the alumni favors the captain OF the
1900 team. One m.s:nber OF the board states
that until the financial backing to be
given by the regents was known the board
phi iAbL AlluN0s lditI dnOIlCG member OF
the board when pressed for an explanation
stated that the financial considerations
failed to enter into the question, but that
the board was taking its time for fear of
hasty action
That the alumni are highly dissatisfied
with the present condition OF affairs was
shown at the time of the Dental Alumni
clinic here this week when 200 graduates
were in the city. Inquiries concerning the
condition Of the schedule showed the lack
of games. What is the natter" was
heard from the various alumni in every dis
oussion of athletic matters. 80 far as |
can find out, there is only one game sched-
uled and that is the Ames game" said one
alumnus.
On the boards side Of the argument II
maybe stated that many difficulties have
appeared from outside sources which have
tied the hands of the members; that the
question of finances has hampered the
making of the schedule. but the student
sentiment favors the announcement and
explanation Of a few of the handicaps so
that the board may not be u~niustly crit
iclzed.
wrestling has established itself as a snort
In the University of Iowa's athletics the
last week. More interest has been taken
IN the wrestling tournament than any ath-
letic events for weeks. During the prelimi-
naries in the lightweight, heavyweight
ana middle-weight matches this week the
gymnasium was we'll crowded with spec
tators.
The finals brought forth a good exhibit
ton OF wrestling After two months OF
class work many holds had been learned
by the various athletes and the showing
made in the final matches was unusually
