Friends Hint Former Premier
Has Spoiled Picture by
Failure to Retire

+ German Emperor had onco humili-
ated France. No exit could have been
more dramatic. A quick stroke Of the

rapid stride from the Hall Of Mirrors.
'That ends this strange, sventful his

But Clemenceau a second time failed
his audience and hung about the stage.
He suggested that, aimee signing the
treaty was only beginning and not an
end, he would be glad to continue play
ing his part, and that he would accept
the Presidency of the republic which he
had done 80 much to save if the re-
public wished it. That was too much
even FOR the admirers of Clemenceau.
They joined his enemies and dragged
him out.
Tho fault Of the former Premier of
France Is that his ideas have almost
always run counter to the stags direct

still too greatly interested In the liv-

with the vindication of his stormy

on the Iapses Of public opinion and
the inequalities Of justice that the
German Kaiser, who did more than

Among the new noblemen created by

resisting the dictates Of the German
Governor of Belgium had not, fortu-

The offense Of the row Baron steens
was not only in opposing the German
orders against the French language in
the administration and the schools Of
brussels, but aiao in playing an an
genious trick on the invaders.
When the Occupying" authority or
aered him to hoist the flag of Germany
on the tower Of the Town Hall, on the
occasion of the anniversary Of the "All
Highest's" birthday, Louis Steens at
first refused outright.
"Very WELL" said the Kaisersa emIs-

then attach to them our own colors
and raise them ourselves on the ton Of

Bohemian Esiles Returning


1t is now 500 years since, owing Ia
Che prosecutions that followed their
defeat in the Battle Of the White
Mountain, numerous families belonging
TO the sect Of Bohemian or Moravian
brethren had to leave Bohemia and 70
into exile. Among these exiles was
the great Johann Amos Commenius. or
homensky (1692-1e71), one of the
founders Of the science of pedagogy.
To-day 7so families descended from
those exiles, and until now settled in
Prussia, Poland or Russia, are prepar-

now liberated from tho Hapsburgs.
They will settle near zabyeh, in Mora

CANNING
TRACED BACK
FOR 100 YEARS
Beginning Made simultaneously at
New York and Boston in iS25--
Process Due to Frenchman.


Louisville, Ky. Feb, IA his
tory of the canned food industry
dates back 100 years. according 10
a review at the recent convention
here of the National Gamers assd-
citation.
The process began to be worked
out simultaneously in New York
and Boston. Thomas Lamsett and
Ezra Daggett of New York, sue
ceeded in 1925 in canning or pack
ing in a crude way salmon, lob
sters and oysters. In Boston Will-
lam Underwood and Charles Mitcn-
ell, using heat, succeeded in pack
ing damsons, ounces, cranberrtes
and currents. Up until this time
the canning of food, one OF the
most important industries of pres
ent civilization, was unknown.
Credit for the discovery Of the
method of keeping perishable goods
by heat and sealing in afr-ught
containers, however, belongs 10 =
Frenchman. Nicholas Appert- Ap-
pert. taking advantage of an offer
by Napoleon of $4,000 francs for
the discovery of a method of pre-
serving food for his army, began
experiments that, after 10 years, re-
suited in the discovery that food
could be preserved by using heat
and putting the product in sealed
containers.
The theory OF the process. how.
ever, was unknown to Appert and
| it was not until the time of Louis
Pasteur, the famous bacteriologist.
discovered bacteria that the scien-
tiffc basis of canning was under
stood.
Prof. n. L. Russell of the Univsr'-
sity of Wisconsin, using PasteuES
discovery, found in 1895 that tbs
spoilage certain pea Gamers were.
experiencing was due to bacteria
| Higher temperature of sterilization
! was found to be necessary Prof
| Russell's work was continued By
| Prof. Prescott and Prof Under
wood of the Massachusetts institute
of technology.
Canning of oysters was begun IN
Baltimore in 1910 and the follow
ing year the sardine industry had
| its birth in Maine. The Pacific
coast, however, did not enter tho
| canning field until 1856.
! However, ii was not until the
Civil war that canning factory
was established.
Canned goods, which formed The
principal rations of the armies in
the World war, obviated the neces-
sity of soldiers at the front going
without food for several days at a
time, such as had been the case In
earlier wars, it was pointed out at
the convention
The war department, during The
year and a half the United States
was at war, purchased for the
American and allied expeditionary
forces 30,000,000 cases of canned
vegetables and 100000 cases OF
canned fruit, it was shown.
The annual output OF canned
foods, according to the census bu-
lreau. exceeds $500, 900 900 in value
II order to create interest in
canned goods the week of March 1-8
has been set aside as National
Canned Goods week.

Movie Actress to
Wear Skirt Three
Inches Above Knee

Viola Dana has gone daring French
society leaders one better. by wearing
a skirt exactly three inches above her
knee-to quote Jams j. Montague,
Niola's skirts are as brief as a wild
ow's grief"
Before you raise Your eyebrows in
horror, let it be explained that Viola s
penchant for brevity is born of her
becoming a child of thirteen for one
episode of her new picture. Irwin S.
Cobb's THE Five Dollar Baby" to-
day at the Isis Theatre. With the
little pigtails that were one of her out
standing characteristics, and a ging-
ham dress that was a part of her
childish wardrobe. Viola again is liv-
ing over the days of her Brooklyn
l1idhood.
An evidence Of the slight change
that the years have made in the little
stars physical makeup may be found
in the fact that the same Bingham
apron which she wore in her initial
stage appearance-in THE Poor Little
Rich Girl''-is being worn in this
Harry Beaumont production. Other
garments that are associated with
her girlish successes on the speaking
stage also are being used in the
picture.

Elaborate preparations are being
made for the annual dinner OF
Chamber of Commerce members to
be held at the San Carlos Hotel,
Tuesday evening. Jan. 9.
It has been usual to hold an, annual
meeting Of the membership on the
night Of the annual election Of the
Board of Directors.
These meetings have not had very
large attendance and the board of
directors believe that a dinner at
which the outgoing board of directors
and the newly elected directors would
be guests. when the report Of the
1929 board of directors could be pre-
scented to the members, would result
in a large attendance.
To make this event doubly attrac-
