In all his travels he had never
known a land quite like this narrow,
treeless, storm-blasted peninsula that
was the fence between the Pacific
Ocean and Boring Sea. Perhaps that
was why he hated it, and by a gro
tesque paradox that no mind such
as his could ever explain, loved it,
too. The hill behind him sheltered
him from the lash of the wind, yet
he felt that odd dryness in his head
that always marks zero weather, and
the icy touch Of the frost, as of a
hand. crept under his heavy shirt.
He wished he had his heavy sea-coat
that he had left in a cabin in the
village. Thence his thought turned
to the Remittance Man, wondering
how he was making out. 1t is not
wise, on the Peninsula, to soak one
self in distilled sour dough and then
lie in the cold. This was November:
he made a bet with himself that the
Remittance Man-granting that he
sustained the drinking pace he had
set and which, because it surpassed
all records in this hard-drinking

WASHINGTON ALL
EXCITED BY NOTE
Of LA FOLLETTE
Agree He Has Effectively Dr.
Vorced Communists From
ProgreSSiVeS.
Times Washington Bureau,
~ NJ. Xn.-I. a.

IOEG AtU VI n Att-
WASHINGTON, May 29.-Sena-
tor Robert NJ. La Toilette has given
reply to the insistent demand from
progressives in all parts of the coun-
try that he become a candidate for
the presidency.
He said in effect:
He would not accept a nomination
from a convention largely controlled
by communists and ne advised his
supporters not to participate in the
St. Paul gathering of June II.
He has not entirely abandoned
hope that at least one of the old
parties may purge itself Of present
reactionary control. making it pos
sible for progressives to support the
candidate nominated.
He is ready, if progressives are
disappointed by both old parties, to
become an Independent candidate.
He said nothing about forming a
new party.
Letter Stirs Capital
La Follette's announcement was
designed to do two things: First,
to make clear to his friends that it
was not his convention. Second, TO
make clear to the voters Of the
country that it was not even his
kind Of a convention.
In Washington, where La Fol
1ette's letter to the Wisconsin attor-
ney general furnished a political
sensation, it is generally agreed he
accomplished both results amazing
" well. He not only made his own
position clear but went a long way
toward preventing the communists
from tying themselves to the pro-
gressive movement.
As for his eventually becoming a
candidate there is no longer much
doubt.
doubt. With Coolidge's nomination
and the complete conservative con-
troll Of the June 10 convention as
sured, the Republican party is GER
tain not to meet the conditions
named by the Wisconsin Senator.
With the Democratic contest so un-
certain as it now is, the only out
come regarded likely is a compro-
mise acceptable to the conservatives
and therefore unacceptable to La
Toilette
Decision on July
La Follette's entry into the race
is expected to follow a meeting
called for July 4 at Cleveland under
the auspices Of the Conference for
Progressive Political Action. This
body, headed by William H. John
ston, president of the International
Association of Machinists, has been
steadily spreading over the coun-
try for the past three years.
La Toilette is known to be in ex-
cellent shape to make a race this
summer. His health is probably the
best it has been in years. His
friends say he will be able to put
his old time vigor into the cam
paign that appears to lie before him.

CHAPTER 1

mi HE idea came to Big Chris. as
he stood on the beach gazing
- out through the narrow,
darkened harbor mouth into the
night and the storm, that this world
Of his was an outcast world, land
that God had cursed and forsaken,
a pariah land outlawed from the
kindly, sun-kissed world where the
races moved and teemed. Because
it was his home, because it's grim,
strange spirit of desolation and death
had long ago got hold of him, it was
as If he were a pariah, too. God
cursed Cod-forsaken, scarcely less SO
than the Remittance Man, with
whom he had just become acquaint-
ed and who now lay in a drunken
stupor in one of the tumble-down
shacks in the native village behind
him.
Such ideas did not haunt him
often. He was huge and blond and
rugged-not a dreamer in any sense
except as all men of the northern
races, knowing life to its cruel
depths, are given to dreams-and
his last name was Larson. His job,
that of web foreman in connection
with the fishing that was the one in
dustry in these far, forsaken waters,
kept him too busy for such moods
as this. But the North was showing
its teeth tonight. Besides, he was
inwardly i'll at ease from purely ma
terial considerations-he had caught
the cannery launch Jupiter at Nush-
agak, with the idea of connecting up
with the mail boat at Squaw Harbor,
the Jupiter's home port, in race to
the outside but the swift-break-
ing storm had forced the launch into
miniature cove far up in one of the
most desolate and stormy stretches
of seacoast in the entire North, there
to remain for an uncertain time.
OF course it was only a squat in
the tradition of seafarers. Captain
Jim of the Jupiter-on the way
home from a scouting trip for new
trap site-had driven his stanch lit
tie ship through seas twice as high.
But Captain Jim did not care to take
chance when a mere passengers
haste was the only consideration.

him to get rid of it. A charge of breach of the peace against Jeremi- ah Griffin of 31 Hurlburt street " Yho war arrested with Pelegrino, was noled.
 The two men were arrested early yesterday morning by Patrolman Charles Mccarthy at a store at Will low and North streets after he had been called to stop a disturbance there.
 Pelegrino entered the store with several others and started in to make his presence known by starting an argument with the proprietor and bragging that he was marine and wasn't afraid of anyone. Griffin is alleged to have asked him to stop the noise as 1t was after midnight. An argument started and the police man was called in and asked to put Pelegrino out. They went out and mp the street, where they met Grif- fin when he left the store. The po- liceman was attracted to the corner little later by disturbance and when he went to investigate, Pele- grino had just removed the belt of his uniform and while the police- man was standing between the two men, he hit Griffin with the buckle, opening a wound on the back of his head. The two were placed under arrest.
 Pelegrino was asked for his dis charge from the marines by the court, and it showed that on Sept. he had been dishonorably dis charged for bad conduct He was warned not to appear on the street again in uniform.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
STEAM COOKING UNDER pREGSTTRE

MA. M. asks: May I inquire re- garding the effect on foods of cooking under steam pressure, such as is now being done in the home kitchen by such appliances as the National High Pres sure Cooker company is furnishing. Is the vitamin and nutritional value of foods deteriorated any in: (1) foods be preserved for future use?
 Answer-Cooking under pressure, as it is currently carried out with a va riety of devices that have found wide application in American homes, may bring about a number of physical and chemical changes that depend on the na- ture of the materials subjected to the superheated steam and also on the con- ditions under which the process is con- ducted. Consequently, the effects Of cooking under steam pressure cannot be described by a statement that shall have universal application. There is, for example, widespread but unwarranted popular belief that the vitamin power of foods is destroyed by heat. This is doubtless based on the well established fact that when certain foods, notably milk and some of the green vegetables, are heaten in open vessels or dried by ncdI HI tAO d1Eg Iucy AObC tuCIE duAA~ ity to prevent scurvy. Numerous in vestigations have indeed, demonstrated that vitamin C-the anti-scurvy factor in fOods-is readily destroyed under conditions in which oxidation is facili- tated by heat. The reaction is promoted in alkaline solutions and by substances like copper that aid oxidation. On the other hand, the deterioration of vitamin c is greatly delayed in medium of acid reaction and in the absence of oxygen. Since the knowledge of these differen- tiating facts has been acquired, 1t has become possible to heat acid products such as citrus fruit juices and tomatoes, and even to dr ythem under suitable conditions without serious loss of their anti-scurvy properties. There are canned tomatoes and dried milks, for example, now available under commercial condi- tions that retain much if not all of the vitamin c of the original unprocessed product. Vitamin A is heatlabile under conditions in which oxygenation is fla cilitated but when access of air is excluded Gas 1t is in an atmosphere of steam), little destruction of the vita min takes place. Butter fat has been subjected to long heating with steam without serious loss of vitamin A.. The antirickets (vitamin D) and an
