WOMEN'S FEET QROWINQt
Prof. Oieler of Munich, after ex-
tensive study in Europe and Amer-
ica, has come to the conclusion that
women’s feet are rapidly growing
larger. The time may; come, he
says, when in' the matterfeet
there will be little difference between
the two sexes. He has made careful
measurements of the proportions of
feet on ancient statues, and has com- mortal shares,
pared these measurements with the hoard* his
feet of modern women, always to the art, but, as*
advantage of the latter '
tributes the change to the growing
taste for walking, athletics and other
tfatdooY exercises. Frenchwomen’s
feet are increasing in site at a rapid
rate.
•BULLS" FROM THE BENCH.

Some excellent bulle are credited
» William Arblin, who was a Ism-
on police judge in the ’80s of the
last century. - He once remarked.to
counsel: “If you can shojr
at what moment the offe
committed tnd prove that thfe pris-
oner Was net there whence did it he
• could not possibly hare done 1C"
And he sagely added: “We cannot
divest ourselves of common sense in
a court of justice.” Of a similar
character was an axiom he once de-
livered himself of, which has been
maliciously fathered on many other
occupants of the bench: \> “If ever
there was a case of clearer evidence
than this case, this case is that case.”

Exhilarating,
“«^ack is reindeer tailing in Nor-

“MTiat is reindeer tailing?”
“I thought you wouldn’t knojv, so
I brought his letter with me. Listen,
and I’ll read you all about it.”" -
She opened the letter and began:
“ ‘Your eyes’—no, that isn’t the
place.
. ‘“We went reindeer tailing yes-
terday. You put on skis, and a rein-

GIRLS AT COLLEGE.
• • j^|. \ | y,, »•}*
Girls’ colleges report a boom in
attendance all around, and it is
lucky for the sake of American self-
respect that all of them do, for the
increase in pupils in Biyn Mawr
actually has led a woman who wor-
ships prominent persons, even those
prominent by proxy, to assert that
the continuance of Helen Taft as a
Bryn Mavr student “has aroused
ambitions in other girls.” Bryn
Mawr next year will raise the price
of tuition. Smith and Mount
Holyoke ^colleges last year doubled
thCir figures and found the applica-
tions greater. In the only Catholic
woman’s college in this country,
Trinity, pggr Washington city, three
enlargements of the main building
have been made in the last four
yean, and still there is the cry for
more room. Higher education for
women surely is on the upward way.
PRESERVATION OF *MILK.-----

_A German patent specification de-
scribes a pcodess for preserving milk
by removing all dissolved oxygen by
means of the addition of a small
quantity of ferrous carbonate.1 The
process Is based on the fact that
freshly precipitated ferrous carbon-
ate in the presence of oxygen imme-
diately sssimiljutes oxygeri and
evolves an equivalent quantity of
carbon dioxide. One part of ferrous
carbonate is sufficient1 for 50,000
parts of milk, and the .
