Pure Food Law passed is

"You can't be great and be
vain," she said. "There was
no vanity about Abraham
Lincoln. A leader is one who
doesn't think of himself.
"So many women think
more about appearance than
anything else."
"Anxious as I am to see j
women active in politics," she
said, 4'I don't think it is con

not for another 50 years.

Too Vain
Presidency
I tered life than men. It takes
sxruggie 10 leacn leaaersnip,
and women don't have as
many struggles as men. Men
still go out and face the world
every day."
She smiled as she added
that, were a woman to run
for the nation's highest office,
few women would vote for
her.
"As a rule, women don't
support other women," she
said. "They're jealous. Would
men vote fos a woman? Yes,
they might out of gallantry."
Mrs. Wiley, who lives in
Washington, came to New
York as member of a dele
gation from the General Fed
eration of Women's Clubs,
which presented a citation to
Good Housekeeping magazine
on its 75th anniversary. Her
husband for 18 years had
headed the magazine's Bureau
of Food, -' Sanitation and
Health.
I asked Mrs. Wiley whether
she - thought women in 40
years of voting proved they
deserved suffrage.
"Oh, undoubtedly," she
said. "Our only hope for the
future is for the sexes to share
in government."
Mrs. Wiley, born in Oak
land, Calif, in 1877, was the
daughter of Brig. Gen. John
C. Kelton, onetime Adjutant
General of the U.S. Army.
When he died in 1893, the
family moved to Washington.
A graduate of Columbian
College of George Washing
ton University, she joined the
suffrage movement after
hearing a talk by a suffragette
from London.
Landed In Jail
In. 1917, she went to prison
along with 218 other women
for picketing the White House
in an effort to arouse Presi
dent Wilson's support of suff
rage. She was arrested for
"obstructing traffic on Penn
sylvania Avenue."
"It makes me angry when
someone calls me a jailbird,"
she said. "At least I didn't do
what some of the women did.
They quietly paid their fines
to avoid the publicity."
Mrs., Wiley didn't stop work
ing for causes once the 19th
amendment was ratified. Af
ter her husband's death in
1933, she served as president
of the American Pure . Food
League, which fought for and
eventually won revision of
the original food law to in
clude drugs and cosmetics.
The 82-year-old grandmoth
er of five is active in 15 or
ganizations including the Na
tional Woman's Party which
since 1923 has campaigned for
an equal rights amendment
to the Constitution. Several
women's organizations sup
port the movement which
would provide equal pay for
equal work and equal job op
portunities for the sexes.
Mrs. Wiley sounded a little
regretful when she observed
that "there aren't so many
causes any more, are there?
Now, the greatest is the cause
for peace."

of Canning
150th anniversary of this in
vention by pastry cook Nico
las Appert, who developed it
to help feed Napoleon's trav
eling army. His award was
12,000 francs, about $2,160 at
today's exchange rates.
Others have modernized
Appert's method and created
hundreds of new products,
but his basic principle-boiling
sealed containers of food
-remains unchanged, says the
National Canners association,
a self-policing body for the
American canning industry.
Appert's experiments in
cluded most of today's canned
foods: meat, fowl and game,
soup, milk, butter, cream,
eggs, fish and seafood, fruit
and vegetables.
His containers were corked
wide-mouthed jars. Tin canis
ters were invented later by a
Briton, inspired by Appert's
published work, the associa
tion said. The first American
canneries were established
around 1820, in Boston and
New York.
First Years Hardest
The first hundred years
were the hardest. At the turn
of the century, only 50
canned ' foods were included
in the association's first
count. Eut by 1959, the total
had passed 1,200 and showed
no signs of stopping. Much of
the recent increase consists of
vegetable, .j u i c e and fruit
mixtures, and fancy prepared
foods, including many main
dishes.
As Napoleon could have
forecast, our biggest canning
boosts came in wartime. Pro
duction during the Civil War
increased 600 per cent, said
the association. In World War
II, consumption jumped from
16,864,000,000 cans in 1941 to
21 billion cans in 1946.
Best sellers have changed
little since the first of
ficial survey in 1909. Toma
toes, milk and corn were the
favorite individual canned
foods then; milk, peaches and
corn lead now. Among com
modities, tomatoes (including
sauce, paste and juice), milk
and soup are the top three.
Not Always Cheap
Canned foods are no longer
synonymous with low-budget
meals. A 6-ounce can of evap
orated milk still sells for less
than 8 cents, but a 14-pound
ham costs around $14. On a
cost per pound basis, special
ties like rattlesnake meat and
truffles are even higher.
Along with fancier foods,
we have fancier containers:
aerosol spray cans, individual
and family size cans, rec
tangular (for corned beef and
luncheon meats), triangular
(for hams and imported
pates), and conventional cyl
indrical cans.
The association anticipates
no startling changes in cans
or contents in the future, but
says that technological ad
vances will increase nutrition
al values without using syn
thetic vitamins.
Aluminum may augment
present .tin and glass supplies,
but it won't alter two famil
iar shapes. Hard-to-open milk
and sardine cans will remain,
the association said; the milk
can because it assures maxi
mum product safety, and the
sardine cantainer because it's
best suited to the shape and
fragility of the. fish.

Male Writer Makes Fun
Of Men's Ivy League Look
(Rheems Russell, a contributor to several national mag
azines, wrote for United Press International a few years ago
a story poking fun at the chemise look in women's fashions.
In the following, he comments on the current styles in men's
clothing.)
By RHEEMS RUSSELL
Written for United Press International
It has been said that all history is reflected in women's
fashions, but what about the male animal?
Perish the thought that the current "Ivy League Look,"
hereinafter referred to as "ILL," reflects the true state of
the nation.
Thumbing through the daily
newspapers and smart maga
zines, a pencil-slim silhouette
of what purports to be today's
Beau Brummel fairly trips
across the men's clothing ad
vertisements.
The narrow downward
sloping shoulders are after
the fashion of Webster's fa
mous cartoon character, Cas
par Milquetoast, and indicate
he is suffering from leuke
mia. Ah, but the trousers and
shoes provide the ne plus ul
tra of the "ILL." Trousers
so tight they could be mis
taken for leotards and the
wearer a ballet dancer about
to go into a nip-up or entre
chat. Shoes, furbelowed with
bows or other effeminate
adornments, resemble boudoir
slippers and are reminiscent
of those worn by little Lord
Fauntleroy and Gainbor
ough's Blue Boy.
If Ingemar Johansson,
world's champion heavy
weight, ever got into one of
these outfits and flexed his
muscles, it would burst most
of the seams, especially the
right sleeve.
Maybe this "ILL" solves
the mystery of why Pennsyl
vania University, after win
ning the Ivy League football
championship last fall, sum
marily fired its coach, Steve
Sebo - his shoulders were
too broad!
Hat brims are narrower,
too - except in Texas. Ties
are narrower, collars shorter,
lapels positively skimpy. Only
prices are higher. Perhaps a

Women's fashions only now
are recovering from a phase
they passed through when it
was tres chic to be or appear
to be flat chested.
Then came along this mas-
culine fashion trend. We use
I the word "masculine" with
some trepidation. But this fig
ures because men are always
after women.
We predict that just as the
chemise look gave way to the
empirical bosomy look, the
"ILL" will surrender to a less
effete, more manly format.

New Porous Plastic
Made for Rain Wear
Glenside, Pa. - (LTD - A
new plastic has been devel
oped for waterproof clothing
that "breathes."
Because it can be laminated
to cotton and other fabrics,
the plastic will be used in
raincoats, snowsuits and fa
miliar clothing. Present rain
coats often trap perspiration
and body heat, but the new
plastic will allow heat to es
cape, said Dr. Howard
Strauss, vice president of E.
B. S. Reeves, Inc.. which de
veloped the material.
The plastic is porous, per
forated with millions of holes
so tiny they can't be seen by
the naked eye, Strauss ex
plained. They are so small
that water will not pass
through them, but steam, or
water vapor, will.
