She is attend ing the conference of Nebraska Or ganization Secretaries being held at the Omaha chamber of commerce. Mrs. Kroner admits she would rather be up to her'elbows in intri cate business matter than have those same dimpled elbows spotted with cake dough ors covered with flour for a new batch of bread. "The women at home often ask mc if I don't feel out of place among so many business men and if I don't feel just a trifle unnecessary when 1 attend conventions and confer ences where I am the only woman. They often ask if business problems do not perplex me and if I wouldn't rather stay at home and do house work. , "I tell them that I like to be in the business world and mingle with hard-headed business men. There is always something to be ac complished for the good -of. the Chamber of Commerce and the busi ness world of Kearney. A woman can do this just as efficiently as a man. 1 don't' care for house work as a rule. 1 nave always been m business and solved business prob lems. But whenever I feel the feminine urge. to bake a cake or a batch of bread, coming upon me, I. go to my home and give vent to that urge. My husband declares my cake and bread are every bit as good as those his mother made." In the secretaries conference ves- terday J.

Marine Desterter Gives Up ; Kearney Police Puzzled Kearncv, Xcb.. April 7. (Special.) J. M. iliteshaw, 2. Peru, Ind., walked into the police station here and surrendered as a deserter from the marine corps. The department is at a loss as to what to do with the young man. Even though a re ward is posted for his apprehension, as in the case of all deserters, the government apparently is not anx ious to pet the men back. At least such has been the experience of the Kearney police department in five cases within the past month. In each instance deserters held for several days were released, army officers waiving all claims to them. "It costs less to enlist new men than to bring back deserters," is the way one offi cer summed up the case when he ordered two army deserters released.
