with the new century new vista be-
gan to open up. Undreamed-of posi-
blities dawned ahead and the pioneers
OF science had glmpses OF the unknown
that filled them with such aspirations
as only arise when a revolution is at
hand
The partial unvelling OF the mystery
OF the atoms showed that man was com
ing into close touch with forces capable
OF transforming life upon this planet.
Every leader OF science has recognized
this fact and has bent his energies TO
pushing forward the advance Let man
once get the key TO unlock the illimlt-
able forces inclosed In the atoms OF
matter which surround us on all sides
and he will achieve a command over
nature such as the widest dreams could
not have represented to his prophetic
soul.
"rhe energy locked up in single gram
OF matter Is equivalent TO that furnished

theory that confronts her, and that II
there is any adapting of the one to the
other to be done, she has to do 1t, and
If the home is to be happy she's got to
undertake the job.
Otherwise there will be discord ana
divorce.
Nobody will deny that 1t Is hard and
unfair on woman that the wife should
have to do the rtropitiatiug and the pleas
ing, and that she should always have to
walk warily TO keep off of her husbands
toes while he feels at perfect liberty to
trample all over her little feelings with
his number ten boots, and be as gruff
and impoltic as he pleases.
1t would cheer a woman up Just as
much after a long, hard, mopotonous
days work cooking and sewing auc baby
ending TO have her husband come home
with a bright and CHEEKY smile as II does
him to be met by a glad eyed wife.
Only a man never considers that 1t is
up to him to be Little Sunshine unless
he happens to feel that way. Somebody
has got to do the optimistic stunt in q
household, or else 1t is so dreary that IL
drives people to drink Therefore the
wife has to smile.
1t would be just as soothing to a
voman's temper to have her husband al
ways rub her fur the right way, and to
conceal the things that annoy her from
her gaze. as II is to a mans temper for
his wife TO sidetrack all of the subjects
that are like red flag to mad bull to
him. and to cover up all Of the family
happenings that are sure to rile him and
get on his nerves
Only husband doesn't take the trouble
to be tactful and diplomatic with his
wife, and unless in a house somebody
keeps the domestic machinery fabricated
you can hear It's creakng and groanlng
for blocks around The bare facts In the
case are that inasmuch as man won't
get along with his wife. she has to get
along with him. Hence women hold down
the perpetual Job of salve spreaders,
1t would be just as pleasant TO a woman
for her husband to put on his open
faced clothes of an evening, and devote
himself TO entertaining her and talking
about the fashions, and whether hoop
skirts are likely to come back again or
not, as it is to a man for his wife to
marcelle her hair, and put on her pret
tiest frock, and spend the evening trying
to converse with him on the stock mar
ket, or the green grocery trade. or
whether the politicians are really going
after the trust or are just trying to get
bought up.
Only a man isn't going to make the
exertion OF dressing up just for his wife,
or bore himself talking to her unless he
| happens TO feel like 1t, and somebody in
house has got 10 tear off some conYer-
sation to keep II from being like a deaf
and dumb asylum. In most homes the
husband sits up as silent as the grave.

flutter mill because she has TO talk

should smile any more than your hus-
! band does, But you will find that II you

her.
As a matter of equity It is as much a
mans place to meet his wife with JOY
Gus smile as It is hers 90 meet him. 1t
is Just as much his duty to make the
home peaceful and serene as it is hers.
1t is just as Disseminating to a woman Tor

It is to him for her TO appear IN

why, then. should women be sdjured
10 keep themselves young and fascinat-
ing and to always present a smiling ana
CHEEKY countenance to their husbands,
while no one says a word to a man about
making himself persona grata to his
wife?
Because 1t would be merely waste of
breath to offer men advice that they
wouldn't take. When q man marries he
thinks that performing that noble and
self-sacrificing act given him the right
to do as he pleases within his own bali
wick. He considers that his supporting
the home entities him TO Crouch in 1t as
much as he likes, and that his having
kept his wife from being an old maid
should fill her with such gratitude that
she should be willing to be on her knees
TO him no matter how he treats her.
The masculine attitude toward mar
riage is. as general thing. that OF a
high god who suffers himself to be wor-
shipped. There is nothing mutual about
It, It's the woman who must do the sa-
flaming and forehead knocking and the
general kowtowing. The most that a man
thinks can be expected Of him is for
him to be graciously pleased with the ad-
ulation offered to him.
OF course, this isn't what woman
anticipates when che gets married, No
indeed. Far otherwise, She expects 10
occupy the pedestal herself or, at the
worst. to stand on level with her hus-
band and for them to strive equally to-
gether TO make a happy home.

energy Is released, goes on with extrme

Now all matter is radioactive, or can
