A Coming Conflict
by FRANCES l.. GARSIDE.

Great grandmother and great grand
father always agreed, but It was the
agreement OF the master and the slave,
for in those days men and their wives
were stlll bound by the tradition OF own
ership handed down by the Cave Man.
Grandmother and grandfather did not
always agree, but disputes always ended
| in grandfather having his way, and in
grandmother concealing her wrongs from
all but the Lord.
Mother and father do not always agree,
and in the majority of these little en-
counters mother comes out victor. And
she doesn't tell her victories to the Lord
as her mother before her told her de-
feats. She tells them to other women
and they are encouraged.
The change has been so slow that every
one but man himself can see that woman
is no longer In the ume-honored attitude
Of doormat. and the reason he can't
see Is that his eyes are blinded by the
centuries Of accumulation OF smoke from
the incense he has been burning at his
own shrine.
II he viii blow away that smoke and
bring his feet down from the high eleva-
ton they assume as a balance for his
brains when he thinks he is thinking, he
will behold that woman is not only stand
ing on her feet. but that she is armed
for battle, and that I'm the coming year
she win fight the greatest fight in her
history. Encouraged by the successes OF
1911 of which most men in their blind
self-assurance have taken little note, she
begins the new year with the determina-
ton TO make II the banner year of her
long struggle.
Man, sitting back in his chair and
lnhaling his self-lnspired incense with
great satisfaction, is further blinded
by his own wit and doesn't realize that
Woman's Rights have become any-
thing more dignifed than a means for
decorating with "a ribbon-tied or cro-
chet-bordered joke.
lie fairly scintlllates with humor as
he hands out Ten Commandments TO
govern her conduct and doesn't realize
that instead Of accepting them meekly,
she hands him back Twenty.
II took time to wake up the women,
and II is taking a greater time to wake
up the men, but TO the everlasting credit
OF the women It can be said that their
long sleep was due to the humility Of
repression and not due to cOnceit.
Mark the prediction: The year thas
is coming will witness a great conflict,
and when the smoke has cleared away
il will disclose a nation OF very mucA
bewildered and surprised men. They
will also be very much Inundated, ana
the humiliation will be good for their
souls.

The Eye, the Ear, the Soul

he finds that there exists 'loophole
for the view that mind Is not directly
associated with physical life, as living
matter, but only indirectly with certain
dispositions OF dynamic state which are
sometimes present within certain parts
Of It,"
Translated into ordinary speech this
means that. in It's normal condition, the
brain is an instrument OF the mind, or
soul but that the activity OF the latter
Is not confined to the phenomena which
II produces when acting through the
mind, any more than sound which makes
no noise until II strikes the ear drum
is confined to the ear which It happens
to strike
Physical science when II confronts IA
difficulty like this usually takes up the
agnostic attitude, on the ground that
there is no demonstrable evidence one
way or the other. II is like the question
of the habitabllity of other words. Most
astronomers say: I'VE know nothing
about It: we cannot base conclusions on
mere analoges, and when even analogles
are absent there is no evidence OF any
kind We know that there Is life on the
earth, and that is all we know"
But the inquiring spirit OF man insists
upon light OF some kind, and II II can

Matter Going from High to Low
BY EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

Since the radio activity of uranium was
discovered, during the closing scenes OF
the nineteenth century, the mental hori-
zon of man has expanded to wider limits
than was thought to be possible save to
a few advanced mentalists who were then
scanning events and mans mind power
with critical accuracy
Radioactive elements are surely going
lower; fine matter is becoming coarse,
high is becoming low, and part of the
high is vanishing from the scrutiny Of
man aided by the highest instrumental
powers of research.
Fine uranium is degrading itself down
to low lead. Uranium is a word in Eng
lish derived from Greek ouranos, the eX-
rsnse of heaven. 1t is now the name of
a metal reduced from the mineral known
as pitchblende, where it is i'm the form
of an oxide and associated with iron, sui
phur, lead, zinc, arsenic and cobalt.
Little did the physicist Klaproth think,
in 1889, when he isolated uranium. that at
the end Of 100 years the civilized races OF
the earth would be wondering over its
my st.ry. And he could not LOOK forward
to the day a century hence, when Inany
of the most intellectual men and one
woman, Madam Curie, would be deprivlng
themselves of sufficient sleep IN feverish
research and exploration in the metal
uranium, the still unexplained mystery.
For It is not yet known why atoms OF
radioactive matter explode and hurl par
ticles in all directions, with varying but
high, terrific speed. Nor why radium
shoots out electrons at an immense velo-
city, speed approaching that of Nature 5
great standard speed, 1856, 3S3 miles per sec
ond. Nor why nor how this Titanic force
ever became tanned down into the atoms
of radium.
If radlum all explodes at once, instead
of requiring many years to explode in
excessively minute atomic quantities, then
everybody near radium would be slain
and buildings wrecked.
The startling fact is uranium sends out
waves of energy Of itself. No test, how
ever rigid, is able to detect energy enter.
ing, but its issuing forth is very apparent
Becquerel, in 1896, found that photo
plates held near uranium were affected
and that your skeleton would show
Then Madam Curie discovered that the
heavy metal thorium was in a state o
radio-actvity. Madam Curie, after ex.
tracting all the uranium from pitchbende
noticed that the residue was radiatinl
with more intensity than the uranium.
Then she began one of the most re-
markable series of researches in the his
tory. of man or woman. She discovered

still radiating. Work-the dictionary

The capital discovery OF the ages was
made. She announced radium to every
scientist living. 1t is a million times
more active than uranium. Then every
laboratory In the world became the scene
of intense work. A ton of pitchblende
contains enough radlum to make a small
pins head Researches soon found that
uranium, thorium, polonium, actinium,
radium and all radiating elements emit
many different kinds of waves, long,
short and of wide differences in power of
penetrating other bodies. Alpha, Beta,
Gamma and Delta particles and more are
now separated out from the confused
tangle. But the Alpha particles are

electrons becomes low and apparently

These particles fall on adjacent bodies
and these are thus endowed with short

and thus matter is going away from

And yet, for untold ages, the criminally
inclined youth Of the world was unpro-

sometimes brutally, but no one thought to

ENTHI SIASM FOR
 STRAWBERRY co.

The announcement of the proposed organization of stock company to plant a large area in strawberries this spring has met with so much en- thusiasm that no difficulty will be ex- perienced m forming a large corpora tion for this purpose, according to w. D. Cole, Jr., who is leading in the promotion of the enterprise. MT. Cole said today he had obtained an option on 50 acres of excellent land, within the city limits, for five years at $5 per acre annual rental. The plan is to capitalize the company at $2,500, di- v;ded into 100 shares of $25 each, which it is believed will be ample to cover the cost of planting 50 acres, employing all necessary labor and pay all running expenses for the first year. With a reasonably fair crop next spring, a dividend of 100 per cent would not be at all surprising.
 A meeting will be held Monday af- ternoon at o'clock in the office of Secretary G. L. Banner of the Board of Trade, at which time tt is expected the organization will be effected

In the destruction of his residence by fire yesterday afternoon, Prof. w. N. Jones sustained severe loss, as he carried only $500 insurance on the building and contents, all of which were total loss. The fire is suppos- ed to have originated in the kitchen, but gained so much headway before it was discovered that Mrs. Jones and her infant, who were alone at the time, barely had time to escape. Mr. Jones loss is fully 1,500 and a num- Der of his friends are making up a purse today to assist him in furnish ing another home.

Apple of Little Rock and County Agent J. w. Earlier of Conway county, were present to assist Superintendent W. E. Halbrook in starting off the work. It was decided to divide a l0-acre plat which had been given the school and plant two acres in cotton, two acres in corn, three acres in peas and two acres for pasturage. The plot will be cultivat- ed by the classes in agriculture in the school and will be visited regularly by the government demonstrators of Faulkner and Conway counties. The experiment will be watched with much interest, as it is the first effort of the kind by a public school in the county.
