GOOD AND BAD ATHLETICS
Authority Gives List of Those Which
She Advises Girls to Give Up
or Avoid.

Miss Elizabeth Burchenal, inspector
of athletics for the board of education
of New York city, who recently made
a study of athletics for girls, with the
object of determining what kind of
athletics are really helpful to girls,
and what kind harmful, has inter
viewed forty women, all graduates of
physical training schools and all of
whom have had either practical expe-
rience in athletics or else opportunities
of. observation. AS a result of their
statements and of her own experience
she has listed as condemned athletics
for mature girls the broad jump, the
high jump in competition and pole
Naulting. and as doubtful for the mat
ture girl the high jump, running more
than 100 yards in competition md
weight throwing. For the immature
girl the condemned athletics are rum
ming more than 100 yards, pole vault
ing and weight throwing, and the
doubtful athletics are basket ball and
field hockey.
The safe athletics for mature girls
include, according to Miss BorchenaPs
investigation, archery, ball throwing,
basket ball (women's rules), climbing,
coasting, dancing, field hockey, golf,
horseback riding, cross and side sad
die, indoor baseball which is played
in the open air. low hurdles not in COM
petition; skating, skiing, snowshoeing,
swimming, tennis and walking.
AS especially beneficial for the ma
ture girl Miss Murchenal lists climb

competition; skating, swimming and

IN SOCIETY
HENDRIX NATIONS ENTER
TAIN.

From Saturdays Daily
One of the most delightfully."- infor-
NAL receptions of the season was the
one given last evening in the recep-
ton rooms of the college auditorium
by the wives of the members of Hen
dirk faculty to the members of the
faculties of Central College, State
Normal, public school, senior class in
Hendrix and the ministers of the city
and their wives. For the occasion the
rooms were artistically decorated in
the college colors-orange and black
cut flowers and palms. The society
halls were brilliantly decorated with
scores of remnants from each of the
Conway schools, with just shade
more of the orange and black predomi-
mating. President and Mrs. Millar
welcomed the guests at the head of the
stairs, and they were in turn escorted
through the rooms by different ladies
of Hendrix. Prof. and Mrs. w. O..
Wilson presided at a fiower-decked
table and dispensed punch from a
huge bowl. Mrs. G. H. Burr grace
fully served coffee from a silver urn
and waters and minis. Refreshments
in the color scheme were served from
an elegantly appointed banquet table.
The evening was one of continuous
pleasure. Possibly never before has
there been an entertainment given in
Conway where so many talented and
thoroughly congenial guests have been
assembled. The scene was one long to
be remembered. Beautiful decorations,
brilliant lights and gorgeous costumes
made it like vision of fairy land,
and the ladies of Hendrix are to be
congratulated on the success of the
entertainment. The ladies who receiv-
ed were: Mesdames A. C. Millar, M.
j. Russell, G. H. Burr, NJ. J. McHenry,

NEED OF A NEW HORIZON
Excessive Application to Any One
Line Of Endeavor Is a Grave
Mistake to Make.

Many excellent women, when the
flush of youth has passed, instead OF
maturing into enduring, increasing
usefulness and serenity, become like
unto a house left desolate. Whether
work be drudgery or delight. too ex-
elusive application to it naturally
tends to narrow the horizon. The
merchant finds himself surrounded by
dry goods talk, and dry goods people
until the walls of his store are the
boundaries of his world. The scient-
list who puts his soul and heart and
brain into the pursuit of the beetle
finds in time that every point of the
compass ends in a beetle. The society
woman who finds all her interest in
one class and in one set of events and
modes of living sees and feels little
of the vast and palpitating current OF
human life above and below and
around her. The nerves and brain
and muscles grow weary of monotony
However intensely we apply ourselves,
we should keep our eyes on the dis
tant hills and the crimson sunset.
There should always be kept open
path that runs away to the west or
east or north or south, to an entirely
new horizon; to some other work
one loves; to some other study that
appeals; to a new game with a new
set of rules.-Collier's

Causes of Tempests.

Science attributes tempests to a
general internal movement OF de-
tached masses of aerial pro]ectiles'
which traverse the general mass OF
the atmosphere like the discharge
from a mitrailleuse. Even in time
of calm the movements of the air
may be complex. During periods OF
excessive heat puffs of air hot as
from a furnace strike the exposed
portions Of the human body. The air
mass at a normal temperature holds
heat as the organism holds the cell
Such phenomena as the projectiles OF
heat are frequently produced several
times within the period Of few min
utes. The elastic condition Of the air
is not at all like the surrounding at
mospherical strata. The heated air
is sent out in projectilelike pulsations'
The pulsations are produced not IN
high regions alone.

Wildcat Attacks Young Preacher.


Attacked by a wildcat E. Lamont
Geissinger, young preacher and stu
dent at Dickinson college, was driven
down a steep side of North mountain,
and as a result of his experience was
nearly Frustrated when he reached
Doubling Gap.
Geissinger saw watching him
through the bushes a pantherlike AMI
NAL about FIVE feet long. He started
to run, but the beast leaped after him,
made repeated attacks upon him, and
although Geissinger dealt 1t several
blows on the head with club he
could not beat the animal on.
The young preacher made as fast
time as he could for more than mile
down the mountainside, with the wild
cat following. 1t was not until he was
inside the hotel that the animal aban-
doned it's pursuit and sneaked back In

is arousing keen interest in the neigh

woman from Gunnersbury, London.
She believes that If she succeeds In
her quest, she will become entitled to

prompted originally by statements
made by a medium at spiritual1stic

POULTRY SHOW
AT LITTLE ROCK
CONWAY WELL EXHIBITED

CONWAY WILL COME IN FOR
A GENEROUS SHOWING.

Little Rock, Nov. 29.-Increased in
terest in the exhibit at the poultry
show in the Auditorium was shown
yesterday, when more than two thou
sand persons visited the hall. The in
crease in attendance is due to the fact
that all the premiums have been
awarded and posted Much larger
crowds are expected during the re-
naming days of the show, which is
the largest ever held in this section of
the country.
Some idea of the enormity of the
exhibit may be gained from the fact
the Missouri state poultry show now
at st. Louis contains only about 1000
birds, while there are $500 birds in
the Arkansas exhibit.
In the throng at the show yester-
day were many persons from points
throughout the state, the interest APP
parently being stronger outside of
Little Rock. Many visitors from 9th
Ell states have visited the exhibit with
a view to learning from the class of
birds shown whether or not the state
is suited for poultry raising

Bees Stick to One Flower.

1t Is usually supposed. especially by
the poets, that bees sip sweets indis-
criminately from many a flower. All
bees. including the honey bee, show a
strong tendency in collecting both
nectar and pollen to be constant to
one species of flower. This is mani
testify for the advantage of both in
sects and flowers. In the case OF a
number of bees flying for only small
part of the season this habit has be-
come so specialized that they visit
only one or a few allied species of
flowers, which offer an abundance of
pollen and nectar.
