A-A result of the powerful wireless tele-
graphic waves that are now flowing un-
ceasingly around tne world.
Franck Duroquier, a French electrician
and wireless expert, has called attention to
some of these dangers. He shows that
the wireless or Hertzian waves produce
large sparks between pieces of metal
placed close together. These phenomena
may occur at many places within the in
fluence OF a wireless station The sparks

ously burned was midway between the

sharp and polished points, which almost
touch one another in the interior of the

T HE failure OF the Chicago po-

ing dniammable substances at the same
distance.
NJ. Duroquier, the French expert re-
ferred to, has gone deeply into the rea-
sons why the wireless waves cause fires
and explosions. Electricians, he says. know
that the sudden discharge Of an electric
spark is the source Of radiating energy
capable OF producing at q great distance
upon devices called "resonators" powerful
vibratory movements. which in turn will
produce other sparks. This phenomenon
was observed for the first time by the

When woman occupies the place Of
physical force she Is naturally apt
to be more violent and cruel than
man. History contains lnnumerable
instances OF this, from Jael in the
Bible, down to the female furies OF
the French Revolution and the Com
mune. Cleopatra and Catherine the
Great were examples OF It. Legend
tells US Of Tamyris, Queen Of the
Massagetes, who treacherously slew
her chiyalrous opponent, Cyrus, King
Of Persia, and kept his head In bag
by her pillow as memento OF her
triumph.
Women are more likely than men
to act hastily, to form snap judg-
ments, TO confuse means and ends,
and to resort to tears when logic
falls. Physically, 1t shows itself in a
greater tendency to spasmodic effort
and more rapid exhaustion. Expert
ments with the dynamometer show
that women tend to reach their
maximum power at the first effort,
while men more often only attain
their maximum power at the second
or third effort.
Now 1t is just these characteris-
tics that disqualify women from cop
Ing successfully with situations that
policemen are so often called upon
to face. The police officer need not
be man OF exceptional intelligence,
but qualities essential to his success
are those Of patience, poise and de
liberation. as we'll as promptness
and certainty Of action. And 1t l.

There Is still another reason why

MayOr Protests.

Seeking method of having streets
worked and cared for, knowing that
the city is not financially able, and
possibly in the course of the next few
days, may lack several thousand dol
lars of having for the year it's &C
customed revenue, Alderman w. B.
Sorrells, yesterday afternoon in the
City Council moved that Pine Bluff
ians be made to work the streets or
pay for the same.
He moved that If necessary, the
city be turned into road district
the same as in rural sections, that
male citizens, between the ages of is
and 45 years of age be required to
either pay a sum Of 81 or work four
days on the streets of Pine Bluff.
City Attorney W. B. Alexander
will be asked to draw up ali ordin.
ance embodying these features to be
presented at a forthcoming Council
meeting. The members of the coun-
Gil present voted in favor of the ordi-
nance being drawn and presented.
While this action was taken, Mayor
Simon Bloom expressed himself as
being unfavOrable to such move
and has given notice that he will
fight such step. He declared yes
terday that the working man and
pooper classes are being already tax
ed, and that this method OF securing
funds for street Improvement would
work only hardship, and granting
that it might be the means of secur-
ing revenue, it would come as a
sacrifice on the part of many.
The Council voted also that horse

unfit for fire service, be sold and
that new horse be purchased. 1t
was in somewhat jocular mood
mentioned by some that this was
all right, if some way could be found
to purchase an animal, and Alderman
Sorrels declared that mo matter at
what ebb finances were, another
horse, one fit for fire service, must
be secured. The animal to be dis
posed Of is good animal, but simply
unfit to make the strenuous runs

form.

MAKES Plea FOR
STOCK EXCHANGE
w. g. Van Antwerp, Head
Of Organization, Begs Sen
ate Not to Pass Owen Bill.
RULED BY MORALITY
Says If Newspapers with Reports Of
Exchange We're Barred from Mails,
Other Squelching Could Be Done.

Washington, Feb. 5.--W. G. Var
Antwerp, one of the governors of the
New York Stock Exchange, today
told the Senate banking committee
I that the bill of Senator Owen for
government regulation of stock ex-
changes would do more harm than
good, and that enforced incorporation
would destroy Americas primary
market place.

!. exchange over its members, based up
IN Just and equitable principles of
trade" he said, was stronger re-
Z atrfint than could be provided by any
law"
He pointed out that to incorporate

er of the governors into the courts,
u where judicial reviews would displace
the arbitrary powers of the governors.
Says Moral Code Rules.
Mr.. Van Antwerp declared the New
\ York exchange applied the laymen's
view Of what was just and equitable
and was governed more by moral
s than by legal considerations.
II the exchange were to adopt the
regulations of the Owen bill, he de-
clarad, thirteen billions of stocks and
thirteen billions of bonds would be

Mr.. Van Antwerp added, however,
that the listing Of securities, and that
organization, capitalization and flota-
ton Of securities was matter for
/ government regulation.
st Is duty that clearly belongs
to the government" he said, "and
the stock exchange will rejoice when
the government undertakes that re-
sponsibility."
Alleges It Would Paralyze.
The stock exchange rule against
manipulation, he said, was more
sweeping and was administered in a
far more effective manner than any
thing that could be done by the post
master general. Mr.. Van Antwerp
declared that the Owen bill would
only paralyze exchanges in the Unit
ed States and leave those in Canada |
and Europe free to carry on bust
ness.
He discussed at length the techni- |
cal provisions Of the bill relating to |
market practices and spoke of the
provision that would bar from the J

SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take a glass of Salts before breakfast
if your Back hurts or Bladder

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.

of grapes and lemon juice, combined with
