Rudely Awaken.

To this woman say also: Co
out on strike, madam. Don't do
another lick of work. Don't turn
another domestic wheel until you
force a fair settlement out of your
husband Just one day of the
confusion worse COMPOUNDED of
home in which nobody has wash
ed the baby or dressed the chill
dren or cleared the table or swept
the floors or provided any food
or done any of the other millions
of things that a housewife at

a husband that the laborer is
worthy of her hire, even II she is
his wife.

no reason for a woman to be a

enjoys martyrdom. You can
bring any man to terms by inter

Free Motherhood"
@
By REV. MABEL M. IRWIN.

the eve Of marriage, lies the COM
mon consent TO the enslaving OF
the wife in all things pertaining
to sex.
This makes way for enforced
motherhood, and the bringing Of
myriads Of unwelcome children to
curse the world with unnamed
woes. Truly has this been called
the greatest of all vices"
The onslavement OF woman in
her maternal function is to en-
slave not only the woman--the
mother OF the race-but the race
itself.
TIL the end Of time slave moth
ers will bear slave children. and
it is in marriage and not outside
Of it that the plea for free
motherhood" must be made and

She can not dress prettily and go

her sister who has her own pay

forward to marrying, because her
family cannily discharges men
callers, because they don't want
to lose their cook.
Besides which Cinderella in the

%HE grotesquely tragic thing
about martyrdom is that it
is almost always entirely
unnecessary. The martyr need not
be a martyr if he or she had an
inch of backbone, or a thimble-
full of good, hard horse sense
This is particularly true OF the
domestic martyr who is not a pin
feathered angel, as she is painted,
but just plain goose.
The thing that calls forth the
above heartfelt words is the case
of a young friend of mine. This
girl is the Oldest Of large fam
lily, and when her mother died
four years ago, she became the
little house mother to the family.
She was only IS then. She IS
but 20 now, at the very age
when a girl should be most care
free and happy, for these Few
years are the playtime in the
average woman's life, and the
only playtime she ever knows,
Instead of that, this girl has
cooked. and cleaned and washed,
and mended, and sewed for her
father and four husky brothers
and a little sister only a year
younger than herself. She is the
most Industrious little creature
in the world, and the best man
ager and a real genius in one OF
the finest of the arts-cooking.
The father, the four big broth
ers and the sister all go out to
work and earn good salaries, but
the girl who stays at home ana
slaves from morning till night to
make the balance of them COM
Portable and give them just the
sort of things they want to eat,
is paid not one cent for her labor

Imposition on Woman Is
Nowhere So Great as

And, above all, she should de-
mand an adequate salary for her
own services.
We talk a lot about family af-
lection, but as a matter of fact
there are no other people in the
world who impose on us so ruth
lessly as our own. 1t is only his
own wife, or daughter, that a man
expects to slave in a kitchen
eight or ten hours a day for her
board and whatever clothes he
chooses to give her. Strangers
have some regard for woman's
individual rights, but if she gets
them in the family circle, she's
got to stand up and fight for
them.
Heretofore women have re-
garded themselves as helpless.
They have felt that they had to
submit to any treatment that
their menkind accorded them.

liquefy more than million mil
lion tons of solid iron!
The result would be a very big
and a very deep hole in the earth.
Thousands of square miles would
be more or less directly affected
by the terrific impact, for the
shock would be greater than that
of the mightiest earthquake, and
perhaps would tumble into ruin
and mountains would shake off
their fringes OF rock in all parts
of the globe, while the sea would
hurl itself in whelming tidal
waves upon every coast and
drown all the low-lying islands.
A Great Heat.
The atmospheric disturbances
would also be enormous. The
sudden development OF great heat
at the point of collision would
unbalance the air currents, and
destructive and capricious winds
would blow to and fro over the
earth.
We have only a little space left
to consider the effects OF COLI
sion between the earth and the
tail Of a comet. This is something
that has actually occurred two or
three times within a century
The comet of 1861 enyeloped
the earth with the spreading end
of its tail for few hours. and
in 1910 Halley's comet brushed
its tail over the earth, but APP
parently the electric repulsion de-
veloped prevented the gases of
the tail from entering the atmos-
phere. II is possible that in every
case this would occur. so that
electricity may be our effective
guardian against deleterious sub
stances that might otherwise be
introduced into the atmosphere
from the switching tails of close
passing comets.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-03-20

A LARGE part Of the fear
~ that great comets have al
ways inspired is due to an
instructive dread OF their tremen-
dous powers for evil They look
like besoms Of destruction, and
those no know nothing about as
tronomy accept hem at their ap-
parent face value.
And. in truth, If they could
come within hitting distance OF
the cart. they would do an cnor-
nous amount OF damage, and
some Of them might he capable
of putting the earth temporarily
ont Of commission as an inhabited
globe.
The terror that wa aroused in
many .u,rters by Haleys comet
in 1910. has been recalled by the
appearance o, several new comets
within few months past, SO that
it is WORTH while to consider what
an evil, disposed comet could do
To- the earth II il got a chance.
What It Might Do.
There are two ways in which
comet could cause damage to the
earth .hrst by running straight
into IT with $4,000 times the We
locity Of an express train; ana
second. by injecting the atmos-
pnere with the poisonous or
sitting gases contained in its tail
Let ms consider the FIRST case
OF "a comet shock.
Two things have To be taken
into account viz. the Felocity and
the weight of the colliding comet
considered as a gigantic projectile,
shot against the earth as a tar
get
Comets are very deceptive in re-
gar6 to weight or mass They are
enormously large. but relatively
very light. The comet that APP
peared in 1861. FIRST grazed the sun

and thea swept the earth with
its tail Compared with it, our
own globe looked very insignia
cant But size is not every
thing, for small as the earth is
compared with that great comet,
1t outweicled it millions Of times.
Halley's comet also occupied
vastly more space than the earth,
but a careful estimate has shown
that it probably did not weigh
more than 100000 tons. which is
much less than the weight Of the
material eNcavated to make the
Panama Canal
II might be though, then. that
the earth is in no more danger
from such a comet than battle
ship is from a boys beaIshooter
But now the velocity begins to
come into play. The speed Of
comet at the earth's distance

from the sun would be about IS
miles per second.
A mass of 10000. 0 tons shoot
ing through space at a velocity
of 20 miles per second would de-
velop, in round numbers, about
twenty quintillion foot pounds Of
energy. equivalent to the develop
ment in one second of thirty six
thousand million million horse
power.
Where the comet struck every
thing-rock soil. vegetation
would be melted. vitrifed, and
even vaporized, in an instant, for
all this tremendous energy would
be turned into heat, through the
sudden and complete arrest of the
swift motion of the comet. The
SIX hundred quintillions of "ab-
solute units of energy" devel-
oped by the stopping Of the comet
