WHAT is HOME,

An English paper offered prize
for the best definition of home. 1t is
interesting to consider some of the
answers. What does your home stand
for, and what does it mean to you?
Home is the golden setting in
which the brightest jewel is mother
The world OF. strife shut out; a
world of love shut in.
An arbor which shades when the
sunshine of prosperity becomes too
dazzling; harbor where the human
ark finds shelter in the time of ad-
versity.
Home is the blossom of which hea-
ven is the fruit.
Home is the persons estate obtain
ed without injustice, kept without dis
guietude; a place where time is spent
without repentance, and which is
ruled by justice, mercy and love.
A grand old mirror through which
both sides of us are seen.
That source of comfort which youth
does not fully appreciate, which the
young men and maidens lovingly de-
sire, which the middle-aged general
possesses, which the old rightly value.
A hive in which, like the indus
trous bee, youth garners the sweets
and memories of life for age to med
late and feed upon.
The best place for married man
after business hours.
Home is the coziest, kindliest,
sweetest place in all the world, the
scene of our purest earthly joys and
deepest sorrows.
The place where the great are
sometimes small and the small are
often great.
The fathers kingdom, the chill
dren's paradise, the mothers world.
The jewel basket containing the
most precious of all jewels-domestic
happiness.
Where you are treated best and
grumble most.
Home is the central telegraph Of
flee of human love, into which run in
Vulnerable wires of affection; many
of which, through extending thou
sands of miles, are never disconnect-
ed from the one great terminus.
The center of our affections,
around which our hearts best wishes
twine.
A little hollow scooped out of the
windy hill of the world, where we
can be shielded from its care and an
noyances.
A popular but paradoxical insti-
tuition in which woman works in the
absence of man and man rests in
the presence of woman.
The place where all husbands
should be at night.
A working model of heaven, with
real angels in the form of mothers
and wives.

Switzerland Has a
Woman Lawyer

BERNE. Switzerland. Jan. s.
Switzerland today has its first wo-
man lawyer. Fraulein Lii Zgraggon
daughter of Bernese solicitor, was
formerly admitted to the bar today
after passing all the necessary quail
flying examinations, under the pro-
visions of the new civil code. This
code, recently enacted, although it
does not confer the right of suffrage
has immensely improved the legal
status of Swiss women, who are now
admitted to all of the professions, ex-
cept the ministry, on the same terms
as men.

Professors Disagree
on Radium in Ocean

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. a.
Absolute, sheer nonsense" This was
the comment today of Professor A. J..
Kovarick of the University of Min
nesota on the statement of Profess
sor Harry Jones of John Hopkins
university that million tons of rad
ium could be found at the bottom of
the sea. Professor Kovarick, one of
the worlds deepest students of the
mysteries of radium, and teacher in
the physics department at the Uni
versity Of Minnesota, declared he did
not think his fellow professor meant
to convey the impression, widely re-
ceived, that million tons or any
other large amount of radium lay
available at the bottom of the sea.
Bring me pailful of rock or soil
or ton Of it and ask me to extract
the radium from it and you have done
one thing, but ask me to take mil
lion tons of earth or water and take
the radium from it and you have done
something else. II is nonsense to
think of handling the volume of mat
ter necessary to obtain million tons
Of radium." To illustrate how mon
sensical" he thought it, Professor
Kovarick gave the results of some in
vestigations.
"Radium," he observed" was o5-
tanned for practically commercial
and laboratory purposes principally
from pitckblends and carmotite. From
a ton Of pitchblends, one Booth of an
ounce of radium could be obtained or
an amount as large as a small pea.
A ton Of carmotite would yield about
one-sixth as much as the pitchblends
The water of the sea contains 1,000,-
100000 times less than pitchblends.
Radium, we think, is in everything
about u.s." said the professor, "but
how to get it out in sufficiently large
quantities is an unsolved problem.
You must handle too much matter to
get it," Professor Kovarick was
skeptical Of the power Of radium to
cure cancer, the use of which for that
purpose was recently announced.
"Radium will cure some diseases Of
the skim" he said, but | cannot see
how it can be used successfully for
the treatment of cancer. If the can
Ger could be followed by radium to
its depths, it might be possible, but
il seems to me that the disease is too
deep seated There are three differ
ent radium rays. Two of them, the
beta and the alpha, are specially use
ful for medical purposes. They have
destructive effect on tissue, and IL
rightly applied may be used to de-
stroy certain disease tissues without
destroying the normal tissue. The
rays consist of the mot minute parti-
Gle Of the radium thrown out from
II.
Europe is ahead of us in the use
of radium for medical purposes.
There seems to be too much pedanti-
cism in American hospitals. The X
rays, which are very penetrating
like the gamma rays Of radium, are
relied on in place of radium, which Is
costlier. But radium is becoming bet.
ter appreciated. SO much better, tina.
in the past six months, the price pei
milligram, has gone from $50 10
500.

United Press

GULFPORT, Miss, Jan. 3.-The
administrations Mexican policy is
unchanged. Huerta must go, and un-
I'll he does, there is no chance of
modifying the policy of the United
States government
Standing on the platform of the
railway station here, President Will
son said the above. He denied he
intended to use force. The president
made statement to the correspond
ents regarding his three hour con-
ference last night with Lind aboard
the Cruiser Chester in the gulf. Lind
intends to return to Mexico this af-
ternoon, and will remain until
troubles there are ended.
The president was evidently pleas
ed with the conference, but would not
permit his remarks to be quoted, but
no doubt from the words he spoke he
continues to believe the elimination
of Huerta is the first step necessary
in restoration of permanent order in
Mexico.
Mr.. Wilson seems convinced the
Huerta regime is tottering, and that
the situation is gradually improving.
He denied Lind had brought any
alarming advices or brought up any
new questions, though he admitted
he considered as an abstract propo-
sition whether he left the embargo
on arms and recognize the belliger-
ency of the rebels.
PRESIDE, Texas, Jan. "a gen
