LIKES CONWAY BEST
 OF ALL; WILL RETURN

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 You will find enclosed check of S1.20 for four months, as I notice my subscription expires on the 8th and do not wish to miss an issue.

During my four years absence from Conway I have had the pleasure of visiting several towns in four differ ent states. As model little city to live in Conway, Ark, has them bested in many respects, and learning to love and appreciate Conway more thor oughly than ever before as town to raise, train and educate a family, l have fully made up my mind to return to Conway and begin anew.

TO SAFEGUARD RADIUM
 GIVEN MADAME CURIE
To Split Gramme Into Many Small Parts for Voyage to France
 Gift of U. s. Women.
By Henry Wood.

United Press Staff Cores spondent) Paris, April 9.-Just haw Madame Curie is going to bring back to France the gramme of radium that American women will present to her and to the French Faculty of Sciences presents ticklish little problem.
 If Madame Curie, for example, merely put the gramme of radium in her pocket for the return trip, several things might happen. First, she might lose it. Secondly, some international but unscientfc pickpocket might be tempted by the fact that it is worth about two million francs. Thirdly and worsely, if Madame Curie were to bring the gramme of radium home in her pocket, the things that would hap pen to her would mean a greater loss to the scientific world than as though some clever thief pinched the gramme.
 While Madame Curie probably wouldn't die on the spot, nevertheless the radio-activity of radium is SO great and it's effect upon the tissues so startling that were Madame Cure to show her appreciation of Americas gift by never parting with the precious gramme certain death would ensue
 The burning and destruction of the tissues that come from exposure to radium do not manifest themselves at once. The action of the radium is not on the skin itself, but on the tissues underneath. The sores engendere,. by exposure to radium begin to show themselves some two weeks after wards.
 However, Madame Curie is entirely too wise to the eccentrics of radium to allow herself to be trapped into any too close familiarity or even to en- danger sub epidermus of other passen- gers on the boat who will accompany her and the gramme back from New York.
 In fact ie has already been decided that the miscievous little gramme of radium will be split up into twelve or fifteen smaller and less mischevious parts.
 Each one of these parts will be en- closed in a glass bulb and each bulb enclosed in nice little lead case of about two inches in thickness-lead and platinum being nonconductors of radio-activity.
 The twelve or fifteen little lead cases will then be slowed away in the ships safe and if any enterprising thief wants to monkey with the combination in order to get his fingers on that two million francs worth of radium-why Madame Curie says he will just have to take all the risks himself, both le gally and scientifically.
 And she has very firm conviction that the scientific radio activity effects on the thief will render it quite un- necessary for the law to intervene in he case.

RES0URCEFUL WIFE
 COMES TO RESCUE
Furnishes Skirt for Husband to Don When His Only Trousers
 are Stolen.

w. E. Jumper, well known travel ing man of Conway, has a Pullman car yarn that is unusual, but he Fouches for it's truth. The story is as follows:
 One night last week, Mr. Jumper was on one of the sleepers of the Hot Springs train coming from St Louis to Little Rock. The berth ad- joining Mr. Jumpers was occupied by a man and his wife. Mir. Jumper said that the night was unusually warm, and most of the windows in the sleeper were up. During the night while the train stopped at some sta- tions between St. Louis and Beebe someone reached through the un- screened window and stole the man S trousers.
 The next morning when MT. Jumper awoke, the porter asked if he had lost anything and Mr. Jumper replied, No, why?"
 De man in de neX' berth done los his pants,' the porter replied. ''an' UdI man ana Ills Wlle Has to get o1I at Little Rock and dis car goes to Hot Springs" Futher inquiry by Mir. Jumper proved the statement by the negro, and the negro also said that several similar instances had been known.
 When the train was only few miles from Little Rock the porter came back with broad grin on his ebony face and told MT. Jumper that the man had been fixed up.
 How" MT. Jumper asked. "Some- one loan him pair of pants?"
 Nope, his wife done got him in de dressin' room putting one of her skirts onto him. the porter answered.
 And when the train reached Little Rock the man and his wife detrained, the man wearing his masculine attire as far as the waist, and his wife's skirt from the waist down as far as it would reach.

HIGHLAND PEACHES SAFE.

Little Rock, April 9.-Burt Johnson, the peach king of Highland, telephoned friends in Little Rock yesterday that his crop has not been injured by the frost and that his prospects are very fine for the biggest crop in many years. Last year his crop was al- most a failure, but he hopes that this year the yield will more than compen- sate for last years loss. Senator Cazort of Johnson county who was in the city yesterday, and who is also a large peach grower, says that the crop in the western part of the state has been completely ruined.

HE WAS RIGHT, ALRIGHT

Why do you turn out for every road hog that comes along" said the missus. rather grossly. "The right of way is ours isn't it?"
 "Oh, undoubtedly?" answered he, calmly. 'As for our turning out, the reason is plainly suggested in this epitaph which appeared in a news paper recently:
 Here lies the body of William Jay, He was right, dead right, as he sped
 along,
 But he's just as dead as if he'd been

BLIND MAN INVENTS
 STABILIZED PLANE
lRY United Pressl

Chicago, April 9.-A blind man has invented type of aircraft he says will revolutionize aerial warfare. He is Maxim Kaczmarek, real estate dealer.
 The sky-dreadnaught is called an areoplane." By circular arrange ment of planes Kaczmarek said his craft can hover in the air like an eagle. This stabalizing property would give bomber an opportunity to vast ly increase the number of his hits.
 Kaczmarek declares his machine will rise almost perpendicularly and land in a spot nearly as small as it's ow nbase. Thus necessity of take off and landing fields are eliminated.
 With the assistance of a boy me chanic the inventor built his machine on the roof of an office building In- stead of parallel planes, as in the or dinary heavier-than-air craft, Kacz- lmarek's model has six planes set in a clcular position, like an old fashioned sideWheeler on the Missississippi. The planes were placed on top of the ma chine Joined like a book The wings on the ascent of the wheel close and cut the air. They open up coming down.
 This enables one to gain the great est power without slip of propeller and there is no drag of the plane at an angle explained the inventor.
 4 model was tested out during the war, Kaczmarek said. While the trial made by an aviation lieutenant was not an entire success, the principle was demonstrated sound, it was said kackmarek added that a five horse power motor in his machine is the equivalent of a fifty horsepower mo- tor in the ordinary airplane.

ARKANSAS 10 BE
 GREAT OIL STATE

Little Rock, April 9.-That Arkan- sas is rapidly becoming a great oil state is the sincere conviction eff thou sands who have been studying the sit nation carefully from an industrial and financial standpoint. Since the first of the year, 60 oil companies nave been chartered for the purpose of developing the Arkansas field and many others are in prospect. In half dozen different counties wild cat ters are at work and any day we may expect the great oil pool to again be tapped and this will cause scores of other companies to enter the field.
 , It is not possible to determine de-
 finitely the actual number of oil wells that are being drilled, but it is known that there are literally hundreds of them; there is scarcel va section of the state that is being overlooked. The numerous producing wells that have been brought in have convinced the incredulous that there is an actual pool underlying the state and that the field will undoubtedly be developed into a permanent producer. Promo ters, boomers and the more conserva- tive investors are Hooking to Fl Do dorado and other points where pros poets are good and are bringing a golden flood of wealth into the state, hoping that the development of wells will increase 1t to perfect deluge.
