of mankind, will soon be conquered by
the use of radium.
Since the beginning of time this ele-
ment has existed in nature. For the
last score or more of years the pres
ence of some unseen but powerful
force has been suspected. Scientists
sought to discover what 1t was, but
sought in vain, till quiet little Polish
woman, after years Of laborious exper-
iment discovered it.
That a woman should have made
this discovery-one of the most notable
in all history-is highly Important.
1t disproves forever the old conten-
ton that there is any difference be-
tween the brain of man and that of
a woman.
The highest concentration, the great
est reasoning power, the most indom-
liable determination were required for
the years of work which had to be done
before this discovery could be made.

Much is yet to be done before the
power Of radium over cancer can be

But this can be left to others, as the

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"HRick"

r IKE many other expressions
- which, at first glance, APP
pear to belong to the slang Of a
very recent period, Hes a
brick" dates back to the days Of
ancient history, Plutarch being
authority for the statement that
Lycurgus used it m connection
with the defense Of Sparta.
The story goes that Lycurgus,
being a man Of few words, was
asked whether Sparta should be
inclosed with walls, and replied:
"That city is well fortified
which has a wall Of men instead
of brick"
Another historical allusion of
the same nature was made when
an ambassador from Epirus, on
diplomatic mission, was shown
by the king of Sparta over his
capital. The ambassador was
amazed to see that the city was
apparently unfortified and re-
marked about the matter.
Indeed" replied the king.
"Thou canst not have looked
carefully. Come with me tomor-
row and 1 will show you the
walls Of Sparta"
On the following morning the
king led his guest out upon the
plains, where his army was
drawn up in full battle force.
There, pointing proudly to the
solid battalions Of armed men,
he exclaimed: Thou beholdest
the walls Of Sparta-every man
Of them a brick !"
The antiquity Of the express
sion in English may be gathered
from the fact that the Ingoldsby
Legends contain the following
couplet:
TN brief, / don't stick to declare
Father Dick,
So they called him for short, was a
regular brick"

DR.. Pendleton has devoted many
years of careful study to the prep

IF no one cared to read the fu-

would be no crystal gazers no cof-
fee grounds and tea leaf readers and
none skilled in deciphering the palm
or manipulate the cards.
God alone really knows the flu

that God foretells a great age where
in Christ shall reign in power. We

FLAGSTAFF SEES
MUCH MARCH SNOW
Especial to The Republican,


FLAGSTAFF. Ariz., March It,
Arizona's Skylight City is having a
great deal of March snow this year.
Last Saturday it began to fall about
sunup and continued on during the
entire day and a good part of the
night so that on Sunday morning
there was a full 20 inches of snow all
over the town and surrounding coun-
try. Right after the weather turned
off warm and the sun shone bright
and by yesterday-W Wednesday,
of it had melted in the town and sur
rounding flats. This morning when
the people awoke there was another
three inches of half snow and half
sleet all over the town.
This is no frost in the ground along
the Mogollon mountain range, and all
Of the moisture is going straight into
the ground. The thaw of the first of
the week was without any runoff to
speak Of, and the soil is absorbing
moisture the best in some years. The
sheep owners, cattle growers and
farmers of Flagstaff all unite in pre-
diction of a good season for them all.
1t is rather a brighter time ahead
that the sheep men of northern Ari-
zona are predicting anyway. All Of
the word that comes from the flock
masters who have taken their herds
down to southern Arizona is that feed
is plenty. water plenty weather mod
crate. and a good crop OF lambs and
an abundant shearing of wool as
sured. Those who have kept their
flocks along the Little Colorado and
along the Puerco are having just as
good success. Added to this, the
price of wool is going up, so that the
sheep business bids fair to be one OF
the first industries of the state to gel
back to a flourishing condition.
Potato culture in Flagstaff and vi
cinity is getting to be an industry
that is worth while. For 1921 the
crop was approximately 800 carloads
1t will evidently be increased this
year-and those who know best think
the production win reach 500 car
loads.
