Simms, director of the museum. It was purâ€" chased and presented to the museum by Staney Field, the institution‘s president. The new specimen will be added to the museum‘s collection of meteorites, which, in number of falls represented, is the world‘s most comâ€" prehensive collection. Fell in Arkansas Feb. 17, 1930, and Is Now in the Field Museum; Others The new messenger from. space, called the Paragould meteorite, fell at Paragould, Ark., on a farm owned by Joe H. Fletcher. The stone weighs 820 pounds, being 175 pounds heavier than any previously recorded. In falling it penetrated hard clay to a depth of nine feet. ~ Largest Previously The largest stone previously known which was seen to fall from a meteor weighs 646 pounds, Dr. Farrington states. This fell at Knyahinya, Hunâ€" gary, on June 9, 1866, and penetrated the earth to a depth of eleven feet. It is now in the Vienna Museum. "The meteor which dropped the Paragould stone, now in Field Muâ€" seum, attracted attention in three statesâ€"Missouri, Illinois and: Akanâ€" sas." Dr. Farrington says. . "Its light was so bright that persons in St. Louis who saw it thought it was an airplane going down in flames. It burst with detonations which were heard as far north as Poplar Blufl,‘ Missouri, and as far east as Covingâ€" ton, Tennessee. The meteor came from a southwestern direction. _ At Paragould nearly everyone in the town was awakened by the detonaâ€" tions, and live stock was stampeded. Smaller Stone "Aâ€" smaller stone, weighing 80 pounds, which fell at the same time, was discovered about ~three miles from Paragould, by a farmer who noticed earth freshly thrown for a distance of thirty feet. The stone had also made a furrow in a northâ€" east direction. It was found~at a depth of 34 inches, Finding of this stone led to a. search for others, and a month later, on March 16, the large mass weighing 320 pounds now at the museum, was discovered." Says Those Who Wish to Succeed Must Pay Penalty of Leadership Ambition and hard work are not sufficient to make real business leadâ€" ers. Ninetyâ€"nine out of a hundred average business men never become leaders because they are unwilling to pay the penalties that leadership demands, according to Owen D. Young, one of the foremost industrial and financial figures of the day, in an interview in The American Magazine. "Lack of ambitionâ€"or lack of a "Lack of ambitionâ€"or lack of a sort of wishful thinking that often passes an ambition, is rather rare. Most men honestly want places of power, but they refuse to believe that \ "There is nothing. magical â€" about \â€"leadership. â€" But there are certain penalties attached to it. The averâ€" age man has a sneaking notion that he can get ahead just as fast and be comfortable at the same time, He thinks, no doubt, that in his case it won‘t be necessary to pay the penaiâ€" t‘esâ€"that he can beat the game. the price isâ€"so high," Young continâ€" ues "By the penalties of responsibility I mean the hard driving, continuous workâ€"the little daily sacrificesâ€"the courage to face facts, to make deciâ€" sions, to stand the gaffâ€"the scourgâ€" ing honesty of never fooling yourself about yourself. Even when human beings do apprehend at least dimly, the real cost of leadership, too often they fail to measure up to the test. If they had a big crisis to meet, on which they knew their whole future would depend, they would meet it with clenched fists and a high heart. But in the little daily demandsâ€"the things they can do or duck â€" it is here they fail,. If you see anyone shy away from a task, however small, you may be sure that you can‘t rely on him at the finish." Report Fashions Are Reviving Old Phrases in Women‘s Language The language of American women is being revolutionized by the changâ€" ing fashions, it was discovered in an inquiry conducted by The Country Home, the results of which have just been announced. Words that have been out of use during the flapper decade and even some midâ€"Victorian expressions are being revived, it was found. For nearly ten years women have scorned the use of "pretty," "quaint," "sweet," or "lovely" in describing clothes. Now the words are appearâ€" ing everywhere in fashion circles, "The language of women has underâ€" gone a decided change," one modiste declared. "They now love to have adjectives applied to them that are as far as possible from being masâ€" culine." Moreover, the inquiry disclosed, girls are revising the flapper names they used to bear so proudly, to fit the rtiew note of feminity that has come intu clothes. One girl, christenâ€" ed Alexandria, was found begging her friends to call her "Alix," if they must use a nickâ€"name. Throughout the flapper age, she had reveled in being called "Sandy," but it‘s too tomâ€" boyish now she declared, to fit with the frilly, more sedateâ€"clothes of the present season. "Still another reaction to the new fashions was cited by a New York hair dresser, who declared that his business girl clients are abandoning severe coiffures in favor of permaâ€" nent waves and fluffs. Formerly they clung to plain styles to heighten their appearance of efficiency. Now, they say, they want to look "sweet" and feminine, rather than efficient. Sidewalks Are Too Grim With the progress of modern maâ€" chinery we have been getting underâ€" foot all too much of the gray flatâ€" ness that oozes from the concrete mixer.â€"Woman‘s Home Companion.
