The claim recently msde that girls who
dress In an abnormal fashion belong TO
the freak family Is causing friends Of my
sex to rush 20 their defense with the
charge that tho men are to blame.
Is Il possible that the men are the
freaks; that some strange. unnatural
kink in their brains is causing them to
admire that which good sense should
condemn2 II is TO their moral degen-
eraoy that the indecent styles In dress
are due!. Does every man who passes
by a nice, modest girl 10 pay his atten-
lions TO one who dresses freaklshly and
! immodestly put the stamp Of approval
on that which his own good sense de-
cries?
The young man who stood on the
street corner" writes girl, ''and won
dered where he could look for a wife.
being satisfied he could never find her
in the throng OF freaks passing by, will
look for her among the freaks. Just tho
same Take my word for that! know
the men. and know that the NICE sensI-
bic girls are the girls who are left on
the sheif''
Let me say right here" writes zone
OF Them THAT the world Is full of girls
OF fine character and womanliness
whose ambitions and ideas are higher
than for just a good time. These girls
are not dowds, either They look smart.
even II most OF them make their own
clothes, and they know all about house
work, and they like and enjoy a decent
good time. Men nowadays don't trouble
themselves as to a girls ideals. Their
first question is, Does she dress swell p
or Is she a good sport?' The question OF
the intelligence OF girl Is OF no interest
| TO them. II doesn't seem right, but that
is just how things are. SO let these young
| men look a bit furtheran they will find
plenty OF good, sensible girls. That 10. n
they want 20 find them; but the trouble
is that they don't"

There are two kinds OF lies-whlte lies

that you tell yourself, and black lies
are the kind the other people tell.

although he cannot carry It off ON his

Let us then turn our attention for q
few moments TO the inside OF the earth.
The healthy mind approaches such a
f, subject with the avidity OF a hungry
man sitting down TO a bounteous dinner
The reader whose letter started this
writing begins with a mistake. He says:
Abstract mathematicians assume the
weight OF a body to increase down to
tho center OF the EARTH" and then he
sets out to demonstrate that they arc
wrong. But no such assumption Is ever
made. Mathematician and physicists
are perfectly aware that tho weight OF
bodies must decrease as the earth's CEN
/ ter is approached. That center Is the
focus toward which the attraction OF the
earth draws any body above II, or on
its surface, and the amount OF that nt-
I traction measures the weight of the
body, but arrived at the center itself the
body would have no weight, because
there the attraction Is balanced on all
sides.
The decrease OF weight as the center
OF the earth IL approached Is based upon
very curious fact. the development OF
which BY Sir Isnac Newton Is as delight
full as a romance for those who can APP
| preclate II.
In that great epic Of science. the "Prln-
cipis,r Newton shows that at any point
in the interior OF a spherical shell OF
homogeneous material the effect of It's
attraction IL zero, or nothing NJ all, IL
| the earth wero such a shell, instead OF
being, as we believe. a solid globe
throughout. then a body placed inside
the earth would have no tendency to
| fall in any direction. II would simply
stay wherever It was put unless some
other force than gravitation were brought
TO bear upon Il.
Now this same reasoning applies to the
solid earth II we divide II, Ideally, into
a series OF concentrie shells. You can
make those shells OF any thickness you
please. When you go down into a deep
mine you leave above your level shell
OF the earth's substance equal In thick
| ness TO the depth OF the mine. The at

tractive force. or eravitation, OF that shell
is neutralized. as far as you are con-
cerned, and you will be drawn toward
the earths center only by the. attraction
OF the spherical mass that still lies below
your level
When YOU get TO the center there is
no matter below yeu--all is above and
equally distributed all around. 50 that
tho aigobraic sum OF ita attractions upon
you Is zero. e.t
AS Prof. Young has remarked All
though at the center OF the earth the at
traction necessarily becomes zero. vet,
as we descend below the surface, gravity
increases for a time down 20 some un-
known. but probably not very great
depth. where Il becomes a maximum"
The Iowa reader is certainly wrong in
placing the depth OF maximum uttrac-
ton, or weight at S,I00 miles below the
surface. 1t cannot be anything like 50
great. but lust what Il Is we do not
know because we are ignorant Of tho
real distribution OF materials inside the
globe.
But the fact that the weight OF bodies
must decrease as the earth's center Is
approached docs not contradict the as
sumption, based on other considerations,
that the interior consists. OF matter
much more dense than the surface, or
outer she'll Thus II lie not improbable
