nurses all the time. I wish I was

But you better not talk back to any
customers nowadays, anyhow. as a
lot Of gents is beginning 10 let their

it would take much Of an excuse for
any customer to quit you cold"

BILLIONS FOR re OR BILLIONS FOR An

(By Harry KEYS Stormont)
(By Harry Keys StormC

Back in the days when his country was young g
real American stood up in the halls of congress and
uttered the edict that will ring down the ages so long
as America ana American ideals endure:
Millions for defense, but not one
cent for tribUtei'
II those words were set TO music they would make
an anthem tina, would cause US all TO rise TO our feet,
hats off, salutng Old Glory,
There are thousands and hundreds of thousands Of
people. doubtless. who have not taken this war ser
iously. Not seriously enough to 20 TO the point of dis
commoding themselves into Smelling out their Stacker
dollars in order hat these dollars may earn them more
dollars while they are working for Uncle sam
But now, il isn't millions that are wanting for de-
fense-or that may lie wanted for tribute.
It's biuions-and more billions.
And, please God, it's for defense that we want these
billions,
IF we don't right now, unslaek those Stacker
dollars.
IF we don't turn them loose in an overwhelming
how,
If we can't see the investment in this outpouring.
Then il will not be for defense.
1t viii be for tribute. Tribute 10 the kaiser in
.levies. indemntties and enslaving, grinding taxes.
Let's all stand with that early wise man in II

The earth is continually Juggling
at il, however, with the force Of
gravitation, and since they are
both moving in the same direction
round the sun it follows that when
the moon is behind the earth at
first quarter, the pull of the latter
becomes effective in increasing the
moons velocity In it's path, and this
causes the moon TO gain upon the
earth, and in about eve days, TO
come up even with il. in the posi-
ton of full moon.
With its increased velocity. which
has about attained its maximum at
hat point. the moon now passes the
earth, but Immediately upon getting
ahead, the pull of the earth begins
to decrease it's velocity, until in
seven days more, at third quarter,
when it again crosses the line OF the
earth's orbit (but this time ahead of
the earth). its velocity has been so
much slowed that il falls back with
respect 90 the earth. and thus re-
turns first to the position of new
moon, and afterward tg that of
first quarter, where once more its
velocity begins L be increased by
the earth's pull.
The total change in the moons
velocity, as compared with the
earth's, amounts TO about 1000
miles per hour, /. e.. the full moon
travels around the sun about 1000
miles per hour. faster than the
earth, and the new moon about
1900 miles per hour slower than
the earth.

But their common motion around
the sun : performed at a speed
more than 30 times greater than
that OF the moons revolution around
their center OF gravity Cor around
the earth), the consequence being
that the real path Of the moon,
considered as IL lies in space. and
not as 1t seems TO us looking from
the earth. is drawn out into a curve.
whose radius or curvature changes
slightly, but which, as above said.
is always concave toward the sun.
The best way to convince one-
self of this fact is 70 make a dia-
gram showing the earth n the
moon at say four periods in the
month, viz. new moon (moon be-
tween earth and SUM, first quarter
(mOon behind earth in line Of lat
ter's orbit. full moon Cmoon op-
posite to SUM, and third quarter.
(mOon ahead OF earth In line OF
latter's orbit).
In making the diagram IL is es-
sential 10 express by the relative
length OF lines the proportion OF
the speeds. Thus. in the seven
days from first quarter to full
moon the earth and moon together
travel more than 1000 900 miles
eastward around the sun. while the
moon travels only about $50. 600
miles eastward around the earth 10
reach a position 240. roo miles out

represent this In your diagram by

The Moon and the Earth
BY GARRETT r. SERVISS

I have had two or three letters
expressing the puzzlement of the
writer's concerning the motion of the
moon with regard to the earth. We
commonly speak of the zoe as re-
vOlving around the earth, and in
fact our eyes show US that she does
appear, in succession. in the course
of a month. on all sides OF the earth,
with respect to the sun, being be-
tween the earth and the sun at the
time Of new moon" and on the op-
posite side of the earth from the
sun at the time of full moon"
Yet the fact is hat the sun and
not the earth is the center OF mo-
tion around which the moon re-
wolves, and If her orbit is drawn to
scale on a diagram il will be seen
that the curve is always concave
toward the sun, although half the
time it is convex with regard TO the
earth. The curvature alters. it Is
true, but never sufficiently to pro-
duce a point Of inhexion or a
change from %concavity TO
ity, or vice versa. as far as the sun
is concerned. But at full moon
the moons orbit about the sun is
convex toward the earth.
To understand the paradox it is
only necessary to remember that
the earth and the moon are so near
one another hat their mutual at
traction Causes them TO turn round
and round their common center Of
