South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1918-07-10

I suppose you get tired OF an
swering such questions as the one
1 am going to ask, but 1 assure you
the answers DO a lot of good 10 a
lot OF people. This is my question:
What is gravitation-a pull or a
push, and what makes it act ~
L. c."
/ do not know whether gravita-
tion is a pull or q push--it may be
neither, in the ordinary sense of
those words However, the word
attraction, in the descriptive
phrase attraction of gravitation. 80
certainly indicates a drawing, or
pulling, force and the universal use
Of that phrase shows that. whatever
the real manner in which gravita-
ton operates may be, it seems TO
the senses, and ordinary intelli-
gence. OF all men 10 be analogous
TO a pull.
This is almost an instructive i'm
preston, for when We drop an OBJ
jet we never think Of a force push
ing il downward, but rather of a
force pulling it. So, too, when we
speak of the earth holding the moon
in its orbit a mental picture fits
before us Of something like a
stretched cable reaching from the
earth 10 the moon.
Gravitation has been defined s a
stress" in the suppositious medium
80 afva
in the scientific sense Of the term.
has two components in the form Of
two opposite and equal forces, and
there are two sorts Of stresses,
which Prof Oliver Lodge describes
as either like the stress eXerted by
a piece of stretched elastic which
pulls the two things TO which it is
attached with equal force in op-
posite directions and which is
called tension or like the stress
OF compressed railroad buffers or
of a piece of squeezed india rubber.
which eXerts an equal push each
way, and is called a pressure. "
When gravitation is considered
in this manner the attention, as
Prof. Barker has remarked. is con-
centrated more closely upon the
medium intervening between the
two attracting bodies than upon
the bodies themselves. All force IL
of the nature of a stress. If. there
fore. the medium between any two
bodies is in a state of stress. one
aspect of the stress is toward the
one body. the other aspect is to-
ward the other. Hence the two
bodies tend - approach each
other"

DEPARTMENT
ARE INDICTED

Washington, June 19-Employes of
the war and navy departments today
were drawn into the net set by Con-
through indictments returned here
charging four men with trying 10
collect on q duplicate bill for S1S7 900
submitted by a drydock company for
repairs to a government vessel. The
case does not involve contingent fee
protiteers. but grew out of the inves-
tigation into their practices.
The four indicted are Clyde C.
Waltman. a yeoman in the navy de-
partment's bureau of supplies and
accounts, Charles E. Waltman. his
brother. a business man of Victoria,
Va, Benjamin w Peake, soldier
stationed at Fort Meigs. Wn., former
ly of the bureau, and D. Malvin
Mowery, a stenographer employed in
the signal corps Office formerly +of
Lancaster, Pa.
Definite proof of specific payments
to contingent fee agents was gathered
today by Assistant Attorney Gener-
al Thompson from records seized in
the raids on these agencies head
quarters in Washington. Monday.
AS corrective measure, Attorney
General Gregory is planning to ask
heads of departments to assist in CO.
ordinating their contract work. Tnis
is not expected to change radically
the system of placing orders, or to re-
suit in formation of a central gov
ernment purchasing agency, sbut it
may have the effect of eliminating
much of the secrecy now surround
ins many war department contracts.
Close scrutiny of warship building
contracts has been underway at the
shipping board for two months. Com
mission agents undertook to negotiate
