AS already said, the atmos-
phere at a height Of twenty or
twenty-five miles must be so
rare that a projectile would
pass through it almost as read
lily as through a perfect vac
Uum.. Then, nearly the whole
resistance to be overcome
would be encountered in the
first twenty miles (verticle) OF
the flight. The resistance
would diminish in accord with
the diminished atmospheric
pressure from the moment
that the projectile started.
The various circumstances
may be summed up thus:
Knowing by observation the
accleration OF gravity at the
surface of the earth-abouu
thirty-two feet per seCond-it
is easy, by the methods Of the
calculus, to determine the
"parabolic velocity" or the
velocity from infinity," Of a
body falling TO the earth from
any distance. This velocity
differs for different planets,
depending upon their respec-
tive masses. In the case of
the earth i amounts to nearly
seven miles per second.
Now. at first sight it may
seem that this velocity of fall
from infnity has nothing to do
with the question Of the veloc,
fly with which a projectile
must move in order to escape

Former Gov. Foss declared public

Commercial leaders of the United

Atlantic. City during the week of
July 2s. at the Invitation OF the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
to acquaint American business men
with the situation abroad. that they
may aid Europe in re-establishing
its commerce.
1t is felt that unless the European
countries can begin production on
a large scale they are faced with a
serious danger in that they may be
unable to pay for food and clothing
needed to support life itself. and
that it may be impossible for the
countries to reduce their war debts
Should Europe fail to regain it's
feet commercially and industrially
in the near future. it is pointed out,
American business men believe it
would mean American business

President by asserting that the Repub-
licans were always frying to mag
the President and make his position
a difficult one"
1t was also suggested that the Presi-
dent desired to give the Senate time
to consider the peace treaty without
being bothered at the same time with
the Franco-American agreement.
Senator Brandegee said in his speech
that the two treaties were linked to-
gether. He said the Foreign Relations
Committee has asked by resolution for
certain information from the President
without eliciting any response. This
applied particularly. he said, to the
request for the original American draft
of the league of nations, which the
President promised to give to the COM
mittee. but which has been withheld.
Since the return of the President,
the Senator continued, the committee
has asked for this draft, but has had
no answer from the White House.
Trying to Influence Jurymen.
Senator Brandegee continued:
Having tried his case before the
senate as lne Jury, tne freSlQent Is
now sending for the individual
jurymen. He ought to come before
the Senate or some committee of
the Senate with the information he
desires to present The people of
the United States are entitled to
some information"
Senator Hitchcock accused the
Republican Senators of attempting
to "hamstring' the President. He
said it appeared to be the purpose
of certain Senators to discredit
and criticise the President on all
occasions over trifling matters.
The Senator said he had no doubt
that the President would present
the treaty when the peace treaty
is out of the way.
Losing Prestige Abroad.
The attacks upon the President
have tended to decrease his intiu-
ence in Paris. Senator Hitchcock
said, and to cause him to yield to
the demands of other nations.
Senator Moses interrupted to in
quire whether if the attitude of the
Senate had been different. the
President would have been able ito
save China and prevent the shame
of Shantung." Senator Hitchcock
stated he was unable to answer this
question.

OYSTERS ENJOINED

CRABS have a way of making
their winter home in the same beds
with the oysters dowu- on the bot
tom of the bay. In years past,
when the oyster dredgers came
along and their tongs caught the
oysters. the oysters smacked. bit,
chewed and swallowed the crabs in
their vain efforts to escape. The
result was that the baby crabs
were killed. and as a consequence
summer crabbers at the bay resorts
had increasingly dull days.
