Why Groom to a Wedding ?

June Is. the beginning OF the balmy
season. Maybe that explains why June
runs heavy for weddings. Another
thing worth noticing is that the month
following July was picked for the sign

A month after the wedding the first tilt
comes on aud both parties strongly
voice their opinions OF independence.
AZ a wedding, more fuss Is raised over
the bride than the groom. She is smotl-

IS AIRMEN's PATRON SAINT
Michael, With His Wings and Spear,
Is Peculiarly Qualified for That
High Position.

1t was the wing of st. Michael, chief
Of the archangels and head Of the ce-
lestial militia, which Jeanne dare
heard, they say, whirring about her In
the little garden Of Domremy when she
had her softly spoken but insistent call
to arms. And now, as II 1t were not
enough to be the one who called
Jeanne dare from Domremy to Rou-
en-, st. Michael Is also the patron
saint of aviators, because he heads ce-
lestial warriors and battles In the
air.
In a London church on Spanish
place-the church to which King Al
fonso went when he was there
there is a new stained window with
an airplane mosaicked into its design.
and that window Is dedicated to St.
Michael, patron saint Of airmen.
st. George met his dragon on the
earth, but St. Michael battled with the
devil and his angels In the celestial
spaces and threw them out Of heaven.
With his wings and his spear he was
the great prototype Of the armored air
plane. and 1t may be that even the In
spring Jeanne dare did not satisfy
him and that he has always kept In
his mind this time when men should

A Spinning Ton.

A spinning top is kept from falling
because Of the speed with which II
revolves. The attraction Of grayita.
ton is temporarily overcome by the
centrifugal force produced by the ro-
tation Of the top when 1t is spun. Each
part Of the top is subject to the
same centrifugal force as each other
part at the same distance from the
axis of rotation and to no greater
force, so that there Is no cause for
the top being pulled in any particu-
lar direction by the force Of gravity.
As soon as the centrifugal force
begins to lessen because Of lessening
speed of rotation the attraction Of
gravity begins to be exerted again and
the top begins to wabble. When the
spinning motion diminishes to such an
extent that the attraction Of gravity
becomes greater than the centrifugal
force the top falls to one side.
