How Would Youa

Because of the indefatigable calcu-
laions Of Sir Isaac Newton. the Eng

slightest CNcrtion you could bound
over mountain one mile high If you
lived on Eros. the small asteroid.
II YOU care for athletic foats OF
strength, you might consider youselt

you could easily lift SEA pound safe
or, IL residing on the moon, YOU might
grab n modernweight automobile and
hold Il alcft. Residing in the sun
would prevent you from lifting more
than seven pounds, while voting

the man would rise to two tons. If
you could. perchance. explore the in

little journey thru the center. at the
center of tho earth you would weigh
nothing. while at the entrance or exit
of the shaft you would weigh normally
$50 pounds.
But how about all this strange
nhnnCynena Of gravitation. YOU ask.
Just this; Each planet in the solar
system hiss its parabolic or, as we
might call il. velocity of escape from
the solar system, and as this varies
inverselv as the square root of the
plants distance from the sun. il be-
comes less and less as the planets

Illustrations and detailed explanations

For Neptune the parahoIic velocity
is only - miles per second. Since it
can be shown that this velocity Ct

root Of the mass of the attracting body

Worth to a custemer--other Iowa
Cities Also Short-Meat Price Shows
No Decline Here.

Because housewives were able TO
buy sugar the early part OF The week
in amounts of more than two pounds
at time it has become the general
opinion that there is fairly large
amount Of sugar on hand in the city.
This is rot true as housewives found
when they were again limited 10
quarters worth at time. Three car
loads OF sugar were received in the
city by local wholesalers the first OF
the week but as that is only 1900 bags
to be divided among many customers
il will readily IL seen that the supply
can not last long.
Wholesalers do not promise another
shipment of any size for some time.
There will. however, be small ship

Shortage is General.
City people are inclined 10 think that
the sugar shortage is only local but in

that il the wholesalers were not en-
tirely out of sugar they were very
nearly so and expected to be soon un-
less shipments were received upon
which no definite arrival date had been
promised
Reports from cities out Of the state
show the same conditions leTisting.
Local wholesalers thought at one time
that the situation would be greatly re-
lieved by Oct. !, but are now Of the
opinion that It will be some time later
than that before the situation becomes
normal. Therefore they are reticent
about making any definite promises
for the future on the subject
Meat Prices Not 20 Decline.
In spite Of the fact that cattle and
hog prices are lower and have been
for some time the local retail prices
on meats have not declined and they
are not likely to be any lower than
they usually are at this time OF the
year" said a local dealer.
Prices in the cattle market have been
gradually on the decline for the past
few weeks. due possibly to the large
receipts and for that reason also II Is
likely that the looked for drop in the
high price of meat may not materialize.
Just when and how the lowering OF
meat prices is to be accomplished no
retailers would venture 10 suggest

Differences Of opinion are believed
to exist as to- whether it wo@id be

assembly should be suppressed as llle-

the former view will prevail.
