Urges Comfortable Bit and Rein
For Horses.

To tho Editor Of THE TIMES:
II is very pleasant to see that many
drivers are so thoughtful as to make
their horses as comfortable as possi-
BILE. This is especially noticeable OF
the big Ice and ice cream companies,
the bakeries and the laundries. This
Is certainly to their credit.
But occasionally one finds case
that fairly makes one ache with sym
pathy for the horse. Recently, near
Thomas Circle, I saw a fine horse
hitched to wagon of one OF our best
known coal companies - with its
mouth so stretched out OF shape by
the bit and its head held so rIgidly In
one position by n too-short rein that
the horse was in great discomfort.
Another painful case noticed was that
of horse driven to one of the city's
garbage wagons.
] would ask drivers to see that the
bit rests easily in the horses mouth
and that the rein allows the animal to
stretch it's neck at least a little.

Letters to the Editor
Wants to Know If Farmers
Really Desire Help.

To tho Editor Of THE TINES:
There has been a great deal Of agi-
tatfon in the press anent scarcity OF
farm hands. Recently friend of
mine decided that 1t would be fine
thing to work on a farm during the
summer, So he advertised in two OF
the leading papers and connoently
awaited answers.
Did he succeed? Not much! All he
DID get was one solitary reply and
that was not exactly from a farmer
desiring help. Anyway, my young
friend accepted the one chance OF
fered and he UCnt away much sur
prised man-to say the least.
OF course, / don't suppose that
those farmers who may have read his
ad. knew that the only remuneration
which this youngster expected was
decent board and transportation; also
they may have been suspicious of his
ability and willingness to really
work, although the fact that he ad-
vertised for this kind Of work surely
showed some good faith.
1t DOES seem funny, though, that,
with all this hue and cry about scare
iity of labor there were none inter
ested enough to even answer the
above mentioned ad.
1t would be interesting to learn
whether this scarcity of labor Is a
real condition or whether our farm
ers, like a good many others. prefer
not to pay or would rather do with
out help than produce in quantity
and receive less for their own prod
ucts. 1t is very hard in these good
old days of profiteering to distinguish
| between a real cry of distress and a
piece OF "camoafage" designed to in
crease the already terrific II. c. L.
Perhaps 1 am unjust and my
friends case may be an unusual one,
so that a few enlighten'ng words
from you on this subject would be
greatly appreciated by good many
OF us. NJ f. ]. E-tUNOW.

from the center Of the earth causes
gravity at the poles to exceed that
at the equator.
This is not the same difference
that would be found by simply
squaring the distances and taking
their ratio inversely, because the
effect of gravity in this comparison
depends not only on radial dis
tance, but on the variations Of dem
sity inside the earth.
The flattening at the poles is
too slight to have any noticeable ef-
feet upon the distance of the hori-
zon. In any event the horizon
would not "rise." except through
some effect OF atmospheric refrac-

weight at the equator is made up OF
two things-frst the effect of CEN
trifugal force, which diminishes the
weight more at the equator than
anywhere esle, and not at all at the
poles, and second, the effect of the
smaller distance of the poles from
the center OF gravity. which also
makes a body weigh more at a pole
