Better Day May Be Dawning
For Government Employees
By BILL PRICE.

better day may be dawnng for underpaid workers
of Uncle Sam-thousands of them today not receiving
living wage from the Government which should lead all
other employers in fair pay-if Senator HARDING will
out squarey for increased salaries Governor
COX has done The staff correspondent of The Times at
Columbus asserts that Governor Cox means what he said
in his speech of acceptance that Government employees
should be properly compensated"
Presumably Senator Harding is just as much in SYM
pathy with just treatment of Government workers Gov
ernor COx but there will be encouragement to struggling
paid workers if the Republican nominee will make his
attitude known in to leave doubt of his inen-
tions should he be elected President T
There 100000 pretty well organized Govern
ment employees in the country who sufficiently enght
ened to understand the chunk" in politics They have
been ''bunked many times before This year there is
strong tendency among them to vote with the party that
actually MEANS to give them square DEAL as differen
tiated from the that merely hands out BUNK PROM
SES not intended to be seriously considered after election
day. These people even thousands of those right here
in Washington go to their homes to vote) and clear
derstandng of what they to expect will be welcome to
them a guide next November
Governor Cox makes it clear that he favors economy in
Government, but he would prefer it is claimed for him. to
pay living wage to fewer number of workers than to
underpay large number.
Presidents coming into the White House often i'm
bued with the purpose of exclusively diving into great
tiona international problems for the records to be
achieved, but day there may be President who
and will handle the big problems without ignoring the
smaller that involve just treatment for compara
lively small number of good American citizens who
getting practically the pay they received quarter of
la century ago. The game of playing to influential classes
of welorganized bodies of voters is old and often
unjust The President who will demand justice for small
number of people having great political influence will
break precedents.

GARRETT P. SERVISS' ARTICLE

the center point draw a vertical
radial line. Where this line cuts
the curve in the middle is the place
where the weight would be if it
hung affected by gravity alone.
Now draw two or three other
radial lines meeting the curve at
different heights, all on the same
side Of the semi-circle. Each OF
these lines will stand for the di-
agonal of the forces at some par
ticular speed at which the weight
is whirled. The higher the We
locity the higher tie position OF
the diagonal on the diagram, and
the nearer its approach to hor!-
zontality.
Also, the higher the velocity, the
shorter the vertical component.
From the outer end of each radial
line representing a diagonal dr"w
a horizontal line to meet the ver-
teal. Then each such Horizontal!
line will represent the centripetai
or horizontal, component Of the
combined forces, while the length
of the vertical radial line included
between the center point from
which the semi-circle was de-
scribed and the point of intersec-
ton of the horizontal line will
denote the gravity component.
The tendency of the whirling
weight to rise in opposition to
gravity is due to the fact that as
long as it revolves in any plane
below the plane of the centripetal
force (which is determined by the
motion of the HANDY that force
itself must have two components,
one horizontal and parallel to the
plane of the force, the other ver-
teal and perpendicular to that
plane. }
OPPOSITION TO GRAVITY.
1t is this vertical component of
the centripetal force that acts in
opposition, to gravity and at each
level Of the plane of revolution
balances the gravitational force.
In your diagram you will find that
each line representing the gravity
component likewise represents its
equal, /. e., the corresponding ver-
teal component Of the centripetal
force.
In connection with this | wish to
make q correction. In n recent
article by accident | said that the
velocity impaired by gravity va
ries as the square Of time. What
l should have said, and intended to
say, is that the distance fallen va
ries as the square Of time. The We
locity varies simply as the time.
Thus, in one second falling body
acquires a velocity Of about 30 feet
per second, and in three seconds
the velocity becomes SO feet. But
in one second body falls l6 feet,
and in three seconds 144 feet.

Eminent Astronomer and Authority
on Subjects of Scientific Interest.
eff l tie weight to the end OF
a string and whirl it in a horizontal
circle. as the velocity increases the
string becomes almost perpendicu-
lar to the axis of rotation. The
forces acting on the weight are
centrifugal, the reaction centripetal,
the propelling force which pulls it
around in a circle, and gravity or
all the forces acting on the weight
none of them, or their components,
act opposite to gravity, yet why is
gravity overcome?-A. c. Lem
~OU are mistaken in thinking
7 that no force acts against
4 gravity when the weight is
whirled around in a horizontal cir
Gle. There is a component directly
opposed to gravity. To find it, be-
gin with the weight hanging mo-
tionless at the end of the string.
Gravity then holds it in a vertical
position.
Now, move your hand which
holds the other end of the string
to one side. If the movement is
made very slowly the weight will
remain undisturbed in position, ex-
cept that it will accompany the mo-
ton of the hand, and so continue
to hang in vertical line. But
make the motion suddenly, in
horizontal plane, and the effect, as
you can see by drawing a diagram,
is as if the weight mad virtually
been lifted a little, thus compelling
gravity, in order to keep it verti-
cally under the point of suspen-
sion, to swing it through an arc Of
a circle.
WEIGHT ACQUIRES ACTION.
The weight thereupon acquires
a motion like that of a pendulum.
The stronger the disturbing force
the higher the weight rises at the
turning point of each oscillation.
Then change the to-and-fro motion
of the point of suspension to a cir
cular motion, and the pull of your
hand upon the weight becomes con-
tinuous, the result being that the
weight is kept in opposition to
gravity, at a certain height above
the level which it occupies when
hanging vertical, and is made to
revolve at that height in a circle
around your hand.
The height depends upon the
ratio Of the whirling force to
gravity. Increase that force, and
with It, OF course, the velocity,
and you may be able so far to
overcome" gravity that the hori-
zontal circle in which the weight
revolves is nearly on a level with
your hand.
The line formed by the stretched
string between your hand and the
weight may be regarded as the
diagonal Of the combined forces,
the vertical component represent
ing the effect OF gravity, and the
horizontal component the effect OF
