Explains the Seasons

To the Editor Of the EvoniHD Public Ledoer:
Sir-A reader asks why we have summer
when, the earth is farthest away from the
sun. and winter when It. is nearest. There
are two chief reasons why we have sum-
mer when we do. In the first place short
days and long nights mean fewer hours OF
heating and more hours of cooling. Sec
ond., the suns rays are less obllque when
the days are long. and so have greater
hc ating powers In summer. therefore. tho
surface IL heated more hours day than
during the winter and the average amount
OF heat Is greater while the sun shines.
Since the northern hemisphere Is being
heated most at the time Of the summer SOL
stice (Junc 2D, and least at the time Of
the winter solstice December 22). II would
seem that thcsN dates respectively would
be the times OF greatest and least heat. but
this Is not the case. It follows that the
temperature OF any given latitude Is not
altogether dependent on the amount of heat
II Is receiving from the sun. for II II were
We would have the same temperature on
March 81 as we would on September 90
But the latter date is warmer because the
warmth of the summer has not all been
lost. On March 81 the SOIL rocks. lakes
and the Ike are Just recovering from n
period OF cold weather. The summer SOL
stice Is not the hottest part of the year
in the northern hemisphere. for the SUM
mer's heat has not yet overcome the effects
of the preceding winter. The time Of
greatest, heat lags behind the time Of great
est heating and the time OF greatest cold
does not come until after the time of least
heating. NJ Id

TO the Editor ~ the Eventno Public Ledoer:
Sir--The real campaign issue. in my
huinbe Judgment. is not the question of the
League OF Nations. and fear many voters
are being misled by IL. and maybe led to
waste their vote. I have met a number OF
republicans. good-meaning ouakers, and
others who talk favorably Of the Democrat tic
candidate because they believe in the
League of Ma tions. why. Senator Harding
and every good Republican believes in and
advocates q world peace treaty, and whe-
elected Will promptly do all in their power
to bring about what the world nccds-a
league OF nations. Not n one-man PAPER
but one prepared by the best brains with
eliminated.
But now to the issue. Why not use the
short time before election Ia ringing out In
the ciearest' tones and notes that what we
want is Republican President and Vice
President and cabinet (we've had no cabinet
virtually for years) and Senate and Con-
gress? Our country has been cursed long
enough with maladminIstration under
Wilson G. Co.
Democrats never were worthy OF the, high
trust OF governing our country. Remember
now our loyal citizens poured out their
money" In every loan. 1t was my privilege
to be the wheel horse here in the Union
League In selling bonds. Our true patriots
In the two last loans bought more than
$50, 600. 900 worth. with a hope that they
"
What was done with. the money? Hear
Senator Lodge in his great speeches through
Maine that helped to carry the election.
The records of the War Department. he
said. show that the administ ra tion expeadcd
for artillery during the war 81. lO1. $50. 1872.
And yet General Pershing In his final re-
port states that the only guns OF large
type produced at home and which reached
France before the armistice was signed were
100 seventy-hve-Willime:e guns and twenty
four eisht-inch howitzers.
Also the records Of the War Department
show that the administration expended
81. 051. 600 900 on aircraft. and yet General
Pershing says. I'm aircraft we were en-
tirely dependent upon our allies
Also he says the testimony OF the COM
mittee shows, the War Department had for
, SO In the army 391 900 horses. for which
they purchased more than 1000. 900 sets o.
double harness. enough double harness to
cover over 1000, 900 horses at one time.
Also II purchased 045. 900 saddles. And this
is only hint at the waste OF money by In
competent executives.
Our Colonel ]. Warner Hutchings. who
ras Just returned after a three months in
spection of the war district on the other
side. reports that the waste and loss OF our
material, equipment and other property is
most deplorable. So may we not hope and
pray that our people. may arise In their
majesty. strengthened by the good women
Of our land and dethrone this unfortunate
crowd and overwhelmingly elect Harding
and Coolidge and both houses and once
moro have q sane administration. whom We
can trust as to the peace treaty with the
world. as we'll as to the great, duty Of home
protection, and reconstruction.
The following benediction Is by a man
who has known Senator Harding all his life:

Complains OF Poor Transit Service

To the Editor OF the EveninD Public Ledger:
,Slr-The flght for raise In fare that the

no change for the betterment on the part of

he has pasted them all over his cars In the

cates what tho public has done In paying mis-
company two cents more every time they ge:

show that appreciation Is not through his
placards. but In giving them decent service.
There Is something radically wrong In the
service. I can recall that five years ago. or
