A Question of Gravity
IN our younger and blessedly innocent d

IN our younger ana DleSSeQly innocent Gays
we fancied that the dish we dropped de-
scended to the floor because that was
down and broke because it was brittle and
we were unlucky.
Later we learned that "down." for us,
meant the direction of the approximate CEN
approximately round-the center Of gravity,
we learned to call the amazing point from
which every direction was up"
This also explained fairly we'll why China
men did not fall OH the under side of the
earth, there being no under" side.
After this, likely enough we puzzled bit
over the Newtonian theory of gravtation,
that the earth attracts all matter alike; and
we saw, perhaps, feather and coin fall
with the same speed in vacuum tube-and
other sections of the theory, about objects
being attracted to each other in proportion to
the mass and distance and so on.
But Mr.. Newton never did tell us just what
gravity was and how 1t pulled and why.
Maybe some OF us have wondered about
that, top, since we grew up. An odd energy
If an energy It was-to which no sub
stance was opaque or insulatory, where all
other energies that We knew about could be
shut off or insulated.
There is no combination of substances
known to science that will shut off the opera
ton Of what we call gravity or the force of
gravitation. And now comes one Professor
T. J. J. See, noted astronomer, and we hear
that recent experiments and calculations tend
to convince him that gravitation is "partic-
ular mode of vibration"
So there has been formulated an electro
dynamic wave theory of gravity" and it may
be reduced to common speech about like this:
: Professor Sees idea is that electro-dynamic
waves emanating from two celestial bodies
say the sun and earth-travel through the
ether and encounter each other always, and
naturally. in opposite directions. The vibra-
lions are progressing in spirals, which, natur-
ally, are twisted in opposite directions. They
interlace like two corkscrews twisted in oppo-
site directions, and the resultant pull tends
to bring the two handles or bodies together,
or at least to keep ttem from flying farther
apart. OF course the closer the bodies are
the stronger the pull.
To be working hypothesis, this would
have to apply to any two bodies or objects,
such as Inc earth and the china dish.
AS we may recall, the dish appeared to be
yanked floorward with al emphasis sufficient
to warrant the conviction that the earth was
larger and stronger IN the dish; yet we now
are taught that in an infinitesimal degree the
earth, weighing six sextillion tons, probably
came up proportionate distance to meet the
falling plate.
II it did, we failed to notice It.

In the short historical lives Of these island
republics, it has been a rare thing for
president to survive his term of office or to
come to his death from natural causes. One
of them was torn to pieces by wild horses.
1t is not unknown for the legations of for
eign powers to be attacked. Revolutions
abound. In the interior, while denials will
be made of it, savagery often comes to light,
and there is no doubt of the survival of
voodooism and it's awful rites. The natives
often are bitterly resentful Of American in
PREVENTION to restore order, but the Ameri-
can governmental policy Is that this coun-
try must be responsible for the good conduct
Of it's smaller and less enlightened island
neighbors not far off the Atlantic coastline.
Cuba was nursed along by the American
government until strong enough to stand
alone In spite of everything that was done
for Cuba, from the time it was freed from
Spanish rule until America withdrew from
the island, there was always a bitterly anti
American party which was not lacking in
demonstrations of its feeling.
The Case of Panama
The case of Panama is another in point.
The American government had a great deal
to do with the successful effort of this little
republic to free itself from Colombia, Of
which country it was formerly a province.
The successful revolution at the beginning
Of this century was the~last Of about fifty
such efforts. America quickly recognized the
new republic, and the rest of the world fol-
America purchased the canal rights which
she had been trying to get from Colombia
for long time. This concession includes
ten-mie strip of land across the Isthmus
bordering the great canal and the right to
fortify the canal. On the other hand she
must defend the cities of Colon and Panama,
at either end of the canal and lying within
the ten-mile strip. These cities are not
American territory, however, a particular
exception having been made Of them.
Naturally American influence is strong in
these cities, particularly in Panama City,
the capital and there, too, strong opposi-
ton to American interference" has develop
ed Forgetting the American responsibility
for Panama being free at all, there have
been outbursts of this feeling from time to
time.
In all Of these troubles the policy has
been to smooth and. calm down the excit-
able natives and discuss the troubles openly
as little as possible. For underlying every
thing else in nearly every one of these cases
is the always troublesome color question
and the fact that arguments avail little or
nothing in bringing races to regard each
other with true fraternal affection.

Concerning Conversation

be good gossip as the first requisite in the
desirable qualities in wife.
The truth, is that men don't like silent
women. They like women who are glib talk
ers because they are too lazy to talk them
selves. In this country at least, men de-
mand that women shall make all Of the con-
versational running.
Wherever you go, you will observe that
the women are doing all Of the entertaining.
1t is the women who have to work like coal
beavers trying to divert the men. 1t is the
women who have to fish around, and dig up
fresh topics Of conversation. 1t is the
women who have to scintillate and be merry,
and keep the man interested.
If the average couple waited for the
man to start something there would be
silence between them Sd thick that you
could cut it with knife. The woman knows
this, and she knows that she has to pay for
her dinner, or her theater ticket, or being
taken to a ball, with her tongue. Therefore,
she wags 1t incessantly and then men &C
cuse hero talking too much!
The nerve Of them!
OF course, the criticism is made that most
of women's talk is as meaningless as the bah
bling Of shallow brook, but even so it is
a pleasant, cheerful sound with which to
live. Nobody would want to listen continual
1y to a profound, and intellectual discourse,
any more than they would want to dwell
with the roar Of Niagara perpetually in their
ears.
Perhaps, after all, silence is one Of the
virtues that is honored more in the breach
than in the observance. We admire it alb
stractly, but concretely we desire chatter,
and if sometimes women talk too much, and
say things that they should not say, there are
also times when silence commits as many
crimes as speech, and is responsible for as
cruel wrongs Homes have been wrecked by
glum and silent women. Regulations have
persisted for lack of a word. Friendships
have been broken up because people were
too proud to ask, or give, a needed explana-
ton. Hearts have been broken for the lack
of word Of affection.
Speech is silver, silence is gold," says the
old proverb. Sometimes, silence is not gold.
It is lead, that brushes all of the brightness
and the sweetness out of life.
Do women talk too much? think not.
And Of this I am sure, that when we come
to die the things that we will regret most,
are not the things we have said, but the
things we have left unsaid-the loving word
we might have spoken, the gratitude we
might have paid, the message of hope and
encouragement that we might have given,
and did not

omen talk too much?


I seem to hear the world arising,
and shout in chorus "They do" And
especially do I distinguish the voices of men
in denunciation of what is popularity suppos-
ed to be women's besetting sin.
Probably, the first accusation that Adam
hurled against Eve after they were evicted
from the Garden of Eden was that she had
gotten them into trouble by talking too
much. Certainly ever since woman's CONVEX
sational ability has been the peg on which
men have hung most of their structures, and
nearly all of their jokes about the fair SEX
When a man wants to be funny, or scathing,
or bitter about women, he says something
about their tongues.
"You say all of your daughters are dumb"
remarks Rip Van Wrinkle to the gnome of
the mountain, my, MY, what wives they
would make!"
From this, and sundry other utterances Of
men, you would think that mans ideal
woman was a grave, quiet, silent woman, a
woman who had little to say, and who left
all the talking to men.
This is far enough from being the case.
However much men may deride women for
talking too much in general, they like the in
dividual woman with whom they have to
deal, to be gay, little chatterbox. No man
looks forward to spending an evening at
home opposite a wife who might be one of
the wax dummies out Of a store window for
all she has to say.
y,
meal with glum, silent lady sitting oppo-
site him at the table, keeping whatever
thoughts she may be thinking and whatever
information she may possess, locked in her
own bosom.
On the contrary, it is the woman with an
inexhaustible supply of small talk who keeps
home life from ever being dull, and while her
husband may poke fun at her, and accuse
her of being self-winding monograph, he
never stops the machine.
Indeed, the kind of wife a man likes is
the one who cannot go down town without
seeing hundred amusing little incidents
that she relates with vivacity; who cannot
go next door without collecting all the gos-
sip Of the neighborhood: who is always full
of news about friends and acquaintances;
who bubbles over with enthusiasm, and who
enlivens the family circle with her chatter
No one can picture a happy home, with a
silent woman in it. A woman who never
chartered, who never talked about her hopes
and plans; who never told the things that
she observed; who never was guilty of using
idle words would be a wet blanket that
would chill any household to the bone.
Indeed, so highly did Stevenson esteem the
chattering women that he put the ability to
