Work for Mathematician.

While putting record ON phon-

struck with the fact that q point on

rs revolutions minute exactly the
same as any point in nearer to the
center.
In other words, while a point two
inches. say, from the center Is going
around certain number Of inches,
Il point on the outer edge Is going
around greatly increased number
of inches in exactly the same time.
Supposn' the disc were Increased

MATRIMONIAL
VICTIMS ARE
SEEKING AID
Married by Letter, Wives
Appealing to Govern
ment to Help Locate
Their Husbands.
tBy International News service)

Washington, August 23.-Un-
happily-wed couples whose matri-
monial ventures were innocently
promoted by Uncle Sam through
the medium of the mails, are mum
dating the Post Office Department
with letters relating their domes-
tic difficulties and asking for gov
ernmental aid, according to Off
cials
The epistles containing the sor-
rowful tales of deserted brides who
embarked upon the good ship Mat
rimony only to run afoul of the
rock OF disillusionment and be left
stranded are turned over to So
licitor Edwards, of the Post Office
Department The letters, Edwards
says, often are pitiful in their
contents They plead for aid from
the Government in locating truant
husbands. They tell of having been
left in destitute circumstances far
from home. Some blame the Postal
Service for their marital woes.
Others demand redress from the
government, holding that they
were wooed entirely through the
mails, which, therefore, made the
Post Office Department entirely
responsible.
An excerpt of one such letter,
which is said by Solicitor Edwards
to be typical of ALL reads as fol-
lows:
81 want TO know if | can start
suit against my husband. We mar
ried through correspondence club
advertised in the newspapers, and
he sent me money by Il Post Office
money order to come and marry
HIM He also courted me by mail.
After the wedding he failed to sup
port and take care of me and final
ly left me altogether. | want to
know if can do anything through
the Post Office Department, as our
business, such as arranging for mar
riage details, was transacted en-
tirely by mail"
Numerous letters of this kind
are received by Solicitor Edwards
each week. He Invariably accords
them a prompt reply, explaining to
the unfortunate wives that the de-
partmeEt deals only with the col
lection, dispatch and distribution
of the mails-not males-.-and has
gentle language written in sealed
envelopes by INSCRIPTIONS lovers
seeking matrimonial alliances.

and also mentioned that he was short

credit him till more prosperous times?
The hard-hearted magistrate refused.
Well said the young man, II got II

agreed and took the beeswax into the
store and weighed It, returning with
the disappointing news that II lacked
a dollar and half of being big enough
to pay the fee.
