; case of Neptune and Uranus--is
four times greater. We must,
therefore, invert and square it,
giving 1-16, and then multiply
this by 1-1,000, giving 1-16,00G,
which is the fraction represent
ing Jupiter's real pull upon the
earth as compared with the suns.
much smaller ratio than in the
other case.
Now we will interpret the mean
ing Of the figures that we have
obtained. In both cases the planet
pulled upon by another planet is
disturbed in it's orbital motion.
But Jupiter's power to disturb
the earth in this way is, as we
have seen, much less than Nep-
tunes power similarly to disturb
Uranus.
Moreover, the earth is compare
lively very near the sun. and
consequently travels rapidly in it's
orbit, while Neptune and Uranus,
being far from the sun, travel
very slowly. Owing to their re-
naming long in one another's
neighborhood on the same side of
the sun, the effect Of the attrac-
ton between them has far more
time to accumulate in a definite
direction than can occur with
Jupiter and the earth.
The interesting fact is that all
of the planets disturb one another
in their movements. Not one of
them escapes this effect Of uni
versal gravitation, and not one
travels in a perfectly uniform or
bit. In the case Of the earth dis
turbing the moon, as I have
shown in another article, the eff
feet is so powerful, owing to the
nearness Of the two bodies to one
another compared with the dis
lance of the sun, that the moons
path in space weaves in and out,
so to speak, running at one time
between the earth and the sun,
and half month later outside
the earth, the latter being then
between the moon and the sun.

No Trace Found
of Bodies

~ ARIEN, Conn.-Absolutely no
trace of bodies was found
H in the historic old cemetery
on the Boston Post road here,
when an effort was made to re-
move supposed remains of revolu-
tionary soldiers before the post
road was Widened, and the furore
created among patriotic societies
when the proposition first was
preached seems to have been use-
less.
Removing a dozen gravestones
of ancient date, workers found only
a few pieces of metal beneath,
one being a brass hinge. Now it is
believed the bodies were buried
elsewhere and the stones erected
for camouflage purposes in the

WOMEN MUST BE HOME MAKERS.

If women were home-makers there would be
fewer broken homes.
Husbands have right to expect to find buttons on
their clothes, socks darned, the children clean and
neat, and the wife with first thought for home and
family.
1t may be irksome to do the same kind of work day
in and day out, but unless the man girl marries is
able to hire the housework done, she should not think
of marrying if unwilling to do that sort of thing
Men are expected to work harder if married and
make greater efforts to please the boss and thew have
greater desire to hold their jobs after thew marry
Greater responsibility develops a mans initiative
and causes him to feel anxious to have family and
home that is worth while.
Marrying makes boy real if he has the right
sort OF girl for wife, and the right of girl is AS
anxious as he to share the duties which both deem
pleasure for the sake of pure and lovable home life
Poorly cooked meals, sovenly and careless wives
and children and untdy house would drive the best
man to the breaking point

A N-SIZED TASK
TWO YEARS WORK IN OIL IN
VESTIGATION. PEOPLE LOSE
SEVEN MILLIONS.

The United States government has
not yet reached the half way mark in
its investigation Of fraudulent oil spec
ulation in Texas and other parts of
the south and west. 1t probably will
be two years before the last OF the
speculator companies is examined, &C
cording to United States District At

AT least 100000 victims have contrib
uted 100000 to the Golfers of the
takers, it is charged.
Loss in Nine Figures.
With indictments made against 81
Texas operators so far it is consider
ed likely that a postoffice fraud order
will be asked. This order will make it
for suspected companies
to receive any mail All letters for the
companies are marked fraudulent"
and returned.
Although it is still too early in the
to estimate accurate figures
it is known that the loss to. American
people through oil swindles will reach
nine figures.

STATE BOND ISSUE
GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION
WILL ASK LEGISLATURE TO
SUBMIT AMENDMENT.

MACON, Ga.-Unanimous endorse
ment was given the proposed amend
ment to the constitution OF the state
of Georgia, prepared by Attorney
Edgar Watkins, OF Atlanta, and four
representatives of the Georgia Good
Roads Association, providing for a
bond issue in the amount of $70,000,-
900 for permanent roads connecting
each of the one hundred and sixty
county seats of the state, at an adj
journed meeting of the Good Roads
Association held here.
The proposed plan calls for the is
suance of the bonds in FIVE ten mil
lion dollar installments, the sixth in
stailment being for twenty million
dollars. The first issues would be
made in 1925 and the last in 1880.
The amount of bonds issued each
year, however is not fixed in the bill
other than a limitation to such an
amount that the interest thereon, if
computed at the rate OF four and one
half per cent per annum and an an
nual contribution to sinking fund
sufficient, with accumulation comput-
ed at the rate fixed as aforesaid. COM
pounded annually. to retire such in
debtedness in thirty years, would ex-
coed the amount of the motor fuels
tax and the motor vehicle license tax
hereinafter referred to for the preced-
ing year"
The amendments would place a
tax of two cents per gallon on gaso-
line, limiting the tax to be levied on
gas, however, to three cents gallon
in addition to levying a special motor
vehicle tax. A state property tax "suf
fcient to pay the interest on such
debt and to provide an adequate sink
ing fund for the payment OF the prin-
cipal when it becomes due" would al
so be levied, this beines1imited to five
mills on the dollar

CITIZEN IN TESTING.

To assist the cotton farmers along
its line in combating the boil weevil,
the development department of the
Seaboard Air Line has just issued a
circular on an Improved Method" of
fighting the boil weevi1.
No claim is made that the Florida
Plan" is a perfect boil weevi reme-

economical in Florida by both scien-
tific men and farmers on their farms.
In order to test out and demonstrate
this method the Seaboard develop
ment department is carrying on
large number of demonstrations on
growing cotton, using the Florida
plan to control the weevil. These
demonstrations have been located
with farmers along the Seaboard in
Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina
and South Carolina.
The following demonstrations will
be carried on this year in Georgia:

CLERGYMAN LIKES
HIS GLASS OF WINE
SPIRITED DEBATE OVER PRO-
HIBITION AT CONVENTION.
FAVORS REPEAL DRY LAW.

NEW YORK, N. VA spirited
debate over prohibition and its en-
forcement today marked the close of
the annual convention OF the Protes-
tant Episcopal Diocese of New York,
which finally adopted a resolution re-
questing Governor Smith not to sign
the bill which would repeal the pro-
hibition enforcement act.
AS originally submitted by the COM
mittee on miscellaneous business the
resolution opposed signing of the re-
pealer 'In the interest of law and or
der" This phase was stricken out
after one speaker had asserted that
he would not vote for a resolution
which would brand every member of
the Legislature who had voted for the
repeater as not being a supporter OF
law and order.
During the debate one clergyman
asserted he favored repeal of the
state dry law, because under present
conditions persons were compelled to
be hypocrites as far as enforcement
was concerned.

many of whom are at this very con-
vention, and find wine upon their
tables. l like a glass of wine myself
Many persons, including good Epis-
copalians, are busy making their own

After one speaker had deplored the
fact that the question of prohibition
had come before the convention at all
and another had termed prohibition
dismal failure, Bishop Manning ask
ed permission to speak one word. II
would not feel quite content if | should
sit in silence without expressing my
views" he said. 81 stand where l did
last year before this convention. /
said then and l say now that have
never been prohibitionist, but have
always stood for UNFOLDING the law.
1T would be most sad and serious
if this great state of New York should
stand before the people of the land
as inclined to oppose the federal law.
1t would be sadder still if this con-
vention, representing the greatest do
cese of the country, should take that
position. / hope that the governor for
the credit of the state will see fit to
veto this law"
The resolution then was amended
and adopted.

GIVES MILLION DOLLARS IN
CASH. PLANS EXPERT
MENT FARMS.

A gift of $1,000,000 and 10000 acres
of rich timber lands from E. 0. Rob-
inson, capitalist of Fort Thomas, KY,
to be used in the educational, agricul-
tural and economic development of
the mountains of eastern Kentucky,
was announced a few days ago by
Edward C. O'Rear, of Frankfort, pres
ident of the board of trustees of the
newly incorporated E. O.. Robinson
mountain fund.
No Strings" to Gift.
The University of Kentucky, at
Lexington, will take active charge of
the work of development, according
to Judge O'Rear. No strings" are
tied to the gift, he said, and the trus-
tees are at liberty to spend it as they
see fit.
The program, now only in embry-
onic form, calls for development of
the entire mountain section of the
state on scale heretofore undreamed
of. Immediate plans contemplate set
ting aside $4,000 acres as a reforesta-
ton project and the utilization of the
remaining 1000 acres for experiment
station farms.
Sought to Aid Countrymen.
Mr.. Robinson, who was character
lied by Judge O'Rear as man of
great modesty, sought some method
of disposing of the money and lands
whereby the greatest good could be
accomplished and the greatest num-
her of nercOnS helDed
He outlined the information of a
corporation of foremost men of the
state, and the matter of development
of the mountains through the Uni
versity of Kentucky was taken up
with the board of trustees.
