Nick, and it will be quite a pleasure
for them to see his grinning face back
at his old haunts at East lake.
Mr.. Stillman takes great pride in his
transformation of the Old Mill, one of
the novelty rides Of the park. The Old
Mill has been completely rebuilt. The
ride has been extended, new scenery
has been installed in the subterranean
passages and the front is indeed a work
of art. Its big wind-m mill and its straw
matched roof give one an intimate
glimpse of old Holland 1t is indeed
one Of the most pleasing bits Of novelty
architecture in Alabama.
Another new feature which has been
installed at East Lake park for this
summer, and one which will doubt
lessly make it a hit with the children,
is the miniature electric scenic railway,
which skirts the eastern end of the lake
on a real scenic ride, and which loops
through what will be the new children's
playground. 1t is the first miniature
electric railway ever brought into the
state of Alabama.
The Whip, ever a scream with the
kids and grownups alike, has been re-
modelled for the seasons grind of 1924,
and will be ready to captivate its share
of the pleasure seekers this afternoon,
when what is predicted to be the parks
biggest crowd will be on hand for the
fun making.
As matter OF fact, every riding
device and every amusement will be
going full. tilt this afternoon, and
special detail of policemen has been or
dered to the park to help keep the traf-
fic clear as the thousands of motor cars
and the autobiography trolley. cars
draw up to the park to- unload their
cargoes of humanity. Traffic officers
who handled the jam with such facility
at Redwood on opening day of the base
ball season will be there today to see
that no traffic accidents occur and that
the turns and One-way street rules are
adhered to.
The entire park has not only been
rebuilt, but it wears new coat of paint
from one end to the other. Glittering
red and immaculate white make up the
color motif, and it is indeed a colorful
spot---a spot in which it looks like
there is life, even before the crowds ar
rive. With the coming of the thou
sands Sunday afternoon the confines of
East Lake park will be a veritable bee
hive.
AS the grown-ups stroll around and
take in the beauties of nature, the lit
tie folks will be making merry on the
children's playground, where a govern
ess has been placed to see that they
enjoy themselves and to see that they
do not stray from the enclosure which
has been prepared especially for their
benefit Young men and their sweet
hearts will stroll through the coy
hooks, sit on the rustic benches, marvel

Although District Attorney Benton

SOMETHING TO ARGUE OVER
Boat Weighs More Going West Than
Fast. Engineers Say

Attention was called recently in a
scientific magazine to the difference i'll
the weight and the displacement of a
shin steaming east and one steaming
west on account of the centrifugal force
acting upon it. A specific example
was cited of an American 1,10O-ton de-
stroyer travelling westward at twenty
five knots and adding 262.S pounds to
her weight. while the same craft speed
ing eastward would subtract 4SO,62S
mounds from her weight.
The Engineer. London. has taken
mains 10 look into the matter and gives
MS some additional facts. 1nasmuch as
n vessel running at twenty-five knots has
a speed of forty-two feet a second, and
MS the peripheral speed of the earth at
the equator is $50 feet second, it IS
clear that in steaming westward, with
the two speeds opposing each other. the
true liner velocity of the ship would be
1878 feet second. while on an east
ward course it would be 1,6O2 feet.
The centrifugal force exerted on a yes
sci of the aforesaid size and speed is
$40 pounds on westward course and
9. 1906 pounds on an eastward journey
indicating difference of 300 pounds
between the two coLditions-Com-
