FAMOUS AStEOAAUAAcE @uW "A~SA Van
I'VE are coming to you" says
q letter from Chicago, Ito help us
settle a discussion. Suppose an
adult person of average weight
fell headlong from an airplane,
$4,000 feet from the ground, into
a field, how long would he be
falling? Would he land as he
started head down. or would he
turn during the fall? Does a per-
son falling know that he Is fall
ing?"
CIENCE becomes play in the
school of imagination. So 1t
~ is well worth while to answer
questions like these where the
schoolmaster's ferrule creates
castles in the air which serve to
show the delighted fancy how
real castles are built.
Some misapprehension are
manifest in the first part OF the
question above, but we will begin
by giving an answer to 1t. IN
little over one-half minute after
he fell from his machine at a
height Of $4,000 feet the unfor-
tunate aeronaut would strike the
ground, with a velocity OF nearly
$50 feet per second. l Will give
A. trimmed down rule. or formula,
which will enable any person TO
Calculate for himself how long he
would be in falling from any
height near the earth. (F1fteen
thousand feet is NEAR" compared
with distances in open space The
rule is this: One-fourth or the
square root Of the height in feet
ia equal to the time Of fall in
seconds.
The square root of $4,000 is
about 122.475, which divided by
gives about 3O.62-the number
of seconds in the fall This rule

tion Of gravity being taken as
90 feet instead of 32.17, its true
n,ean value. To find the velocity

Apparently the questloner as,
sumes that a heavy person woulu
fall more rapidly than hgni
one. and that an adult woulo Tan
Mt a different rate than an infant,
because of difference in size. But
in the calculations as mace
above, the weight and size OF the
falling bodies do not enter. IL

mart in the phenomenon on ac-
count of the resistance OF the

in a general answer. Besides, un-
less there was some special re-
sistance, resembling that of
parachute, the time Of fall would
not be much heightened.
Whether a. man starting to
fall head downward would con-
tinue to fall in that way, depends
upon many circumstances which
could only be arbitrarily as
sumed. If his center of gravity
was nearer his head, than his
feet, he would probably retain
the position, especially if the air
was quiet.

ing, but it may be that they
were only conscious Of secondary
effects, such as the rush Of air,
combined with the mental i'm.
preston acquired at the start.
There is a case which has
lately become celebrated because
Einstein made use of it as illus
trative of a part of his relatively
theory, in which the falling man
reported that he had no impress

impression that the ground was
rushing up to hit him. This indi-

WRANGELL SCORES
CYRIL AS bluff
White Army Leader Given
Enthusiastic Welcome by
Nicholas Adherents.
By the Associated Press

BERLIN, December 20. - Alarmed
over Grand Duke Cyril's propaganda
campaign for the Russian throne the
Berlin Russian colony Of supporters
of Grand Duke Nicholas has held a
secret conclave here with Gen. Baron
Wrangel, commander of the anti
Bolshevik army which was interned
in Jugoslavia and Bulgaria after it's
defeat in the Crimea. Gen. Wrangel
came here on summons by the colony
and the conference with him was fol-
lowed by gala banquet at the head
quarters of the Russian monarchists.
1t Is understood that at the con-
clave Gen. Wrangel denounced Grand
Duke Cyrirs Intentions as a bluff"
and that all the participants pledged
loyalty anew to Grand Duke Nicholas.
At the banquet Gen. Wrangel as
serted that his old white" army was
by no means dead, declaring 1t would
continue its organization until the
blot upon Russia's honor placed there
by the Bolshevists had been wiped
out. Other speakers of the evening
were Bishop Tikhon of the Berlin
diocese OF the Greek Russian Church.
representatives OF the Union OF Naval
Officers the invalids' organization.

Emigre Lawyers.
A comnunique issued by the colony
to the German press, which asserts
that the heads of the Russian emigre
societies and Russian anti-Bolshevist
organizations" welcomed Gen. Wran-
gel, is hotly resented by the kerensky
adherents, the ex-premiers friends
also having u flourishing society.
They declare the Wrangel group does
not reflect the real feelings OF the
Russian emigres, representing only
an insignificant fraction of them.

and they will give performances, in

None of them had ever left their
native mountains before and had
never lived at an altitude lower than
$4,000 feet above sea level. Hence
they were deaf for some weeks after
descending TO the Indian plains, and
it was some time before their ears
became used to the heaviness of the
air at the unaccustomed low alti-
tudes.

The devout lama is too dignified
to admit surprise at anything he may

fact they carry inpumerable charms

SEAT ON EXCHANGE
WON BY "EX-GOb"
Becomes Owner of $101 900
Membership in Six Years,
at Age of "a.
By Consolidated Press.

By Consolidated Press
NEW YORK. December 2O.-Six
years ago he was only "gob" In the
Navy at 30 per. Today he is a men,
Der of the New York Stock Exchange,
owner of a seat worth $101.000!
That tells in a few words, in a ro-
mantle way. of the rise of John c.
Hefrernan. aged "a. who appeared on
the floor OF the Exchange for the first
time last Thursday and became ac-
cepted as the youngest member of the
most exclusive-and most expensive
club In the world.
Mr.. Heffernan did not win his seat
on the exchange by making an i'm
rnense sum of money through specu-
latfng in the stock market. He won
IT by faithful attention to the busi-
ness OF the brokerage firm by which
he was employed. Richards, Pell, &
Hume. Within the short span Of a
week he has jumped from the posi-
rion OF q salaried employe to the
role of partner in the firm, sharing
In Its profits. And the profits Of a
big brokerage firm are not small in
these times Of 100000 share days in
the market.
In other periods Of unusual activ-
ity in Wall Street other brokerage
houses have found 1t necessary o in
crease the membership on the floor of
the exchange in order to handle all
their business. But on such occasions
1t usually has been some old and
faithful employe who has been re-
warded by the firm purchasing a seat
for him. In this case II was a very
young employe, and the length OF his
service with this particular firm was
just three years.
Mr.. Heffernan began his career in
Wall Street in 1918 as a clerk in the
brokerage firm of H. \. Whitney &
Sons. In those days he never even
dreamed that one day he would be a
member OF the Stock Exchange. The
thought was stili beyond the range of
his ambition two years later, when
he threw UP his job and Joined the
Navy. The war ended before he had
a chance to become an admiral, but
he was promoted to Quartermaster
before he left the Navy fiat on its
back and returned to his old desk in
"The Street" Three years ago he
changed firms because he thought the
new one offered him a better oppor-
tunity for advancement. 1t probably
would ruin many a young man to be
advanced SO rapidly. bat members of
Wall Street firms are pretty good
judges of men-they have to be.
Many OF the leaders In the financial
district today got their start just
like young Mr.. Heffernan.
