ROOM FOR ARGUMENT.
Boat Weighs More Going West
Than East, ENGINEERS Saw.

From the Compressed Aair Magazine.
Attention was called recently in a
scientific magazine to the difference
in the weight and the displacement
Of ship steaming east and one
steaming west on account Of the CEN
trifugal force acting upon it. A spe-
cific example was cited OF an Ameri-
can 1,100-ton destroyer travelling
westward at % knots and adding
2628 pounds to her weight. while the
same craft sneeding eastward would
subtract 4S0,62s pounds from her
weight.
The Engineer. London, has taken
pains to look into the matter and
gives us some additional facts. Inas-
much as a vessel running at 25 knots
has a speed of ~ feet second, and
as the peripheral speed Of the earth
at the equator Is 1850 feet a second
il is clear that in steaming west
ward, with the two speeds opposing
each other, the true linear velocity
of the ship would be 1,51S feet 4
second, while on an eastward course
it would be 1902 feet. The centri-
fugal force exerted on vessel of
the aforesaid size and speed Is S,4l0
pounds on westward course and
1856 pounds on an eastward journey
Indicating difference of 956
pounds between the two conditions.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, October To-
Secretary Hoover during recent

ion that the short waves allotted to
radio telegraph amateurs, including
their accustomed band between $50
