''Is there certain height
above the earth where there Is
absolutely no arr, and IL so
what is the distance?-J. B."
-FOUR question is one that
has never had a perfectly
definite and conclusive an
swer, and perhaps it never VIII
have such an answer.
There is a so-called mathe-
NAUTICAL limit to the height Of the
atmosphere depending upon the
ratio of the force Of gravity to
the centrifugal force arising from
the earth's rotation. It IL as
eumed that, there being no re.
sisting medium in open space,
the entire atmosphere, whatever
it's height. rotates at the same
angular rate as the solid globe.
That being so, the centrifugal
force action upon the air must In
crease with the height above the
earth's surface.
II the force of gravity remained
unaltered with distance, the at
mosphere at a height above the
earth's center seventeen times as
great as the earth's radius, !. e..
about $4,000 miles, above the
equator, would be freed from the
earth's attraction. This is based
on the fact that at the earth's
surface an increase OF seventeen
fold in the speed Of rotation would
produce a centrifugal force equally
gravity.
Limit Is $1,000 Miles.
But the force, or acceleration.
Of gravity diminishes with dis
lance from the earth's surface,
and when this diminutlon IL
taken into account together with
the simultaneous increase of the
centrifugal force, calculation shows
that the mathematical limit Of
the atmosphere would be 1900
miles from the center Of the
earth.
But we do not know that the
earth's atmosphere extends to any
such height, while, on the other
hand, we do know that one-half of
its entle weight lies below the
level Of three and q half miles,
and seven-eights below the level
Of ten miles.
Still. since It does not come to
an end" sharply at a definite
surface, like body of water, It
might be argued that there Is AN
infinitesimal quantity of air ex-
tending as far as the "mathe-
NAUTICAL limit" This would re.

SPEAK UP, MR., GLASS

Here is a practical question for
Senator Glass of Virginia, who owns
a newspaper at Lynchburg, and who is
supporting Davis and Bryan for Presi-
dent and Vice President. The owners
of the cotton mill at Lynchburg find
themselves financially embarrassed,
and, according TO the News" publish
ed by Glass, this embarrassment is
due to the "unfavorable conditions in
the textile industry" Official trade
reports show that the United States
imported 1OS,OOO,O0O yards of cotton
cloth in the first seven months of the
present year, with valuation of s23,
100000.
Those are the facts; now here is the
question:
Does not Senator Glass think it a
poor policy to advocate the repeal OF
the Republican protective tariff law
on the ground that it's rates are ex
orbitant when we are importing such
a huge amount of foreign cloth and
the owners of the mills in his home
town are suffering from depression
in the cotton industry in this country
That is a plain, direct question
viii Senator Glass answer it?

Practically, coal users will probably

CONSIDER THIS!

Do you want to remove the tariff on
sugar beets?
Do you want the tariff taken off of
wool and sheep hides?
These two items hit the farmers in
this district, as well as the sheepmen
and others.
Two former Democratic postmast-
ers, who happen to be in the news
paper business, one at the south of us
and the other in a city just west Of
here, are loud in their denunciation
of anything being said against the
present congressman in this district.
Pa is a strong man in upholding the
Democratic platform. He swings his
pen at length in defense of the recent
New York platform, adopted accord
ing to reports, after a long and bitter
fight over their standard-bearer Of
something more than 100 ballots.
Even the governor of Colorado, being
so close to some of the engagements

WOODS QUITS POST.
AS ENVOY TO JAPAN
Illness in Family Given as Reason !;
Opposed Policy of
Exclusion.
ASKED BEFORE FOR RELIEF
japanese Officials Express Regret
at Decision.

Cyrus E. Woods, ambassador to
Japan. has handed in his resignation,
1t was learned last night, but there
were no indications up to noon to-
day as to whether it would be ac-
cepted.
Although Ambassador Woods re-
Gently expressed his disapproval of
the Asiatic exclusion provision of
the new immigration bill, in an ad-
dress at Toxic, it was said by his
friends that his decision to retire
was due to the failing health of his
mother-in-law, who was injured in
the earthquake.
Ambassador Woods served as the
American representative in Spain
from 1921 until March, 1923, when
he was tran Sferred to Toxic upon the
resignation of Charles B. Warren,
who subsequently served on the Mex
lean Claims Commission and, last
March, accepted the appointment as
ambassador to that government
The desire of Ambassador Woods to
relinquish his post is believed by of
ficialS here also to be based wholly
upon personal consideration, and to
have no connection with pending i'm
migration legislation in this country.
Resignation Not sudden.
Mr.. Woods first expressed his wish
to be relieved when he was in the
United States some months ago, be-
fore the Japanese exclusion question
came up in Congress. His resignation
has not yet been formally submitted
but he expects to return to the United
States when he can be spared, for the
purpose of personally rendering it.
Recent dispatches from Toxic have
indicated that the health of the am
bassador's mother in law, Mrs. J. A
Marchand, who was injured during
the Toxic earthquake, has not i'm
proved and that her condition has be-
come increasingly precariouS. Mr..
Woods desires to bring her back to
the United States at the earliest pos
Sible moment.
Until the immigration issue devel-
oped. it had been the purpose of the
Washington administration to relieve
the ambassador in accordance with
his request at an early date. 1t was
felt, however, that the delicacy of the
new situation made it unwise to make
an Immediate change. In conse-
quence Mr.. Woods return has been
delayed beyond the time originally
fixed
