hour he could circle the earth

Of the earth, making A four
hours younger. A claims that

To simplify the data, assume
that the place Of the experiment
Is on the equator, and that the
distance around the earth there
is exactly $4,000 miles, making
the speed Of rotation 1000 miles
per hour. Then Az, travelling
1900 miles per hour, in the same

Then in twenty hours "a" will
have gained 1000 miles on "B"
and in twenty-four hours 1890

hours-that is-in five days
"a" will have gained a full cir

have overtaken "B".

"a" first set out. OF course it

About a dozen representative men
and women of the horde of apart.
ment tenants in this city, gathered
at the home of Mrs. H. c. Brown,
residing in the Pentilly apartments
and tentatively formed what will be
known as the Tenants League of
Washington.
Edward H. Schirmer, connected
with the Senate investigation report
on the rental situation presided
over the meeting and presented to
the members the Senate report No.

pamphlet entitled, Eighteen I1ea-

The business Of the evening re-
suited in the appointing of a COM
mittee headed by Mrs. Brown to
canvass the clubwomen of the city
in preparation for mass meeting
to be held wherever a large enough
hall may be found before October
6, when the Ball Rent act comes
before the Supreme Court. The plan
is to form a solid mass of fighting
