Interest.
I'VE know that the earth al
tracts to itself everything port
able on it's surface. Now, since
the sun has far more power OF
gravitation than the earth, and
since it holds in position the
earth itself and all the other
planets, why does not everything
gravitate toward the sum-. a.

BECAUSE the eartn's own at
I'D traction, for bodies on its
surface, greatly exceeds the suns
attraction on those bodies. 1t Is
true that the sun is vastly greater

declines. In fact. much faster than
the distance increase. If the
distance is doubled the force Is
decreased to one-fourth, the law
being that the force varies In
versely as the square of the dis
lance.
Now, consider any object on
the eartln's surface, for instance
your own body. Your weight ex-
presses the force of the earth's
attraction upon YOU and 1t varies
according to the law just stated.
so that If you could go up to
height equal to the radius OF the
earth, or 1000 miles above its
1AaIh1fV-. xynnT dfn.
lance from the earth's center,
your weight would become only
q quarter of what 1t Is when You
are on the surface.
The distance OF the sun is
about 23,250 times the earth's
radius, 4. e., $3.50 times your dis
lance from the center Of the
earth when you are on its surs
face. Consequently its attrac-
ton upon you compared with the
attraction Of the earth Is dimin-
ished by Its great distance In the
inverse ratio of the square OF
23,25O to /, or of about $40, zoo, 900

ton at equal distance would be
100000 times the earth's, we
must divide $40, 000, 900 by $780,
600 to find out what the suns at
traction, as compared with the
earth's, is on q body on the
earth's surface. Making the d.
vision, we find that the suns at
traction in such circumstances
is only one 1.636th Of the earth's.
But only a small fraction even
Of that is effective in tending to
draw you away from the earth
for the reason that the sun at
tracts the whole earth at the
same time. In fact, it is only
what is called the tidal attrac-
ton" of the sun that Is effective
in diminishing your weight, which
you may look upon as tendency
to pull you away from the earth.
In other words, only the differ
ence between the force OF the
suns attraction at the earth's
surface and at the center OF the
earth, 1900 miles farther away,
is effective in counteracting the
earth's attraction upon you.
Calculation shows that this diff
ference amounts to less than one
10000 ,O0ath of the earth's attrac.
ton. SO, with the sun overhead,
the effect of it's. attraction upon
you is to diminish your weight
only one-19 900 ,000th part: This
is less than half the similar
effect produced by the moons
attraction. Remember that these
forces are the Same that produce

 This is altogether wrong, in the view of the Children's Bureau. No child ought to be separated from it's mother because of poverty alone. To prevent that misfortune, there should be provi- sion made out of public funds, to enable needy mothers to retain possession of their young and give them home care.
 Indeed, this plan is already being car ried into effect on an extensive scale. In forty-two states public aid is given to children in their own homes Grants of money to mothers have tended markedly to lessen the number of children in orphanages and in the care of charitable societies.
 At the present time in this country, 127,000 children are thus aided in their own homes; 7o,o00 are placed" an- nually in other peoples homes, and 125,000 are cared for in institutions.
 Much injustice would be done if it were not recognized that many orphan asylums nowadays are excellently man aged. It was altogether otherwise in former times Up to the beginning of the last century the prevailing method of dealing with orphans and other needy children was to consign them to poor houses, poor farms and similar places of incarceration. Those institutions were conducted by officials appointed for po- litical reasons, and their principal claim for continuance in office was based upon a record of economical management The children were half-starved and mis- treated.
 Evils resulting from this system grew so scandalous as to bring about the establishment of private orphanages, en- dowed by philanthropic persons, in order that children in unfortunate circum- stances might be provided for in more humane way.
 Within recent years there has been a great awakening of the public mind in regard to the obligation due to children, and many organizations are even now developing gigantic projects for aiding those in need. One-third of the destitute children in the United States, under the care of public and private agencies, have found foster parents who have taken them into their own homes.
 There are always many people who, for money consideration to help out their incomes, will accept the care of a child. Of course, in such cases it is necessary to ascertain that the family
New Britain herald., 1926-07-07

into which the child is to be introduced IS in all respects fit, else much unhappi ness might result. This plan has beer extensively carried out, and, on tho whole, the idea of the substitute home has proved very successful.
 In any large community there are numerous and constant applications for the removal of children from their homes and their placement elsewhere, to be cared for. These include cases in which parents have died, are in prison or are sick, incompetent, mentally irrespon- sible, immoral, unmarried or in poverty.
 Frequently there is the problem of unmarried parents to be considered. It is often puzzling. Many child-caring or ganizations advocate the separation of the child from the unmarried mother a. soon as possible after the infants birth It Is an idea that shows lack of real humane and sympathetic feeling Why pile one misfortune upon another, ii avoidable?
 In not few cases of course, there is no choice; the mother may even be anxious to get rid of her offspring. But it is the view of the Children's Bureau that, If it can be helped, the child ought not to be taken away from its mother. even though she wears no wedding ring.
 To separate a child from it's mother because of poverty alone is, as already said, utterly wrong. Yet there are a number of organizations in this country which make a common practice of that very thing.
 In other words, the mother is forced to give up her child to a public agency or society, to receive foster care at an expense far greater than would be the cost of providing for it in its own home. if suitable allowance were given to the mother. Some organizations spend in this way, for the support of individual children, the equivalent of the average income of the average American family. It is charity gone mad.
 To secure the welfare of dependent children great deal has already been accomplished. The change in the last half century has been really wonderful What the Children's Bureau is trying to do IS to advance step further, and to place the helpless little boys and girls in all respects on the same footing as other normal children.
 No more "asylums." Give them real homes and normal family life, so that they may be happy and grow up to use. ful citizenship.

a shady lawn, and in the middle of the large area here described is spacious playground.
 Of course, the children must have schooling. But there is no school in the home area. They go to the public school in the nearby town. Thus they are thrown in with the crowd of other boys and girls, and have no feeling that, as orphans, they are in any way segregated or looked upon as different"
 Nobody has any reason to regard them with compassion. They are like any other youngsters. On Sundays they go to church in the town, and thus are

but of individual and exclusive proprie- torship. There should be baseball diamond and swimming pool. It is not proposed to place the orphans in luxurious circumstances, but merely to give them the advantages of home and family life, with surroundings as health ful as possible.
 As already said, great many of the so-called orphans in "asylums" are not parentless. They are dependent chil- dren, in not few instances reduced to that condition by the fathers desertion of his family, The mother may be un- able to support her offspring, and so they

brought still further into contact with outsiders
 The whole idea is to give the orphans normal life. Why not? They are normal children. To shut them up in an asylum" and take them out to walk in doleful line two by two, painstakingly shepherded and disciplined, would be an outrage. How could they be expected to grow up normally, if thus dealt with?
 The idea is believed to be all wrong. For mental or physical detectives, those crippled in mind or body, there must always be institutional care, but surely not for healthy, everyday young folks.
 To illustrate the new and better idea,
