cided edge in punting, which might
not have happened with Gilbert in

Michigan's passing game carried
little or no deception, quite the
contrary of the previous games in
which Oosterbaan alternated with
Gilbert in hurting the passes.
In running back puntS, Gilbert
also was sadly missed.

'And now there are six men and a

LAND WITHOUT
MOST OF PEOPLE.

WASHINGTON Aug. 90. lP-Ev-
eryone knows about the Armenians.
Like the poor, it would seem, they
always are with us. But where is
Armenia?
Dr.. Fridtjof Nansen, Arctic eX-
plorer, raises the question when he
seeks something for Armenia, rather
than the Armenians. What Armenia
needs, he announces, through the
National Geographic society, is irri-
cation works.
ArmenianS today are to be found
in Greece, France, England, South
America, the United States, Rumania
and the soviet republics in the Cau-
caSuS mountains. Intermittent mas
sacreS and earthquakes for the past
&c years have dispersed them from
Asia Minor to the ends of the earth.
More than 100000 who lived in Tur-
key before the world war have been
scattered to three continents and
scores Of nations.
ParadoXically, however, Armenia,
their native country, is on the map
for the first time in centuries. Po-
litically it IS the Socialist Soviet Re-
public of Armenia" 1t is a small
area, compared. with the Armenia
kingdom at the height of its. power,
and of the millions of Armenians,
Armenia shelters only about 100000
Within it's boundaries are the
ruins of Ami, the historic capital
Erivan, successor to Ami, is the rec
ognized capital Of the soviet unit
Erzerum, the Armenian metropolis,
lies in Turkish territory, but Etcn7
nliadzin, the old residence of the
Gregorian church head bishop is
within the boundary. The Soviet Re
public of Armenia occupying an arid
upland covers an area roughly equaI
to Massachusetts, and Connecticut. !.
A million and half people, the
remnant of the. race, are trying to
exc cut living on its parched, red
soil.
The geographic history of Armenia
supports the idea that what the
country needs most is irrigation So
fertile is the soil that two Armenian
melons, it is said, are camel's load.
Given, water and this upland can
produce grapes, wheat, Indian corn
barley, oats, cotton, rice, tobacco and
nearly all the vegetables and fruits
we know in America
Since there are no forests, the few
trees sand out like individual monu-
ments. And always rising beyond the
sun-baked plains are snow-capped
mountain ranges MT. Ararat, where
the Ark is supposed to have landed,
towers 1000 feet higher than Mt.
Blanc. The new boundary leaves Mt.
Ararat i'll Turkish territory, but the
peak rises SO high that Armenians
can admire their beloved mountain
from beyond the Aras river border.
Most of Armenia's lakes have been
denied her by the new boundary lines.
Lake Van is outside, but Lake Sevan,
near Erivan, is within the republic.

ARIZONA SCENIC.
PHOTO CONTEST.
films JUDGED.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 20-A pop
ular feature of this years "See Ariz''
ona" scenic photo contest is the new
method of judging and classifying
whereby films can be returned to
entrants within a few days after they
have been submitted, rather than
being kept until after final judgment
had been completed, officials OF the
industrial congress reported today in
announcing that the contest is getting,
into full swing. This will enable
amateur photographers in Arizona to
have their best photographs efforts
submitted in the annual competition
without being deprived of the use of
their films during that time.
Chambers of commerce, cooperating
with the Arizona industrial congress,
have received entries in promising
numbers and as the contest draws
closer to its closing dare, September
80, the participating organizations
anticipate quite deluge OF scenic
views from their respective sections.
1t is hoped the number of views sent
in this year will exceed the total OF
943 entries received last year, as each
succeeding contest has brought in a
larger number of pictures that are
thus made available for state wide
and national advertising.
Aside from endeavoring to interest
Arizona people in seeing the innumer-
able attractions found in their oWn
state the main object in conducting
the yearly competition is to gradually
get. together a large and complete
collection of pictures Of practically
III the scenic and industrial sections
of the state. Such collection will
prove valuable help in the national
advertising efforts of each chamber
and of the industrial congress.
Besides the fact that people inter
ested in taking pictures OF their state
are helping in this state advertising
work there are valuable prizes offered
for the four best pictures submitted.
A fund of 500 is made up each year
from which the cash prizes for the
winner are taken. First prize is $50,
second prize is $25, third SIS and
fourth prize $40. The Phoenix
Chamber of Commerce also provides
a beautiful trophy cup which goes
to the first prize winner.

The moons distance from the
earth is about 23S,S40 miles; the
zero between the two bodies is
about 10000 miles from the
centre of the earth. So how can
the earth have any effect on the
moon when the last is about
1880 miles away from the zero
point of the earth's gravita.
tion?-M. L., Bronx"
WHAT you mean by the zero
w point between the earth
and the moon is no doubt the
point at which those two bodies
would each exert the same attrac.
ton upon a particle placed at that
point. The attractive power of
neither the moon nor the earth is
destroyed at that point, but by
pulling upon the same particle
with equal force in exactly oppo-
site directions they would there
counterfeit each Others gravita-
tive effort and the particle would
move neither way.
That Is the interesting point
the dead point" at which Jules
Verne's imaginary projectile ar
rived in the story of a Voyage
from the Earth to The Moon. :"
But it is not situated. as you sup.
pose, at distance of 100 900 miles
from the earth. On the contrary
in the story 1t was placed at
7S.SS4 French leagues, or say
1924 English miles, But that
was calculated for the period
when the moon is in perihelion,
or nearest the earth. At the
moons average distance of 23S,,
$50 miles the dead point would be
about 215.872 miles from the
earth. leaving nearly $4,000. miles
between it and the moon.
Mass and Distance
The cause of the existence of
this point Of balance between the
lunar and terrestrial attractions
is easily explained. Gravitative
attraction is proportional to two
coincident things the amount of
mass in the attracting bodies and
the distance between them. The
earth's mass is 81 times that Of
the moon. so that its inherent
gravitative force Is 81 times
greater than the moons. and at
an equal distance the earth would
pull 81 times more strongly than
the moon.
But--and this is an exceedingly
important but attraction
also depends on the distance, and
varies, lnversely contrary tol the
square of the distance. III the dis.
lance is halved the attraction is
qtladrupled. So. while the little
moon could pull only one pound TO
the earth's 81 pounds on a body
placed half way between them.
yet IL you make the distance nine
times nearer to the moon than to
the earth the moons attraction
will be increased by this sort Of
space leverage the square of y.
or 81 times. thus becoming equal
to that of the earth.
There is another interesting reIa.
ton between the earth and the
moon that grows out of the differ.
ence between their masses. Their

Pick If the average husband
bore an Indian name it would

And the bigger and better and
more successful the husband, the
more he is afraid. A bullying
husband is nearly always a light
weight, doolittle, or a mental,
moral and financial pee-wee.
When a man does anything OF
which his wife might disapprove,
he trembles at the thought of
what she may SAY. Yet nothing
frightens and paralyzes him like
her dead silence!
Men were deceivers ever."
But men do not set out deliber.

the TRUTH
The worst woman on earth will
hesitate TO lie to the man she
loves. But the best of men will
lie to the woman he loves, sooner

1t Is easier to lie to woman
than to tell her that you no
