Harold Lloyd and his latest help

which the famous youngsters con-

fresh news pictures, also some
new glimpses Of screen celebrities

There is fresh and wholesome
tang to the laughter that you
draw from a Lloyd comedy, diff
ferent in flavor from all the
others. There may be other wells
of mirth that yield as much, and
as clean, too, but they lack a Ger.

would be a shame to charge
Harold with putting into his films
any such solemn thing as a phi

to manage it most deity.
The theme of the younger son
who gets the best of his brothers
is ancient in folk lore. Lloyd
holds 1t close to the soil by MAX

carries it up to date by applying
the gospel Of self-confidence. He
builds up your sympathy for the
weakling youth in his efforts to
escape from the scorn in which
his sturdy father and brothers
hold him, and startles you into
laughter with the long series of
preposterous strokes of cleverness
and luck by which he wins his
way. There is excitement, action.

At midnight, she will hand him

FAILING BODIES : : By Garrett ?. serv.s

IF one should drop from 0
high building two cannon balls,
or two other similar solids, at
the same moment, one weigh
ing 100 pounds. the other 10
pounds, would they reach the
ground at the same time?--I.
B., New York"
IVES. The weight OF a body
Il does not determine the
velocity with which 1t falls under
the attraction of gravitation. This
seems to many an astonishing
statement. But, the truly aston
ishing thing is that the great
philosopher, Aristotle. did not
recognize its truth. He asserted
that II two different weights of
the same material were let fall
from the same height, the heavier
would reach the ground sooner
Of their weights. This ipse dixit
OF Aristotle was accepted as a
supposed fact, by the learned Cd
world, for almost 1000 years, UNI
til Calico proved its falsity by
dropping cannon balls from the
leaning tower of Pisa and OBJ
serving that, whatever their
weight might be, they all took
the same time in falling to the
bottom.
Philosophers Err
This shows us two things:
First, that the greatest philoso.
pher may make egregious mis-.
takes If he tries to explain nature
by reasoning alone, without first
carefully establishing the facts on
which his reasoning rests by ac-
tual observation and experiment,
and second, that blind following
of mere authority" IL apt TO
lead into the ditch.
The Aristotelians assumed that
Aristotle was infallible, and that
whatever he asserted must be 30,
and their infatuation induced them
at first to ridicule Calico for ven.
turing to dispute Aristotle. But
the facts eventually overthrow
Aristotle's authority on that sub
ject. He was a great thinker,
and 1t Is q pity that he did not
think to try similar experiment
to that of Calico. If he had
done so his reputation would have
stood higher.
But Aristotle's error was a very
popular one. in the sense that he
adopted the view of falling bodies
that would naturally occur to any
body who had not carefully ex-
perimented with them. A hasty
judgment would affirm that q 100.
pound weight ought to fall faster
than q 10-pound one. It looks
logical but It is not factual.
Space, Not Weight
The explanation is that 4 body
that weights 10 times as much as
another contains 10 times as much
matter, and therefore requires 10
times as much force to move It at
the same rate. The true measure
Of gravitation is not the weight
that it irnparts to q stationary
body, but the space through which
It moves, a falling body Is a
unit Of time-usually taken az q
second.
Calico not only found that his
falling cannon balls all reached
the. ground at apparently the
same instant, but by experiment.
ing with objects of various density
and various forms he found that
the falling bodies were all, in
reality, more or less delayed by
air resistance, and when the body
was very light and also widely ex-
tended IN proportion to it's mass,
like q feather tts motion was
