LAW OF GRAVITY = : By Garrett P. serviss

Kindly explain the force OF
gravity Also il an aeroplane
went beyond this force, and its
engines were stopped, would it
fall?-H. v. W., Allenville."
GRAVITY is the force that
VI gives weight. It is directed
toward the center of the earth,
and IL there were a large hole
reaching straight down to the
earth's center, a body falling into
it would go to the center-and be.
yond, il the hole continued clear
through the earth. for the momen.
tum gathered by its fall to the
center would carry it UP through
the earth on the opposite side;
and II there were no air. or
other source of resistance in the
hole, the body would rise as high
on that side of the center as it
had fallen on the other.

Newspapers Better !?
Perhaps. Personality Is Lacking

Prof Cooper who teaches journalism says that daily
papers better than they have been in any time during the
past forty years that So is because the public is
better newspaper mirror refecting the public And
the public doesn't like what it in the newspaper should
change its own face, for that's what it sees.
In one respect at least the newspapers not better than

too slight either TO sustain 1t or
to react effectively against the

AS soon as that occurred the
machine would inevitably fall. for
the force of gravity at any height
attainable by such means is but
a trifle less than at the earth's

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO. May (H1.-Wheat and
corn rivalled each other today in re-
gard to active buying and to brisk up
turn of values. forecasts OF 10 per
cent reduction of wheat seeding in
Canada were current. There was fur
ther advice at hand as to lateness OF
corn planting.
Both wheat and corn closed strong,
wheat q cent to 23s cents net higher,
corn at ~ cents to 212 D25s cents ad-
vance, oats unchanged to 3s cent up,
and provisions 2 cents to 40 cents Oft.
An outstanding feature in the wheat
market was news from Alberta pro-
vince, Canada, telling of snow and rain,
causing further delay to seeding. Pre-
dictions also pointed to additional
moisture over spring wheat territory
and winter wheat sections as we'll
Meanwhile, Liverpool quotations scored
a sharp new advance, and there was
a decided falling eff in the volume OF
shipments from Argentina, more than
1000. 900 bushels decrease for the week.
Export business in North American
wheat was again of good proportions,
the total newly purchased wheat for
trans Atlantic shipment being estl-
mated at about 100000. The foreign
demand was emphasized, too, by word
that European countries were COM
planning of unfavorable weather, with
winter wheat growth making only slow
progress and with spring seeding gen
orally behind schedule.
Swings higher for the corn market
gained momentum, especially in the
last part of the day, although May
corn was showing an advance of more
than 10 cents bushel from the recent
low point. Some of the larger specu-
lators we're conspicuous in the buying.
There were reports of a better cash
demand, and weather conditions were
regarded as adverse for field work.
Oats ran into profit taking sales and
failed to follow corn.
Provisions were eased down by in
creases shown in western stocks OF
lard.

SCORE OF ISSUES
REACH new HIGH
ON N. Y. MARKET
Total stock sales 2,140,3O0 shares.
IBy the Associated Press


NEW YORK May -Resump-
ton of the upward movement in to-
days stock market lifted more than a
score of issues to new peak prices for
the year or longer, but the higher quo
tations invited heavy selling for both
accounts. Final quotations were irreg-
ular, numerous net gains of to BIZ
points being interspersed with a
smaller number of losses ranging from
] to S points.
Easy credit conditions continued to
provide a background for the advance.
Hopes of reduction in the per cent
rediscount rate of the New York fed
eral reserve bank again failed to ma
terialize, no change being announced
by directors, who met after the market
closed. Call money held steady at 4
per cent, but the rate was again shaded
in the "outside market" Time money
and commercial paper rates were un-
changed.
Support for the rail shares flattened
out somewhat late in the session. Bal
timore and Ohio common, Southern
Railway preferred and Consolidated
Railways of Cuba preferred attained
new 1927 tops, whereas New Haven,
Missouri Pacific common, Chicago
Great Western preferred and several
others sold down a point or more. Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois common
broke points
Heavy buying took place in several
of the automotive shares. General
Motors duplicated its record high of
1913 and then sold down to 1865 for a
small fractional loss. Mack Trucks
and Hudson Motors reached new maxi
NUNS foD the year at 116 and 1874
respectively. For the third successive
day Gabriel Snubbers registered new
top, touching AZ on buying influenced
by reports of record breaking current
earnings.
u. S. Steel common Jagged behind
the rest of the list at the start but
gathered strength as the session pro-
gressed, closing TX points higher at
1881, or 414 points below the recent
record price. Among many public
utilities and specialties to break
through to new high levels were
Brooklyn Union Gas, Brooklyn Edison,
Detroit Edison, Laclede Gas, General
Electric, r. Fl. Macy, American To-
bacco, National Biscuit, Colorado Fuel,
international Business Machines and
Submarine Boat, but not all gains were
maintained. Armour B and the two
classes of Wilson company common
sank to new lows for the year.
A brisk rally in wheat prices based
on the better export demand and
stimulated by heavy covering in near
month deliveries was the outstanding
failure in today's commodity markets.
The advance in cotton prices was
checked, final quotations running IL to
II points net lower. Coffee and sugar
prices held fairly steady.
