Each second thereafter gravity will accelerate its
velocity by 80 feet per second.
Therefore in the first second it will fall 16 feet.
In the next second will fall 48 feet In the third
second it will fall 80 feet. And on.
ect three second to fall from the roof to the ground
But suppose instead of dropping object, gun
is fired. Suppose further that the gun is in hor-
zontal position How long will it take the bullet to
fall to the ground?
1t will take exactly three seconds.
Surprising as that answer may seem, it is a fact.
Gravity exercises its full effect upon the bullet quite
irrespective of the fact that the bullet is in horizon
tai motion.
That is the reason why gun sights are adjusted
for various ranges. To hit a target, you must al
ways aim above it. That is done to allow for the
drop which gravity will in the fight of the
projectile
Large cannon always aimed into the air at a
high elevation. If that not done the shell
would be pulled to the ground by gravity long be-
fore it ever reached its mark.
The flight of the projecte in that case would be
like that shown as Path in the accompanying dia-
gram
However, if a shell could be fired with sufficient
velocity, it would go right around the earth It's path
would then be that shown as G in the diagram.
A still higher velocity would cause the shell to
go right into open space shown at c.
But one is sufficiently optimistic at the present
time to think that such velocity are possible.
To date, the best any big gun has done is to hurl
projectile about 80 miles.

Suddenly, while he was still at
work celebrating the Medici dead,
the living NIedici were expelled from
Florence by a republican revolt.
Clement VII, the Medicean pope
who had won the papacy after the
brief reigns of Leo and Adrian, bar
gained with the Spanish Emperor
Charles to besiege the rebellious city
and restore the Iedici.

so valiantly as Michelangelo

n JEW YORK Democrats are so

NEW YORK Democrats are so
IN certain that Governor Smith
will be nominated for the presi-
dency that they are beginning to
cast about for some one to succeed
him in the State.
Among others, District Attorney
Joah H. Banton has been men,

He would be a logical choice,

he stands forth as a good example
of the broad-mindedness of New
York politics from the Tammany
end.
His nomination as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor
would go far toward eliminating
the religious issue from Smiths
campaign, especially in the South.
Besides that, Mr.. Banton is we'll
qualified to hold the position.
Eight years of service as the most
important prosecutor in the
United States has shown him to
be a fair and effective official as
we'll as an able executive.

stintingly; and when freedom lost,
and the city surrendered, ne fed
from Florence, fearing the VEN
geance of the Medici.
Not without cause; Fra Benedetto,
who had inspired the Florentines
to resistance, was slowly starved to
death in the Castle of SAINT Angelo
in Rome, by daily reducing his al
lotment of bread and water; exc
cutions were more varied in those
days than now. But Clement
thought it wise to forgive Buon-
arroti, till the tomb of the Medici
should be finished.
Michael went back to work Bit
terly; but his hatred of despotism
spoke out bravely in his bust of
Brutus, so finely masculine a figure
that seeing it, one almost believes
that Caesar deserved his death.

RELIGION No Issue

Governor Smith came on the
stage at a psychological moment.
Ku KluXism had forced the coun-
try into a position where something
heroic was needed to prove its toll
erance.
The Democratic party was tired
of being threatened with split
over the religious issue; the South
was tired Of being classed as mar
row, and the nation at large was
tired of seeing men prosecuted be-
cause of the church they attended.
The very element that set out to
eliminate citizens of Smiths creed
from public Office has done much
to make the way easier for his sue
cess.

Debate Flood Control

In demanding a limit on the to-
tai amount to be expended for flood
control President Coolidge appears
to argue that Congress can make
the Mississippi fit an appropriation.
This is a conclusion which even
laymen would dare to question
Effective flood control is still a
matter Of guess work and Disagree
ment among experts. How then
could a bunch Of lawmakers fix
the cost with any degree of INTEL
ligence or dependability?
The question of whether this
Government should eXpend only
1925, 100000, as the President wants,
would seem to hinge on the more
important question Of what good
job would actually cost.
CONGRESS- is going on the the1f q
that the job should be done rig IS
no matter what it costs, while a.
President is going on the I
that it should cost only sok
whether it is done right q

COOLIDGE Asks limit

Abandoning his demand that
benefiting States bear one-fifth of
the cost of flood control, President
Coolidge now wants them to guar
antee spillWays
What is more important than
that, he wants limit fixed on the
total amount to be expended.
Though carrying an appropriation
of 1925, 100000 he says the present
bill commits the Government to an
outlay of $1,500000,O00.
Sponsors Of the bill declare that
this statement is exaggerated that
they have drawn a reasonable, if
not a perfect, measurs; that what
the country wants is action, and
that further delay would DE in
tolersble.

Speeding Up Justice

Justice Jennings Bailey of the District of Colum-
ba court did everyone service when he picked jury
for the Sinclair trial in little than three hours
We are used to seeing weeks spent in the selection
of jury for "big" Justice Bailey couldn't see
any for such delay he took things into his
hands, reduced objections and questions to minimum,
questioned the veniremen himsef-and filled the box
before the lawyers knew quite what was happening.
It was a splendid bit of work. Would that more
Judges would copy him.

Smith LOGICAL Choice

Governor Smith owes something
to foes as well as friends, and it now
looks as though he might owe even
more.
If Ku Kluxism has revealed him
as the logical champion of tolerance
the Coolidge administration may re-
veal him as the logical champion of
progressive government.
The way effective measures for
farm relief and flood control are
now being threatened justifies SUCH
a conclusion.
If these measures fail Of passage.
no matter for what reason, the
Coolidge administration will be
compelled to assume full RESPONSE
bility and the people Of central and
midwestern States will vote Accord
ingly.

Smith Has an Open Field

The enthusiasm which inspires
New York Democrats to look upon
Governor Smiths nomination as
practically assured is not without
warrant.
He has made not only rapid but
widespread gains since the CAM
paign opened.
Delegates have been instructed
to support him in states where his
candidacy was regarded as almost
hopeless a few months back
His romantic personality and
career, coupled with the fact that
no real leader came out against
him, accounts for this to some ex-
tent, but even so, it leaves nothing
to be explained.

Promises Two VetoeS

Congress and the President have
practically come to a parting of
the ways.
The former has prepared meas
ures providing for flood control and
farm relief which meet with the
approval of a clear, if not an over
whelming majority in both houses.
These measures do not suit the
President, and he threatens to veto
them if they are not modified in
accordance with his wishes.
Whatever one may think of his
attitude from the standpoint Of
craftsmanship it is nothing less
than a political Godsend to the
Democrats.

The British have possessed it since

crate system of tunnels and gun

FOR FLOOD
BILL

The South today stood on the
threshold of a smashing victory In
its long fight to make flood control
nm the Mississippi River "a national
nroblem at national expense.
Onnonents of the Jones-Reid
S325 600 900 flood control bill al
mitted that it would be passed by an
overwhelming majority, and there
was possibility OF President Coolidge
withdrawing his veto threat in re-
turn. for several amendments.
After three days of debate, during
which scores of members took the
floor to PLEAD for Federal control OF
the mighty stream. the House took
the bill up under It's five-minute
rule for amendment. The bill is ex.
pected to reach a final vote late to.
day or tomorrow.
with leaders of the Tammany dele
CATION in the House pledging their
votes for the measure, the Demo
Gratis were almost solidly arrayed
for it.
Representative Frank r. Reid (R.l
of Illinois, chairman of the flood
control committee and leader Of the
fight for the bill. expressed con.
fidence that the measure will be
passed substantially as 1t came from
the Senate.
The compromise plan which may
result in the complete collapse OF The
opposition to the bin was in reality
an acknowledgment of all of the
major claims for the measure, its
hackers asserted.
Under the proposed amendments,
the South would furnish levee rights

in the President and the Govern
ment relieved of an apparent
acknowledgment of 100000, 900
obligation for damages. The Dues
ton of damage would be settled In
the courts.
With these notifications. the bill
still provides for an authorization OF
