During the recent debate in the United States Benate on a proposal, which was finally defeated for lack of a two-thirds majority, to appropriate, by means of an amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill, $100,000,000 for federal aid to road building, Senator Townsend of Michigan, chairman of theCommitteo on Postoffice and Post $ads, said: "Some of the stains of the Union wise expended federal aid a system of roads, hawine the ulti- m.t.

of a sreneral nlan of Toads. which means service to the public. Many of the states, and those which are now insisting upon this appropri- money nas nrnn npeoucu evidently was the greatest political influence; it has been divided pro rata among the counties of states, and those counties in many cases have expended the money on little strips of road, beginning nowhere and ending nowhere. The result has been that much of the money has been wasted worse than wasted." Arkansas is a state that has not laid out and begun the construction of a state Toad system, a system of trunk line highways, built with state and federal and loesl money, and designed to connset every county sest. Although Senator Townsend opposed the $100,000,000 "rider," he wanted it understood that he is strongly in -favor of federal participation in road construction because he feels that roads which serve an interstate purpose, which purpose is in importance every year, and "the future of which no man can "now predict, should be constructed." Senator Townsend said also that highway commissioners from various states, who had testified before the Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads, had complained that some states had expended their road money "in driblets, here and there, without "any general when they ought to have spent their money on main roads and allowed the counties and their smaller divisions to build the lesser roads.

Senator Simmons said the idea of the new North Carolina highway legislation was to build great highways through and across the state, with the idea of making them state roads, devoted to serving the people of the whole state, and not particular localities. The Arkansas legislature has now passed a bill under which 70 per cent of the motor vehicle revenue will go to the counties and 30 per cent to the Highway Department. The best course would be to use all the motor revenue for the building of the trunk line roads of a state system of high ways such as the system recommended for this state by the federal Bureau of Public Roads, which recently sent two representatives here. During the debate in the Senate Senator Townsend said that it is part of the program for the Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads, at the beginning of the next session of Gravity By Oerrett T. terries, All athletics partake of the nature of play.

This, of course, it as true of mental a of physical exercises. The value of the element or play lies ia its power to interest the imagination, and it is to an unconscious recognition of this fact that we owe the invention and eadleaa popularity of conundrum, eaigaas, pussies, paradoxes and Utopian problems of all kinds. There is ons of these fas tea Us favorites that tnrns Bp in my corre spondence very frequently, and I must confess that wnenaver I see it, its appeal is as irresistible as that of a sight of the old schoolyard where I once took practical lesion in the mechanics of bats and baits. Her it comes again with a bracing compliment: "Your explanations are so clear and yet so simple that I would like to ask 'you a if it is in place. Suppose an object to drop through an imaginary hole bored through our lobe; according to the law of gravi tation, wouia rne oojeci stop nt.

me center or would it keep until reached the other mdet" Let me first answer the question the spirit and meaning with which it is asked snd afterward. deal with the fog of quibbles in which it might be involved. The object would fall with con tinually increasing speed to the center, where its velocity would be at maximum. It would then ascend en the other side with continually do-creasing velocity until it reached the surface, where the velocity would be come zero. Than it' would fall back again, and so would oscillate to and fro through the earth like a pendulum bob pursuing a straight instead of a curved track.

Now, to avoid all quibbling, let us see the conditions under which this answer is correct. The earth Is assumed to be a perfect sphere; it is also assumed to be homeogeneous throughout; the hole is assumed to bo perfectly straight and bored exactly through the center; all air or other obstructive matter is assumed to be removed; it is assumed that no deflec tion is produced bv the rotation or other movements of the globe. If the hole were filled with air the motion of the falling body would be and eventually it would be broueht to rest at the center. If there were irregularities of density in the esrth the body would be drawn aside from a straight line, and a similar effect would be produced if the earth were not spherical. The decrease in the linear velocity of rotation with increase of depth in the earth would cause the body to strike against the side of the hole, for its Inertia would cause its linear velocity to be always in exees of that of the adjacent layers of the eartn.

(Linear velocity here means the distance traveled in unit of time and not the angle turned through.) If the hole were bored from pole to pole through a perfect homogeneous sphere, there would be no such deflection. Returning to the idesl esse yon might a well know what the formula is when with analytical mechanics solves ueh a problem. With it aid vou can calculate for yourself the time that the falling body would require to reach the center of the esrth, and how long you would hsve to wait to see it return to your hsnd, aa gently as a snowflake, after having passed twice through the whole diam eter of the earth. Time of fall to enter equals ths square root of the radius of the earth divided bv n.ultiplied by ono-half "Pi." Don't run awav! Ill explain. The radius of the earth is feet; is 32.2 feet, the speed that gravity adds in every uccea-slve second to hte motion of a falling and is an extremely useful mathematical drudge, absolutely good-natured and tremendously capable, sufficiently representel by tho figures 3.14.

let us set the formula at work. Dividing by WIS gt The square root of this ia 807.56, very closely, which multiplied by onehslf "Pi." or t.57, elves about 1,269, which is the time, of fall to the center, record in seconds. This reduces to 21 minutes right seconds. At tbv. end of tont time, or 42 min.

"While resting in Atlantic City," he recalls. "I observed that the most popular picture postcard was one showing the ocean by moonlight.

Current events and people in the public eye occassionally contribute satisfactory trade names of fabric and color. TheTe were and are Alice blue, Helen pink; French and Belgian blue. And there is the enduring and perennial polka dot.

The dot dates from the last century in a little town in Poland. A Bohemian dancing professor learned a new dance by watching the peasant girls and memorizing their steps. Ho introduced it in Prague In 1835 and called it the polka. Sweeping through Vienna, Paris and England, the danco got to the United States at the time Mr. Polk was running for president, so the legend runs.

The American imagination which was to develop into the advertising genius of the present day caught up the coincidence. Merchants, manufacturers and designers made the most of it. There were polka hats, nolka shoes, polka gloves and Godey's Lady Book announced the polka dot as a design in fabrics for "gentlewomen." The polka dot is still stylish, because, according to Mr. Creang, a design expert, tne dot is founded on a correct principle spots imposed at proper intervals on a contrasting bsekground.

A msn of remarkable ability ia occasionally born of commoa-pmce parents.

Hastta. Washington, March 5.U it a help or a handicap in the pursuit of success snd happiness to have wealth which you have inherited or otherwise obtained without any effort of your own I Most of us would be glad to hazard the handicaps and take the money, if any should come our way.

And yet tha precise effect which unearned money has on a man is a subject much discussed and much differed about. And there is certainly a widespread iuk mm ipw weens two sucn in- stsnees have come to the attention of the public. In one of these young man, Charles Garland, refused to accept a bequest of a quarter of a million dollars. He gave no reason for his refusal, but simply informed the trustees of the estate that he wss not interested in the money and would not take it. Jn the other ease the will of a multimillionaire, Marshall Field, was found to provide thst his grandsons should not have the full use of his estate until each had reached the age of 50 years.

The Field will specifically states that this action is taken to prevent the heirs from "leading uaoless lives of luxury and idleness. Whatever Garland's motive may have been in refusing a fortune, Field's motive in tying his up is thus plainly announced. He believed that inherited wealth will -make a man useless. And the diligent newspaper reader might collect many other instances of rich men who have sought to protect their heirs from the dan gers of wealth, and a few others of men and women who have themselves run away fom wealth. Of course, the general stampede is in the opposite direction, but these instances are significant.

The Ancient Question. Furthermore, the whole question is significant because it brings up that ancient problem as to whether environment or heredity is the determining factor in a man's destiny. In other words, is it true, as we have generally been taught in this country, that if you just get a good education and work hard and inind your P's and Q's you can do almost anything! Or; on the contrary, is it true that your destiny depends largely on the kind of brain you were born with, and that you will get the education and all the rest of the things you need in spite of almost any handicap of mere circumstances. This question has been debated by the millions of words, and yet it has never been anywhere near settled. The reason seems to be that, while there has been much talk, there has heen little investigation.

Our psychologists are just beginning to investigate such practical and vital questions as this. We may expect some real light on the question in the next few years. Alfred Russell Wallace, the friend and follower of Darwin, was one who firmly believed that wealth was a curse to a young man, and that in heritance of wealth should be done away with. Frank Harris is another man of undoubted intelligence who is fond of making the same assertion. But in both cases, it is merely assertion backed up by a little theorizing.

Let some investigator gather all possible instances of young men who have inherited money, let him find out just what each one accomplished, and trace, as far as possible, what e-f feet the money had on their careers. Such a man would be worth listening to, because ho would have some evidence as well as argument to offer. Meantime, it is pretty clear that wc believe what we want to believe. It is comforting to think that we may achieve much if we only get a good education and work hard that these factors are more important than hwed ity. It is also comforting for those of us who have no money to believe that we have thereby escaped a curse, and are happier and more successful than we would have been if we had inherited millions.

A Study of Eoyalty. The nearest thing to a scientific study of the question which we can find is a "book by Frederick Adams Wood3, ou "Heredity and Royalty." Mr. Woods studied, the histories of all the royal families in Kurope with a view to discovering whether in these families chosen because so much informa tion about them can be found ability has been hereditary or not. Hi nlso ts out to discover whether theso fam ilies have tended to degenerate by rea son of their luxurious lives, as they are popularly belisved to do. Here, then, is a real statistical study of the eirect of inherited wealth on a great number of men and women over 3,000 studied individually.

Woods, who is a biologist first and historian only second, reachea the emphatic conclusion that in royal fam ilies, wealth and luxury have not tend ed to produce degeneration. He proves, to bis own satisfaction, that when such families have shown a dc sline In ability or power, it has always been due to hereditary influences. Us- either. The cause usually is an unwise msrrisge. Some prince marries an ob scure woman who is stupid, common place or unhealthy.

The next genera tioa shows the effect of the bad cross. Two or three such marriages and the blood of the royal family, nearly- always of excellent quality to start with, is diluted with weaknesses, which ultimately lead to its downfall. Woods shows that some royal families, like that of Portugal, for example, have produced men of high-capacity for as much as It generations without a break. Then, due to the introduction of inferior blood, this lame line in a few, generations has literally gone to pieces. These conclusions of Woods seem to agree with those the modern scientists ia general.
