BRICKBATS AND FEATHERS In reference to question No. 18 in your August number in reference to the falling of a bag of bricks as against a bag of feathers—I beg to differ. In other words, 1am almost sure that your answer wrong. The bricks will surely come dow first—they would fall at the same speed in a vacuum, but not in the atmosphere. John ‘T. Austin, Hartford, Conn, Physicists assure us that air friction would be negligible on a half-ton weight in so comparatively short a fall, unless the bag was such as to present a auprapertion ately broad surface in one plane. Theoret- ically we must admit that the bricks would reach the ground first, but practically, the difference in time would be so slight as to he imperceptible. iting a permit to drop bags of bricks and feathers from roof.) switc Think Dorothy Hoffman better check up on the switching problem (page 40, September issue) again. f you Pull B up to I, the engine will be between the car and the end of the line and gould not get back to B. I may be wrong. O. M. Steele, Lincoln, Nebr. “Pull” should have been “push,” and the direction would have been: “Push B up on right to 1, ete.” Thanks. 0.0.0-H CAPTAINI Much as I regret to cast the slightest shadow upon Lynn Sumner’s adroit and amusing verse, OH, CAPTAIN, MY CAP TAIN! which appears in your August is- sue, E think Thad better warn you that his’ word for the Mexico-American sour milk concoction does not agree with Mr. Noah Webster’s—nor with the word I pronounced during that historic Adverts: ing Men's Spelling’ Bee. Our word—Noah’s and mine=is jocoque, pronounced ho-ko’ ka; or, jocoqui, pro: iced ho-ko* ke. If your readers are anything like my Spelling Bee's listeners, you're going to get a host of letters about this. (We did—Ed,) I've no idea whether the most irate obj tions will come from residents of Sour- milk, New Jersey, or from southwestern devotees of Hohokus, the wk. Mexican buttermilk, In any case, Lynn Sumner's hohokus made a better final thyme than jocoque would have made. 3 Paul Wing, Riverside, Conn. HAVING WONDERFUL TIME In the September issue of yuvcr, on the you claim that the camp that went to in “Having Won- derful Time,” was Camp KillKare. 1 be: lieve that on closer inspection, you will find it to be—Kamp-Karefree. tephen W.

COVERS AND HATE Tue yvoce has been, all of my life, a sort of friend of the family, f laughter and good cheer with ©: Now that it is the fashion hate Roorevelt,” you seem to delight in cover designs. which while they please those other “haters” are not funny to those who honor and respect and deeply love him. Does that seem so absurd to you? It is stupid to overlook varying opinions. Vadmit that if you indulged in bur- lexque at the expense of Landon or Hoover it would not offend me, but in principle it would be all wrong’ especially if you want to be amusing to the nation!
