Omaha and Council Bluffs society
people are looking forward with
much interest to the marriage of two
young people of well known families,
which will take place the evening of
April Z at the First Presbyterian
church in Council Bluffs, the Rev.
Frederick W. Evans performing the
ceremony. The, principals are Miss
Esther Spindler, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John J. Spindler, and Mr. Glenn
Wilcox, son of Mrs. j. F. Wilcox.
This marriage marks the culmina
tion of a true love match if ever one
did. Since before their high school
days these young people have been
so entirely devoted to each other that
their friends waited only for the day
to be set. The engagement was for
mally announced last fall, but the
date of the wedding was made known
in an extremely novel way at a lunch
eon given by Mrs. F. J. Schnorr at
her home. After luncheon the host
ess playfully explained that, although
it was too late for the matinee, she
had decided to give the guests programs.-
Each member of the party
was then presented with a clever lit
tle program designed by Miss Ger
trude Tinley, which announced a
"sketch presented by Mr. and Mrs.
John J. Spindler" with Dr. Frederic
V. Evans as stage manager," and all
the other details of the wedding in
terms of the theater program.
Miss ' Elsie Tinley was to . have
been home from Vassar to serve as
ones of the bridesmaids for the wed
ding but sickness intervened, so that
she will have to remain at school
while her chums are enjoying the
wedding festivities. Miss Mary Still
man even had her bridesmaid dress
completed when it was decided that
eh wnuM return tn thff University
of Chicago at the beginning of thel
second semester. This leaves only
four bridesmaids, Misses Marian
Saunders, Gertrude Tinley, Jeannettl
ureensnieids and Angela Shugart,
Mrs. L. L. Winship of Boston, who
was formerly Miss Ruth Spindler, is
expected to arrive today to serve as
her sister's matron of honor. Mr.
Blaine Wilcox will be his brother's
best man. Mr. Tom Besley wilt act
as head usher with Messrs. Bernard
Beno, Henry Jennings, Harold Shu
bert and Eldred Hart for assistants.
Mr. Hart comes from Amea April 5
and will be at home until after the
wedding.
Affairs for the bride-to-be have oc
cupied every spare moment since the
announcement of the wedding date.
Today Miss ' Lorene Hammel and
Miss Lucile McAfee gave a matinee
irty for Miss Spindler and girls of
ler party; Miss Helen Thomas will
give an afternoon affair for her to
morrow at the R. R. Otis home;
Wednesday Miss Gertrude Wheeler
and Miss Elizabeth Konigmacher
are entertaining and Saturday Miss
Edna Mayne will be hostess. Thurs
day and Friday of this week are not
to be Ailed because of the religious
services which will occupy many of
the young people on those days. Next
week the bride is accepting only even
ing affairs. . Monday evening Miss
Jeannette Greenshields and Miss
Marian Saunders are giving an Or
pheura party, Tuesday evening Miss
Gertrude Tinley is having a dinner
and Wednesday evening will- be the
bridal dinner, given by the bride's
parents.

How Resistance
Of Air Affects
Falling Bodies
By GARRETT P. SERVISS.
'I am araatlr Intereated tn what you tar
about gravitation. You My that an aero,
nam will fall alxtaen feat In the firit sec
ond, and will saln thirty-two feet In hla
velocity durlnc every second after the flrat.
Would not there be a difference In the
velocity of a larver or a entailer object of
the eame ahape, or an object of a different
ehape, but of the aame weight, falling In
the air at the same dlatance aa the aero
naut, B.K., Union, 0. C."
Yes. In order that the size and
shape of a falling body should have
no effect whatever upon its increase
of velocity it would be necessary to
remove the air and every other exter
nal source of resistance to the mo
tion. The statement, as ordinarily
made,' that a large and small body
fall with equal velocity neglects the
resistance of the air, whxh is usually
hardly noticeable, but which may be
come conspicuous under certain con
ditions. Suppose, for instance, that you take
two balls of lead of precisely the same
size, shape and weight and drop them
at the same instant. Then the air
resistance will be the same upon each,
and their velocities will be equal at
every point during their fall.
But if you hammer one of the balls
into the form of a thin sheet then, al
though its weight remains eiual to
the weight of the other half, it will
on account of its shape, be more re
tarded by the air, and will fall more
slowly.
Or you might imagine one of the
balls transformed into a hollow
sphere, a sort of leaded soap bubble,
and again you would find that there
was a difference ot velocity, the large
hollow ball being retarded more than
the small solid one of the same
weight. But if you put the two into
a perfect vacuum and let them fall
they would strike the bottom at the
same instant.
The reason is evidently because the
atmospheric resistance has more sur
face to act upon in proportion to the
weight when the falling body is in the
form of a hollow sphere than when it
is a solid ball. But when there is no
atmospheric resistance the size of the
body makes no difference.
As far as the velocity acquired by
falling a given length of time is con
cerned, difference in weight has no
more effect than difference in shape.
A large, heavy body will fall iust as
fast, in free space, as a mere grain of
sand. They would strike the earth's
surface, if the air were removed, with
the same velocity, but the effects they
produced at the point where they
struck would be very dfiferent, be
cause the heavier body would strike
the harder blow.
Many persons appear to be nuzzled
by the fact that, while the velocity
acquired by a falling body is thirty
two feet (in round numbers) per sec
ond, vet it actually falls only sixteen
feet during the first second. . This is
easily understood if you remember
that gravitation is a constant force,
acting instantaneously, so that it is
able to impart the aame velocity oi
thirty-two feet per second to a body
whether that body starts from rest or
is already in motion,
Suppose it starts from rest; then
at the end of one second it will be
falling at the rate of thirty-two feet
per second; in other words, thirty
two feet per second is its velocity at
ine ena ot tne tirst second, while at
the beginning it was aero.
In other words still, its velocity in
the course of the second has increased
from aero to thirty-two feet The
average velocity during the second
has, then, been half the sum of the
initial and final velocities, or half the
sum of nothing and thirty-two, which
sixteen, aneretore, the distance
traveled is sixteen feet
Now consider the second second.
It starts this with a velocity of thirty-two
feet and, in the course of the
second, acquires thirty-two feet The
sura of the initial and final velocities
during the second second is ninety-six
feet, and half of this, forty-eight feet,
represents the average velocity during
inc acconu second, anq, consequently,
ia tne measure oi tne distance fallen
during that second.
Again, to make the luhlert norfortlv
clear, take the third second. The body
aiana inn wun a velocity, ot aixty
four feet and acquires another thirty
two feet during the aeeond. an that
its final velocity is ninety-six feet,
and its average velocity, or the ilia.
tance during the third second, is one
half of sixty-four plus ninety-six, or
cigiiir-ieei,
This is sufficient to show you how
the rules are derived which enable
anyone to calculate the veloritv .
quired by a falling body during any
given number of seconds, and the dis
tance fallen durina- anv one nf thn
seconds, or during all of them to-
getner.
For instance, von aee that In
seconds, the total distance fallen, is
sixteen plus forty-eight plus eighty.
... . B . uiil IS
equal to sixteen, the distance fallm
during the first second, multiplied by
the square of the number of seconds,
which is nine, or 3x3. And this rule
will tell you the distance fallen during
any number of seconds. It is only
necessary to square that number and
multiply bv sixteen. To know what
the velocity will be at the end of any
umber of seconds, multiply the num
ber by thirty-two, since that is the
mount gained in each second.

Tips on Seasonable Fashions
The coat-frock is enjoying excep
tional vogue and a particularly pretty
model suited to a variety of materials
shows fairly wide box plaits either
side of the center front, where big
buttons and buttonholes form the or
thodox fastening.
As to colors, cool greens and emer
ald greens are especially prominent.
Manenta. saffron and French browns
are also .conspicuous on the modish
list A combination of navy blue and
gray is much in evidence for spring
suits. -
Pockets appear sometimes on the
skirts, but invariably on the coats.
Sport skirts, of course, are not com
plete without them. Speaking of sport
skirts, they are most fascinating this
season. Glace cloth is a new material
used for sport skirts and as it is a
dressv fabric it gives .the impression
of elaborateness to an otherwise con
ventional skirt Colored embroidery is
another effective touch.
Accessories that make for stvle and
are the distinctive new notes of the
season's fashions are the fine shirrings
which serve to shape a coat, the nar
row atitchinga that give it finish, and
the odd belts, which it they are not
fastened on the outside are fastened
under the coat and only show when it
is partly open. Outside belts are quite

narrow this season, but those inside
are almost five inches wide.
Sleeves have taken on a new angle
this season. Instead of falling loosely
at the wrist in sling effect, they are
caught into a snug cuff, which may
be broad or narrow, and above which
the sleeve is cut so as to hang in a
deep point an adaptation of the old
bishop sleeve.
Lovely little vest pocket handker
chiefs to carry with spring suits are
made of flesh pink crepe de chine with
double hems of white net. Sport ker
chiefs are much gayer in character
and are of solid color silk with wide
hems set in with hemstitching. Silk
bandanas are gay in yellows and
orange, and they are thrust carelessly
in the sport skirt pocket, one corner
trailing out
For the woman who can be lavish
with her dollars in buying pretty
dress accessories, there is a new slip
over blouse of chartreuse georgette,
embroidered with bold criss-cross de
signs in black and gold silk on. collar,
cuff, pockets and a deep band that
edges the, tunic of the blouse. Be
tween this trimming band and the
shoulder the georgette is laid in tiny
pleats. The collar just overtops the
shoulder at the front, but falls far
down the back.

"DO ANYTHING FOB U. S."
The true spirit of the storied Ama
zons is being shown by Miss Lucile
Johnston, an Omaha young woman,
who declares she wants to do some
of the shooting if there is going to
be a war.
"Will the yeomanettes actually see
service in the war?" she asks of Lieu
tenant Waddell of the navy recruit
ers, who received a letter from her
Monday morning.
"I don't want to enlist unless I can
do some of the shooting. I would do
anything for the United States," Miss
Johnston continues.
"Please urge the person1 who en
lists girls to let us fight if we join.
We want to see service and just be
cause we are girls don't refuse us. I
would as gladly give up my life to
help the country as any man would."
Her letter did not contain her ad
dress, further than "Omaha." It
asked that the lieutenant answer
through the newspapers. She added
that she had been experimenting with
the eyesight and hearing require
ments of the naval recruiting exami
nation. "I can read a three-eighths-inch
tetter at fifteen feet and can hear
whispers at ten feet," she said. "I'm
willing to come to the recruiting sta
tion if you care to enlist me."
The letter was signed "Yours for
Women Soldiers Lucile Johnston."
"We are glad to hear from pa

by way of reply. "But the navy will
