BLAKESLEE (Associated Press Science Editor) NEW YORK, April 10.—Two laws of physics, one well known and applying to wind, the other little known and relating to lightn- ing, account for many of the hazards which wreck free airshaps! like the ill-fated Akron. The well known law states that acceleration multiplied by mass will give the forces at work on the frame of one of these ships! when the wind hits it. The other declares that elec- tricity has mass. When applied to lightning, this opens the possi- bility that lightning exercises a hammer-like power of beating on the ship’s ribs. | Physicists regard the wind forces as the more dangerous. What happens is suggested by the} sensation when one suddenly be- comes heavier upon starting up’ This. increase in weight is not an illu-| sion, It is a reality for the man in’ the elevator and for an airship; freely floating in the air. It ex-| plains why wind can break a ship! of con- trol. The rate of acceleration used in! this law of physics is the 32 feet) per second of. a body falling un- der pull of gravitation. If an up- ward current of air drives a diri- gible upward at 64 feet a second, the acceleration is two times that of gravity. Multiply the ship’s mass, which is, her weight, by two and you! have the strain. Momentarily she is a ship twice as heavy, with cor- respondingly increased strain on her frame.

The senate ends its week- end recess at 4 o'clock. The house set Wednesday aft- ernoon for a public hearing on the beer and repeal measures in ac- cession to requests from the churches. An additional bill for a repeal convention was received today. The house unanimously passed a bill moving the date of distri- bution of counties of racing rev- enue from July 1 to April 1. ent of a state board of eugenics with power to super- vise sterilization of mental or phy- sically deficient residents was asked in one bill while two con- gressional redistricting bills among sat for adjustment of delinquent tax matters.
