Your Bath Water Is In

the News

DOES IT TURN

TO THE RIGHT

OR LEFT?

FORGET the cares that this day has

brought to you.

Take a tight grip on yourself and

concentrate,

Ready?

NOW

Does your bath water run out in a right-hand or a left-hand spiral?

If you've recovered from that cold shower we'll continue on a matter that is causing some humming and hawing among the scientists.

Members of the British Rugby Football League team, now touring Australasia, have noticed that their bath water swirls down the outlet pipe anti-clockwise,

Some of the players said that in England the motion was clockwise.

They drow learned comment from Dr. Edgar Booth, lecturer in physics at Sydney University,

CIRCULATING ATMOSPHERE

Dr. Booth suggested (Reuter reports) that the direction of the awiri might correspond with that of the earth's atmosphere, which "circulater in opposite directions in the north and south hemispheres."

Sinking deeper into the subject here is the opiniott of Mr. A. HI, Awbery, of the Natural Physics Laboratory at Teddington.

"I don't think the question has ever been investigated scientifically. Probably in most cases the direction of the wiel is purely fortuitous and caused by any slight movement the water may already have find imparted

to it.

But everything else béng equal, the problem resembles that of a pin balanced on its paint. Something must decide the direction in which it will fall. This, in the case of the water, would probably be the air currents set up by the earth's spin.

JUST A DECEPTION

"Actually these currents do not move in opposite directions in the north and south hemispheres. They only appear to do so. It is as if you looked at the movemest of a watch hated from above or from below.

"The bath water in fact swirls in the same direction in Melbourne an in London (provided it is nat disturbed arbitrarily), but we are looking at it from different points in relation to the earth's aris, "The principle involved is an important en of great practical application for it is that on which a large part of the science of meteorology is based.

"The cyclones and anti-cyclones of the weather ex perts are really air currents behaving exactly as your bath

water belaves."

So now you know.

Voting control is by the articles of association in the hands of the British shareholders.

If, the deal goes through Loews will control 25 per cent. of the Gaumont- British shares and Twentieth Century- Fox (through their interest in Metro politan and Bradford Trust, the hold- Ing company which controls Gaumont- British) 49 per cent. The Ostrera will retain 20 per cent.

PRECEDENTS ARE OFTEN AWKWARD

THE new Dardanelles treaty was alged in the Montreaux Palace Hotel, instead of in Chillon Castle, near Montreaux, as originally ar range.

The archivist at the castle, search- ing for a precedent, for the ceremony, found that the last treaty signed in the castle was one reached in the thirteenth century between feudal barons.

It resulted in all the signatories being hanged.
