GREAT WELCOME TO THE EIGHT

When the boys come home they
should be given such a welcome that
would make them feel proud of what
they have contributed to the war
Chicago can do it. She has perhaps a
greater number of distinguished Ne
groes than can be found in any other
large city, many of whom are vastly
rich in the world Is goods, and can
afford TO contribute largely of such
of their means as will cause no mist
axe in such welcome, many of them
are eloquent speakers, who from the
oratorieal point of view can inspire
and stimulate the race for the great
sacrifice made, numbers are able writ
srs, and many, should they wish to
do so, give the matter engrossing and
extensive publicity. For certainly
the beys of the Eighth, that come
back ought to be given the most rou-
sing welcome every put over in this,
their home town, for the Negro with
a gun has never brought his country

Italian Scientist
Attacks NeWtOn'S
GrdUitGtiOn Theory

ROME, Oct. 27-Newton's theory Of
gr~dvitatiOn has been attacked by Prof.
Maiorana, who. speaking before a meet
ing Of prominent scientists here today,
declared the results OF experiments he
had performed upset the hitherto ac-
cepted laws Of physics governing the
motions of celestial bodies.
Newton's theory, while hitherto con-
5idered absolute, Is only an approximate
hypothesis, according TO Prof. Miorana,
who supports this assertion by showing
that a ball OF lead floating In mercury
becomes slightly lighter. From this the
professor deduces four things:
First, that bodies have both a true
and an apparent mass. the true mass Of
the sun being double the apparent mass,
Second, that the stars attract other
bodies with forces entirely different
from those thus far admitted to exist,
Third, that the solar heat of stars is
generated by the force OF gravitation
emanating from interior strata, From
this, h6 argues, the solar system has
had an Immensely longer life than has
been believed by scientists up until the
present.
Fourth, that the evolution of the
world has been closely linked to the
phenomenon which he has discovered.
Prof. Maiorana explains by this means
the fact that all stars are more or less
luminous and claims that his theory
will bring about a revolution in astTo-
physical science.

DR.. WILLIAMSON BACH
FROM CINCINNATI TRIP

Bringing with him some extremely
intremely interesting data on one Of the
most interesting social welfare expe-

hanson returned to Memphis Sunday
morning from Cincinnati, wheer he at
tended the National Social Unit aSso-
citation conference as a representative
of the social agencies Endorsement COM
mittee Of the Chamber of Commerce.
The experiment has to do with trying
out the block system Of social welfare
work, |. O., the division OF a certain dis
trlct into blocks. in which may be 500
persons. with one expert social worker
at the head. This plan vas expected
to permit the social workers to have
more intimate acquaintance with the
people among whom she worked and
enabled her to guide them more surely
In curing any social Ills hat might af-
fict them. and promoting that spirit of
neighborliness and good fellowship de-
slrable In every community of people.
Reports made at the Cincinnati meet
ing after three years OF experiment In
a district OF 81 blocks showed that the
plan had worked with entire success,
and that much more had been accom-
pllshed by the block system Of social
betterment than by the usual system
OF social welfare, which handles a city
as a whole.
DIR. Williamson will make a report
at the next meeting of the social
agencies Endorsement committee.
