The Man of 90

me mum ~ OO
Men of affairs give
much thought at the
age of 60, to the bust
ness of putting their es-
tateS in order.
They consider turn
ing their investments
into forms which may
be easily transferred to
their successors.
Some make plans to
turn their business capi-
tai, as far as practica-
bic, into investments.
They withdraw from
active business, believ-
ing it a better policy to
bequeath investments
rather than business re-
SponsibilitieS.
They take pains to
m a k E provision for
safeguarding their es-
tateS to their families.
They wisely believe
that with their ripened
experience, they can
invest more safely than
can inexperienced heirs.
The man of 60 who
is thinking of putting
his estate in order will
find an answer to some
of his perplexities' in the
Equitable Trust Plan"
II has features which
commend it to those
who would remove pit
falls from the path of
those who will inherit
his accumuIationS. In
quire for our booklet,
which describes the |
plan.

 The interferometer was to test this and measure the slowness of light travelling against the ether drift.
 But Merely and Nicholson got no results. The beam of light travelled at identically the same rate of speed. They published the fact. At the great Paris exposition Lord Kelvin, English student told Merely and Miller that the experiment was the one stum- bling block in his theories of ether.
 'I would like to see more delicate instruments used" he said.
 Dr. Miller and Merely had q great '-ether drift interferometer' built IL was used at first in a basement and la ter on the top of a hill. It looks like a toy merry go round It is system of mirrors to guide a beam of light back and forth across two different courses While Merely held note- book and wrote the results Miller fol- lowed the slow turning arms of the interferometer day after day from the time the ma achine was set up in 1903 until 1905. The beam always traVeled at the same speed across and up the ether stream.
 Then Einstein presented the world with his theory.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, March GA scientist who walked 20-foot circle on top of Cleevland hill, day after day, night in and out, 15 years ago, makes the scientific world now talk of
 A universe with four dimensions
 Stars that seem to twinkle in one place and really hang in another sec tion Of the sky.
 Yardsticks that are longer east and west than in lying north and south.
 Light with weight that jars the earth when SunbeamS fall.
 These are bits of the now famous Emstein theory of The Relativity Of Earth motion and Ether notion.
 Einstein. philosopher and matha- metic:an. based his profound yet fan tastic theory upon the Nicholson Merely eXperiement, performed in Cleveland in 1887. Without the more accurate and positive results from the experiment redone by Merely and Dr Dayton Clarence Miller, head of the physics department of the Case School of Applied Science here, Einstein could never have fabricated his doctrine of four dimensional space.
 Dr. Albert A. Nicholson was pro- lessor of physics at the Western Re serve university here in 1887. He was the inventor of marvelously delicate measuring instrument This appa- ratus. the Nicholson interferometer. measured microscopic objects in terms of light waves. That is-a air was so many thousand light waves in thick ness instead of so many hundredths of an inch.
 His friend was Dr. Merely. chemist of the Case school. Merely suggested that the interterometer be used to measure ether-drift. That was the beginning of the Einstein theory.
 Nicholson and Merely built a special interferometer. It was to measure the slip Of the earth through the ether of the space. Ether. science believes. fills all space just as air surrounds the earth. The movement of the earth through ether must. therefore, pro duce an ether wind" That wind must blow opposite the earth's direc ton. Ii is easier to swim across stream than up stream. A beam of

Wife Denied Annulment
OF a Civil Maria &c
Charged Fraud Because Hus
band Did Not Keep Promise
of a Religious Ceremony

In deciding that Mrs. Sarah Watkins
was not entitled to decree of annul-
ment of her marriage to Theodore Wat
kins, Justice Hotchkiss in the Supreme
Court yesterday suggested that an ap-
peal be taken from his decision to
the Appellate Division to settle the
perplexing question. Mrs. Watkins
sued to annul hex marriage alleging
fraud in that her husband failed to
keep his promise of religious cere-
mony after they were united by q civil
marriage.
Justice Hotchkiss said he had once
before decided in a similar case that
the plaintiff was not entitled to an an
nument on the ground of fraud, bu.
that Justice Giegerch and Justice Co.
halan in cases before them had decided
that such action might be brought
"The question has become one of i'm
portance," said Justice Hotchkiss, par
ticularly in this community, as is
shown by the number of actions for
annulment involving this identical
question. 1t should be settled one way
or the other, and earnestly advise ap-
peal from nv decision"

ak instead of pruning shears will be

cut of this promise depends whether
any substantial reduction of the taxes
can be made Obviously nothing is
possible along the line of cutting the
annual appropriation for payment of
interest on Liberty bonds and other
portions of the national debt, nor of
the maintenance of the army and navy.
The Republicans feel that they have
already forced as much of saving
on the army as was possible when
they forced the reduction of the size
of the regular army from $4,000, as
demanded by President Wilson, secre-
tary Baker and General March, to
around 100000. A substantial saving
would have been effected this year if
the law as passed by Congress had been
carried out by the War Department.
While providing under the new army
reorganization bill for regular army
o. 100000 men, Congress appropriated
only sufficient to carry an army of
200, 900 men for the current year The
War Department., however, made O.
