INTERESTING TALKS
 MADE ID ENGINEERS
White and Fries Speakers at Meeting of Technical Men
 and Engineers

The second 1921 meeting of the Ala bama Technical association was held jointly with the Association of Iron and Steel Electrical Engineers, at the Southern club, following a dinner at the same place on February 23, 1921.
 Two addresses were presented, one by T. H. White, chief electrician of the Chickasaw Shipbuilding company, and a second by MT. J. E. Fries, chief engineer of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company, and both were thoroughly enjoyed by more than 200 m em bers.
 Mir White described in an interest," ing manner the extensive electrical system of the Chickasaw company. Among other things, street railway line and extensive lighting and power circuits have been installed, and many new applications of electrical energy have been made. The uses of cleo tricity in ship construction are con- stantly increasing-not only in the ship yards. but also on board, and the Chickasaw company has one of the foremost plants in the country.
 MT. Whites description of electric rivet heaters, in which rivets are heat ed to the required temperature in 60 seconds time, and the intensive light ing necessary in ship construction were particularly interesting.
 MT. Fries described in his inimitable manner the mysteries of Einstien's Theory of Relativity, and astonished his audience by statements that this theory, which is popularly considered to be of very recent origin, was first brought to his attention in 1905. Also, that an incomplete reference list coy- ering published articles on the theory during portion of the war period comprised 17 closely typed sheets.
 MT. Fries led up to his subject by examples of the inability of mankind of few centuries past to conceive things that are now everyday truths, as for instance the color blue" which was unknown to the ancients and for which they had no word.
 One of the most striking points brought out by MT. Fries was the sending of two ships and a number of scientists by England to the South Seas to observe solar eclipse during the war, in order to prove or disprove Eirstien's theory. Surely, when sup posedlyl more or less soulless govern ment will devote ships, money and men, as greatly needed as all three were in that struggle for the very ex- istence of the nation to pure science ney, Mrs. w. w. Garrett and Mrs. Claude Rogers assisted.
 About 60 members of the federated clubs were the guests.
