Universal Relatively.
Space and Matter Considered as De-

To THE New YoRK HERALD: The LETT

ent naw in EinEtein'a theory impressed
me as fine example OF tho universal
character OF re.ativity. He argues
against the idea of relative motion and
assumes the absolute character or space.
He asks, "Where shall we And a path
way along which space might mover"
Let him conceive the printed letters
OF your editorial page as matter and the
white space around them as space. Now
Is not that space created by the forma-
ton of the print7 Space moves along
the pathway of mattcr--must to be re-
vealed to US. Space at base is the mere
absence OF that type or condition OF
matter which Ks sensible to us.
We only see vacant space In relation
to other spaces that arc occupied, Space
and matter have true re'ation--are
not separate entities except when ada
cent places are contrastlngiy occupied,
one with matter sensible 10 man and one
with matter only revealable through re-
lation or contrast. Space and matter
are conceivable separately because the
degree of density Of various space con-

other matter conditioned space is within
our sense Of perception.
Time plus form plus matter equals
energy Il an enlightening formula ane

Rachel's Debut.
The Name Of the Theatre Recorded
by George William Curtis.

To THE NEW Yona Herald: Mr..
Narcotics memory Is quite at fault In
relation TO the theatre In which Rachel
made her debut In New York. Let me
quote from the writing of a spectator
that night, George william Curtis. the
noted Easy Chair editor:
The first night sho lRachell played
in America the drama was Corneilles
Les Horaces.' 1t was at the old Metro
politan Theatre. on Broadway opposite
Bond street, early IN September 1861,
before the world had returned to town."
The name OF Winter { rden was not
given to the building until September.

on the site OF what was known as Sans
souci-an open air concert garden-a
large theatre. giving II the namo OF
Niblo's Garden. title II retained until
It's demolition In 1895. The name OF
Metropolitan was applied to a building
directly opposite Nlblo's. originally
known as Buckley's Hall.

The Latest Thing In Kicks.

The corybartic customs of the Fills are
bizarre
At least we have heard travellers quite
frankly say they arc,
While the Moros are morose when they
indulge in their head dances.
The Sioux and Seminoles and such have
favored more scalp prances.
IN fact wherever you may so you flnd,
as like as not,
The local dances quite as queer as
shimniy or the trot.
It's like the things you eat and wear.
the things you do and say
'ro you what seems the proper thing. to
others seems outre.
Which loads back TO the point where
from we've wandered quite bit.

inodestest OF tricks
While all OF US enjoyed IL as the latest

Is that the difficulty OF the handling

Beware the False Boom!

In its regular review Of economic
conditions the National City Banl
states unpleasant but hard, cold facts
about needless optimism and prema
ture speculative booms. Only tht
reckless gambler or credulous dupt
will ignore such solid truth as the
following and neither will disregard
it with safety.
'In a society that is essentially
cooperative people are refusing to
cooperate, We have developed q
highly specialized, independent bat
voluntary system of industry so COM
plieated that many persons do not
understand the relations between the
numerous groups who must work
harmoniousiy together to make the
organization effective,
There seems to be nothing to do
but allow the economic forces to work
things out In their own relentless way,
The workers In each industry hayo
the privilege of saying that they
will not come down until every one
else does, ard perhaps not then. No
one has the authority 10 say who
shall come down first or that any
one shall come down. 1t will have
to be settled among themselves.
Meanwhile, however. millions os
men are idle and millions in wages
are being lost. It is 4 pity the
agony must be so long drawn out. a
pity the inevitable adjustments can
not be quickly made with intelli-
gence and spirit"
What the National City Bank thu
says applies to the situation of TIL
present and to the situation of tn
future for rs long a time as tn
things which must be done to set i
right are left undone by hopefu
but deluded people. While thos,
readiustments remain incomplete
whether because labor or capital o.
any other element strives to resis
but can only delay them, there viii
not and cannot be any sound i'm
provement or permanent upturn.
There are always seasonal fiurries
of betterment even in the most des
perate economic situation. There are
cross currents of the moment. There
are the higher and the lower bill
lows as on troubled waters. But ne
real and lasting change will be pos
sible in general production or In gen
cral distribution, In commodity mar
kets or in stock markets, until thu
fundamental conditions are changed
And these fundamental conditions
as the National City Banks review
bluntly warns, must be changed
either by ourselves, all groups co
operating to work them out together
or by the relentless economi
forces"
These are not the voices OF calam
;ty howlers inventing blue ruin an,
exulting in what destroys. They ar
the words of wisdom OF men who Sc
clearly, think straight and have tn
courage to point the course ava,
from the rocks. Beware the falls
prophe. and the spurious boom!

Barring of the MayAower.

With the announcement from Hall
fax that the trustees of the Halifax
Herdld's trophy for an international
race between fishing schooners hal
debarred the Boston schooner from
the race there comes a definite de.
cision that racing machines have nc

Boston on her maiden fishing trip on
April 2S. From the beginning It has
been charged that she was built to
race for the Halifax trophy rather
than as a fisherman. although this

The donor OF the trophy has
meant the flshermans race 10 be a
contest for genuine fishing craft, and
this latest action Of the trustees OF
the trophy indicates that ideal Is to
be maintained.
