|NFRONT RANK,

They Lead World in Many
Branches, Father of ReIa-
tivity Discovers.
BY international News Service.

BERLIN, Aug. %. - American
scientists lead in the fields of astron-
omy and experimental mineralogy as
well as In certain branches Of expert
mental physics" in the opinion OF
Prof. Albert Einstein, known as the
father Of the doctrine of relatively.
Optimism, energy and ambition are
the qualities Of the American scientist
which are bringing him to the FORE
said DIR. EinsteiA. Furthermore. the
American students. lack the spirit OF
skepticism so predominant In Europe
Prof. Einstein received the cor
respondent in the library of his Berlin
apartment at Haberland- strasse. A
long brass telescope in the corner of
the room. several globes and astronom-
ical instruments were all that dis
tinguished his simple library from that
OF any of his neighbors. His favorite
violin and the piano in the adjoining
room are equally prominent In in
dicating the trend Of his tastes.
Thankful To America
IT want to take this occasion to
tell America how thankful j am for
the hearty support, both in scientific
and in official circles, and the charm
ing hospitality extended to me on
my recent trip to American" said the
discoverer of the theory of relatively.
"Of course, i cannot be held re-
sponsible for statements which APP
peared in the Rotterdamsche Courant
and the Berlinger Tageblatt. They
put assertions into my mouth which
else where there was no criticism. 1t
was very regretable.
American scientific laboratories are
wonderfully well equipped, and
have never seen anything so COM
plete as the laboratory of Milliken
Michaelson in Chicago. One Of the
most striking Impressions / received
Of America is the degree to which
the technical contrivances for every
day comfort are developed; every
thing in the house is practical ard
labor saving; efficiency with a mini
mum of effort and movement. OF
course, this in way represents lux
ury."
University Like Family.
What do you think of American
universities; how do they compare
with the German schools?" the cor
respondent asked.
An American university reminds
one of a large family" replied the
professor. THE relations of the stu.
dents to one another and of the
students to the faculty certainly give
one this complete impression. The
American students do not take much
practical interest in politics in the
aggressive manner of German stu.
dents, but that is perhaps in Ger
many a concomitant of the revolu-
ton.
THE international relations be-
tween the world scientists are i'm
proving, although, of course. the
scars Of the world war have not yet
been effaced. But in both England
and America I found a distinct de-
sire to cooperate with the scientists
of the central powers for the ad.

Owen Wister Plans Internation-
al Story to Better Relation
of Nations.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-After an
absence of eight months. during which
time he was engaged in gathering ma
terial for a new novel along interna-
tional lines, Owen Wister, who is best
known as the author of 1.-THE Virgin
ian." considered the epic of cowboy
stories, returned to the United States
yesterday on the Finland, of the Red
Star Line, from Antwerp, Cherbourg
and Southampton.
Mr.. Wister was particularly inter
ested In a tribute to Americas I'M
known dead and spoke feelingly of the
sad sights he saw while in France. He
passed the greater part of his time
among the French battlefields and
military cemeteries, although he also
visited England and Switzerland.
Commenting on conditions abroad
he said that the Germans are working
hard and are more ufited than either
the English or the French. Prices are
much lower than in this countyr, a
meal costing only IL cents in some of
the restaurants of the Continent.
1t was his second visit to the battle
fields in the last two years, and the
later trip was to investigate more fully
the progress that has been made IN
reconstruction mad rehabilitation by
the French government.
Gets Material For Novel.
During my residence abroad I de-
voted most of my time to gathering
material along international lines for
a new novel, which will soon be pub
lished," he said. THE purpose of the
book will be to foster good relations
between France and ourselves. 1t will
not be along romantic lines. ] spent
four months in France. and though I
did not visit Germany. l met many
who did. They told me that the Ger
mans are working hard and that they
are more united than either the Eng
lish or the French. They are evincing
a very firm. recuperation.
II saw the battlefields OF France
two years ago and mY>--recent trip
there was to see what progress had
been made by the government. They
are undoubtedly the saddest sights
that / witnessed, but next in sadness
were the American cemeteries. Dur
ing my entire visit / did not come
in contact with one person who ad-
vocated the return Of our hero dead
to these shores.
Graves Well Kept.
THE graves are well kept in the
military cemeteries. This is particu.
larly true Of the British graves. Each
one has a headstone with the name
of the soldier lying beneath It, as
well as the name Of his regiment
and his insignia These English
cemeteries are the most beautiful /

Bearded Women in
Paris Increase
Rapidly

PARIS, Aug. 22.--Beards and
mustaches are increasing alarm
ingly among women annually, the
doctors blaming cigarette smoking
and alcohol drinking principally.
Statistics of the hospitals show
IL per cent Of the female inmates
have an abnormal growth Of hair
on their upper lips and chins,
and that 81 per cent of the wo-
men inmates in the insane asy-
lums are bearded and have mus

Beauty doctors assert that a
large percentage Of their clientele
are continually under treatment
to have the roots of superfluous
hair burned out electrically or
otherwise eradicated. A recently

TASK Of FIXING
ANNUAL BUDGET.
Commissioners to Hold Session
With Department Heads on
Appropriations.

The Board of District Commission
ers this afternoon began elaboration
on the appropriations which they will
seek from Congress at the coming SEES
SION. The amount probably will be
about s25,OOO,O 900, which is about ST.
100000 more than sought last year.
and nearly $1,000, 900 more than was
appropriated by Congress.
Commissioner Rudolph, president Of
the board, returned to Washington
Saturday night after several weeks
vacation, and yesterday afternoon was
down al his office clearing his desk Of
the accumulated work, ready for the
appropriation sessions which the
board will have with the heads of the
different municipal departments.
Under the new regulations as pre-.
scribed by General Dawes, director OF
the budget, the Commissioners will
have to have in his hands by Septem-
Der 1 data on the amount OF money
they will request. The full report on
the appropriations will have to be in
the hands of General Dawes on Sep
TENDER Is. In recent years the Com
missioners had until October Is to file
their report.
The increase in the amount to be
asked for in December for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1922, will be
mainly for repairs to streets, sewers,
etc, which have been badly neglected
since the war on account of the high
cost of materials.
Some increases in salaries will also
be asked for, but 1t is believed that
this amount will not be very much on
account of the expressed desire for
economy by this Administration.

Stiff Neckband
Discarded by
Sawyer

The two inch stiff neckband,
which the army has decreed its
officers must wear, does not ap-
peal to Brigadier General Sawyer,

Downing the clothes he wore
as a Marion physician, DR..
Sawyer temporarily has discard
ed his o. d. uniform. He now
wears lower collar and freer
waistband.
Four years in West Point and
service on the border and in
Panama equip an army officer
for enduring two inches of stiff
neckband on a hot summer day.
Likewise~a year or so in France

to submit to the restraining in
fluence of the Sam Browne Belt
