DIFFERS WITH EINsTEIN.


To the editor. The Washington Herald:
Prof. Einstein makes the division
OF the universe into Time. Matter
and Space" This is illogical. Mat
ter and space are co-relative. Each
in itself is a three dimensional af-
fair. The correct division is Time,
Matter and Force. Here we have
three eternal propositions wherein
no one of them can be eliminated
without sacrificing the other two.
His theory that space is limited
Is based absolutely on the mistaken
notion that no more than three d.
mensions can exist. Were such
true, then he would be correct.
We can take for example a reversal
position of our universe as seen
in a hollow sphere, one with a
spherical hollow inside. This would
make the actual mass lay in be-
tween two planes (surfaces) that
do not touch each other. This mass
Is uniform in shape consequently
the lines of three dimensional
space must be uniform. They can
be seen as the circumferences Of
three circular planes at right
angles to each other. In infinites
these lines become straight yet re-
turn each one to its starting point.
This appears to be as far as Prof.
Einstein got. But how about the
one real straight line from surface
to surface. This also passes
through the center Of the mass at
right angles to all others. This
line is the only one that proves
space occupation. The first three
only prove space. We typify 1t in
example by the solid object but
forget to prove 1t. The moment
we accept four dimensions many
situations will simplify themselves
Notably solution, for which there
Is no definition. for now that de-
fines, and the power of atomic So
luton, an ether of space.

MANY MANS DISEASES
ARE MAN-MADE,

Many of the diseases that sfflict
man may almost be said 10 be made
by him. says the United States Pub
lie Health Service, for they are
spread almost altogether by his dis
regard OF the simplest rules Of ssni-
tary living.
Typhoid fever, for instance, is
spread by the contamination OF wa
ter. milk, and food by human Nth
which has been run into rivers or
wells or left exposed for flies to
carry to the kitchen or dinine-root.
or which, even more disgustingly,
Is carried to food directly from
soiled hands
Hookworm disease and other in
testinsl diseases are spread. TO some
extent at least. by the States which
allow road-building gangs to work
under conditions which too often
compel them TO scatter pollution TO
be carried by flies TO their own
kitchens or to be ground into the
soil to be picked up by the bare
feet of children. Practically all
hookworm disease is due to soil pol
luton.
Malaria, too. is often spread by
the ignorance and csrelessness with
which mosquito breeding places are
created or disregarded. Borrow
pits. dug to obtain stone for road
work and other needs. and left TO
I'LL with water. furnish homes for
thousands OF wigglers; culverts i'm
properly placed produce pools that
are equally prolific; bitches that are
cloEged and never cleared out are
populsr-and populous; railroad and
other embankments that stop or
check the how Of water create con-
ditions that are ideal - from the
mosquito point Of view. W D.

SCIENTISTS TALK
ON RADIUM.

The humanitarian and the sci

Nine. Curie, who will soon visit
Washington, were explained at q
meeting held yesterday afternoon

Field.
Nine Curie. who has given the
world the radium that is now ef-
fectively curing cancer, has access
TO very little radium and she has
none that she can call her own"
said Or. Robert Able. of the New

the life Of this woman OF science,
who will soon come to America to
receive a gift Of q gram Of radium

HANNA ACCEPTS DEMO-
CRATIC NOMINATION WITH
GREAT RELUCTANCE

Albuquerque, August 10, @ p. M
Judge R. H. Hanna has after three
definite refusals this afternoon and
evening finally agreed to accept the
Democratic nomination for [. ). Sem
ator
His final acceptance was induced
after about 5000 had been pledged
by leaders from various counties. Ber-
nalilo county delegates led by d. X,
B. Sellers pledged 5000, Arthur Selig-
man pledged 5000 for Santa Fe coun-
ty, w B. Walton pledged $500 for
grant county and other counties pledg-
ed from Sl00 to $500 each This over
came one of Judge Hanna's reasons
for refusing the nomination which
was that it would require an expen-
sive campaign and that there were
no funds available for the purpose,
Another OF his reasons was that the
Democratic party having lost the ex-
pected support OF the Morning Jour
nal, had no press support. The pre-
sence of Bronson NJ Cutting during
the closing hours of the convention
probably signifies the support OF the
Santa Fe New Mexican.
The convention has just adjourned
at 9 o'clock, there being about 20 de-
legates at the closing session this ev-
ening, nearly all the Pecos Valley
delegates and those from many other
counties having left during the after
noon

An unknown vandal is reported to
have done considerable damage at the
county school at Atrisco on Friday
night according to the county school
superintendent. A man rode up to
the school house on horseback late
Friday night, while the watchman was
asleep inside. He began to throw
at the windows and broke seven OF
them. but made his getaway before the
watchman could catch him.
This is the second time recently
that vandals have done damage at
the Atrisco school. Several weeks
ago they entered the building, and rob
bed it OF a photograph and other
articles
