EINSTEIN EXPLAINS
RELATIVELY THEORY
University Professors and Stu

pounds 1t in German.

Prof. Albert Einstein gave the first
public exposition of his theory of rela-
tivity to a selected and scientific Amer
lean audience at the Horace Ma IN
school, Broadway and 10th street. yes
terday afternoon. The lecture. which
was in German. was held under the
auspices Of the department of astrono-
my. mathematics, philosophy and ply
sizes of Columbia University and was at
tended by score of university profess
sors and hundreds of science students.
To a listener lacking scientific back
ground and sufficient gray matter to
rank him in that select circle of those
who are said to understand the theory
in any language-the most interesting
feature OF the lecture was the lecturer
himself. From those who honestly, Or
apparently, or somnoiently followed the
uninterrupted, rhytnmical flow of Ger
man, there was no evidence that Prof.
Icinstein has abandoned the theory
which bears his name. On the contrary,
he referred consistently to a sequence OF
German phrases that smaclSed Of space

who had to struggle although he was
fascinated. Prof Binsteln's gestures
We're more eloquent than many OF his
words. Repeatedly he dramatized his
pursuit or space and revealed his own
mental processes by picking out for
the du!lest OF his audience some point
in space. putting the foTcfinger OF his
right hand firmly upon it and then
sweeping his left hand gracefully out
at one side to prove it's relatively.
On an ample blackboard he drew
few simple lines. an arrow or two and
some letters, and the theory lay skill
fully dissected before a spellbound au-
dience. Some one who stopped to trans
late the gestures and German into
English said that he claimed his theory
was an evolution and not revolution in
the science of dynamics Later. while
explaining how remotely related his
postulates were to some simpler scheme,
he added with a saving sense of humor

its feet once more on the solid ground
Of simpler German. the crowd roared
approval at this humorous concession.

lures, one can enjoy lecture on rela-
tivity almost as fully as II he knew

Half of this big gain took place Atlantic coast fneres owned mostly by companies interested in the Mexican oil industry as producers and exporters and which import 1000, 900 barrels of Mexican oil monthly thus indicating that Mexican oil is mainly responsible for the increase in stocks.
 Stocks in gulf coast reineres increased from 1884, OOO GOO 3O5 900 gallons in the period six ty-ve per cent The increase in this and Atlantic coast divisions much greater than in any other refining ter In California where Mexican oil imports snla the situation reversed stocks decreasing from 218 OO0 900 119 OOO 900 gallons fortyve per cent des bite record output California for 1920 of 105 0O 900 barrels.
