one and the understanding now Is that
a new revision bill will have to be
framed within a year or so.

not" But the fundamental theses of Einstein are

First all motion is relative
Secondly the velocity OF light il independent
OF the velocity OF its source.
The first we can believe as soon understand
what IS meant by it. The second bewiders but
when We know what Einstein is talking about,
have no desire to contradict him.
But when we come to the application of these
principles we find ourselves in deep water. We have

More Truth
Than Poetry
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE
soUARNG THE CAVE MAN.

SOUARING THE CAVE MAN.
When first we read that cave men
took
The largest clubs that they could
carry.
AS they went fOndly forth to look
For ladies whom they meant to
marry,
And with a blow upon the head
Made brief and business-like their
counting.
In sorrow and surprise we said:
That isn't sporting
II savors more Of true romance
According 10 our modern notion.
II every lady has a chance
To test her best young mans de-
votion.
II she perforce must swoon away
What time her dome the club
went 'thud"' on,
The poor thing could not even say.
This is so sudden"
And now a volume comes 20 hand
Which says the old beliefs are
phOny,
And that cave ladies would not
stand
This forcefuI form Of matrimony.
The Maynard lovers never used
Their clubs the female heart 10
soften,
Il was the ladies who abused
This right more often
The cave man had a heart or gold;
He was a kind and loving hubby:
Though auroch sinewed. fierce and
bold.
He held the clubbing wasn't club
by.
We're glad 10 learn he loved his
wife.
