The Einstein Test
COMING SUNS ECLIPSE PROOF OR DISPROOF

II these fail. he does not know
whittier to turn in search Of Veri-
fication.
The three legs are: First. the
deviation Of light passing near the
sun, or other very massive body;
second, certain slight peculiarities
in planetary motion illustrated by
the movement Of the perihelion Of
Mercury, and. third, a shift Of the
lines of the solar spectrum toward
the red end.
One Of these, the last just men,
toned. has never even been estab-
lished, and II remains purely spec
ulative, all observations made to
test 1t having given negative. or
contradictory, results. Verifica-
ton of the first two has been
claimed, but in both cases II is dis
puted. With regard to the motion
Of the perihelion of Mercury, not
only do some astronomers main
tain that other known causes suf-
ficiently account for Il, but II has
been affirmed that Einstein's own
calculations prove inconsistent with
themselves when applied to other
planets. There remains the first
leg, viz, the deviation Of light in a
powerful gravitational field like
that Of the sun.
It has been stoutly maintained
that the photographs taken during
a preceding eclipse, in 1919. proved
the validity OF Einstein's claim.
But on that occasion some photo
graphs which gave directly con-
trary evidence were arbitrarily re-
lAa0 ,ala 0thln
grounds, and this has remained n
bone Of contention, which, II Is
hoped, may be removed by the re-
suit Of the observations to be made
at the coming eclipse. II, on the
other hand, the results on this oc.
casion are definitely opposed to the
Einstein theory. a possibly fatal
blow will be dealt to II, at least in
the minds Of all except those who
hold It on the ground of pure
mathematical theory, scorning all
physical bases, or limitations.
1t should not be supposed that
the deviation OF a light ray pass
ing close to the sun Is something
that cannot be explained EXCEPT
upon Einstein's theory. So far
is this from being true that New
tons theory of gravitation per.
fectly accounts for the phenome-
non, except that It makes the
amount of the deviation just half
as much as Einstein's theory calls
for. Now, II is at least singular
that some of the photographs
taken at the former eclipse, but
rejected, showed a deviation &C.
oordant with Newton's instead of
with Einstein's theory.

By Garrett p. Serviss,

HN September 81 a total eclipse
of the sun will be visible
" along a "shadow-path," over
a hundred miles in average width,
and running from the northeastern
corner Of Africa, south Of the Red
sea, across the Indian ocean and
the continent Of Australia to
point in the Pacific ocean north OF
New Zealand. The eclipse will not
be visible on our side Of the globe
because that side happens to be
turned away from the sun during
the time that the moon is exactly
between II and the earth.
This eclipse possesses extraord-
mary interest for the reason
that during it's period of totality,
which is unusually long, amount
ing to more than five minutes at
some of the places along the
shadow-path where observers will
be stationed. photographs will be
made for the special purpose Of
testing decisively the claim that
the DETECTION Of the light Of a star
passing close to the sun accords
exactly with the Einstein theory Ct
relativity and thus serves as a
theory.
While Einstein's theory meets
with enthusiastic acceptance from
many mathematicians on purely
mathematical grounds, 1t has been,
IL not absolutely rejected, at least
seriously questioned by many
astronomers and physicists. The
theory itself is not capable Of state
ment except in terms Of mathe-
matics and by disregarding the
most evident realities Of the
sensual world. How far II lies
from the actualities Of human
experience is strikingly indicated
by the fact that some Of it's most
conspicuous advocates have seri-
ously drawn upon the amusing
utilities OF the extravaganza called
Alice in Wonderland" for illustra.
tions Of the kind of world, or uni
verse, in which, II we accept.
Einstein's ideas, we must regard
ourselves as living.
Now, the relatively Of motion In
itself is nothing new, and nobody
ever thought OF disputing It. II
was not discovered by Einstein,
starting point for his mathematical
speculations. The peculiarity of
his thsory-and what may prove
to be It's fatal weakness-is that II
seems to be practically unprovable
by any verifiable facts in the do-
main OF physics. Einstein himself
has admitted that Il has only three
material legs to stand on, and that

smiled encouragingly.
Girl. you have entirely the
wrong attitude toward yourself.
That's the whole trouble; you
think you're a failure and the
consequence is that you succeed in
being a pretty good imitation.
Get this into your head and
keep 1t there-you're young and
you're attractive and there's alb
solutely no reason why men
shouldn't like you. Stop think
ing they don't, take II for granted
that they do and always remem-
Der that it's in your own hands.
As a man thinketh so is he. That's
absolutely true, so think you're
popular for a while just for q
change and see what happens. Go
to dances and il you don't get as
many partners as other girls at
first, don't worry about 1t, think
how lucky you are to have that
many, and by and by you'll get
more. Try It, face 1t. The trouble
with all girls in your condition is
that they shy away from every
thing. Now. go home and try to
change your viewpoint-that's all
you need"
After she had left, DIR. Westray
sat for a moment deep in thought.
There was something SO pathetic
about Marjorie Cox's case, yet II
was like hundreds Of others he
knew. Some little thing gene
wrong in early childhood, to crop
out later in one form or another.
Some of his patients made such
an immense success of themselves
after being put on the right track.
while others failed either because
they were incredulous or else be-
cause they would not persevere.
But Marjorie Cox was not that
kind. She would succeed; there
was a peculiar determination about
her that spoke well for the fight.
And she was young. not yet TWEEN
ty-two-early in the game she had
realized where she was drifting.
And while he sat in his office
musing, his patient was walking
down the street with a new buoy
ancy in her step. "As a man
thinketh," she kept quoting to her
self. Then, as a woman thinketh,
too: as think. But isn't Dr.
westray a darling! II the folks
knew ia been there. Whee"
There was a little thrill about
having a secret from them.
That evening Marjorie's married
sister Annette was giving a dinner
party.
This is where the new Marjorie
makes her debut" she hummed as
she slipped into an evening dress
and turned around and around in
front of the mirror. This is the
most becoming dress / ever had,

HYGIENE OF
THE FEET
BY Brice Belden, Md

by Br1ce belden, M.D.-
" HE weight Of four footed ami
mails is divided quite evenly
and therefore there Is but
little strain on the feet. On the
other hand, mans upright posi-.
ton places the whole weight OF
the body on the feet, which
means an undue degree OF strain,
more especially at the ankle and
instep.
When this strain is added to
by reason OF increased weight or
by reason of a weakening OF the
muscles due to illness or debility,
the likelihood Of the feet giving
out is much greater.
Normally, there is a well marx
ed arch under the instep, giving
springiness to the step. The
breaking down of this arch
causes injury to the nerves and
blood vessels underneath. Pains
as far up as the back conse-
auently arise, owing to the strain
on muscles, interference with cir
culation, and traction and pres
sure on nerves.
Some Of the cases reach mere
" the stage Of what is known
as weak foot, while others reach
that of flat foot.
Exercise of the muscles in
volved. II started early enough,
will correct the condition. But
the twenty six bones of the foot,
held In place by numerous hga-
ments and muscles, cannot be
properly exercised II the shoes
are too narrow or too pointed.
II such shoes are worn, the feet
can neither be kept in a healthy
condition nor weakness or flat
ness corrected.
A good shoe should be every
where as wide as the sole Of the
foot, and wide enough in front
to permit free movements Of the
toes.
The inner edge must be
straight, so that a line drawn
backward from the middle of the
great toe touches the heel. Heels
must be low and broad. Soles
and uppers should be flexible,
so as to permit free bending Of
the foot.

Stories of Famous

"THEN Themistocles led an
" army of his countrymen
w against their barbarian
neighbors. he beheld two cocks en-
gaging in furious combat. The
spectacle was not lost upon him;
he made his forces halt and thus
addressed them:
These cocks, my gallant sol
diers, are not fighting for their
country, their paternal gods, nor
do they endure this for the monu-
ments of their ancestors. for their
offspring. or for the sake of glory
in the cause of liberty; the only
motive Is, that the one is heroic
ally resolved not to yield to the
other" This impressive harangue
rekindled their valor and led them
to conquest.
After their decisive victories
over the Persians, the Athenians
decreed, by law, that one day
should be set apart in every year
