EINSTEIN
RELATIVELY
EXPLAINED
Scientist Holds That Nothing
in Universe Is AbSo-

Science Editor of The Times

OCIeIlcS EulIOT Oh Inc Times
1N4ROFESSOR EINSTEIN named
his theory, the Theory of Rela-
- tivity. 1t means that nothing
In the universe is absolute. Every
thing is relative.
We can only speak of motion in
relation to- objects The motion of
men on earth in relation to the sur
face of the earth; the motion of the
earth relative to the sun; the motion
of sun relative to the stars, and the
motion of the stars in relation to each
other
If no objects existed, Einstein
says, neither time nor space would
exist.
Space and time, Einstein says, are
not absolute and infinite, but finite
and relative and dependent. upon each
other. One could not exist without
the other, he says.
The length of an interval of time,
Einstein says, decreases with the
motion of a body. That means that
If you left the earth on an airplane
travelling 1000 miles a second and
returned to earth in what seemed
half hour by your watch, you would
find that a thousand years or so had
elapsed on earth
AS Einstein phrases it. "As a con.
sequence of its motion, the clock goes
more slowly than when at rest"
Length Varies
Just as time intervals are depend.
ent on motion, Einstein claims that
the length of objects is dependent up
on their motion.
The faster body travels, the
shorter it becomes, according to the
Einstein theory. Thus an arrow tray
cling 100, 600 miles a second would
only be about half as long as the same
arrow at rest.
Einstein says that the laws Of
geometry vary in different parts of the
universe due to gravltauonal forces.
Thus or Mars or Jupiter the relation
of the circumference of a circle to
its diameter would differ from the "a
ito on earth.
Einstein also says that the action
Of gravity is not constant, but vary
ing
Gravity, says Einstein. is not a
force as we usually think Of a force,
but a warping Of space.
Gravity Explained
He explains it this way: II a small
object is laid carefully on the surface

depression in the surface A second
object placed carefully on the water
will now roll down into the depression
A creature on the surface of the water
which could only look to the right or

jects caused the movement OF the sec.
ond one.
In the same way. Einstein says, we
are only aware Of three dimensions.
and consequently imagine a so-called
force Of gravity. A warping of space
into a fourth dimension. says Enistein.
is the real cause OF gravitational ac.
ton.
Einstein explains the shifting OF
the star images on the eclipse plates
in this way. The rays Of light from
the stars are bent In passing by the
sun, he says, because space in the
neighborhood Of the sun is warped into
the fourth dimension.

"Nick" Mahoney
Interested in
Better Roads

In his drive for better roads in the
Borough of Cliffside Park, Nicholas F.
Mahoney, candidate for councilman,
scores the present methods of repair
ing and caring for streets in the bor-
ough.
The custom of placing crushed
stone in holes in the streets which
has been practice for many years
is inadequate and costly according to
Mr.. Mahoney. A slightly more costly
plan which would give these repairs
double life is the solution, Mr.. Ma
honey believes.
In statement issued yesterday Mr..
Mahoney said:
"Only when repair work on the
roads of our borough is backed up by
adequate and systematic maintenance
can any real genuine increase in good
road mileage be secured"

In the Churches
trinity LUTHERAN Church

Services have been held all through
the summer in Trinity Lutheran
Church, Grantwood, with a marked
improvement in attendance over last
summer when it was a new expert
ment undertaken by the new master,
Reverend Mr.. Schwartz and the Sun
day morning attendance has reached
as high as almost sixty.
Now that he has returned, every
thing is beginning. Mems Club Mon
day evening this week, Young Peo-
pies meeting this Friday, and the con-
firmation class beginning next Mon
day, September %.
A new departure in the church ac-
tivities is the beginning of a parish
paper to be issued every month.
Palisadian., 1924-09-19

Pointing as an example to the near
by boroughs of Edgewater, Fort Lee,
Leonia and Ridgefield, Mr.. Mahoney
pointed out that Cliffside Park should
be following similar methods. Use of
tar or similar substance in conjunc-
tion with the crushed stone, would,
in Mr.. Mahoney's opinion, lengthen
the life of the repairs.
Mr.. Mahoney states that the road
beds of the borough are in excellent
condition. He has made an exhaustive
study of road and street conditions
in the Borough of Cliffside Park and
other Bergen county municipalities.
For twelve years Mr.. Mahoney was
connected with local newspapers and
has gained vast volume of expert
ence in local affairs. He is in the real
estate business and consequently is
available at all times. He is World
War Veteran, having served in Com
pany X, 29th Engineers.

Steam Whistle Goes
On Rampage For
Hour AT Dawn
INTERNATIONAL NEWS: REEL

The unbroken wall of steam
shovel whistle wrecked the
placid atmosphere for a half
mile around the fashionable
Cleveland Park section and kept
its residents awake for more
than an hour early today.
Shortly after midnight a flood
of inquiries came over the tele-
phone to Sub-T police station.
The citizens asked where the
fire was, and also why a dis
tress signal was being given.
After searching for the cause
of the noise for about an hour,
Sergeant S. ]. Marks and Police
man Jeremiah Mills located a
steam shovel at Woodley road
and Twenty-ninth street north
west, where excavating work
was under way. It was found
that a valve in the whistle had
become displaced, and the steam
was escaping.
