LEAD PIPE TO TEST
: E|NSTE|N'S THEORY
Savants to Rig Up Mirrors to
Decide Issue of Relatively
VS.. Gravity.
By Consolidated Press.

BY Consolidated Press.
CHICAGO. August Whether Isaac
Newton or Albert Einstein has
figured out the correct reason why
objects stick to earth, and why the
earth does not get all mixed up with
the rest OF the planets, is now about to
be decided with 1900 feet of lead pipe
in the hands of two University of
Chicago physicists.
Newton, back in the 18th century,
had his curiosity aroused when an
apple dropped from a tree and
what made the apple fan and there
upon, after careful calculation and
observation of stellar bodies, ex-
pounded in 1857 his theory of gravi-
tation- This theory held sway two
centuries, until DIR. Einstein came
along seeking to explode il with a
theory of relativity.
But the explosion is not going un-
challenged. Most scientists still
believe that Newton was right. Now
G. Gale of the University of Chicago
are getting the ground laid for a
thorough test of all that Einstein has
claimed for his largely unintelli-
gfble-to the average personal---very..
At this point the pipe enters. Out
in the open spaces to the south of
Chicago, this 200 feet of lead tubing
is being carefully rIgged up. 1t is
Delng SNAPPED INTO perfect rectangle
1900 feet long and 100 feet wide.
Mirrors are being PLACED in positions
at each turn of the pipe with an eX-
actitude that will assure precisely the
same detection of light from each
When these mirrOred pipes have been
arranged the experiment will get un-
der way.
An arc light is to be installed in the
center of one end of the rectangle
after vacuum has been created in
the heated pipes. It will shoot in
rays of light, detected in opposite di-
rections by mirrors.

cult"
If they do, then Newton was right.
II they do not, then Einstein has the
correct idea.
An observer will be able TO time
and determine even the sli ghtest de-
Walton in the velocity of the beams"
the explanation further has il. If
no difference in the time of the rival
beams is perceived il will be apparent
that light is not affected by the
earth'S rotation; in other words. that
the ether rotateS with the earth.
Generally speaking, proof that the
ether rotateS with the earth will be
considered as contradicting the Elm
stein theory-but from this point the
explanation passes into technical
terms.

Juneau Chamber of Commerce. "The
company desires me to say that
our improvements are based on our
faith in this section of Alaska" he
declared.
Half OF the reconstruction pro-
gram will be completed before the
beginning of next season, Mr.. Shat

daily payroll of $500.

He forecast a good business by
the addition of the box factory.
There is big field in the manu-
