ing disregard among automobile
drivers of this law.
Take Fourteenth and N streets

will find there are people who
drive their cars on Fourteenth

stop in the rear Of street cars.
A great many people have been
killed in Washington since Jan.
uary 1, 1924, and a great many Of
these people would have been liv-
ing today II 1t were not for the
reckless manner in which auto
mobiles are driven. There should
be mounted policemen stationed
or assigned to duty on Fourteenth
street northwest. A policeman
on foot is all right for certain
kinds Of duties, but of no use in
chasing violators of the traffic
laws. In the vicinity Of Thir-

avenue northwest Is another bad
place. The machines race up and

four-wheel brake should help in
the saving Of life.
In the mornings on Fourteenth
street, in the vicinity of N street,
that street takes on the form Of
a speed track. and If you want
to take a street car you have the
time Of your life getting on, on
account Of the machines that
race up and down the street;
they pay no attention to people
who wish to board the street cars
and would run over them IL they
did not jump out of their way.
There may be some people in
this city who do a little jay walk

dred operators Of automobiles
who break the traffic law almost
at every turn. Cutting corners
seems to be a great hobby here
in Washington. II a policeman
was stationed on Fourteenth
street northwest at almost any
point. but better still station him
at Fourteenth and N streets,
where there is a car stop, have
him mounted so that he may
give chase, and see to It that
every operator Of as automobile
who violates the traffic law in
regard to street cars is arrested.

HI DIMENSION = By GARRETT P. SERVISS

"Would you please captain to
me qUhGt is meant by "the fourth
dimensiOm?J. F."
NV HIS question is so frequently
asked that it seems desir-
IL able, once in a while, to at.
tempt an answer. There is no
real difficulty in understanding
what is meant" by the fourth
dimension provided that first you
get clearly in mind what the
three ordinary dimensions are. and
especially the reason why there
are three and only three. have
found that a surprising number
of educated people have very
misty ideas about this. They are
confused by the fact that they
can think of an object as having
an infinite number Of dimensions.
because it extends outward from
its center on all sides in every
conceivable direction.
But, while this is true, vel
there are but three fundamental
directions involved in the con.
struction Of any solid BODY or in
open spaces, all the others being
summed up in these three, which
alone are called dimensions. They
are length, breath, and thickness.
or height.
Consider the room in which
you are sitting; it is say Is feet
long IL feet broad, and 8 feet
high. These three dimensions
are measured at, right angles to
one another, and you can find no
more than three dimensions
bearing that relation. The re.
spective names that you give them
have no importance except for
The Washington times., 1924-06-11

Many attempts have been made
to present a sort Of geometrical
representation Of the fourth di.
mansions, but they have no real
meaning, and are worse than use.
less for purposes of explanation.
The fact Is that the fourth dimen.
sion idea Is purely, the product Of
transcendental mathematics, spurn-
ing reality, and starting from
abstract notions to build up it's
beautiful structures, for beauti-
ful--as soap bubbles--they do
appear to those who. with Ber-
trand Russell, define "pure mathe.
mates" as "a subject in which
we never know what we are
talking about, nor whether what
we are saying Is true"
IL you wish, nevertheless, to oh.
tain sort of ghost view of the
fourth dimensions, you could, per-
maps, do no better than consider
1t from the side of Einstein's
idea that it is represented by
time. We must all admit that
things exist in time as well as
in space. Then you may consider
time as being, not Independent Of
space, but something compounded
with space--in short a fourth
kind Of dimension of which our
ordinary senses give us no notion,
but which we apprehend through
our time.sense. This is the origin
of what the Elnsteiriians call
"Space.time," which possesses a
famous curvature" that cannot
be described except in nathe-
NAUTICAL language, but which. they
claim would give Newton q had
quarter of an hour II he could
come back and consider It.

convenience; you can interchange
them all at will.
If You run an imaginary line
from a lower corner of the room
to the diagonally opposite upper
corner, littlo thought will show
that the extension of this line
is made up of the three original
dimensions. 1t is contained in
the length, breadth, and height
OF the room. Taking those di-
mansions as whole you may
turn them about as much as you
like, and regard them in what
ever aspect you will, but you can
never add to their number, or
change their relation to one
another. A solid, then, or space
itself, is made up Of three and
only three dimensions.
So, too, a plane, flat surface Is

Now, with these things clear
in your head, consider what
fourth dimension would have to
be. Plainly. it would have to be
something entirely different from

ness, and inasmuch as only length,
breadth, and thickness are found
to exist in any material object, on
in the space around material OBJ.
jects, we must conclude that a
fourth dimension can only be de-
scribed-at least as far as human
experience is concerned-as a
metaphysical conception which
has no corresponding reality for
us.

LEGISLATOR URGES
 SPECIAL SESSION
Needed In Interest Of School,
 Says Ware
(State Capital Bureau.) ]

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 13.- A special legislative session is needed in the interest of public schools, &C., cording to Representative D. T. Ware of Randolph county, who was at the capitol today. Mir. Ware pointed to the crowded conditions of various in- stitutions of learning as evidence of the need of more funds. He stated that in his home county of Randolph the coun- ty authorities have decided upon a five months school term for the next year, being unable to go further for lack of funds.
 A severance tax is advocated by the representative from Randolph to pro- vide the necessary funds. He express ed the belief that more tax burdens on the people already bearing them would not be desirable.
 Mir. Ware was accompanied on his trip to the capitol by J. NJ. Ballard, a prominent Randolph county citizen.
 Two Paroles Granted-Gov. w. W. Brandon, today paroled Joseph N. Hughes, convicted in Limestone county of keeping a gaming table, in Septem- Der, 1923, and given 12 to 15 months. Parole was granted also to J. c. Hall of Jefferson county, convicted of third degree forgery, January, 1924, and given 12 months hard labor.
 Vegetable Rate Cut-The Alabama public service commission today ap- proved a reduction in rates on cucum- bers and onions in brine, loaded in tanks and vats, or in barrels, carload, from Dothan to Montgomery over the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. The re- duction resulted from a petition by the Brice- Booker Manufacturing company, local pickle concern. The rate as re- local pickle concern. The rate was re- duced from 221s to IS cents per hun dred pounds.
