Bernard Shaw and Bertram G.
Whitney to play Joan.
OF the many American girls whose
names have been written in high
places by virtue of their own achieve
ments in the sphere of intellectual
endeavor there is none who ranks
higher on the modern stage than
Julia Arthur.
Sir Henry Irving selected her for
his company and her reception was
almost generous as that accorded
the two luminaries of the Lyceum in
London, when she played Sophie In
olivia" and Queen Anne to Sir
Henry's Richard. AS Rosamond in
Beckett she won triumph, her
beauty and her art holding even
critical audiences who idolized Ellen
Terry. This was again the case when,
during illness of the great actress,
Julia Arthur appeared as Imogen in
the great presentation of "Cymbe-
line"
When Miss Arthur returned to star
in her native America she obtained
the rights to Mrs Frances Hodgson
Burnett's "A Lady of Quality" Her
impersonation of Clorinda Wildaire
will long be remembered as an
achievement at once convincing. pow

tanned. With reference to Einstein's
use of the experiment in connection
with his relatively theory, Professor
Miller has said:
"The whole theory was related to
physical phenomena largely on the
assumption that the ether-drift expert
ments had given a definite and exact
null result. This Interpretation of
the experiment was not acceptable to
the writer, and further observations
were undertaken TO determine this
particular question"
The consequence Of these further
observations has been to show that the
earth's motion through the ether Is
quite readily detachable and meas
urable, and that the ether-drift is more
conspicuous at a considerable eleva-
ton, as on Mount Wilson, than near
sea level. Any reader who is specially
interested should consult Professor
Miller's article on the ether-drift ex-
periments, published in Science, "
June 10, 1925. After learning the
facts, as there set forth, he may Won
der how the Einsteinians could have
had the assurance to patronize New
ton as pretty good as far as he went,
but not accurate enough for them,
when their own theory stood upon a
lshaky and inaccurate foundation in
consequence of the erroneous interpre-
ltation Of the Michelson-Morley expert
ment.
The relation established by Profes.
sor Miller's measurements of the ether
drift between that phenomenon and the
voyage Of the sun and the planets
through interstcllar space win interest
the average reader more than the ques-
ton of the future fate Of Einstein's
theory.
Such motion is not peculiar to the
sun with its solar system, for all the
stars are similarly yoyaging, at many
different rates Of speed; but this par
ticular case has a matchless Interest

Motion and Progress
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

In Kipling's famous poem, IF"
there occurs the phrase, "the unfor-
giving minute"
The poet says to the boy he can
count himself a man when, among
other things, he can "fill the I'M
forgiving minute with sixty seconds
worth of distance rum"
This requirement implies two
conditions. First a constant applica-
ton to the work at hand, and sec
ond a destination in view.
All motion is not progress
1t should be remembered that the
poet calls for sixty seconds worth of
distance run.
Just working in life without aim
or goal or ideal may keep you NOV
ing. 1t may keep you moving at q
lively rate at times. But Il just run
ming ON a treadmill.
It isn't filling the unforgiving min
ute with sixty seconds worth of dis
lance run; it is just filling it with
sixty seconds worth of running. And
there is big difference between the
two.
The distance between them rs the
distance between failure and success.

Figures Of Speech
"Settins the River on Fire"

Scttiu6 inc ItiVCf On i've
II is sometimes said OF a person
with no great ability that "he will
never set the river on fire." That
means, according 10 one authority,
that he will never make any figure
in the world; will never plant his
footsteps on the sands Of time"
The English have a saying. "He
viii never set the Thames on fire"
Some of them explain it by noting the
similarity between the word Thames"
and the word "temse," meaning a
sieve. A person manipulating a
'temse," or corn sieve, might, con.
ecivably, turn It so fast as to set
the wood on fire. but he would have
to work mighty fast.
The so-called origin Of the phrase
"to set the Than.s (or riyer) on
fire" "does not hold water" however,

a similar saying wish regard to their
river Seine; the Romans applied IL
also to Father Tiber and the Ger

Solar System Speeding Toward

A very interesting outcome Of the
observations Of Professor Dayton q.
Miller on the effects Of the earth's
motion through the ether Is a con-
firmation Of the result of astronomical
measurements which show that the
solar system is travelling through space
toward q point near the bright star
Vega, with a speed of approximately
u miles per second.
This striking confirmation was men
toned at the recent meeting Of the
Optical Society of America at Ithaca,
in connection with the announcement
that, during the past summer, Profes-
sor Miller has repeated his measure
ments of the earth's motion hundred
thousand times, finding results that
seem to be consistent with those that
he originally reported in the early

FRESH AIR in WINTER
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. l
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner Of Health, New York City

Coldl weather il q trying time for
old pebble and babies. Rain, sleet,
snow, lcold winds, draughn of air
and all the evils Of winter are bad
for the very old and the very yourg.
Janu| bry and February bring pneu-
monia 4 md other diseases Of the breath
ing ord ans. Unusual care must be
exercise b at this season.
Cold lair Is not harmful. Chilling
is dang erous. If the baby is warmly
covered lit won't harm the child a bit
to be thken out of doors every day.
But il Ithere is lack Of covering the
body BID comes chilled, and then there
is trout lie ahead.
One BIZ the reasons why winter is
bad foa baby is because the anxious
mother Is SO afraid Of the cold that
she RODS the child of fresh air. She
cuddled the youngster, shuts him up
in a dorner, nails the window shut
and turks rugs around it to keep the
air ouk, and by screens of various
sorts protects" the baby from
draugHts and cold.
Thid is all wrong. 1t is just MS
important to give a baby pure air in
winter as II is in July. There can
be no resistance to disease without
an abundance of oxygen. There can
be nd proper digestion Of the food
without an abundance of oxygen.
OF course, good Judgment must be
exercises in beginning out-of-door life
for the baby. A summer or autumn

open air by this time that daily
outing Of an hour or 10 is safe and
desirable.
A new baby, one born this winter,
cannot be taken out until the age Of
two or three months has been reach
ed. OF course, much depends on the
vigor Of the infant and the kind of
weather But when conditions are
favorable the fresh outside air will
do lots of good.
II 1t seems inadvisable to take the
infant out-of-doors, this is no reason
why it cannot be thoroughly aired In
the house. The windows Of ono room
should be opened and the wrapped-up
infant can be given q lot Of oxygen
this way. 4 49,.
1t makes no difference whether the
baby is awake or asleep. The airing
will do him good anyway.
An infant should have just rs
much air space in the sleeping room
as an adult has. 1t is a terrible
mistake to overlook this necessary
thing. Because the little thing is
so tiny, there is popular idea that
a narrow nook anywhere win do.
1t won't do at all. The baby must
have an abundance Of pure air II it
is to thrive. Dust, smoke and irritat-
ing vapors arc worse for little child
than for an adult. The atmosphere
must be free from contamination and
given to the baby in abundance.
