MOT long ago 1 wrote about
IN teaching things that are not
so,' the reference being to the
obstinate insistence of interpre-
ters of the Einstein theory upon
the now exploded claim that the
Nicholson Morley experiment
proved that, no motion of the
earth relative to the luminiferous
ether is perceptible. showed
(what every careful and unpreiu-
dicel reader of current scientific
literature should have known) that
recent elaborate and extensive ex-
periments of the same nature as
the Nicholson Morley experiment,
but made by Prof. Dayton G.
Miller with improved apparatus
and under conditions far better
calculated to reveal the truth,
have furnished the only proof
in the case, viz, that such a mo-
ton is not only perceptible. but
very distinctly measurable. More
over, from the time of the early
experiments, there was open doubt
expressed as to the correctness OF
the negative result that was
claimed by some. and that was
afterward accepted by Einstein
as conclusive,
But this is not the end of the
story 1t has been the fate Of the
Einstein theory to become shroud-
ed in more mystification and en-
veloped with more Alice-in- Won
derisms than probably any other
in the history of science. 1t Is
pity to have to add that there
also appears to be certain
amount of disingenuousness-
haps it is rather infatuation-eX-
.hibited by over-Zealous opponents
or would-be opponents.
Disregard Facts
Not only have they continued
to r in the face of apparently
incontrovertible facts in the mat
ter mentioned above, but there Is
the same disregard of opposition
with reference to another of the
so.called combinations" of the
Einstein theory-that OF the APP
parent displacement of stars seen
near the sun during total eclipses.
For The general reading public,
this has furnished the most effec-
tive form Of propa ganda, because
the phenomenon lends itself very
readily to pictorial illustration
and its underlying idea can easily
be grasped and figured to the i'm
agination, being nothing but the
ending of a ray Of starlight IN
passing close to the enormous at
tractive mass of the sun.

Why Wives Are Politicians

Approximately 12S. 900 tickets have
