After a few months of careful matching he was sent into the right with Sergeant Sammy Baker. at that time the counfry's leading contender to Joe Dundee's crown.

The amusing thing and the fundamentally DIsGRAcEFUL

THE GOVERNMENT HAD NO FUNDS TO BUILD IT.

Therefore it necessary for Lieutenant Williams to raise

one of the commonest causes
for such pains are weak arches

foot or instep, which is built
up OF small bones in the form
Of an arch tends to separate
and become flattened. The result
is that the sole of the foot also
becomes broad and flat. hence
the name flat-foot
Often the patient complains
Of pains in the ankle or in the
instep. Walking tires quickly.
General discomfort is increased
While standing.
One way of testing whether the
arches of the feet have broken

For this the person stands for

The Einstein Theory
BIZ Archibald Henderson

0NE of the most familiar of
~ plat1tudes is the assertion that
the Theory of Relatively is lncom-
prehensible. 1t is usually taken
for granted that its author, Elm
stein, is. some sort of abnormal
phenomenon, a freak. The rhyms-
sters, the penny-a-lIners, the col
umnists raise their little laughs,
set off their little detonations, at
their own expense for being so
dumb" as not to understand rela-
tivity.
One popular Photographer some
years ago compared Einstein's
theory with Mother Goose, much
to the formers discredit:
The Einstein theory's doubtless

my dome of thought is gray and
old. and it might crack if asked

When soulful people come to me
to talk of relatively, I tell them
to vamoose; 1 have the courage
to admit that Einstein hasn't
made hit compared with Mother
Goose
And much more prosaic po'try
to the same effect.
Recently, this same light versi-
fier, much to the delight of the
groundlings, no doubt, has bursts
forth once more. in similar strain:
"A dozen men in all the land

learned enough to understand
what Einstein has to say. These

Ellen Gray thinks they are.
Here are parts OF her letter:
Take the average American

Now what is the truth about
the whole matter? The answer
is that any comprehensive theory

to explain completely, the motions
