ton is shifted through q score OF

terra and dreSsmaking establishment.

line of work, customers will be booked
by the principal and the income used

bers of the class for experience. Or
ders received from the public are filled
by students.

Thousand Prayers a Second.

The natives of Tibet are rigid be-
levers of the efficiency of prayer and
they think that the oftener prayer
is said, the more likelihood of its being
answered so they have invented ma
chimes that do their praying for them.
These do the work much more rapidly
than the human could possibly do 1t.
The machine consist of wheel with
number of pockets in it. The prayer
to be said is written on paper tape
and sometimes it is duplicated many
times on the same tape. For a certain
consideration, the native is allowed to
place prayer in one of the pockets
and he is then allowed to spin it for a
limited period of time. AS the wheel
may be made to revolve very rapidly,
it is possible to make a thousand pray
ers every second. Some Of the machines
set up in the temple are driven
by wind or water power so that the
human supplicant is relieved of all man.

Julio A. Mella, a staunch fighter
against American imperialism and
its puppet government of Cuba, was
taken away from US by the White

tiuously and bravely fought. He
was the author of the well-known
pamphlet "Ia Lucia Revolucionaria

who are waging a struggle against
Machado's terror, as well as against
American Imperialism.

Einstein Presents New
Theories on Relatively
and electromagnetic

BERLIN, Jan. II (UP).--Prof.
Albert Einstein, whose relatively
theory startled the scientific world
Is years ago, has emerged from his
workshop again--with five-page
document which is expected to
cause another sensation in the field
of science.
It is an application of his dis
coveries and a refutation of his adj
1ersaries' attempts to contest his
RELATIVELY theory from a philoso-
rhical standpoint.
"a few days ago I presented to
the Prussian Academy of Sciences
my latest work." Professor Einstein
told the United Press correspondent
at his home here this afternoon.
"The subject of the work is new
and more perfect formulation of the
general theory of relatively.
1.-The purpose of this work is to
unite the common viewpoint on the
laws of gravity and electromagnetic
ISM"
It is Interpreted, however, as his
reply to contestants of his theory
Of RELATIVELY and will be based en-
tirely on mathematics and physics,
completely ignoring philosophy. His
friends explain that Einstein, con-
siders the formulation oil a common
viewpoint on gravitational forces
and electro magnetism as almost
more important than his theory of
relatively.
