THE great John B. Watson, psy-
Il chologist extraordinary and
doctor of philosophy, seems to me
little lacking in horse sense. I'm
less, of course, he was only fooling
in his most recent newspaper inter
view.
He is quoted as saying, business
experience for women? ROt!"
And to this remark he added by
way of explanation: Business is
only an escape for a women. Mar
riage is a woman's best job-an in
teresting and difficult and demand
ing Job.
"What does the business world
offer a woman as interesting as
marriage? The woman who leaves
her home for eight hours a day and
$25 or $35 a week is lacking in
inaagination.

Speak for Yourself

THE good doctor generalizes
Il much too freely. 1t is a fault
to which he has been addicted in
the past. If two or three babies he
haved conveniently in some expert
ment DR.. Watson has been quick to
proclaim to the lay and scientific
world that here was fundamental
rule for all infants.
John B. Watson has, as you prob
ably know, made the startling dis
covery that babies do not like to be
dropped or to have tin pans banged
suddenly just abaft either ear.
And now we find him building a
universal philosophy upon no
weightier structure than an adver-
Using mans fantasy of home and
fireside.
DR.. Watson IN recent years has
moved from the study Of babies to
the commercial consideration Of

The Movement Lives

nURING the last ten years, a
bdozen incidents have happened
in Europe which would have led
to conflict before 1914, but which
were smoothed over easily in spite
of the humiliation involved. What
is vastly more reassuring, the move
ment to substitute orderly ADJUST
ment for force has gone forward
steadily.
Though this movement has suf-
fered from a great deal Of i'm
practical idealism, though it has
seemed to fail in many of its i'm
portant undertakings, though it has
been baked by hangover Of back
stair intrigue, and though the back
ground has been one Of such horse
trading trickery and connivance as
would have done credit to pre-war
days, it still survives.

How It Started

THE Einstein theory Of relativ-
L ity is the outgrowth of an ex-
pertinent performed in Cleveland in
1887 by Professor A. A. Nicholson,
then professor of physics at Case
School of Applied Sciences, and the
late Professor E. w. Morley, then
professor of chemistry at Western
Reserve university.
DR.. Nicholson now is professor Of
physics at the University Of Chi
cago, and a research associate OF
the Mt. Wilson observatory.
Purpose of the experiment was to
detect the motion of the earth
through the ether of space as the
earth revolved around the sun.
The experiment, which became
known as the N1ichelson-Morley eX-
pertinent, was performed with a
device invented by Nicholson, called
the interferometer.
The apparatus consisted of a
large steel cross floating on pool
of mercury. A system of mirrors
split a beam of light into two, re-
Elected each half along one of the
arms of the cross and then united
the two halves again into an eye
piece.
A series of light and dark bands,
called interference fringes, appear
in the eyepiece, due to the interior
ence of the two halves of the beam
with each other when they unite.
The theory underlying the eX-
pertinent can be stated briefly as
follows: Mother of earth through
the ether ought to cause a differ
ence in the apparent speed of light
in various directions, since light
waves also are moving through the
ether.
If the cross of the interferometer
is rotated, this differnce in the
speed of light in various directions
ought to manifest itself by a shift
ing back and forth of the inter
ference fringes in the eyepiece.
Il
NICHOLSON and Morley did not
IV1 find the evidence of motion
through the ether, or ether-drift as
it is called, in 1887.
A suggestion was made by two
European scientists that the failure
of the apparatus to show the shift
was due to a contraction in the arms
of the instrument with the speed of
the earth. This became known as
the Fitzgerald contraction,
after the scientists who suggested it.
Einstein developed this into his
special theory of relatively, first an
nounced in 1905, in which he set
down the postulate that all motion
is relative to the observer and that
it would never be possible to mea-
sure absolute motion of the earth
through the ether of space.
However, DR.. Clayton G. Miller,
famous physicist of Case School of
Applied Science, has been ex-
perimenting with the interferometer
since 1906. He has made obserVa-
tions with it both at Cleveland and
at Mt. Wilson.
Since 1921, DR.. Miller has made
more than $4,000 observations on
the interferometer
He insists that his experiments
show results which can at present be
interpreted satisfactory only as,
an absolute motion of the earth
through the ether. something which
EinStein says is impossible.
A recent publication from the Mt
Wilson Observatory indicates that
the astronomers there have been
giving attention to the problem
since 1926 and now are getting
ready to embark upon a series OF
important experiments.
The scientific world will watch
with interest for the Mt. Wilson
pronouncement.

A Flood Of Propaganda

MANY big stories represent little
4VA but propaganda these days. It
develops that much Of the gloomy
forbodings with regard to Germany
were instigated by bankers who
wished to create a depressed mar
ket to get separation bonds at a
cheaper price.
1t also develops that quite a few
editors and observers fell for the
bunk, though nothing more than
simple arithmetic was required to
reveal its real character. fascism
made surprising gains in the recent
election, but, even so, it polled only
about one-fifth of the popular vote
and controls only about one-fifth
Of the reichstag.
To read some of the reports and
deductions, one would suppose that
the German republic had come 10 a
point Of collapse, that revolution.
was likely to arrive any moment.
and that the kaiser might as we'll
pack his trunk and get ready for a
comeback.

Reason for Discomfort


4 DMITTEDLY, Europe is some
L n what disconnected, but what
else could be expected, with all the
widows, orphans, war debts, and
alterations in the map?
Admittedly, a lot remains to be
done before recovery can be regard
ed as complete, whether from a DO
litical, economic, or social stand
point. Admittedly, the Big Four
made some terrific blunders, not
only with regard to reparations. but
with regard to the destruction of
states and creation of new ones.
But, as Ambassador Sackett said
when asked for his opinion about
tie war rumors, it takes quite lot
of money to start a war these days.

death.
1t was not until late Friday that

she secretly divorced in Richmond
