SCIENCE
Einstein Expected TO Make
interesting Experiments at
Mt. Wilson Observatory.
BY DAVID DIETZ

THE Nj. Wilson observatory,
4 which Professor Albert Elm
stein will visit on the trip to the
United States which he is planning,
has played an important role in the
history of the theory of RELATIVELY.
Two important pieces Of research,
both tending to confirm the theory
have been carried on there.
A considerable portion Of DR.. Day
ton G. Mlller's work, leading to re-
suits which Miller believes can not
be made 10 conform with the pres
ent relatively theory, was carried on
at Mt. Wilson.
At present. the Mt. Wilson as
tronomers are carrying on expert
ments along the nature of Niller's
to see If they can explain the diff
ferences between Afiller's results and
Einstein's theory.
1t seems almost certain that If
Einstein comes 10 this country he
probably will carry on some expert
ments of his own. both at Mt Will
son observatory and at the CelifoT-
nit Institute Of Technology, which
is located in Pasadena, not far from
the observatory
Both the observatory and the in
stitute would be in position to put
excellent equipment and trained
men at the service OF the German
genius.

Views of Times Readers

Editor Tirnes-In enforcing the
new law for delinquent tax, the Off
Gals are not selling property at its
appraised value. They just sell the
lien against the property for taxes
penalty and costs and are giving
deeds to the property for this
amount, thus confiScating the prop
erty of the owner and roboing the
heirs of their just and lawful in
heritance.
The lawyer tells us that this is
the law. He also says that ig-
norance of the law excuses no one
If so, are not the lawyers them
selves confidence swindlers? Do
they not betray the confidence OF
their clients by misleading state
ments thai aid in the robbing OF
orphans?
Why should they endeavor to
make their clients believe that con-
fiscation of property and robbing OF
orphans is law? Why it is That,
with their boosted education, grad
yates of our colleges and law scnocls
do not appear to know the first
principles of law, the foundation Of
which is justice? If it is ignorance
it is not much credit to our schools.
If this government is "of the
people. by the people, for the
people" why should not the lawyers
be held responsible for their acts,
Just the same as any other citizen?
Just look at the way law is being
enforced. Does it give justice? If
an innocent party brings suit to get
what just is due him and proves
his claim, DO they make the party
that is proved guilty pay the court
costs? No, for he, knowing that he
is guilty would pay and quit. They
therefore penalize the innocent
party for the wrongs done by 9TH
ers, carry the case over to the next
court Or venue it to some other
court, etc.
Why do they do this? Is it not for
the purpose Of robbing and discour-
aging the innocent party, thus pro-

During the first year of life, the
normal baby should eat enough
food to give him an average of so

During the very first part of the

tecting the one who has done wrong
and breaking the will of the limo
cent, so that they can be worked
like broken horses? Is. this not the
manner in which is being enforced
and what is called law?
Can penalizing the innocent for
the wrongs done by others be law?
Can confiScation and robbing be
law, except in a gang Of robbers
whose business is robbery?
Some people seem to think that
what is written in book called
law, is law, whether 1t gives justice
or not. I question this idea, as
there must be a foundation upon
which to build or there could not
be any stability to law. Otherwise,
those given the privilege to write
law could, inside of an hour, make
us their slaves. Therefore. can
what is written for law, be law, If
it does not give justice?

Dr.. Nicholson


A T present, DR.. Albert Nicholson
N is at Mt. Wilson observatory.
where he is carrying on his latest
experiment to determine the veloc-
ity Of light.
It is understood that Nicholson,
who recently retired from the fac
ulty of the University of Chicago
he now is n years old-intends to
spend all his time in Pasadena.
The observatory stands upon
mountain peak near Pasadena,
while the observatory's Offices are
in that city
The Einstein theory of relatively
really began with an idea of
NIichelson's.
In 1887, DR.. Nicholson, then pro
lessor of physics at Case School of
Applied Science. and the late DR..
Edward w. Morley, then professor
| of chemistry at Western Reserve
university, both in Cleveland, made
an experiment to measure the mo-
ton of the earth through the ether
of space. The apparatus used was
the interferometer, an invention Of
Michelson's.
Einstein's theory and much of
the present argument over the
theory grew out of that experiment.
The experiment Gid not show the
expected movement through the
ether.
Einstein and others interpreted
the experiment to mean that it
was not possible to measure the
fundamental motion of the earth
through space.
Out of this grows one postulate
of the Einstein theory that all mo-
ton is relative to the observer.

MiIIerIS Tests
M. DAYTON G. MILLER, who

DR. DAYTON c. MILLER, who
~ succeeded DR.. Nicholson as
professor of physics at Case school,
never was satisfied with the rela-
tivity Interpretation of the Michel
SON Morley experiment.
Between 1921 and 1926, DR.. Miller
made countless tests with an inter-
ferometer which he set up at Mt
Wilson. Since 1926 he has continued
the experiments in Cleveland. Alto
gether, he has made more than
$4,000 readings on the interferom-
eter.
DR.. Miller is certain that the in
terferometer does give actual evil
dence of the motion of the earth
through the ether of space.
At present, Mt. Wilson astrono-
mers are conducting experiments
along the lines of Niiller's and so far
they are not inclined to agree with
him. They are, however, making
further tests.
The Einstein theory received sup
port from the observations of DR..
Charles E. st. John, one Of the Mt.
Wilson observers.
The Einsteins theory requires
curvature of space in the neighbor-
hood of matter. This influences
rays of light and introduces certain
shifts into the spectrum or rainbow
Of the sun.
DR.. st. John has found the shift
which the Einstein theory requires.
The recent work Of DR.. Edwin P.
Hubble, also Of the observatory staff,
upon the distant spiral neublae in
dicates a curvature of space of the
general order of that required by
Einstein, although it seems to con-
form more nearly to the ideas of a
Dutch scientist, De Sitter.
However, De Sitter's views are
predicated generally upon the idea
of Einstein relatively.

They Fool Themselves

T,ANATTCISM is the same old
L stuff, whether measured by the
credulity of proselyted or the wild
imagings of disbelievers. Let peo-
pie become blind with faith and
they are ready, not only to be fooled,
but fool themselves.
The tragedy is doubled by a pre-
cisely similar attitude on the part
of those opposed. Willing as she
might have been to do so, Soviet
Russia could not have staged the
show alone. It required the CO.
operation of those exiles who hope
to come back and who are willing
to bet on anything or persuade other
people to bet on it, that offers the
slightest promise of realizing that
hope.
One needs no knowledge of the
details to understand how the hash
of half insane ideas and ideals was
compounded, but one does need to
know the background.

Three InfIuancas at Work

DACK stage, three gigantic in
ID fuences are at work. First,
there is Communism, compelled to
function through terroristic meth
DDS ON the one hand and to make
the Russian people think that such
methods are necessary, on the other.
Second, there is the multitude Of
exiles, emigres and expatriates
scattered throughout the world, liv-
ing in poverty, matching the ardent
faith in Communism with an
equally ardent hate, waiting for
nothing, praying for nothing so
fervently as counter revolution.
Third, there is the disconnected
element within Russia, largely COM
posed of professional or educated
men who string along with the red
regime because they have to, but
who forever are looking through
crossed fingers.

With her log filled with colorful stories of adventure, tales of the Nome gold rush of 1898 and of a daring exploit in the South Seas, the wooden steamship Homer is moored at the face of Pier 1l-B, Seattle, ready to resume service as salvage vessel.
 The Homer was in Seattle four years ago when the location was first tried out and now Seattle will be made a permanent base of Oper ations of the Merritt, Chapman & Scott Corp, of Calf, owner of the vessel. She came to Seattle this time from Los Angeles harbor
 CRAFT, CREW, IN MOVIES
 Although it has been many years since the Homer first breasted the waves, she is as staunch as any ship afloat and is well equipped for sal wage operations" said Capt. Thos. P. Hansen, iron man of the sea, who Is the vessels master.
 More than 30 years ago, the Homer carried scores of miners to the gold country of the Seward Peninsula and returned them to California with fat pokes of the yell low metal. During those days she was known as the Excelsior For that reason She was selected as the gold ship in the filming of the mo- tion picture drama, The Trail of 98". The picture was made in Los Angeles harbor and we of the Hom- CT took stellar parts. We were in the movies six days took the part of the hard boiled skipper of the gold ship just in from Nome with much treasure cargo and our decks thronged with miners in the garb of Ite North.
 OLD TIMER AT SALvAGING
 The salvage game is not new to the Homer. Tn 1917 she was sent iron, San Francisco to Tackarora iii the South seas, 2dc miles from Tahiti to attempt to refloat the full rigged iron sailing ship County of Roxbury, which had been driven ashore by tidal wave in 1912. Scores of natives were drowned by the tidal wave and the County of Hoxbury was cast on the beach. Only one member of the crew of the windjammer, the ships carpen- ter, was lost. The County of Rox- bury was bound from Australia for Portland when she was wrecked. Our salvage efforts were unsuccess- full
 Captain Hansen has been in the saIvaging buriness since 1912 He has been master of the Homer off and on for a total of IA years. The Homer has been a salvage ship since 1915.

 Built in Bandon, Ore, in 1891 the Homer is a vessel of SOP gross tons and 331 net tons register, 146 feet long, 33.8 feet beam and 17 feet in depth. She operated for a time as a freight and passenger carrier be- tween San Francisco and Eureka.
