CITY PICTURED
AS AIR CENTER

A comprehensive survey Of avia-
ton as 1t functions today was pres
ented by II. Z. Gilmore. manager
OF the international airport at to-
days KiwaniS club luncheon at Fl
Jardin hotel. A portion Of his ad-
dress especially striking home
among the group of business men
at the club was his streSsing OF
Brownsville as a key point in the
new air world. which should draw
TO il in the future a world trade.
There are now III 1000 licensed
pilots in the u. s. Mr.. Gilmore
said, and the scheduled flying miles
last wear totalled more than twenty
million miles. Air mail routes nov
cover $4,000 miles and seven mill
lion pounds OF mail are carried.
1900 airports are operating through
out the country ana 400 more are
under consideration. The u. s.
boasts 10000 miles Of lighted air
ways. Mr.. Gilmore said, and en-
phaSized tina. the danger element
in flying is negligible. and that
95 per cent OF accidents In air
planes can be traced to the care
lessness Of someone.
Junior college students presented
a blackface skit which will be a
part OF the program TO b. given
at the college nexG Monday night.
"A resolution was passed for the
club TO meet at 1905 instead Of
1915. giving additional ten min
utes time for the meetings.

(Pl-Einstein's first practical proof
Of some connection between gravita-
ton and electricity is announced
in his new paper.
His discovery OF mathematical
equations. which he said prove that
gravitation and electricity are re-
lated. created a world sensation
about a year ago. One Of the great
goals of science is to learn the con-
nection between these two univer-
sal forces. With light. they affect
every moment Of human life.
Einstein's first announcement did
not attempt TO say what the rela-
ton is. but only that its existence
Is demonstrated in mathematical
formulate. which he called field
equations. These equations, however,
failed 10 work altogether s~atisfactor-
lily and their accuracy was chal-
lenged. Einstein modified them seek
ing to eliminate weak @ots. The
Berlin dispatch indicates success.
Equation Works
DR.. NJ. S. Vallarta. assistant pro-
lessor OF physics at Massachusetts,
Institute Of Technology. today ex-
planned the Importance Of the Ber-
lin announcement.
1T means" he said, that DR..
Einstein has found from his latest
equations both the laws Of gravity
and the laws of electricity. The same
equation gives both Of these laws
correctly. This, at least, is the con-
clusion to be drawn from the brief
description.
by giving correctly both gravita-
tional and electrical laws, the equa-
tons seem to verify the existence Of
a connection between the two funda-
mental forces. This Is the first TIME
that a mathematical solution has
worked. 1t is very important.
Two Forces Alike
"An idea Of the first solution
that Of a specifically symmetrical
field in space-may be obtained from
comparison with physical conditions
upon the sphere which as conceiv-
ed in the mathematical solution, is
not flattened at the poles like the
earth, but is perfectly round. With
such a globe the pull Of its gravita-
ton would be the same everywhere
at a given distance above its sur
face. The electrical forces OF such a
globe-asSumed to be electrically
charged-would likewise be symme-
trical. It Is TO the g~ravitational and
electrical forces Of such globe that
Einstein has applied his field equa-
tions.
THE second solution Is not so i'm
portant. being in the nature OF a
confirmation"

 The conductor smiled. Because ? he said, "Toscanini respects the forms of Beethoven and reflects their pure and profound spiritual ity."
 Toscanini declared that opera and the concert stage lack vitality be- cause of the "coldness of sentiment of contemporary artists" He quoted saying of the composer Arrigo Boito:

 Happy are the arts which do not need interpreters. Those do not descend, Tn the galleries we can admire the glories of all the centuries and of all the schools"
 The public, concluded the New York conductor, is never wrong in its appreciation of music.
 "The public never makes a mis- take" he said The case of Meph- istofeles' is good example. All the beautiful parts of that opera were appreciated by the public even from the first presentation on March 5. 1868. but the long, useless and unworthy parts brought about it's failure.
