SCIENTISTS CLAIM
 RELAT|V|TY FLAWS
Einstein Coming to Enemy Camp
 On "Ether Question"

New York. Dec. IS. R}-AlbeTt Einstein's visit to the United States brings him into a scientific camp which sees possible flaws in relativ- ity.
 One is a. troublesome question about the existence of "ether," the hypothetical, all-pervading atmos- phere of space in which light waves once were supposed to travel.
 Many relativists assert that re- lativity ignores the possibility that ether exists. although it is a curious fact that the father of relativity himself had admitted the possibility of an ether of some sort.
 Ether went into the discard just after the famous MichelsonM Merely ether-drift experiments in America failed to prove existence of the eth er Many authoritative scientific books now assert that this experi- ment found no evidence of ether.
 Books in Error
 But recently Dr. Dayton C, Mil Ter, of the Case School Of Applied Science of Cleveland. has been eX- hibiting a record which proves the books are in error. This record is the original copy of the Michelson- Merely report.
 Far from stating that they found no evidence of ether. 1t says that they did observe an "effect" such as r1, irr bI1t was too small to be conclusive.

.FILIPIN0S PREVENT
 AGU|NALD0'S TOUR
Fear Letting Former Rebel Chieftain Take Stump in US.

Manila. Dec. IS. JP)-Ien. Emilio Aguinaldo, hero of this country at the dawn of the century when he led a rebellion against the United States, prohab has been baked Of a trip to the United States where he hoped to work for Philippine inde- pendcnce.
 Opposition Of Filipino politicians. who viewed the old generals pro- posed tour with mingled embarrass- ment and fear. is held responsible for his reported decision to aban- don the project.
 The politicians felt that Asuin- aldo would not make good impress sion in the United States. He speaks practically no English, Spanish but poorly and the only language of which he has full con- mand is Tagalog. his tribal tongue. | When the trip was first mentioned some of the Filipino newspapers suggested that he would do well to take along some wise counselors.
 The politicians also feared his pohliC1. They were not sure he would talk the right kind of inde- pondence. This fear was epito- mixed by Representative Tomas Confesor in opposing a bill which would have given the Philippine legislatures endorsement to the trip.
 T am not predicting" Contesor said that General Aguinaldo will commit series of blunders in the United States, but l do say that he supposing that General Aguinaldo should advocate a dictatorship form of government for the Philip pines while in America, as he advo- cated here not long ago, where would the Philippine legislature be if it had previously voiced con- 1 fldence n General Aguinaldo?' The opposition to the trip even found it's way into the Asociacion de Neteranos de la Reyolucion, the 1 Filipino veterans organization, of which the general is the president.
 
 prove his proposed journey. The approval was given, but not unani- mously, and he attributed this op- position within his own group 10 outside political influence. The general told the veterans thar he would not go unless the public at large endorsed the project aiming that he wanted to pre- sent the American government | with mandate from his people.
 Although it is easy enough, when the political leaders desire it, to get provincial and municipal boards and civic organizations to pass resolutions on almost any project or person, the public endorsement asked by the general has never been given. T. would be political death for any of the local politi- clans 70 permit such an endorse ment to come from his province or town.

GOLD IS DOMINANT
 IN SOCIAL SEASON
Mems Uniforms, WOmen'S
 Gowns Flash in Capital

Washington. Dec. IS. Cp-Gold is the dominant note in the brilliant social season JUS, inaugurated at the White House.
 The gleam Of gold in uniforms of many countries and in the gowns Of the women promise a season Of unusual Splendor.
 The White House, during d big dinner or on d reception night, looks as if King Midas might have passed that way turning everything he touched to gold.
 Gold dishes in the state dining room, gold candle sticks, and gold vases holding bouquets Of great usset-gold chrysanthcmums all have their places in tho social fes- tIyitIes.
 Women, clad in rustling white and gold brocade or lace over gold ao their parc in making the scene in the White House as sparkling and brilliant as anything from a fairy book tale.
 Mrs. Hoover dispensed with roses the usual formal dinner flower at the cabinet dinner which in- augurated the White House festi- yitios, and replaced them with the fea'hery gold pompons.
 The flowers were every where resting in gold bowls.
 Al the diplomatic reception, at- tended n~ '.6oo gue71s, Mrs. Her b.rr IIooy,r wore s gown of white and gold Oro~ldo made with long court ir,nn. The rich Gleam acccn- uaJed in a,r gown Was caught up at a hundred angles from gold i braid en uniforms and in dresses.
 Mrs, Henry L. Stimson, wife of ths secretary Of state, also wore white and gold brocadc. Mrs. Ray Lyman WIibUr wife of the secre- tary Of the interior, wore black lace 1 over gold.

This effect might have been due to errors of instrum ents, to ether or to something else still unknown.
 Errors" said the scientific world that followed Einstein.
 "Effert'' Persists
 But now Dr. Miller has made literally thousands of further exper- iments with improved ether-drift in- struments. and he finds the same small "effect" persisting.
 It is not error, he says.
 The effect of discovering ether would not be to scrap relativity. but to alter it somewhat
 A flaw is found also in the World- fsmous observations of bending of light rays near the sun, which first gave relativity it's popular vogue.
 Both Newton and Einstein pre- dicted that the sun would bend light, Newton on account of gravi- tation and Einstein on account of relativity's fascinating curvature of space
 "ProOfs' Criticized
 Einstein predicted about twice as great bending, and astronomers in 1919 upherd ' Einstein. But now Prof. Charles L. Poor of Columbia university says that this proof" was based only upon those parts of the observations which would sup port relativity and that it discarded unfavorable factors.
 Dr. Poor also says that a second proof" of relativity, an explanation Of certain puzzling motions of the planet Mercury is a mistake.
 When American scientists are asked to name Einstein's greatest achievement they often reply:
 He set men thinking"
 This they hold is an imperishable accomplishment, regardless of what happens to relativity.
