THE WORLD TODAY
by ARTHUR BRISBANE
Welcome to Einstein.
Fifty Miles. 10 Cents.
Japan's Mighty Growth.
That Strange Death.
by ARTHUR BRISBAI

Some very important news about new engine
comes from London. Operated by gas generated
from coke, this engine drove truck weighing one
ton, with $50 pounds Of passengers, fifty miles at
more than twenty miles hour, for total cost Of
10 cents
This is not pleasant news for railroads already
meeting competition from automobile trucks that
can't run fifty miles for 10 cents.
Professor Einstein. arriving in America got a
noisy reception and didn't like it. His friends are
mathematics, astronomy, abstract thought. They
yell push.
Reporters found it difficult to question Einstein
knowing well that only six men in the world could
understand his answers to important questions, and
probably no newspaper man is included in the six.
The learned professor supposed to supplant New
ton says the law of gravitation doesn't act every
where Aso straight lines do meet and "the inf
mite universe" is not infinite. It is all made Of
curves and comes back to the place whence it
started At least that how it sounds to ignorance
which asks Professor Einstein: IF the universe isn't
infinite, what is located outside of its boundaries?
And if, as you say, there point in past history
when time actually began how do you explain that?"
Professor Ensten says II explain it perfectly,
but you can't understand the explanation" What
can you reply to that?
mouse can't understand telephone although
it hears the bell ringing every day.
In any case Einstein is gigantic mathematical
genius. No doubt about that, and he is most well
come.
ed territory returns show that Japans popu-
aton is 64.557O0O than 100000 increase in FIVE
years.
Greater Tokyo with population of $4,ss80OO is
the worlds third city, Including colonies, Japans
population is 9000O,00OOOO
great powerful people, the Japanese. What
would be their number had they been able to spread
unrestricted on our Pacific coast?
Mysterious death, carried by the fog and killing
scores in Belgium, worries the British. Measuring

In Yorkshire. Grosmount, ten cattle are
found mysterously dead in the fog. with symptoms
that look much like those of the Belgian death fog
which also killed cattle.
Could it be-one guess is as good as another
that the recent shower of meeortes brought with it
reduced to powder by contact with the atmosphere,
floats about in the fog and is carried into the lungs?
Meteorites bring us iron, copper, gold. Why not
senic or worse unknown poison from some vicious
interstelar neighbor?
Russians now accused of sending us "gas
costs to produce. That probably is guess work. We
don't know what it costs Russia to produce coal.
You will be told by the ignorant and those that
reject real science in favor Of substitute that
germs and microbes" are all nonsense, everything
being 'in the mind"
The authorities of hospital had no such theory,
fortunately. Five patients died. strangely, immed-
lately after operations Investigation showed that
sterilzing machine employed in the operating ROOM
had insufficient steam heat, and streptococci and
staphylococci operating linen passed through
it unframed and killed the patients with whom they
came in contact
Mr.. Hyde, secretary of agriculture, says that gov
eminent lending money to buy human food is "per-
ilously near the dole.
On the other hand, allowing many people to be
hungry might bring you perilously near" to danger
Gus rioting something worse
The dole is humiating to those that receive, ex-
pensive to taxpayers that provide.
The British, grown wise by watching the mis-
takes Of Others know that the important thing is
keep human beings fed. Then you can manage them.
Senator Walsh, Of Massachusetts, wants the gov
eminent to establish q fve-day week in government
ervice to help the employment situation.
Industralists have learned that the eight-hour
day Is possible and beneficial Year in and year out
men will do more good work in eight hours day
than they would in ten hours day.
Perhaps 1t will be discovered that men can do
more work IL hve-day week lifetime than on the
old plan.
