BUREAU DEVELOPS
NEW LIGHT SCALE
Achievement Cited as One OF
Greatest of Year in Stand
ards Report.

Creation of a new standard for meas
uring light is cited in the annual re-
port of Director George K. Burgess OF
the Bureau of Standards, as one OF the
most important achievements at the
Bureau during the past year. The re-
port was released for publication today
Experimental work in aeronautics
and various commercial studies were
also named by DR.. Burgess as being OF
especial importance.
The new standard of light, according
to Dr. Burgess, is expected eventually
to supplant the artificial standards,
such as carbon lamps, which are now
used as standards of candls power by
the various nations.
Urges World Adoption.
The new standard involves a meas
urement of the brightness of the in
terror of as small tube of refractory
material immersed in a bath of pure
platinum. The brightness of the in
terror Of the tube has been found to
equal 1894 candles per square CEN
timeter.
A recommendation has been made by
the Bureau that this standard be
accepted by the International Commit
tee on Weights and Measures.
The signing by President Hoover of a
bill creating national hydraulic
laboratory at the Bureau is described
as an event of great significance in the
engineering world.
This laboratory will study funda-
mental problems of hydraulics includ-
ing flow of rivers and open streams, and
will test all kinds of hydraulic machines
and instruments.
Development of a successful visual
reed indicator for showing q pilot
whether he is on his course and prog
ress made In the development Of
radio system for guiding airplanes to
safe landings in fog, were set forth as
among the more important contribu-
tons of the bureau to aeronauticS.
To determine the effect of repeated
vibration on duralumin, the report says,
a special machine is in use at the
Arlington laboratory in which the spec
linen is floated on air and is caused
to vibrate by high-speed air stream
at a rate of 210 cycles per second.
Rail Fissures Checked.
AS an important contribution to the
removal of hazards from transporta-
ton, attention was called to the work
of the bureau in devising means Of
eliminating transverse assures from
steel rails. Certain changes in the
manufacturing procedure are suggested
as a means of correcting the evil.
The remainder OF the report deals
with experiments on the tanning of
sole leather, xylose and study Of
optics.
The number of tests completed by
the bureau during the year was fixed
at 200.726, as compared with 1852
during the preceding year.

Hector 100 inches in diameter-will be

the lfnitless realm of space and light.
At Pasadena, DR.. Einstein will enjoy
the companionship Of two Of the worlds

bilities," in the hope that he will find
facilities here for development of his
theory. 1t has largely to do with the
nature of space and Of the universe, and
depends In some part on an impression
Of the nature of matter. The California
Institute Of Technology has carried on
some Of the most fundamental studies
in the nature Of matter. embracing the
structure and function of the atom and
many associated special Problems.
Some of the worlds most important
data on the nature Of the space uni
verse. and the way in which light and
other things act in 1t, have resulted
from the work at Mount Wilson OBJ
servatory. Edwin p. Hubble Of its
research star, is one of Americas bril-
liant astronomers. Hubble has utilized
the giant telescope refiectors at Mount
Wilson for pioneer researches In the
dimensions of space.
At Mount Wilson, too, much spectre
scopic work is being done that con-
Germs the elements of the universe. with
view to showing the influence of light
in various ways Such data Is of In
valuable Importance for determining the
dimensions of the universe.

America may be destined to be the
place where Prof. Albert Einstein Will
unravel the great scientific mystery OF
cause and effect. The impending visit
of the world-celebrated author OF rela-
tivity, it is expected here, will be con-
cerned mainly with the relation between
electricity, magnetism and gravity.
These are major aspects of the Einstein
theory, about which its discoverer is
eager for more light. They impinge di-
rectly upon his quest for a solution OF
the cosmic riddle-as he has just put
it in a public address at Berlin, viz,
whether the hen or the egg came first"
American scientists evince lively in

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Commentators have long stressed the wish that the glorious spirit which prevails at Christmas could be extended to the other 364 days in the year. Certainly it is true that without pain man would not recognize pleas ure. It seems as though humanity is not cap able of sustained goodness. But one can try becaus nothing in the catalogue of emotions is quite like that uplifting, generous, genial spirit that radiates throughout the Christmas season. And those who give generously know that in giving is it's own reward So not only in worldly goods, but in kind words anG acts, give generously, always
 Merry Christmas!
