SAVANT CLAIMS
To LINK ATOM
! AND UNIVERSE

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. l9.
A new kind of curvature, named
"rac," which may link the whole
universe with the energy processes
OF the atom, has been discovered
by DR.. Edward Kasner, professor
Of Columbia University.
Prof. Kasner revealed his discov
cry before the final session here
of the National Academy of
Sciences. Just before DR.. Richard
c. Tolman, of Pasadena, gave
new model of the universe as a
working mechanism.
An Agent of Union
Einstein and other relativists
will find in DR.. Kasner's "raC"
possibly a method by which rela-
t1vity can be united with quantum.
In plain words, the energy pro-
cesseS Of electrons and radiations
may be brought under the relativ.
lists geometrical pictures of the
world. Up to this time there has
been a great gulf between the
curvature Of space which explains
gravitation and the manner in
which energy operates in atoms.
kaSner'S new curvature may
unite relativity with subatomic
energy affairs
By rae, DR.. KaSner means the
ratio between an arc and chord.
Now ordinarily the limit of this
ratio appears as l; that is, an
arc could be so small as to be-
come straight and coincide with
its chord, but in relativity, the
curved four-dimensional geometry.
a queer thing can happen, the
ratio Of arc to its chord can be
less than l.
Diminish in Jumps
Numbers representing these val
ueS Of rae, less than /, are not
continuously smaller and smaller,
but diminish in sudden jumps
down to zero. This diScontinuity
corresponds to the well-known
fact that electrons and radiation
darts within atoms exchange en-
ergy in Jumps Thus Kasner'S
new curvature becomes reconciled
with relativity,

THE FIGHT FOR FAIR PLAY

The debate in the House of Repre-
sentatives on the subject of the pro-
posed concessions to Cuba has served
to show the wide differences of opin-
ion among Republicans respecting the
merits of the plan set forth in that
measure, While majority OF the
Republican members of the House are
in favor of the bill, 1t is not too much
to say that they have taken that
position out of Difference to the wishes
of the leaders of the administration
/ It may be said without fear of success
| full contradiction that the achievement
of the promoters of the measure, in
winning to its support majority Of
the Republican members of the House,
is the first instance on record in all
the history of the body when an op-
posing majority has been changed in
to favorable majority by the ipees-
SAINT work OF the leaders. In nearly
every conference held by the Reulicans
of the House it was plainly apparent
that a majority of their number were
lined up in opposition to the bill.
The debate during the week has but
served to intensity the feeling against
the measure, although its opponents
regarded the contest as futile and that
the bill was certain to pass.
1t was early determined by the op-
ponents of she bill net to engage in
merely factious opposition to the mea-
sure, but to content themselves with
recording their votes against it, after
expressing their convictions that the
proposed reciprocity proposition was
against the principles of the Republi-
can party, of less advantage to the
Cuban people than it would be to the
refining interests that are in the mar
ket for the purchase Of raw sugar, and
that the principal effect of the legisla-
ton would be to retard the growth of
the domestic sugar industry.

To any but a short sighted person it
is evident that an increase in the cost
of the liquor license is a reform that
has come to stay. The increase is
nominal to say the least of it; that
the increase must be paid before a
contest is concluded is self evident,
and that the cost of the litigation will
be as much as the increase in the license

lature will again meet and can rectify

So the instigators of the scheme have
nothing to gain, but on the contrary
will stir up hot bed of bad feeling

Of as good legal minds as those who
have, it is said, given a contrary
opinion.
Our advice is not to be misled, but
apply the money you are asked to
subscribe to test the law toward pur-
chasing the license, if you desire to
continue in the liquor business, and
you will save money.

MEDICAL SOCIETY MEETS

The semi-annual meeting of t h e

Following the dinner the Society
was addressed by DR.. William B.

covered this subject in a mastery
way and gave out valuable informa-
ton with reference to diagnosis and
eatment. The discussion was OPEN

Frederick. Md, who enlarged on some
of the more IMPORTANT points mention
by Dir. Marbury. DR.. j. Il. Mason

children and sounded a warning note
with reference to the necessity of an
early diagnosis, DR.. Gibbons, of

whick was closed by Dr.. Marbury
DR.. j. H. Rowland of the University

on the State Medical and Chirurgical
Society, and outlined the advantages
to be gained by membership in the
society. This talk was particularly
interesting because a great many ply

points in obstetrics. He deplored the
fact that %, 900 mothers die annually
in child birth in the United States. and
gave reasons for these deaths and how
they could be avoided. The discussion
was opened by Dr. Ernest Spencer
