Yes, I know you're miserable.
I know people are unfair to you
and take advantage of you. But
the bitter truth, partner, is that
you've hung that misery on
yourself.
People are unfair to you be-
cause you're unfair to yourself.
It's up to you to protect your
own interests and develop your
own talents. But you haven't
done it. You've let yourself
drift. You've indulged your
cowardice and Stiffness, your
laziness and stupidity. And
then you expected that life
would guard you against the
consequences of your own
cussedness. But Life hasn't.
Life never does. Why should it?
You were given a brain to plan
your destiny, a backbone to pro-
tect it. If you won't use 'em,
whose fault is it?
How do I know these things
about you? Because I know
them about myself. I'm that
way, too.
Muddling Along
muddle along in just the
same way and I pile up just
the same old consequences.
And does Talking Pretty to
me do me any good? Does it
help me to have someone flat
ter me and tell me what a
Grand Gal am, or have a
Good Hard Cry with me when
I'm feeling sunk and pouty?
No, dearie, it does not.
1T MAKES A TRAMP OF
ME.
And it will make a tramp of
you. ,
What you and need, nine
times out of ten, is not a lot of
sweet kisses, but a good, swift
kick in the shin. Then we'd
snap out Of what ails us and
amount to something. And,
secretly, most of us know that
this is true.
But are we grateful when
somebody comes along and
administers that kick?
Just run a column like this
for a while and you'll see how
grateful we-AREN'T.

Long ago, in the Timaeus,
Plato prophesied that the
world could be made intelli-
gible by transcription to a
system of right triangles. Flat
space, as it is called, or Eu-
clidean space as we continue
to call it, really has for It's
criterion the famous PROPOSE
ton named for Pythagoras: the
square on the hypotenuse OF a
right-angled triangle is equal
to the sum of the squares on
the sides. The same thlngG
with notifications, is found TO
be true of all kinds of space
The criterion is what is known
as the line-element. The prln,
ciple of continuity is resorted
to: and the coefficients OF the
line-element the determined by
equations known as difterentlal
equations. These equations
embody in mathematical form
the relations between space
and time, the interactlons Oh
matter and energy.
Universe Is Finite
There is considerable evidence
available nowadays indicating
that the universe is finite. one
such universe was constructed
theoretically by Einstein; and
this universe has been called
the static universe. The other
universe was conceived by the
Dutch physicist and astronomer
D. sitter, who called it the
empty universe. The static uni
verse contains a definite amount
of matter; and the amount OF
matter is definitely connected
with the size of the universe, SO
that it is customary to say: the
more matter, the more room Is
provided for it.
The empty universe, as its
name indicates, contains no
matter; but as De Sitter ex-
presses it. if one particle, or test
body, and one observer were in
troduced into it. the observer
would see a motion of the par
ticle in a direction away from
himself, and with a velocity de-
pending on the distance between
the observer and the test-body

and on the radius Of the uni
verse.
This radius of the universe Is
directly connected with the
amount of matter the universe
contains. IN the static universe,
as it's name implies, the matter
which it contains must be IN
equilibrium. There can be no
systematic velocities, but only
irregular motions. In the empty
universe, however, there can be
systematic motions but no mat
ter.
Is it possible to decide be-
tween the two? Or must we
turn to some other conception?
The observations of aStrophysicS
show that neither the EinStein
nor the De Sitter universe con-
forms to reality, since our
universe contains both matter
and systematic motions. Recent
observations, especially at the
Mount Wilson Observatory, have
revealed that vast celestial OBJ
jects such as extragalactic neb-
ulea, Spirals, elliptical and ir-
regular nabulae, are systems
comparable in size and mass to
our own galactic system.
During the past two years,
the velocities of some Of these
very remote nebulae have been
found to be very large.
Some Velocity!
Until two years ago. the
highest known velocity for a
nebula was 1900 kilometers a
second. Since that time, much
higher velocities have been
found for some of the very
faint and small nebulae.
Some velocities are 1000,
1000 and 5000 kilometers a
second. Very recently HumaGon
has studied an exceedingly re.
mote nebula and found it to
have a velocity of about 1l.O0O
miles a second. For an empty
universe, the velocity Of such a
body and it's distance from us
are IN virtually constant
ratio. Up to the time Of HUI
mason, it was estimated, on the
nebula of highest known We
locity, 5000 kilometers per sec
ond, that the radius Of the
universe was two thousand
million light-yearS.
