Notes of Art and Artists

TALLY to his time engraved and photographed
by Goupil and Braun, and widely distributed,
popular with the public. His early works were
in oil but from 1895 on he painted chiefly IN
water color using exclusively pure wash without
body color The last Is years of his life were
largely passed in Egypt Greece, Sicily, Ceylon
and Italy, during which time he camped with
the Bedouins, lived with the natives in what
ever country he painting and thoroughly
acquainted himself with native life and scenes.
An exhibition of Mr.. Bacon's paintings was
held here years ago in the Moore Gallery, on
Seventeenth street, attracting wide and favor
able attention. Three four of his best works
have passed into the possession Of the National
Gallery Of Art, therefore he is by no means
stranger to Washingtonians, and the present
exhibition will give delightful opportunity for
renewing acquaintance.
- Between 70 and 80 paintings are comprised
in the present showing. The Egyptian subjects
are extremely interesting, showing not only
characteristic Egyptian architectural remains
but those living in this ancient land, and sug-
costing significantly the beautiful color of sun
rise and evening in that land where clouds are
so rare The paintings of Greek temples are
also engaging and his interpretations OF Greek
carvings are superb. Those who visit this exhi-
bition will carry away an impression OF strange
lands beautifully pictured and of an artist whose
talent was not only well developed but sensitive
and admirably trained.
a N excellent half-length portrait of DR.. Samuel
w Stratton, by Margaret Fftzhugh Browne,
was unveiled with appropriate ceremonies at
the Bureau of Standards on March 7. This
the thirtieth anniversary of the founding Of
the Bureau of Standards, and it seemed most
appropriate that upon that occasion portrait
of Dr. Stratton its founder and first director,
should be permanently installed The portrait
is the gift of Henry A. Wise Wood of New York
in appreciation of the invaluable services rem
dered American industry by DR.. Stratton and
the Bureau of Standards.
The portrait shows DR.. Stratton now chair
man of the Corporation of the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology, standing, with his right
hand resting on the back of chair, his left
hand in his trousers pocket, squarely facing the
observer, strongly modelled, vital and an excel
lent likeness-aH that portrait Of this sort
should be.
Margaret Fitzhugh Brown was in Washington
last Spring executing number of commissions
here. She has exhibited regularly for some
years in the Corcoran Gallery's biennials and
has many friends in Washington. Her home
and studio, however, are in Boston.

Employees Are Partners

Employees Are Partners
You may be head of an ex-
tensive business enterprise.
Within the past several
months you have experienced
more worry and have been
called upon to devote more
time and thought to manag-
ing your affairs than ever be-
fore.
At times you think you would
prefer to be an employe with
a fair salary.
But you have never thought
that under present conditions
even the constantly employed
men are having cause to worry.
An employe of the right sort
has an interest in the success
of the coOCern for which he
works.
At times he is afraid that
his salary may be reduced or
that he may be compelled to
accept fewer hours of labor
with consequent cut in income.
The lessened income may not
work any particular hardship
on the family or yourself, if
you are a high salaried man,
and unmarried.
But in most cases a man
who is married finds a direct
effect upon living conditions in
his home, if his income is re-
duced.
Bosses are not the only ones
who are disturbed by changes
in economic conditions in the
business world at the present
time.
The employe knows he may
at any time face a serious con-
dition.

, chores that any woman with a
tenth of my training could do
as well if not better.
More Babies Wanted
We wish to have at least
two more babies. That means
that will be occupied with
such chores until I am 35, at
least. How much contact can
I keep up with the modern
world during such a program?
How much will I be worth as
a citizen by then-as a wife,
as a mother, as an individual?
What will I know beside wash
ing flannels and mixing formu-
las? Don't tell me that I can
take UP life where I left off,
three years ago. You know it
can't be done. I will be a
heavy, weary, dull drudge. Is
THAT EFFICIENCY?
my mother, who is strong
for all our sentimental tradl-
tions, says this is 'woman,s
destiny She says that chill
dren do not thrive without a
mothers care and that real
mothers, of every country, al
ways take care Of their own
children. But this, of course
isn't true.
America is the only civilized
nation that expects it's mothers
to take entire charge OF their
own children. And the leading
continental nations all agree
that children do much better
away from mothers, under the
care of trained attendants. The
poorest European peasant mas
more help in raising her chill
dren than the middle class
American mother"
What's the Answer?
There's the letter. What's
your answer? Do you believe
that an American mother
should take care of her own
baby-that she should speno
her time doing mechanical
chores? Do you believe that a
child thrives best under moth
er's care? But the greatest
European men and women
were reared by nurses-were
placed in boarding schools at
an early age.
And how will you answer that
other question, What will I be
at IS? What will know OF
my world-how can I guide my
child-if spend my own youth
washing bottles?"

Calls Awarding of
Contracts unjust"
Editor. The Times:

Editor The Times:
There seems to be negligence
on the part of some Of our city
fathers to favor outside compe-
tition. I was informed by an
official of the Federal Trade
Commission that all was not
legal. He seemed to think there
was business that should inter
est the Department Of Justice.
If such is the case I wish the
Department of Justice would
give same it's attention.
In the recent awards Of Dis
trict government work to South
ern firms, and especially in the
building industry, the Washing
ton firms had unfair compet1-
ton, in that the Southern firms
had a free field in which to work
its low waged workmen and no
competition to meet on its own
basis of low salaried workmen.
I have been informed by one
who is in the Building Inspect
or's office that the Southern
firm was the only one Of its kind
that bid against our local con-
tractors. I don't believe there
was ever before an instance so
open of unfair competition, de-
nying the local contractors an
even chance of securing the con-
tracts when let.
This Southern firm, if their
correspondence is viSualized and
where the bids were written, will
prove, I believe, it is kind of in
terstate and that might be a
cause whereby the unfairness is,
I believe, "a little bold in its
way" to quote the officials
opinion.
I respectfully request anyone
interested in this matter to refer

Great Work in Advertising

An outstanding piece of civic and patriotic
done by the Washington Chamber of Commerce. Sidney Lust
president Of the local Motion Picture Theaer Owners and
Julian Brylaws in getting Warner Brothers produce
great screen picture of Washington to advertise this city and
the events coming next years.
The picture, which Warner Brothers will make of
$4,000 contribution to Bcentennal success will be
derfu bit Of realistic advertising for which all Washington
people will thank this big film
This picture will exhibit the places in Washington nearby
that are closely connected with the history George Washing
ton After ALL though will portray this great National City
in thrilling way.
No civic achievement in the history of Washington stands
higher in its possibilities of good than this and should
honor the organization and the brought it about not
forgetting the generosity Of Warner Brothers and their deep
interest in Washington

ReplacingEinstein Theory

dated, known as space-time.
The assumptions made by Elm
stein imply the functionality Of
time with space coordinates.
Different coordinate systems,
implying different motions, in
volve different time measures.
All those weird complications of
which the Einstein theory is
full are inescapable conse-
quences of the basic assump-
tion.
Space time is a four-dimen-
sional curved space form: and
this is inherent in EinStein's
initial assumption. Similar
statements may be made re
garding other fundamental en-
titles; mass, energy, accelera-
ton and the like. The conse-
quences of Einstein's theory
cannot be avoided. The equa-
tions are ,mathematically cor
rect, the agreement with expert
ment is satisfactory. Conse.
quently, there seems to be but
one alternative-to accept the
equations, but to interpret them
in a different way. MacKaye
is not alone in considering the
theory of relativity an amaz-
ingly ingenious bit of mathe-
matical sleight of hand, the
last resort of a dexterous jug
gler of complicated formulas.
BaSicalIy Physical Theory
MacKaye sets out to replace
Einstein's> essentially mathe,
matical and geometrical theory
by a basically physical theory
The foundation of the new
theory is radiation, a force as
universal and as pervasive in
the universe as gravitation.
Perhaps gravitation is merely
one of the large scale phe-
nomena of radiation. Matter
and ether are restored to a
fundamental place in the cos
mos, in this new theory. They
are supposed to exist, as it
were, in a sea of radiation. Ra-
diation pressure is the doml-
rant force, the prime motor, in
MacKaye's universe; and to this
influence the change of motion
of matter is subject and sub
servient.

The Washington times., 1931-03-24

Although opponents Of Elm
STEMS theories make themselves
mildly vocal from time to time,
in the fruitless effort to pick
flaws in the impeccable mathe-
matical structure of relativity,
no serious attempt to subvert
and overthrow this structure
has been made until very re-
Gently. Now Prof. James Mac
Kaye, of Dartmouth College,
has put forward an alternative
theory, which he has sketched
in outline in a fascinating work
entitled, 'The Dynamic Uni
verse" It will probably be
years before all the features Of
the new theory are clearly out
lined, and their implications
developed in mathematical and
physical equations.
It has, long been recognized
that relativity is a mathematl-
cal, even more than a physical,
theory. Many scientists have
protested against the intricate
mathematics involved in rela-
tiyity, and in general against
the geometrisation of physics.
Einstein bases his general rela-
tivity theory upon the idea OF
space structure.
These structures may vary
in proportion to the strength,
of the electromagnetic fields
set up by hot masses Of radl-
ating matter. At a great dis
tance from such influences, the
space structure approximates TO
the simplest type, the familiar
Euclidean structure. The nearer
we approach to a large rnass OF
radiating matter, the greater
variation from the Euclidean
model is found.
Not of Space Alone
Moreover, the structure is not
merely that Of space alone.
Time enters as a variable, with
a character similar to that OF
a dimension of spatial charac-
ter. The space structure varies
from instant to instant, per-
haps. while retaining its gen
eral character. This is what Is
meant by the strange ANAL
sam. never yet adequately eluci'
