American Visit

II NSTEIN'S decision to visit
u America and his subsequent
arrival in New York were the chief
items of world gossip as 1880 drew
to a close.
It is the fact that Eirstein IS go
ing to spend his time in America
in Pasadena at the California Insti-
tute of Technology and the nearby
Mt. Wilson observatory that inclines
this writer to predict that Einstein
again will furnish headlines for the
newspapers in 1881.
The most important tests OF the
Einstein theory have been made at
Mt. Wilson. It was there that DIR.
Charles z. st. John established the
existence Of the so-called Einstein
shift in the spectrum lines Of the
sun.
One Of the great advances Of as
tronomy in 1880 was the confrn1a-
ton Of the curvature of space pre-
dicted by Einstein. This work was
joint venture CT the astronomers
at Mt. Wilson and the mathema-
ticians at the California Institute Of
Technology,
In Pasadena, Einstein will be IN
daily conversation with these men,
He also will be with DR.. r. A. Mill
kan, discoverer of the cosn1ic rays,
and with Professor Albert A. Mich
elson, who devised the experiment
upon which the relatively theory
was originally predicated.

An exchange of ideas among such
geniuses Of the scientific world is
bound to produce results. At Mt.
Wilson,. the worlds largest telescope
and some Of the most skillfuI as
tronomers in the world are at Elm

The California Institute of Tech
nology offers Einstein marvellous
laboratory equipment and the CO.
operation of brilliant physicists and
mathematician.

Who were selected for the all

Who were selected for the all
America football team In 1929?
Since the death Of Walter Camp
whose annual selection Of an all
America college football team was
generally regarded as official, prac-
tically every sports writer has made
an annual selection Of such a team.
This has resulted in scores of such
teams being published, but none
have ever attained the recognition
accorded the selections of Walter
Camp. There was no official all
America football team for 1929.

his limbs by the use Of appropriate
remedies while attempts are being
made to discover the exact causes.
It already is recognized that a
tendency to this disorder may run
in families, because certain types
Of people are more frequently at
tackled by the disease than others.
1t is recognized that the condi-
ton is not merely Inflammation In
one joint, but that profound changes
take place throughout the human
body, affecting the blood, the other
fluids in the body, and tissues
sometimes far removed from the
spot in which the pain Is localized.
For years it has been understood
that infection in the teeth and in
the tonsils might be responsible for
setting up determinations far dis
tant.
It now Is recognized that these
factors are of the greatest inpor-
lance and should be controlled when
present, but that infections may ex-
list in other parts Of the body and
be directly related to pains In the
Joints.

Editor. Journal of the American Medical
Association and of Hygeia. the Health
Magazine.
TODAY medical investigators are
l. giving more attention to rfeu-
matism and rheumatic disorders
than ever before in the history Of
medical science.
There are clinics In every large
medical center for studying and
treating this disease.
One Of the reasons for this at
tention, as pointed out by DR.. Ralph
Pemberton, is the realization OF
the fact that pain in the joints
and in the muscles and many of the
other conditions generally classified
as rheumatic are responsible for a
tremendous amount of disability in
industrial workers and that the cost
Is a great economic problem.
In true scientific medicine, the
method of attack on the disease is
first to discover the cause and then
to attempt to eliminate the cause,
rather than to treat the symptoms
OF course, a competent physician
can relieve the patient Of his pain

PESTALoZZPS BIRTH
January IL


ON Jan. IL, 1746, Johann Pesta-
" lozzi, Swiss educational re-
former and the chief founder Of
modern pedagogy, was born at
Zurich.
He first became interested in the
problems of education at the Uni
versity Of Zurich. When he mar
ried a few years later, and settled
down on his 1o0-acre estate, he de-
cided to study the child problem
at first hand by turning his farm
into an asylum for the industrial
education of the young. The ven
ture proved failure.
After a period Of eighteen years
of financial distress and correspond
ing period of great literary activity,
he founded, with governmental sup
port, a school for poor children at
Stanz. Later he conducted schools
in other cities.
The idea which lay at the basis
Of his method of intellectual in
struction was that everything should
be treated in a concrete way.
Almost all Pestalozzi's methods
now are adopted In the elementary
schools Of Europe and America.

TOR instance, in the New York
Il Tribune, Mr.. Coolidge was quite
clear in stating his attitude on pub
lie ownership. He wrote:
1.-THE government never has shown
much aptitude for real business.
The congress will not permit it to
be conducted by competent execu-
tive, but constantly intervenes.
1.-THE most free, progressive and
satisfactory method ever devised
for the equitable distribution OF
property is to permit the people to
care for themselves by conducting
their own business. They have
more wisdom than any government"
This, take it, is a fair expression

Einstein Expected to Be IN
Spotlight of World Neaos
Again IN 1881.
BY DAVID DIETZ.

Spotlight of World Net0s
Again in 1891.
PREDICTIONS always are dan-
L gerous. But it seems reason
ably safe to hazard the opinion that
Prof Albert Einstein will furnish
the big scientific news Of 1881.
A review Of scientific events for
the past year reveals that the Ger
man theoretical physicist was the
"bie news" of 1880, just as he had
been in 1929, and ten years before
that, In 1919.
Finstein's ability to hold the pub
lie eye Is perhaps one OF the chief
marks of his greatness. One read
during 1880 with surprise OF the
celebrations Of the 18th anniversary
of the theory of relatively. The
theory seems so new, so ultra
modern, and yet 1t is q quarter
century old.
It was in 1905 that Einstein first
proposed his special theory OF rela-
tivity, the same year in which, by
the way, he published another
epoch-making paper which led to
the development of the quantum
theory, theory quite as revolution
airy as relatively.
The quantum theory holds that
energy consists of tiny particles and
not waves. It upsets classical no.
tons of mechanics, just as relatively
overturns old notions Of space, time,
ard motion.
In 1915, Einstein extended the
special theory Of relatively into the
general theory of relatively. THIS,
general theory contained the IRE
diction Of the shift Of star ine yes
on eclipse photos. the verif1cation Of
which led to Einstein's fame after
the end Of the World war.

taking their places, were forgotten last
night during the fire that destroyed
the Home of the Little Sisters of the
Poor.
"Don't stop me now, buddy" pleaded
a cab driver to two men who menaced
him as they mounted the running
board of his machine. I'm going out
to haul some of the old people hurt in
the fire at the home"

told of the fire. They got into the front
seat and when they reached the home
helped the driver carry injured persons
to a nearby hospital
While embalmers went silently about
their grim work among the rows OF
dead in the County Morgue today
city and county officials joined in
checking over the records of the Home
of the Little Sisters of the Poor in the
hope of reaching definite toll OF those
who lost their lives in last nights fire.
Meanwhile, crowds milled about the
bleak stone building. Eager ones whose
kin or friends were listed among the
inmates Of the home mingled with the
merely curious.
Sister Agatha, mother superior of the
institution, and Sister Mary Louise, her
assistant, braved the flames TO lead
firemen to the office In which the
records of the home were kept. These
books later were turned over to the
coroner's office.

MYSTERY PAIR TRIES

Object of Foreigners Pos
ing as Aero Men.

The story Of an attempt by two I'M
authorized foreigners to get into the
Langley Memorial Laboratories Of the
National Advisory Committee for Aero
nautics by posing as members of the
National Aeronautic Association Is being
investigated by the association today.
The two men attempted to buy steam
ship tickets at Mayfiower Hotel conven-
ton headquarters to accompany men,
bers of the National Aeronautic ASsoci-
alton on the trip leaving Washington
yesterday evening, it was learned. They
were refused the tickets when John F.
Victory, secretary Of the National Ad-
visory Committee for Aeronautics and
treasurer Of the National Aeronautic
Association, got wind of the incident.
Special Permits. Required.
1T is against the law for representa-
tiveS Of foreign governments to go
through the Langley Field laboratories
without special permission from our
Government" Victory said. IT do not
know who these men are but do not
think they had any business at Langley
Field. If they are oficial representa-
tives Of a foreign government their
action was entirely improper and I
think it Is a matter with which the
State Department should deal"
It was explained that the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics,
which is the aviation research body of
the Federal Government, has at Langley
Field research equipment which has
not been duplicated anywhere IN the
world.

1--WE feel that the United States is
many years ahead Of any other coun-
try in its aeronautical research work, "
one Of the officials of the National
Aeronautic Association explained in
discussing the alleged spy scare"
II understand that no representative
Of a foreign government ever has had
an opportunity to examine the Lang
ley Field equipment, though many have
expressed a desire to do So"
Equipment at Langley Field, which,
it is said, exists nowhere else in the
wind tunnel, high-speed wind tunnel,
full-scale wind tunnel and seaplane
channel The full-scale tunnel and sea-
plane channel have just been completed
and test work In them now Is getting
under way.
Ofacials of the association have the
name and New York address of one Of
the two men, but have not yet decided
what action they will take, 1t was said
today. The National Aeronautic Asso-
citation Is composed Of local chapters In
virtually every large city IN the country
and numbers thousands of members, all
of whom were eligible to make the trip
