Sacrifice Demanded

NEITHER Japan, nor any other
L ' nation in similar mood, can be
stopped by good advice. What she
is doing should disillusion every one
on that score.
Like every other great, con-
structive. movement in human his
tory, the one dedicated to a new
international order is going to de-
mand firmness and sacrifice. Those
who think otherwise dwell in a fools
heaven.
Except her path is blocked by real
obstacles, Japan will go right ahead
until she gets what she wants in
eastern Asia. What she wants is
beyond definition, even by her own
leaders at this time, because it will
increase with every successful
move.
just now she wants Manchuria
and, perhaps, a part of Mongolia.
When she gets them, she will dis
cover that something more is
essential to her beneficent domina-
ton.
A fire can be stopped easiest at the
start; SO can imperialism. The
longer the world delays putting a
check on Japan, the more blood it
will involve.

Heart Pains Not Always Serious

Carey F. Coombs, famous British
physician interested in research of
the heart.
On the other hand, he says, there
are cases in which extreme pain is
suffered in the region of the heart
and in which no serious damage is
found when the heart is examined
after death.
In few instances are pains in the
body sufficient in themselves to
merit the dignity Of diseases. They
are, in most instances, symptoms of
diseases associated with changes in
organs.
There are two instances in which
pains are in themselves apparent
ly the chief factor in the disease;
namely, the facial neuritis that is
called trigeminal neuralgia, and the
serious pain in the region of the
heart known as angina pectoris.

pain in the heart. Probably most
frequent are those vague discom-

DAM is a danger signal. For that
l. very reason, however, nature
has placed limitations on our aware
ness of pains. Otherwise. we con-
Stantly should be in dread.
For that reason also pain seldom
is felt in any of the internal or
gans unless there is some powerful
stimulus such as swelling of an or
gan in its envelope or an excessive
contraction of any of the hollow or
gans of the body, such as the intes-
tines or the tubes which carry away
the eXcretions.
Because the heart is such vital
organ, it may sometimes undergo
fairly extreme changes before
arousing sufficient pain to cause ex-
ceeding distress.
This fact is emphasized by DR..

ERIENDS of Herbert Hoover are
Il prone to say that he should not
be assailed for bad guesses, even if
guesses turned out to be wrong. They
argue that the President Of the
United States, even if member of
the Republican party, ranks little
lower than the prophets.
But this defense wholly overlooks
the plain facts. The chief quarrel
of the American public with the
current occupant of the White
House is not that he guesses wrong,
but that he guessed and said with
every ounce of authority inherent in
his office: I'm not giving an
opinion. I'm telling you"
Mr.. Hoover did not say that he
surmised prosperity was just around
the corner. He spoke as one who
personally had sighted the fugitive.
And upon at least dozen
occasions he announced the return
of better times as if the released
dove and its olive leaf had been in
conference with him some morning at
the Blue Room.

After the ArmiStiCe
THE Einstein theory again will

THE outbreak of the World war
Il in 1914 found Einstein still hard
at work upon his study of the uni
verse. In 1915 he completed his
general theory of relatively.
This theory contained certain
ideas about the nature of the uni
verse which could be tested at an
eclipse of the sun. But no such
tests could be made while the war
was in progress. The tests were
made after the armistice.
Two British expeditions set out
to observe the solar eclipse of 1919.
They were sent by the Greenwich
observatory and the Cambridge OBJ
Servatory. One expedition went 10
Brazil, the other to Africa-for the
eclipse track cut across both South
America and Africa.
The African expedition was
troubled by clouds, but the Brazil
expedition obtained very good pic
lures, in spite of instrumental diff
culties.
Einstein had predicted that if
CAREFUL measurements were made
of the positions of star images on
the eclipse plates, they would be
found shifted out of position.
1t will be recalled that when the
dark disc of the moon obscures the
sun, the brighter stars become
visible.
EinStein said that the images of
these stars would be shifted away
from the sun. He said that this
was due to the fact that space in
the neighborhood of the sun was
warped by the suns gravitational
field, so that the rays of light from
the stars were bent in toward the
sun as they passed it.
This bending would make the
star images appear to be shifted
outward on the plate.
When the 1919 eclipse plates were
measured, they showed the Einstein
shift. And as a result, the whole
world began to talk about RELATIVELY
