CIVIC GROUP PLANS
UNITED FIGHT FOR
IMPROVEMENT AID.
Southwest Association Calls
Mass Meeting to Get Share
of Public Funds.
SCHOOL AND PLAYGROUND
DEVELOPMENTS SOUGHT
Low.Cost Housing Project Will Be
Offered as Area Seeks to
Regain Place.

A drive for improvement Of school,
playground and housing facilities in
Southwest Washington Will be launched
at mass meeting called for 8 O'Clock
tomorrow night in NeighborhoOd House,
470 N street southwest, by the South
west Citizens Association.
Stirred by the conviction that they
have been Disseminated against, the
citizens of the community are planning
an aggressive bid for their full share of
public Improvements, according to j.
M. Schaffer. Department of Agriculture
chemist and president of the associa-
tion.
Among Improvements to be proposed
at the meeting will be a low-cost hous-
ing project which might be financed
from public works funds.
Opposition Is Expected.
This proposal, Mr.. Schaffer admitted,
probably will be fought by property own
ers of the community, but 200 of them
have received special invitations to the
meeting to give them an opportunity to
be heard on the question.
Other ObJectiveS on program to re-
store this old section of the city to its
former favor as a residential area are
the authorization of an appropriation
for new Jefferson Junior High School
site and building. the enlargement OF
Hoover Playground at Third and N
streets southwest. the establishment OF
a Community Center for the area and
the replacement of old brick sidewalks.
Mr.. Schaffer pointed out that the
present Jefferson Junior High School,
at Sixth and D streets southwest, is the
oldest building in the city now occupied
for school purposes, and was con-
demned years ago.
Appropria ton Expired.
An appropriation of 100000 was
made to erect a new building, but de-
lay in acquiring the site through con-
demnation proceedings resulted in the
expiration of an appropriation for part
of the ssite. Mr.. Schaffer said. The
result has been that school authorities
/ have opposed starting construction on
the building until the entire site can
be acquired.
With regard to Hoover Playground,
Mr.. Schaffer said that the Federal
Government already owns adjoining
property suitable for playground de-
velopment. The present playground IS
inadequate for the needs 81 the COM
munity.
The fact that many sidewalks In the
Southwest are of antiquated brick con-
struction will be brought up at the ses-
sion. -,
Despite these drawbacks citizens OF
the community are convinced the
Southwest has decided advantages as a
residential area. particularly in view
of its accessibility to Government de-
partments and the business district.

"ESCAPED' PATENT IN d. C.. HOTEL

the office of DR.. Joseph c. Bloodgood,

When DR.. Weagelforth's departure

Baltimore police were asked to keep an
eye on DR.. Bloodgood's Office and Miss
Krauses home. as he knew both Of

Misinterpreting the nature of the

Back of Neck Most Distant

rersity Explains Fantastic Theory
of Structure of Space.

equal One must contain the other,
yet one must be equal to the other.
That is precisely the mess ones
thinking gets into, Able LIE Maitre said,
in an attempt to follow through which
seems obvious in thinking of time and
space. Compared to it. the wierdest
ideas of hyper -dimensional mathe-
mates become common sense.
So, If space is finite and curved, If
you went ahead in it in a straight line
as far as you could go you would
eventually arrive at the back of your
own, neck after a few billions of bill
lions of years. Two parallel lines drawn
from the end of your nose and extended
through space indefinitely would come
together there at single point.
The idea that your neck once would
have been just in front Of your nose,
or even in contact with 1t, derives from
DR.. De Maitre's own concept of an ex-
panding universe which started from a
single atom a few billion years ago
In this single atom there was no space
at all. Space came into existence with
the distances separating the fragments
of the exploding atom.
The Euclidean geometry taught in
schools, Father LIE Maitre said. holds per-
fectly we'll for small distanceS"-mat-
tiers of a million light years more or
less. 1t is when the astronomer gets
into the field of millions or millions of
light years that it begins to fall down
and he finds himself in region where
parallel lines do meet and square does
not have four right angles. and a
straight line is not the shortest distance
between two points.
Mathematics and Ideas.
For such a thing as the mathematical
idea of a square, he said, is not real
ity in itself, but only convenient tool
for the description of space. The Eu-
clidean description of square remains
true only in so far as it fits nature, and
a few million light years away one Of
the right angles begins to get twisted.
He said creation might be pictured
as made up of bricks of space The
common sense" ideas of geometry hold
well enough within any one brick in
which the observer happens to be-
But they do not hold for the wall of
space against the outside of nothing
which is built of those bricks
Tine idea of curved space, he said
is not exactly the same as the idea
of a curved surface on a sphere. which
can be equally well represented on a
fiat surface-as in map of the world
1t is conceived of as such that a map
of creation could only be drawn on a
curved surface with distortions at least
equivalent to those involved in draw
ing the map of the world on a fiat
surface.

|O[D-AGE PENSIONS

Mrs. Roosevelt and Advo-
Gates of Bill to Ad-
dress Session.

A public meeting to organize senti-
the District, at which Mrs. Franklin
Delano Roosevelt is to be the principal
speaker. will be held at 8 o'clock tonight
in the auditorium of the United States
Chamber of Commerce Building, H
street and Connecticut avenue.
Congress will consider a bill for es-
tablishment Of such pensions at the
present session, and Representative
Black of New York and Senators Cap
per of Kansas and Copeland of New
York, leading supporters Of the measure
at the Capitol, also will address the
meeting.
The gathering is sponsored by the
Citizens Committee on Old Age Sc
curity for the District, of which Leifur
MagnuSson is chairman; the Council of
Social Agencies, of which DR.. Frederic
W. Perkins is president. and the Mon
day Evening Club, of which Sanford
Bates is president.
Arrangements for the meeting have
been in the hands Of committee con-
sisting of Mr.. Magnusson and Mrs.
Richard Hogue, for the Citizens Com
mittee; Mr.. Bates and Mrs. r. Thomas
West. for the Monday Evening Club,
and Mrs Harry S. Bernton, vice presi-
dent, and Mrs. w. A. Roberts, executive
secretary, for the Council Of Social
Agencies
The three organizations sponsoring
tonight's meeting have been in the fore
front of those supporting old age pen
sions for the District This question
has been discussed for long time a1d
the committee last year succeeded
finally in having bills introduced in
both House and Senate where they are
now pending.
The meeting is open to the public
and because of the prominence of the
speakers and the widespread interest
in old age security, a large crowd is
expected.

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

The most distant object in creation
is-the back of your own neck.
Through the telescope island galaxies
have been sighted million light years
or about 5000, 900 900 600, 100000 miles
distant in space. But compared to
your own collar button, they are right
around the corner. 1t may be a MIL
lion times further still.
Once, however, the back of your neck
would have been right in front OF your
nose-if you had been alive five or
six billion years ago. 1t is getting
farther away all the time.
Your rear collar button is what you
would be looking at if your vision was
unlimited.
These are some of the mathematical
fantasies expounded at Catholic Uni
versity last night by the Able Georges
LIE Maitre in explaining his theory OF
the structure of space. Admittedly
fantastic, the idea of a curved space
that turns back on itself is less fan
tastic. he declared. than the common
sense idea of infinity if carried to its
logical conclusion.
Space and Continuance.
Ordinarily, he pointed out, one would
assume that, starting out through space
it would be possible to move ahead In
straight line forever. Somewhere
there would be last star beyond which
there was nothing. but why not keep
on travelling through nothing forever
and ever? Simply because, Abbe LIE
Maitre said, there would be no space
to move in. Space is the thing which
separates objects and exists only as
there are objects to separate. Con-
sidering creation as physical body
1t must have a surface of space, be-
yond which space does not exist, any
more than the surface of globe ex-
lists beyond itself.
Although laymen may smile at the
mathematical contortions of the rela-
twists, he said. they themselves are IN
a more ludicrous position If they think
through their own naive ideas OF space
and time as infinite for IAN inflnity
demands the conception Of a whole
which is no greater than one OF its
parts"
He illustrated this by Bertrand
Russells paradox of inflnity. One
could count by ones, presumably for
ever. There would always be a next
bigger number than the one just
spoken Equally, one could presumably
count by twos forever However great
any number, two could always be
added to it. Both are inflnities. Yet
one is exactly twice as big an inflnitJ
as the other Yet in1nities, by the
very definition of the word, must bt
