.1PLUS | EQUALS1
IN NEW ALGEBRA
Mathematicians Also Find
an Infinite Number of
Dimensions.
BY Stan Correspondent of The star.

BY Stan Correspondent Of The star.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, April IS
"A group Of brilliant boy mathema-
! ticians had gray professors scratching
bearded chins here yesterday As they
expounded a new kind Of algebra
geometry in which:
x plus x equals X.
x times x equals x.
There are not only the three d.
mensions Of ordinary spaces, but an
infinite number Of dimensions and
all sorts Of fractions OF dimensions.
There may be ways of reducing the
most involved sort Of legal document
to ordinary common sense.
This Is the algebra geometry OF
"lattices" to which the American
Mathematical Society. meeting at the
University OF Virginia, devoted the
| afternoon.
Among those who Joined in the ex-
position were DR.. M. H. Stone Of Har-
ward University, son of Justice Stone
Of the Supreme Court; Garrett 'Birk-
hoff, also Of Harvard and son OF last
years president OF the American As
sociation for the Advancement of
Science. and John Won Neumann,
youthful Hungarian mathematical
genius who has developed In the past
few years the newest thing in ad-
vanced mathematics-cont ee-
ometry.
The algebra geometry Of lattices,
veteran methematicians attending the
meeting declared, is one of the most
powerful mathematical tools ever
placed at the disposal of science. Lots
OF things can be done with it, they
think, when science catches up with
it. as Einstein caught up with the
hyper-dimension geometry of Rie-
mann after 30 years.
A lattice" as defined by Mr.. Birk-
hof who bore the brunt of the expo
sition. is a system in which two
operations, addition and multiplica-
ton, are defined with the following
properties:
x plus Y equals Y plus X
x times Y equals Y times x.
x squared equals x.
Two Xes equal X
Offhand this doesn't seem to fit into
anything in the real world where one
plus two equals three-except when
a fellow is struggling over an income
tax return-but one plus one does not
equal one and those who find that it
does get mean letters from the COL
lector Of internal revenue.
But for an example in which these
apparently contradictory lattice equa-
| tions are true Mr.. Birkhoff cited the
juxtaposition of two planes. A plane
has length and breadth, but no thick
ness. So when one is placed on top
Of the other with all points coinciding
there is only bne plane and one plus
one has equa\ed one instead of two.
The same is true for any indentical-
ly dimensioned geometrical figures. In
real life, Of course, it is not possible
to slip two cubes or two solid balls
inside each other 50 that all the points
of both coincide, but it can be done
mathematically.
DR.. Won Neumann's fractional di-
mensions are pretty difficult for the
layman to comprehend at this stage
OF course, nobody can possibly expe-
rience more than three dimensions

PARKING
meter PLACED

Installation Of 310 parking
eters throughout downtown
Washington began today.
Under an authorization of Cong
ress and at cost of $44.45 each,
the automatic meters will be tried
as an experiment for one year.
AS recommended by Traffic Di'
rector William A. Van Duzer, the
meters operate on 20 minute and
60 minute periods, at a parking
cost to the motoriSt of five cents
depending on where the zone is
located.
Drivers must pay for using the
metered zones between $50 a. m
and 4 p. m. but may stop for the
purpose of loading or unloading
merchandise and passengers in the
zones between 8 a. m. and 9:3C
a. m. and between 4 and 6 p. m.
Before 8 a. m. and after 6 p. m.
passenger vehicles may use the
zones without charge.
First of the 80 meters to be in
stalled was erected at E and
Eleventh SITS. N. w. The north
side of E Street from Eleventh tc
Fourteenth Street is one of the
downtown areas to be tested in
the plan.
Enforcement of the paid park
ing is up to the Police Department
while the Collector of Taxes will
be responsible for gathering the
nickel levies on the motorists.
