MATTER AND ENERGY

IN new hook. soon to be published,
DR.. Albert Einstein attempts TO Ioiilu-
late a law to explain all matter from the
tiniest neutron to the tremendous gaiaA-
les that sparkle in the skies to hint Oh an
amazing universe
DR.. Einstein. in an earlier volume, ex-
pounded his now famous doctrine q feia-
tivity. What it means is not clearly I'M
derstood by many persons but Herpert
B. Nichols gives a few hints OF the I'M
portance Of the theory by pointing out
that, for many centuries, men thought IN
terms Of length, breadth and thickness.
Einstein added the element of time, show
ing that when we consider matter, we
must acknowledge that it has entity IN
time as well as space.
Out of this emerged the concept that
matter and energy are equal; that they
are one and the same; that matter Is
merely frozen" energy and energy is
FLUID" matter. Added to this idea, in the
theory of relatively, is the factor of in
ertia Coupled together by the famous
mathematician, in a general theory of rela-
tivity, the thesis won instant support from
other mathematicians who hailed the de-
duetions and reasoning of DIR. Einstein
Mr. Nichols says that proof of the Elm
stein theory is seen in the fact that when
starlight passes through a gravitational
field it is bent. Additional evidence stems
from the atomic bomb which merely
changes the matter of uranium nuclei in
to energy, the fluid form. Gravitation
itself remained somewhat of puzzle and
the new theory eEpounded by Einstein
seeks to bring all forms of matter and mo-
ton into one universal law.

Dawn would be the critical hour,
Valse knew. They must find their
quarry and try something by then,
or not at all. But he was ready
enough to rest. He had had no
sleep at all the night before. and
ut was the sensible thing to do.
The aroma Of coffee awoke him.
Nothing had changed during their
few hours of sleep. The night was
still black, chill and silent It was
that AlITpervading silence which
worried both men Interestingly
now, though neither Of them mem
TONED it.
It seemed as though luck had
turned against them. Somewhere
back in here, though the sound
was lost behind the hills, war
drums must have begun throb-
bling before the sun went down.
That sound, growing IN intensity,
would last throughout the night.
If they could find where the
braves were making medicine,
there would be a chance to take
the next step.
'They have to be back in here
somewhere" de Polo broke the
silence, irritation in his voice.
There's nowhere else for them to
be-"
THIS was strange Homecoming

of it. True, he had finally been
vindicated, and the Gun would be
hist they could check Zachary
in this last mad gamble for power.
But even the Gun was a little
thing now.
He had dreamed Of peace. and
here, somewhere in these hills,
war was being brewed, A deadly
witch 81 brew.
Z Now they were well back in the
hills, which were getting higher,
mile by mile. Deep canyons rent
the earth: the slopes of the noun
tains were blanketed by ever
green's. The lack of any moon or
stars was hampering, for here
there were no landmarks visible,
nothing to guide them save their
knowledge of the country in gem
eral.

Nearly every business man thinks he
has to work very, very hard
HOW'S YOUR HEALTH?

Just as a great business takes an in
ventory to ascertain its condition, every in
dividual at least once a year should seek
to find out the true status of his or her
physical condition.
We hear much talk about regular ex-
amlnations to discover the existence of
dread diseases in order that proper treat
ment may safeguard the body and restore
1t to health. Certainly, this is sound adj
vice for all readers of The Key West
Citizen to follow.
If you haven't had a physical checkup
lately go to your family doctor and per-
suade him to look you over See if your
heart and other vital organs have been
impaired. If there is anything wrong,
follow the advice that you get and see if
you can't repair the damage that has al
ready been done.
Parents of Monroe County might
well start the habit in their children. Take
them to the doctor and have them care
fully examined. Not only should they be
tested for bodily ills but eyes, noses,
threats and teeth should receive critical
examination Tests for sound hearing often
reveal unsupported defects.

TELEVIsIoN PROSPECTS

There are 100000 television receiv-
ers in use in the United States, according
to trade sources, which predict that, even
tually, the number will approach the g.
600, 900 radio sets now installed.
The cast of television transmission has
retarded the development of networks but
these are beginning to operate in limit
ed area Gradually there will be further
extension and some day the people of the
nation will be able to see, as we'll as hear,
special events.
Just as there was speculation in the
earlier days of the radio as to the effect
of the new device upon the habits of the
people, there is now discussion as to what
effect the television sets will have upon
our family life.
The answer is that there won't be
much difference Much depends, of course,
upon the type of programs that are sent
out on television. The new device has an
opportunity to become great educational
factor but unless it does better in this re-
spect than the radio, one need not expect
much more than the added facility of
vision TO programs of doubtful value.

ment for personal property.
The total public utilities col
lections this year will include

anticipated an increase OF more
than 100000 in personal props
erty taxes, most Of which was

Lamb and Pork
Show Declines
In Price Here =
Beef and Veal Costs
Unchanged; Eggs
Take Slight Rise

Lamb and pork prices have
taken a tumble in Washington's
food markets, a survey today dis
closed.
Lamb loin chops were down
from $1.29 pound of last week to
SO cents. one large chain store
said. Leg of Lamb was down from
rs to SO cents a pound and
shoulder roast was cut from SO to
SO cents per pound.
Similarly, pork center chops
were down from 95 to 70 cents a
pound. Whole loin pork roast de-
clined from rs to 63 cents a pound.
These price declines reflected a
brief dip in livestock prices during
the last two weeks. The declines
apparently will be short-lived as
reports from the Chicago and
Baltimore livestock markets indi-
Gated a rising trend.
Beef and veal prices remained
unchanged, officials said.
Eggs Show Slight Increase,
Egg prices went up 2 cents a
dozen on the larger size and
cent on the smaller, officials
pointed out.
Now at the peak of the harvest
season. fresh fruits and vege-
tables are plentiful. cheap and
good, food experts asserted.
With cooler weather and the
back-to-school movement, food
stores looked forward to a squirt
lin business.
The Associated Press attributed
the slump In fresh pork prices
over the country to the housewife
baking at paying higher rates. It
said this informal sort of boycott
Immediately brought some relief.
Food Price Index Declines.
It declared that black pepper,
which sold for as little as cents
a pound wholesale in prewar 1899,

The business research organi-
zation Of Dun g. Bradstreet found
