Great Scientific Discovery! ••• 9 * # RAYSOF LIGHT NOT ALWAYS STRAIGHT; SOME-MAYBE ALL-ARE CURVED

STAR \ L EARTH

By S. T. HUGHES, Associate Editor Newspaper Enterprise Association. . There’s no escaping these extraordinary German scientists. Here's the war over only a year, and np bobs a Berlin savant, Prof. Alfred Einstein of the University of Berlin. Did you ever have a serious fall—a sheer drop that was great enough to shock you severely, if it did not breaa a leg? Yes? Well, did you have time at that Instant to note Impressions? A man falling from a tile roof in Berne, Switzerland, in 1994, had Impressions as he fell and one was that the earth seemed to come up and hit him. A young German patent office clerk saw the accident and heard this impression from the injured man’s lips a moment later. The patent office clerk was Alfred Einstein, and the incident started him studying the science of “velocities." The result was a discovery over which the v. hole scientific world is breathless today. PERHAPS AM, RAYS , V IMMEASURABLY CTRVED. The theory is exceedingly complex for the layman. Fortunately, the chief point in the discovery Is clqar as well as interesting. Briefly, it is this; That a ray of light, the swiftest thing 5n all velocity, is not necessarily a straight line, as we have always supposed. It is often curved —very much

DEFENDS ACTS OF DIPLOMATS Frenchman Says Secrecy Was Necessary in Peace Work. LONDON, Jan. 22.—Paul Cambon. French ambassador and dean of the foreign diplomatic service in London, defends secret diplomacy and the methods used by President Wilson and other delegates In framing the peace treaty of Versailles. “At the present time,” said Ambassador Cambon, “diplomacy is receiving but. few compliments. People seem to regard us as a little obsolete because wo have a habit of speaking in a low voice. “Yet, before the war, diplomatists did not fail to warn their governments of what was being prepared; during the war they strove to extend onr‘alliances and devoted themselves to avoiding the friction that was liable to occur in a coalition such as had never been seen before. But since the war there is constant talk of the uselessness of diplomacy. BACKS UP HIS VIEW WITH FACTS. “First of all, it Is reproached with its attachment to tradition. Another reproach is that of carrying on secret diplomacy. T own that I have never understood what people mean by secret diplomacy in a free country, where the governments can not conclude any agreement of a nature to hind the policy of a nation without having recourse to parliament. “People mean, perhaps, the negotiations preparatory to an agreement and try to compel ns to transact all business in public. Can one Imagine in any business, either political or private, negotiations being carried on in the full light of day? Can you see a financier, a merchant, a manufacturer giving his schemes and dronverations to publicity? In the case of discussion between governments discretion is still more necessary because our controversies may arouse national susceptibilities, and questions easy of settlement between diplomatists become insoluble if “armour propxe" comes into play. With publicity negotiations we should have a war every morning. DIPLOMATS WORK TO REMOVE CAUSE. “It is said sometimes that If there were no doctors there would be no sick people, and malicious people add that If there were no diplomatists there would be no conflicts between the peoples. That shows but little acquaintance with us, and I can certify that the principal care of a diplomatist worthy of the name Is to work for compromises and the removal of the causes of conflict—in a word, the maintenance of peace. “There will always be sick people, there will always be causes of quarrel between the nations, and doctors and diplomatists will always have to be called.” Car Line Ordered to Rush Paving The Indianapolis Street Railway Company was ordered yesterday by the board of works to Lave the pavement along Us right of way on East Washington street, between Audubon road and Sheridan Venue, completed by May 1. The use of Tomlinson hall for a state conference of pastors, to be held March 1 to 3, under auspices of the Interchure’n World Movement, was granted. The board confirmed resolutions to pave Tenth street, from Illinois street to West street. A letter was received dfrom G. M. Backstahler of the Indianapolis Belting Company complaining of chuckholes on Pearl street, between Senate and Capitol avenues. It was referred to the street commissioner. Newborn Baby Weighs 17 and Half Pounds OIL CITY, Pa., Jan. 22.—One of the biggest young men In medical records arrived here recently. A fourth child was born to Mr. and Mrs. John Thompson of this city, and proved to be such a prodigious chap that the attending staff of physicians and nurses could hardly wait to get him on a pair of scales. They found he weighed seventeen and a half pounds. The other children are of normal weight, but two of them, twins, together didn't compare with their brother for bulk. Physicians say Oil City will hold the heavyweight baby championship for a long time. Pie Saves Woman From Serious Injury PLEASANTON, Cal., Jan. 22.—A pie saved the life, or at least serious injury, of Mrs. Mary Waterhouse of this cityT She was carrying the pie to a window sill, where it was to cool, when a bullet, piercing the glass, tore into the pie, struck the pie tin and glanced aside.

curved. Perhaps all rays of light, as they shoot through immeasurable space, are more or less curved. If a ray of light is not a straight line, what in all the universe is straight? To scientists the answer of this question affects the laws of gravitation; affects most of the laws of the heavens, and of the earth and of all space. How do we know that Einstein’s theory is the real thing, and that he la entitled to sit in the same pew with Newt op and Galileo? Proqf plain-aS your nose.

William Henry, a former Indianapolis saloon keeper, was fined SIOO und sentenced to sixty days in jail in the city court some time ago on n charge of violating the state liquor law. Today Judge James Coll/ns of the criminal court ordered a Jury to find Henry not guilty on the appeal, as there was no conclusive evidence that Henry was the owner of the whisky seized by the police. The jury carried out the court’s Instructions and Henry was cieaTed of the charge. He claimed that he was in Illinois at the time the whisky was found. The whisky in evidence was ordered returned to Chief Kinney. The federal authorities will probubly be advised that a large cargo Is on baud and unclaimed. The whisky Is valued, at present prices at $1,500, Judge Collins stated. JACKSON TAKES STATE OFFICE Edward-'Jackson of Lafayette this afternoon accepted the appointment of secretary of state. He called upon G6v. Goodrich, notified him that he would accept and immediately entered upon his duties. Mr. Jackson gave up the office t& enter the army and was succeeded by William A. Roach, who died last Saturday. High Costs Follow Victims_t° Grave PITTSBURG, Jan. 22 Physicians hereabouts not long ago raised their fees. Then the nurses demanded an Increase. The druggists lifted the cost of medicines. The undertaker revised his schedule upward. Now- the tombstone mnn declares he must have 20 per cent more for perpetuating a man’s memory. “Tt’s a hard game, this tombstone making,” said one manufacturer here. “Everything has gone np but our efiarges. We’re not profiteers like some others, though. We only ask for a person’s money when they have no further use for it” “Hip Flask” Baby’s Bottle; Agent Sold WINNEMUCCA, Neb., Jan. 22.—Frank Reber, revenuei officer here, is on the lookout for violations of the prohibition act. ‘ Reber, boarding a train, kept his ears open for any chance scraps of information of value. Behind him a bottle was dropped to the floor. Visions of with “a bit on his hip” flashed through Reber’s mind and he turned quickly with the command; “Hand over that bottle.” A man sitting next a lady reached laboriously under the car seat and brought forth the bottle. It was topped with a nipple and contained milk. ‘Bootleg Squad’ Held in Jail at Cheyenne CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 22.—John and Peter Cordilla, brothers, and Walter Newell, former prohibition enforcement officials, were rushed here yesterday under heavy guard from Laramie and lodged in jail to await trial for the killing of Frank Jennings, a widely known Laramie citizen. The three members of Wyoming’s famous “bootleg squad” were held without bail to the March term of criminal court following a preliminary hearing in Laramie, which was held behind barred doors ns a precaution against a possible lynching. ■ Kansas City Editor Given Service Honor KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 22.—After eighteen months’ service with the Red Cross on the battle fronts of France, Roumanla, and in the Dobrudja, C.

Nobody paid much attention and a couple of months later the great war started. GERMAN THEORY IS' CHECKED UP. Two or three Important eclipses passed, but finally, on the occasion of May 29, observers took, pains to check upon v tbe German’s theory. Eureka! Sure enough there were the rays from the far-off stars drawing toward the sun in great curves as they passed it. We common men can not see very clearly the future value of a discovery of this sort. Nor did our ancestors of 200 years ago see much at the moment in Isaac Newton’s discovery of gravitation. FVa Marlon Reedy of the St. Louis Mirror, discussing the new physical law from the standpoint of C. P., thinks the discovery of Christmas a far greater one. That for the season. But as for us, we welcome every new fact that is added to the world’s store of human knowledge and wisdom. It may matter not at all to us now that what we always believed to be straight lines ar,e really curved lines, but some day, in co-ordination with some other discovery, this one may be-may very well be of enormous value in the lives of every man and woman.
