WO SGENTTS BLAZENEW TRALS No Longer Hold Obscure Position Behind Men in Research Work. During the past century and into the beginning of the present ome, it was the lot of the woman sclentist to stand a little back from the footlights when some discovery was made as a esult of her research work in chemis- iry, psychology, physiology, botany or what not. She often worked as in- tensely as her masculine partner in research, sharing with him her honors as well as her labors. And although often some inspiration of hers resulted in the final solution of an experiment or gave the foundation for work on a uew truth of astronomy or mental habit, it was her masculine co-worker who received such glory as is given 0 sclentists. A notable instapce of magnanimity is the story which is told of Prof. Curle, who refused to accept degrees from the French Academy until Mme. Curle, who had worked with him so faithfully, was included In the honors %0 be bestowed. Women Now Independent. ‘While the number of women en- gaged in scientific research on a large scale does not compare with the num- ber of men, the attitude of such women 18 now one of independence. They set up laboratorles for themselves and pro- ceed with thelr experiments in their own fashion. Among the women who are visiting ‘Washington as members of the Amer- can Association for Advancement of Sclence are representatives of all the branches of scientific research. At Johns Hopkins Dr. L. M. Dege- ner s at present engaged in internal secretion research. Her particular in- terest is the effect of fatigue on the thyroid gland. Since her work is only in the first stage of development and has been demonstrated on no ani- mal of higher order than the rat, she 1s able to draw no conclusions as yet. Dr. Marion McKenzle, in charge of the blology department of the Temple University of Philadelphia, is also at- tending the convention. Miss Lilly Amella Weierbach, a member of the faculty of the botany department of the University of Penn- syfvania, is engaged In a special study B2 the effect of sulphur-dloxide and affiliated gases upon vegetation. Whether or not these gases are detri- mental to the trees and shrubbery of which Washingtonians are so _proud s as yet unknown, but Miss Weler- bach will soon be able to make her knowledge public. A visiting botanist from Cornell University is Dr. Adele Louise Grant. Dr. Grant, who is president of the Sigma Delta Epstlon Sorority, an as- sociation of graduate woman scien- tists engaged in research work, has invited Mrs. Mary V. Walcott, Wash- Ington botanist of national reputa- tion, to speak at the sorority lunch- eon toda: Miss Mary Allen, psychologist, in charge of the staff of teachers on Welfare Island, N. Y., is another vis- itor. N. W. SMITH T0 STAY ON ALASKA RAILROAD Official From Pennsy Is Named General Manager of Gov- ernment Line. Noel W. Smith, now serving a special temporary assistant to Sec- retary Work, in charge of the Alaska Rallroad, today was named general ‘manager of the road; which is a government-owned Institution. Smith, a Philadelphian and assist- ant to the general manager of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was granted a six months’ leave of absence by his employers so that he might survey and reorganize the Alaska Railroad. The reorganization resulted in per- sonnmel reduction and changes in- Sluding the recent resignation of Col. Lee H. Landis as general man- ager. The apppointment announced today disclosed that Smith had decided to quite the Pennsylvania and devote his entire attention to the affairs of the Alaska road. He now is in Washing- ton in connection with an applica- tion for wage increases and changes :n working conditions of the Alaska voad employes. These metters are to b adjusted within a few days. AMERICAN MISSIONARIES IN CHINA THOUGHT SAFE Nutional Lutheran Council Re- ceives Cable Telling of Workers in Fighting Zone. By the Associated Press NEW YORK, December 31.—Ameri- zan missionaries in the zone of the recent fighting in China are believed to be safe, according to a cable re- veived here yesterday by the National Lutheran Council from the American Legation at Peking.® A paraphrase at the cable follows: “The American consul general at Hankow telegraphed today that he was in receipt of a telegram from the American missionary, Vikner, at Hsuchowfu, stating that all foreign- ers'there were safe: that all forelgn- ers at Juchow were proceeding to Hsuchowfu and that Kiahsien was captured on the 18th.” The communication was in reply o inquiries from the State Depr: ment at Washington concerning t Sutheran missionaries of the Au- Zustana Synod of Rock Island, 11 stationed at Juchow; Deaconess Inge- borg Nystul of St. Paul, Minn, and Miss Elizabeth Berglund of Minne- sota.

Cur:is Presents Experimental Results W hich May Discredit Third Proof Submitted by German Mathematician. Strong experimental evidence with a tendency to disprove the Einsteln theory of relativity, the most con- vineing yet produced, was placed be- fore physlcists and astronomers at the Bureau of Standards yvesterday by Heber D. Curtls of the Allegheny Observatory, retiring vice president of the astronomy section of' the American Associatjon for the Ad- vancement of Sclerce. Hitherto this theory, involving the most revolutionary changes in human conception of natural law since the days of Sir Isaac Newton, has been considered as practically proven and has fulfilled the conditions set for it in- experiments. The Efnstein theory, carried to its extremes, practically asserts in com- plex mathematical language that, since there Is no object in the uni- verse in absoluate rest by which the movement of all other objects can be guaged, there can be no absolute statement of time or place. In other words, & man might fall dead, shot through the heart, an infinitely small fractlon of time be- fore the bullet which killed him was fired. One might see the flame of a match before it was lit. One pos sessed of infinite vislon mightelook straight ahead and see the back of his own head, Makes Grotesque Picture. By perfectly logical application of the deductions of the German mathe- matician & very grotesque picture of the universe can be obtained. The values Involved are so small, however, that the theory has been practical only in the study of stars and of atoms and here it has fitted some ob- served condilons better than the laws of Newton. From the first, three proofs were laid down for this theory. The first was that the perhelion of the planet Mercury was slowly moving forward. The theory meets this test. The sec- ond was that a ray of light from a distant star, passing close to the sun, would be slightly bent by the foree of gravity exerted by the sun. This has been found to be true in observa- tlons of solar eclipses. The third was that In the spectra of an element in the sun and on the earth there would be a shifting of the infra-red lines to the right in the former. Third Test Disproves Theory. Recent observations of the solar spectrum by methods which can de- tect @ shift ten times smaller than that predicted by Etnstein, Dr. Cur- tis said, show that while the shift takes place it is different from that which would be accounted for by the Einstein theory and that the amount of this shift ty the red is a function of the intensity of the solar spectrum line, the finest lines not being shifted. In the third test, then, under the most delicate measurements of which man is capable, the Einstein theory falls down Dr. Curtis did not present this evidence in an effort to disprove the Einstein theory, but to show that it had not been absolutely proved by the conditions laid down by the inventor. Its importance lies in the fact that all other efforts to disprove Einstein's conditions, elther with planets or atoms, have failed under exacting tests. Speaking of the probable advances in man's knowledge of the universe before 1950, when a new start In as- tronomical calculations will be made, Dr. Curtis predicted that a number of resent myeteries will be cleared up with improvements in astronomical instruments. One of the most bafing of these is the nature of the element coroniam. This has been found In the spectrum of the sun, just as helium was, but it has not been isolated on earth. There seems no logical place for it in the elements known to man. ‘WIII Attempt Isolation of Coroniam. Three attempts are to be made, he said, to isolate coroniam during the solar eclipse this month. The im- portance of isolating such an element is shown by experience with helium. First made known by spectrographic studies of the sun, its isolation on earth has provided man with one of his most valuable materials for both experiment and commercial use. The nation which had known of helium and a cheap method to isolate it dur- ing the World War, for instance, ALIEN QUOTA LAW SCORED AS INHUMAN Miss Abbott of Chicago University Calls Attention to Separation of 200 Couples. By the Associated Pre: CHICAGO, December 31.—Unfair, unsclentific and inhumane were the terms applied to the immigration quota law by Miss Edith Abbott of the University of Chicago Iin her address yesterday before the Ameri- can Statistical Association. Refering to one result of the law, she sald: . “In one private organization in Chicago there are 200 cases of aliens who cannot become citizens because their wives are in the old country and who cannot bring their wives over because they are not citizen Miss Abbott declared against ex- tending the quota regulations to Canada, declaring that “we should be glad to welcome these allens with open arms. “They are hand-picked and select- ed by a careful process through Canada.” Herbert A. Miller of Ohio State University discussed alien culture in this country, which he sald ‘had been driven into cold storage by the activities of the Ku Klux Kian and the Hundred Percenters.” ‘After a few years, when this post war complex wears off,” he declared, “this culture will come out of hid- ing to the' enrichment of American life.” “D Alexander Goldenweiser of the new School of Social Ressearch in Now York spoke in favor of re- pealing the immigration law and throwing America’s gates wide open. Naval Officers Transferred. Comdr. Paul E. Dampman has been transferred from Boston tg Pitts- burg; Comdr. Emmet C. " Gudger, Naval Supply Corps, from San Fran- sco to Hampton Roads; Lieut. Jomdr. Harold W. Boynton from Hampton Roads to the scouting fleet; Lieut. Comdr. Worrall R. Carter from the battleship Mississippi to the naval mission at Rio de Janeiro; Lieut. Comdr. Horatio J. Peirce to the battleship Wyoming; Lieut. Comdr, James C. Van de Carr from New Orleans to the battleship Pennsylvant Lieut. ‘Theron A.

Pomeroy, Medical Corps, at the Washington navy Fard, 2o the Naval Medical School, probably could have won hands down. There is a possibllity, however, that coroniam may. prove mnot to be a separate element, but partially strip- ped atoms of some other element; that is, atoms with some their electrons knocked off in some way so that the lines they show In the-spectrograph are not the same as they would show if all the electrons were present. ‘The search for coronfam is the most pressing present task of astronomers and phyicts It 1s being approached from two angles, first the further search in the sun and second, the further progress in stripping known elements of one atom after another and finding their spectra. Experi- ments will be placed before the physt cists today telling of the stripping away of four and five electrons from the atoms of some elements. Prove New Stellar Systems. But the most gmagination-inspiring talk before the astronomers, Dr. Cur- tis sald, was in the study of the spiral negulae which now have been proven definitely to be stellar sys- tems like our own. First we have the solar system— the eight planets, of which the earth is one, moving in orbits around the sun. The sun is 92,000,000 miles from the earth and the outer planets are hundreds of millions of mile: further removed. But they actually are in the earth's backyard, com- paratively— Because our solar system Is located approximately in the center of our stellar system and around it are ap- proximately three thousand million other suns with Invisible planets moving in orbits around them. The nearest of these suns is about twenty-five trillion miles from the earth. Some of them are at least one hundred thousand triillon (100,000,- 000,000,000,000) miles away. With this immensity, up to the past two or three years, man's concep- tion of the universe has stopped. But now revelations have come which mey make the whole stellar system no blg- ger, compared with all that lies be- yond, than a pin compared with a mountain. Independent Universes. There are the epiral nebulae. They have within the pase few months defl- nitely been proven to be independent stellar universes, probably cont: ing billions of solar systems each, lying immense distances away from our stellar system. They are at least a hundred million light years away— and a light year consists of approxi- mately six trillion miles. And no- body can tell how many spiral nebulae exist in space. Bevond all possibility of vision there may be any number of them one wishes to imagine. Dr. Curtis spoke of the possibility of study a typical spiral nebula as an average of all the others. The possibilities trenscend the imagina- tion. Before 1950, he said, there will be a number of comets which will come near enough to the earth to be studied. It now has been definitely established, he said, that comets are members of the solar system, rather than visitors from outside. May Triple Planets. The number of little planets or asteroids known in our own solar system, he said, may be doubled or tripled. _Already thousand are known. He predicted that the tabu- lation of further asteroids may be given up, due to the immense labor and little practical result therefrom, unless some machine can be devised which will calculate their 6rbits just as a machine now calculates the tides. Another vital problem is the study of the sun’s heat, Dr. Curtis sald. This largely remains for' the future, since it now has been established definitely that it is not due to the shrinking of the sun. Its heat has not varied 5 per cent in 200,000,000 years. The only explanation, he said, is that the heat is derived ffom some form of subatomic energy. There will be 41 minutes of eclipse of the sun between now and 1350. There has been only 48 minutes since the first introduction of the photo- graphic plate. This will mean that astronomers will be placed in a po- sition to learn a great deal which has hitherto been hidden through tnadequate instrumen 5,000-FOOT PLUNGE FAILS AS DEAF CURE Doctors Say Drop in Plane Will Not Beach Chronic Af- fliction. By the Associated Press. MITCHELL FIELD, N. Y., December 31.—Although physicians warned that the experiment was doomed to fail- ure, Joseph Kling took a 5,000-foot plung yesterday, in an effort to shake off the deafness which for 10 years bhad kept him out of the United States Army. The plunge, made in an airplane at Mitchel Fleld, was unsuccessful, as forecast. Army doctors sald Kling's deafnéss” was chronic, and that air- plane diving, reputed to have cured some such cases, would pot avall ex- cept where the deafness was the re- sult of shock or of hysterical ten- dencies. Kling, a garment worker, has con- versed by lip-and-finger language since scarlet fover and diphtheria left him, 13 years ago, with thickened ear drums. News that Kling was going to make a flight yesterday brought to the fleld John Gill, an accountamt of Springfleld, Mass., who also requested | that he be taken up a few thousand | feet and brought down in one swoop. | But as his condition was similar to Kling’s he remained on the ground.

There are a few million of them in the head of a pin—each a central mass. somewhat llke the sun, with planets grouped around it at dis- tances comparatively as great as the distances between the earth, Mars or Saturn and the sun. Physicists, who have studled the interiors of those infinitely little uni- verses, . say that these planets, or electrons, revolye with tremendous speed around this central sun on a scheme somewhat the same as that of our own solar system—although the comparision cannot be carries a great ways and other complex mathematical laws enter into it. Idea Accepted by Chemists. Chemists accept the idea of the atom as a central mass with planets gTouped around it, but some of them say that there Is no orbital motion. If there were, they say, what would hold the atoms together. If the elec- trons are moving at tremendous speeds ‘all the time, they claim, how could the forces of mutual attraction that keep the atoms bound up In molecules which make up solids, liquids and gases exert themselve It must be, say these, that the atom is built up more llke a child's house of blocks, each electron practically motionless. An attempt to reconcile these two views was made yesterday before the chemical section of the American As- soclation for the Advancement of Sclence by Harold C. Urey of Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Urey held rather to the theory that the eleo- trons moved rapidly in orbits around the central sun, but he reconciled this with the chemical viewpoint by say- ing that there existed on the outside of the system numbers- of points where the average force of attraction of the various electrons was exerted on the electrons of neighboring atoms, thus keeping an elemental mass in a compact hole and at the same time reconciling the theories. Presents Mass of Data. Dr. Urey gave a great mass of mathematical data to prove his con- tention that the chemist and the physicist could meet on common ground, if both were willing to make some concessions. The physicist, he sald, must admit some variations In the Bohr theory of the construction of the atom. Giving the history of the atomic theory, he said that the chemist long had accepted the atom as the small- est particle of matter from which all other matter was built up. Upon this conception chemical theories were built up which threatened to be dis- rupted when the physicist came along with the further theory that the ulti- mate particles of matter could be traced much further down than the atom {tself—to the electrons and pro- tons of which the atom is built up. Spectrograph studies of the atom, he said, left little reason to doubt the orbital motion of the electroms, since they had made possible the making of very detailed pictures con- cerning these orbits.

Public Invited Scientist Bitten by Supposedly Poisonous Creatures Tells Effects Dr. W. J. Baerg, Arkansas Entomologist Relates Tests Made on Himself With Bites and Stings by Centipede and Scorpion. ‘Would you journey all the way to the Panama Canal Zone for the express purpose of knowingly. intentionally permitting centiped: scorpfos, tarantulas and other sup- posedl’ polsonous creatures to bite You just to see for yourself the effect of their poisons? This is what wi done by Dr. W, J. Baerg, entomologist of the University of Arkansas, as Biven in a paper read before the En- tomological Soclety of America here today. Observations of the effect of the voison of one species of centiped: two specles of scorplons and two spe. gles of tarantulas were made after permitting these supposedly polson- ous arthropolds to bite him on the hand. One of the tarantulas—belleved by Dr. Baerg to be one of the so- called “banana spiders” brought to the United States in hipments of bananas—was permitted first to bite rats and guinea pigs. This tarantula has a reputation of being more deadly than a rattlesnake. * The rat, which shows symptoms very readily, 15 minutes after being bit- ten, was on its belly, occasionally at- tempting to move In a feeble way; LIFE ON MARS HELD LIMITED TO MOSSES Temperature Too Cold for Human Existence, Dr. W. W. Coblentz Tells Scientists. It life exists at all on Mars, it prob- ably has not developed beyond the cycle of the mosses and lichens which thrive beneath the Arctic snows of this planet, or animals that are able to burrow deep and hibernate most of the Martian year, Dr. W. W. Coblentz, physiclst of the Bureau of Standards, told the American Physical Socfety. At noon on the Martian equator, Dr. Coblentz declared, the temperature Is about like that of Washington on a 2 bright March day, but by night it drops to far below zero, and life in that region of our neighboring planet must be “a process of thawing out and limbering up in the forenoon, and a reversal of the process afternoon.” There is on this earth, however, the speaker continued, both vegetable and animal life, which might be able to exist in Mars' rigorous and flexible climates. — CHAUFFEUR SENDS BULLET INTO HEART; COMPANION IS HELD (Continued from First Page.) of his home yesterday afternoon, where Mrs. Pamela Whitcomb, his wife, found the body on her arrival from work, also in the city post office.

In 30 minutes the bitten area was visibly swollen end dark red and purplish. In an hour and fifteen minutes it showed signs of recovery and in three hours and forty minutes it had practically re- covered. A second test with another tarantula and another rat showed practically the same results. Two guinea plgs bitten by this species of tarantula died fn about half an hour. The test was then made on Dr. Baerg. “Rather severe pain appeared at once,” Dr. Baerg reports. “In a few minutes the finger on which the bite took place felt numb and the pain was 50 strong that I applied dilute ammonia about 10 minutes after the bite had taken place. At this time the small finger was perceptibly swollen, rather red and stiff. In fif- teen minutes there was a strong throbbing and the swelling had in- creased considerably. Some more ammonia was applied. In 30 minutes the finger was so stiff that it could scarcely be bent, the skin was very red and glowin, the paln Beemed somewhat less. In an hour the'sharp pain had largely subsided, there was a strong tingling sensation and the stiffness and lame feeling extended to the third finger. The swelling gradually spread over most of the hand. It did not go beyond the wrist.” Bitten by Centipede and Scorplon. The centipede was permitted to bite him on the inside of the ter- minal joint of t small finger of the left hand. “The resultant pain was quite appreciable before the fangs had been withdrawn,” accord- ingto Dr. Baerg. “Fifteen minutes later the pain was noticeably less and confined entirely to the last joint of the finger. In 30 minutes the pain was rather slight.” Dr. Baerg also permitted two species of scorplons to sting him. In the case of one specles there was rather severe pain at first. After 30 minutes the pain gradually decreased and soon disappeared. The Best Cough Syrup Is Homemade. Here’s an easy way to save $2 d yet have the best cough remedy you ever tried. You've probably heard of this well known plan of making cough syrup at home. But have you ever used it? Thousands of families, the world over, feel tiiat they could hardly keep house without it. It's simple and cheap, but the way it takes hold of a cough will soon earn it a perma- nent place in you- home. Into a pint botde pour 2; ounces of Pinex; then add pleiz granulated sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or, if desired, use clarified molasses, honey or corn syrup instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes good, never spoils and gives you a full pint of better cough remedy than you could buy ready-made for three times its cost. It is really wonderful how quickly this homemade remedy conquers a cough—usually in 24 hours or less. It seems to penetrate through every ir passage, loosens a dry, hoarse or | tight cough, lifts the phlegm, heals the membranes and gives almost im= mediate relief.
