Creation of a new standard for meas- uring light is cited in the annual re- port_of Director George K. Burgess of the Bureau of Standards, as one of the most important achievements at the Bureau during the past year. The re- port was released for publication today. Experimental work in aeronautics and various commercial studies were also named by Dr. Burgess as being of especial importance. ‘The new standard of light, according to Dr. Burgess, is expected eventually to supplant the artificlal standards, such as carbon lamps, which are now used as standards of candl*power by the various nations. SIAR, WASHINGTON |EINSTEIN VISIT HELD TRIBUTE *D. C, TUESDAY, Novhkiibiul 18, 1930. TO AMERICA'S PLACE IN SCIENCE |3 German Physicist Will Use Pasadena Facilities for His Research. Will Enjoy Companionship of Trio of Outstanding U. S. Scientists. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. America may be destined to be the place where Prof. Albert Einstein will unravel the great scientific mystery of cause and effect. The impending visit of the world-celebrated author of rela- tivity, it is expected here, will be con- cerned mainly with the relation between electricity, magnetism and gravity. These are major aspects of the Einstein theory, about which its discoverer 1s PROF. ALBERT EINSTE! speak scientific German fluently. Relativity's inventor apparently is headed for what a fellow German once called “that land of unlimited P(lll bilities,” in the hope that he will find facilities here for development of his theory. It has largely to do with the nature of space and of the universe, and depends in some part on an impression of the nature of matter. The California Institute of Technology has some of the most fundamental studies in the nature of matter, embracing the structure and function of the atom and many associated special probl Some of the 'ol'ld'l most important data on the nature of the space ‘uni- other things act in it, have regulted trom the work at.Mount Wilson Ob- Edwin P.

They impinge di- rectly upon his quest for a solution of the cosmic riddle—as he has just put in a public address at Berlin, viz., “whether the hen or the egg came first.” American scientists evince lively in- terest in the plans of Prof. Einstein. At Washington, seat of the National Council and the Carnegie In- stitution, twin hubs of the American scientific universe, there is special satis- faction with the German savant’s in- tentions. In coming, Dr. Einstein pays Urges World Adoption. ‘The new standard involves a meas- | urement of the brightness of the in- terior of a* small tube of refractory material immersed in a bath of pure platinum. The brightn-ss of the in- terfor of the tube has been found to equal 58.84¢ candles per square cen- timeter. A recommendation has been made by the Bureau that this standard be accepted by the International Commit- tee on Weights and Measures. The signing by President Hoover of a bill creating a national hydraulic Jaboratory at the Bur-au is described | as an event of great significance in the engineering world. This laboratory will study funda- mental problems of hydraulics inciud- | ing flow of rivers and open streams, and will test all kinds of hydraulic machines and instruments. Development of & successful visual reed indicator for showing a pilot, whether he is on his course and prog- ress made in the development of a radio system for guiding airplanes to safe landings in fog, ‘were set forth as among the more important contribu- tions of the bureau to aeronautics. ‘To determine the effect of repeated vibration on duralumin, the report says, a special machine is in use at the Arlington laboratory in which the spec- imen is floated on air and is caused to vibrate by a high-speed air stream at a rate of 210 cycles per second.
