One of the great goals of science is to learn the con- nection between these two universal forces. Along with light, they af- fect every moment of human life. Einstein’s first announcement did not attempt to say what the rela- tion is, but only that its existence is demonstrated in mathematical farmula, which he called field equa- tions. These equations, however, failed to work altogether satisfac- torily, and their accuracy was chal- lenged. Einstein modified” them, seeking to eliminate weak spots. The Berlin dispatch indicates success. Dr. M. S. Vallarta, assistant pro- fessor of physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, today ex- plained the importance of the Berlin announcement, “It means,” he said, “that Dr. Tinstein has found from his latest cquations both the laws of gravity and the laws of electricity. The same equation gives both of these laws correctly. This at least is the con- clusion to be drawn from the brief description. Seem to Verify Claims “By giving correctly both gravita- tional and electrical laws the equa- tions seem to verify the existence of a connection between the two fundamental forces. This is the first time that a mathematical solution has worked. It is very important. “An idea of the first solution— that of a spherically symmetrical field in spase—may be obtained from comparison with physical conditions upon the earth. The sphere con- celved in the mathematical solution is not flattened at the poles like the each, but is perfectly round. With cuch a globe the pull of its gravita- tion would be the same everywhere at a given distance above its sur- face. The clectrical forces of such a globe—assumed to be electrically charged—would likewise be sym- metrical. Tt is to the gravitational and the electrical forces of such a globe that Einstein has applied his field equations. “The second solution f{s not so important. being in the nature of a confirmation.” VIOLATES TRAFI'IC LAW Detective Sergeant P. J. O'Mara notified John Augustine of 5 Lymsn street today to be in Hartford po- lice court at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning for violation of the traffic ordinances. Augustine formerly lived at 295 Lasalle street. but moved about a month ago to his present address, which confused the police when they set about notifying him. He told Sergeant O'Mara he was in Hartford Wednesday with his son, | who is 18 years of age and has an| operator’s license. Augustine has| no license.

Erwin, who is the present owner of the old Chapman farm street and New Britain avenue, that a pot of gold was found by Elmer Chapman who was digging a hole to plant a trec in his vard.
