All these lives would have been saved if elevators had been inspected But because of the opposition of the Building Managers’ association, the proposal seems to have been pigeonholed.

First sign of spring in Cincinnati was when a man was caught marr) ing twice in 11 day's What a Mysterious Thing Is Astronomers announce that an explosion, prob, reatest in our history, took place February 27, among the stars. Beta Ceti, a star of the “second mag nitude” or brilliancy, suddenly flamed up and became one of the brightest stars—technically known as “first mag nitude.” What the astronomers really mean is that the explo Sion took place 80 years ago and that it became visible to us February 27. Beta Ceta is so far away from our earth that it takes light, traveling 185,300 miles a second, 80 years to reach us. In other words, when we look at this star, it as it existed in 1843. You've noticed a similar phenomenon if you'ever looked out at sea and saw smoke come fr a cannon before you Time! bably the we see = heard the report of the explosion. The explanation here i © that light waves travel faster than sound waves Suppose there were people living on Beta Ceti. There couldn’t be, as we understand things, because of the in- tense heat up there. But just suppose. And suppose, also, that an astronomer on Beta Ceti has a telescope powerful » enough to enlargé our earth sufficiently to see what's going on here. Ps Since it takes 80 years for light waves to travel between | ‘our earth and Beta Ceti, that astronomer would be seeing What happened on earth 80 years ago. It would be 2003 ' before he could see what is happening here today. Apply the same idea to more distant stars, and people © on them would be peering thru their telescopes today watching the battle of Waterloo, the building of the pyr | mids, funeral of King Tut—and so on, according to dis- / tance. This is what Einstein has in mind when he says that | time is relative, not fixed and absolute. If you ponder the | idea, it will impress you that in the universe there is not Teally any present, past or future. All is an Eternal Now. ‘Time is a delusion of our senses. A light-wave image of everything we do travels on forever into space. All is eternal.

Can Henry Ford play got well enough to be president? Henry and High Dam Henry has bit off another mouthful. After months of ‘opposition by power companies, Mr. Ford has been granted, by the federal power commission, permission to develop power at High dam, across the Mississippi, be- tween St. Paul and Minneapolis. What's Eenry going to do with High dam? He’s going to use its power to manufacture things more cheaply for himself and furnish the surrounding country with power at a reasonable figure. “For me and the folks,” Henry might put it. Considerable many of the folks hate the rich who hold cinches. But Henry shares his cinches with the folks, and that’s much different. It has a decidedly strong tendency toward making the folks fond of Henry, and ad do much for gentlemen of whom they become very ‘ond. mother of intervention. with a girl of 10. a candle.
