WIN TEST EINSTEIN THEORY
IN MAY
(Continued from Page 5)
suspicion recently. Just at the time
when his stock seemed to stand high-
e-t. and the world did him homage
,n his fiftieth birthday, discordant
voices made themselves heard. The
-Morning Post” allowed a sneer to
creep into its editorial article on the
Kinstein anniversary. And, surprising
ly. Professor Eddington, the famous
astronomer-physicist, who was the
man who introduced the Einstein
thory of general relativity to the
world by reporting the confirmation
afforded to Einstein’s predictions by
the two British solar eclipse expedi
tions in 1919, has now come along to
express doubt whether the new Ein
stein theory, welding electro-magne
tism and gravitation into one law,
should be substituted for existing
theories attempting the same unifica
tion. In a communication in “Nature,”
the leading British scientific maga
zine, Professor Eddington makes an
analysis of the new Einstein theory
in which he writes that the chief in
terest lies in how it compares both
in regard to methods and results with
the existing field theories, which have
had some measure of success. And he
declares that he prefers to Einstein’s
field theory, the field theory developed
by Professor Herman Weyl of Zurich,
who is now at Princeton University
as an exchange professor.
Simultaneously comes the news that
the Kinstein theory is shortly to be
subjected to yet another test, when
the total eclipse of the sun takes place
on May 9th. It is to be the most im
portant total eclipse that will occur
for several years and British ob
servers have already gone out to two
camps located one on each side of the
Malay Peninsula. At Alor Star, In
Kedah, the official observers will be
Lr. Jackson from the Royal Observa
tory at Greenwich and Dr. Carroll
from the Solar Physics Observatory
ln Cambridge. At Pattani in Siam the
official observers will be Professor
Bratton from Cambridge and Mr.
Melotte from Greenwich. And at the
time of the eclipse Colonel Waley-
°hen, a Jew, and Dr. Aston will be
assisting the observers. The Green
wich observers will especially attempt
a more accurate verification of Ein
stein’s theory, depending largely on
e sca ^ e °f the photographs of the

Chicago (J. T. A.).—The Governing
Board of the Anti-Defamation League
of the Independent Order B’nai Brith
held a session at the Covenant club
here Monday night. Sigmund Livings
ton, chairman, presented reports of
lectures and addresses to Rotary, Ki-
wanis, Lion, Optimists and similar
business luncheon clubs, indicating the
large territory covered and the en
thusiastic receptions and co-operation
resulting. It was decided to extend the
scope of these talks in the future as
soon as adequate and definite plans
and a program can be mapped out.
A large number of cases of defama
tion in American newspapers was re
ported to the Government Board.
These matters were called to the at
tention of the offending papers and
in every instance sympathetic replies
were received from the editor, with
offers to gladly co-operate hereafter
with anti-Defamation League in its
work.
Directors of the Hillel Foundations,
student presidents from six founda
tions at universities and members of
the Commission met in an all-day ses
sion here at the Bismark Hotel Mon
day. Special emphasis was placed on
the presentation of criticism by stu
dents and directors to the Commission
members. Jewish problems arising in
the universities were brought up, dis
cussed and suggestions for handling
them presented. It was decided to hold
another such meeting in Chicago next
January.
Emphasis was placed throughout
the discussion on the immediate ne
cessity for providing separate and
thoroughly equipped buildings to
house the Hillel activities at each
school where a foundation is in ex
istence. In addition to the six student
presidents and the six Hillel directors,
there were present Alfred M. Cohen,
I. O. B. B. president; Dr. Boris D.
Bogen, secretary, Edwin Schanfarber
of Columbus, Ohio; Rabbi Louis I.
Mann, Chicago; I. Kuhn, Champaign,
Ill.; Rabbi Sol Goldman, Cleveland;

CATHOLIC WOMEN IN PORTUGAL
OPPOSE MARRANOS’ RETURN
TO JUDAISM
Authorities Ignore Opposition; An
other Community Returns
Lisbon (J. T. A.).—A deputation of
Catholic women voiced objection to
the official return of Marranos in
Portugal to the faith of their fore
fathers, when they presented to the
governor of Braganza a memorandum
asking him to prohibit the contem
plated official formation of a Jewish
community by the Marranos of Bra
ganza.
The Catholic women base their
objection on the contention that the
Marranos returning to Judaism are
Freemasons. The governor rejected
the demand, declaring that the Jewish
religion must be respected as are
other religions.
The Marr community in Braganza
is constantly growing in numbers.
Services are openly held every Satur
day. The Marranos in Mirandadodouvo
have also decided to officially return
to Judaism.

A Golden Market
Every business man
knows that a market is necessary
for commercial activity. A re
sponsive market is a business
man’s golden realm.
The Evening Georgian goes
into families representing pur
chasing power for the needs of
150,000 persons in the city of
Atlanta. There are two kinds of
newspapers published in Atlanta,
and The Georgian is preferred by
the liberal minded readers. It is a
modern newspaper, sprightly in
appearance, live in content.
That is the kind of newspaper
which appeals to young people
to people with a youthful
point of view regardless of years.
That is the type of reader who
spends money. A millionaire who
is close fisted represents no market
for the merchant. His spendthrift
clerks are the people who spend
money, saving nothing.
Why not be coldly analytical
and spend your advertising dol
lars where they will bring back
two?
Do you want misers or spend
ers as customers? Unfortunately,
perhaps, the youthful minded
won’t save money. But that’s for
tunate for the merchant. Address
your message to them in The Eve
ning Georgian. Also read The
Evening Georgian for live, inter
esting news.
