The Prime Minister promised to give the matter favorable consideration. 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 ■ ui- in the sun’s neighborhood, and e Cambridge astronomers will be responsible for the spectroscopic ob servations of the sun in the ultra- pi? lV a L nd ^ n ^ ra_re J regions, so as to a hsh the physical conditions of arious elements in the sun’s atmos- I suppose there will be not o will be hoping that the v • 10 ns will not come.

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. g nnuL n mu A Golden Market Every business man knows that a market is necessary for commercial activity.
