117 F ALL THINK in terms of three dimensions —length, width i
p” depth, by which we measure rooms, objects, distances, space
f But mathematicians claim that a fourth dimension exists. If 5
’mastered it, you could not be locked in a room, for a room 1
only three dimensions and you could escape through the fourth,
j What is the fourth dimension?
Time is the fourth dimension, answers Einstein.
Go to see a friend. Walk down one street, traversing t
dimension, length. Turn at a corner and travel along anotf
dimension, width. Reaching the friend s house, take the eleval
to his apartment, traversing the third dimension, depth or height.
But arriving, you find your friend out- You have to wait
minutes before reaching him.
Thus time is a fourth dimension in locating any physical obji
Os teaching any given point on the earth.
J- ,nd even time, says Einstein, is relative. He claims that tii
varies'in different parts of the universe.
«f«-. \ * * *
TAKE .the sta- Polaris—i 16 years for its light to reach us, and vi
f versa/ which means that it takes I 16 yeais for eyes to see fre
dne to the other. A man on Polaris, given a powerful telescope,

NOW is the year 1921 on earth, but k is the year 1805 on Polar
yet both are identically the same.
On more distant stars, inhabitants may be looking down a:
watching the building of the pyramids.
Time is relative. It varies with the object or star in relati
to which it is cansidered.
Einstein an’vances this novel claim: Shoot a man from t
earth out into sp*ace in a shell traveling with the speed of light
186,000 miles a second.
If the shell travels and! returns to earth with that speed, t
man would emerge from the shell unchanged.
He would be exactly the same age and unchanged physical!
even though the trip had taken 1,000,000 years.
> .That is, according to Einstein.

PUHU was right.’ f
No, not Elihu Root.
But Elihu the Buzite, the son of Barachel, of the kindred
Hkm- He listened to old Job and. his friends discussing the myste
of Ihqman suffering. Finally disgusted, Elihu exclaimed:
"Great men are not always wise; neither do the aged understa:
judgment."
In seven years the world Kas gone forward two centuries —
it has dropped back. Which of the two depends largely upon o
great men, old men who control. Are our great men wise? Do o
old men understand judgment? #
Why, in all countries they act as if nothing had happenc
Foolish! They are attempting the Future's portals "with the Pas
blood-rusted key.”
Idleness everywhere! A mob in Montreal asks for work
bread. Which did the great men give them? The easiest way-
Bread. In the name of God, was there no work which Canada cou
gike?
.7. \
T*WO OR THREE millions of workless men in the United State
* and if mobs fail to form we are simply lucky. But there is plen
of work which aches to be done. Work which our great and agi
ipen in control could give out, in Washington, in your city, yo
county, your state. It is a local issue as well as state and national.
We need thousands of schoolhouses; thousands of miles
good roads; great inland waterways; many hundreds of miles of nc
paving. Seventy million acres of swamp should be drained. Vj
leaches of dry land should be irrigated. Millions of horse-power
our streams should be developed. These things would employ eve
idle hand and bless the nation forever.
These things should be done now.
NOW!
While there is idleness, lowering wages and lack of private <
terpme, public enterprise should have the day—and perhaps t
nation. Is it doing it? Not visibly.
Elihu was right.
* * *
DELAWARE has passed a flogging law, 40 lashes on the bare ba
for highway robbers. It may banish highwaymen, especia
those who carry on without the services of an excellent crimit
lawyer,. « 4HI
But hasn’t Delaware failed to stretch the law as far as it w
might go—to cover the profiteer in the necessities of life?
i;*bw about an amendment to the law to include the profiteer?
Surely 40 lashes would make that sort of robbing equally 1
popular among the robbing fraternity.

And she had Dominoes wherewith to play. And sh- s: ,f v:th n
we set up the Dominoes to make Beds. And we made of them Singh

go. but we did not succeed very well.

to evening. And I said, This place is Elkhart, and the miles unto Chief

our last long stop. And we shall reach Chicago in Two Hours and
~ Minutes, and South Bend will be before that.
And she said, I would that South Bend were farther.
And I inquired of her why she said so.
And she said, There will be Very Hard Letters to learn in
Bend.
And I said, Why dost thou think there will be Hard Letters to

the of them begin with a K.

And I said, Sure thing. And CAT and DOG are tho same as i

souls. Fear not. The Alphabet of Heaven is the kindly deeds and g
