Much has been printed concerning Professor Einstein's
discovery of "relativity." Few are qualified to understand
the theories, the we are told that they revolutionize science
as based on Newton's law of gravitation.
In brief the "relativity" theory is: An object or group
will attract, deflect, retard or cast off in proportion to its
speed, weight, contents, mass, shape, area of surface and
topography angle of inclination, course, plane of position and
relative distance from other objects moving about a com
mon centre (in proportion with their speed, weight,
mass, etc.)
Einstein's "light deflection" theory is based on the fact
that speeding masses, circular or orbit, influence a cricular
deflection.
Einstein's "Time and Space" theory is that speeding
cosmic matter, having no permanency of fixture, when
visualized is past the original center of cinematographic
vision that is, the past is the present of time.
Einstein's "Trinity of the Cosmic system" theory is that
as all terrestial bodies move in a circular or ovoid (deflected
circle) path about a common center, the furthermost unit,
no matter its plane, is limited in its course.
Perhaps you know what it all means, though not all
scientists, judging by their disputes, seem to. At any rate
let us hope the new theories may enable humanity to better
comprehend the universe.

Ingenious Fire Bugs
Great increase in commercial swindling has followed the
business slump. Crooked failures and successful fires have
multiplied as profits dwindled in legitimate industry. Arson
has again become a trade.
Investigation of recent fires have brought forth some
ingenious methods employed by professional arsonists. Fires
at Patterson, New Jersey, were found due to the overturn
ing of lamps by cats, and investigation disclosed that a man
at Chester, Pennsylvania, made a business of training cats
to overturn lighted lamps on sight, and selling the trained
cat to men in various cities for $250 each.
All a man who wanted to fire his store, after the secret
removal of the best stock, had to do was to buy one of these
cats, put it in his place with a lighted lamp and then go
home, assured the cat would knock over the lamp and set
fire to the store.
A still more ingenious plan was disclosed in the indictment
of the chief of a gang of New York arson specialists who
undertook to set a fire whenever requested, by placing a
lighted candle in an empty lard bucket. Hanging down inside
the bucket were little bags of gasoline suspended by stringsj
Cotton was placed about the top of the bucket and when the
top was closed, the cotton ignited and an explosion followed
which usually set fire to the building after blowing up the
bucket, thus destroying the evidence.
If half the ingenuity displayed by crooks was expended
in legitimate endeavor, the profits would be greater than
those sought but seldom realized by the swindler who sooner
or later ends his career in the penitentiary.

Bid Hal Eeally Propose!
I cannot describe my feeling
when I realized from what Hal
said that he probably had not in
tended to propose marriage to me
when be first told me that he
loved nie. That night I tossed
and turned for hours. At last I
could stand It no longer and I
put my hand over on my green
ing husband's face.
Hal, I called Boftly, "wake
up. I want to ask you some
thing." He turned sleepily anl mur
mured: "What is it, .dear
"Do you love me? Are you
sure you love me, Hal?"
There was au unintelligible
sound from my husband's lips,
but with It he drew me close,
close within his arms, apparently
without waking. He had an

me or not, I was a part of him.

than even love. To be the wo
man a man loved might mean
great bliss for a day or a weak
or a year, but to be the woman
a man married meant "for better
or worae, In sickness or In health
until death do us aart." I push
ed my head close up under Hal's
chin, and Immediately I went tu
sleep, comforted and calm.
Even In the first years of our
marriage I know now, though I
did not realize then my husband
was not very strong. His ath

and I think now that was the
reason he lost his position in my
home town. After our honey
moon he was very much interest
ed in his business, and I was
secondary. He did not realize
that after a day of monotony I
would like to go out at night, for
he was so fatigued that he had
no inclination to do anything but
sleep.
I have sometimes thought that
this is one of the great rocks an
which marriage wrecks itself.
Housework spells monotony for
a woman. A man's business
spells interest to him. I that the company of Hal, even
