Albert Einstein,
Man and Theory
if you are old enough to remem-
ber 1922, you may also remember
that -
There was a young lady named
Bright,
Who travelled much faster titan
light,
She started one day- in a relative
way --
Antal arrived on the previous night.
In those distant days the news-
paPers were full of a mysterious
man and his mysterious theory.
The man was Albert Einstein; the
Theory, that of relativity. All over
the world articles were written at-
tempting to explain this incredible
theory; bttt as only about ten of
Me world's .greatest mathematicians
could comprehend it, the fact that
"popular" explanations failed is not
surprising,
About all the general public
could understand was that Ein-
stein's theory of relativity proved
That space was curved; and when
a famous eapediment was made in
1919 by astronomers in South
Africa, Einstein's theory forecasting
that light from Mercury would not
reach this earth yn a straight line,
but in a cnrve, was proved correct.
Persecuted because he was a Jew,
and hating the growth of Nazi -ism,
Einstein publicly renounced his al-
legiance to the country of his birth
and retired to England, Later he
went to America, becoming natur-
alized in 1940, and accepted a post
on the staff of the University of
Princeton.
When the war came, and Amer-
ica eventually joined in, it became
elear in certain c a 'entificircles
scientific e
that the atonic bomb was a prac-
tical possibility.
Einstein was consulted, and it
was his advice which persuaded the
late President Roosevelt to initiate
the building of a scientific labor-
atory at Las Alamos at a cost of
millions and millions of dollars, and
which resulted in the construction
of the first atomic bomb.
And now, at 70 years of age,
this famous man has recently pro-
duced twenty typed pages of e
mathematical formula which may
provide a key to the problem of the
universe. This work is entitled "The
Generalized Theory of Gravitation,"
and it sets out in four mathematical
equations the laws which govern
the two fundamental forces of the
universe — gravitation and electro-
magnetism.
According to newspaper reports,
some of the greatest scientists in
the world believe that it may take
two:sty-five years for practical re-
sults of Einstein's new theory to
appear. And, indeed, Einstein hint -
self has sent a message to news-
paper reporters who want to know
about these possible results, saying:
"come bark and see me in twenty
years,"
Only one man in the world can
yet clearly understand this new
theory—and that man is Einstein
himself. Other scientists say: "We
have no continent to make because
we need to study it thoroughly
before we can comprehend it"
What Einstein has been trying
to do in the last thirty years is to
find a formula which will explain
the workings of—everything. from
atoms to stars,
"Within its framework," said one
of Or Einstein's associates, "all im-
portant perceptions of the world
and of abstract intuitions of reality
—matter, energy, force, space. time
—merge finally into one. What it
is said Einstein has done is to
bridge the gap between very big and
very little, between stellar space
and the micro -world inside the
atom."
Amd that is about all the layman
can expect to know about his latest
theory, evolved by the greatest brain
working in the world today.

UNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
By Rev. R. Barclay Warren
THE CHURCH IN ROME
Romans I:I, 7-12; Acts 28:14b-13,
30-31.
Golden Text: I am not ashamed
of the gospel of Christ; for it is
the power of God unto salvation to
every one that believeth; to the Jew
first, and also to the Greek.
—Rom. 1:16.
Paul was commissioned of God
to carry the light of the Gospel
to the Gentiles. His first head-
quarters was Antioch, the hub of
Syria. Then it was Ephesus, the
center of operations in Asia Minor
and eastern Europe; and finally,
Rome, the metropolis of the world.
Rome was capital of the last great
world empire. Its mighty armies
even conquered Briton. But the
power of Ronne did not daunt Paul
for the message of the Gospel of
Christ was more powerful yet. It
would not destroy but save every-
one who would trust in Christ.
Paul was unashamed of such a
Gospel. lie longed for the oppor-
tunity of placing its banner at the
heart of the empire.
Paul did not know that he would
go to Rome as a prisoner. When a
group of Christians learned of his
conning, they went down the road
about forty miles to meet hits:
"Whom when Paul saw, he thanked
God, and took courage." The
thoughtfulness on the part of the
little band in Rome did much to
help
Paul. If Paweould w t
l
re-
member that little acts of kindness
can have great significance, we
would do more of them.
Paul had written in his letter to
the Romans, "We know that all
things work together for good to
them that love God". 8:28. Now he
had a chance to prove it. He was
allowed his own hired house where

he could receive all who came. He
preached the Gospel. Later he wrote
from prison to the Church at Phil-
ippi, "I would ye should under-
stand, brethern, that the things
which happened ed mrtome have fallen
out rather unto the furtherance of
the gospel; so that my bonds are
manifest in all the palace, and in
all other places; and many of the
brethern in the Lord, waxing con-
fident by my bonds, are much more
bold to speak the word without
fear."

A Railway Line
Run By Childen
One of the world's most popular
railroads doesn't connect any cities,
has only a single track; and runs
little more than two miles.
Yet, despite these disadvantages
which would bankrupt any other
line, hundreds of persons, including
visitors from all over the world,
flock every day to its main terminal
on Szechenyihegy hilltop above
Budapest to take a ride. On the
Hungarian railroad called Uttoro,
Vasut, Pioneers' Railroad, itt Eng-
lish, the employees, rather than the
right-of-way, accotmt for its popu-
larity.
Prospective passengers buy their
tickets, which cost one forint (alloit
10 cents), from_ a young lady who
still counts sums higher than five
on her fingers. While waiting for
-the next train, they peer through -
the windows of the dispatcher's of-
fice to watch a freckle -faced lad
wearing his first pair of long
trousers, part of a spruce blue -gray
uniform, tap out messages on a
telegrapher's key. On the platform,
the stationmaster, a pigtailed
blonde, signals the train to start.
Budapest's children's railroad,
which opened in 1947, is run en-
tirely by youngsters between the
ages of nine and; 14. Boys and girls
alike, they handle every job—sell-
ing tickets, working as conductors,
telegraphers, and stationmasters;
operating signal towers, coupling
and uncoupling locomotives and
care, and even selling candy and
souvenir post cards aboard the
train.
The only adults besides the pas-
sengers, are the mens who drive the
two bine-and-white Diesel -powered
loeotnotives' and * patient, soft-
spoken man named Ferenc Nemeth.
who keeps a fatherly eye on the
"employees." A veteran of 14
years on time Fiungarian railways,
Nemeth says the children are the
best workers he's ever seen.
The locomotives and cars, rough-
ly two-thirds of standard size, are
exact replicas of full-sized trains,
right down to baggage racks and
high-pitched whistles. There's a pic-
nic ground at the end of the wood-
ed, scenic, two -toile route.
Busapest children try out for
jobs on the railroad by attending
two weeks of classroom training
during which they • learn all the
fundamentals of railroading—teleg-
raphy, signals, mechanics and ticket
selling. There's also a post office at
each of the three stations along the
line, so the children are also
taught how to sell stamps and di-
rect letters.
Only the best students get jobs
on the railroad. They work six
hours every day for a month, get-
ting their lunches free, Their jobs
change every day, so that each child
gots all-round knowledge of the
)fine's operations. They also learn
how to use and respect authority;

morrow's candy merchant,
Cow Towels
Progressive dairymen wash the
udders and teats of their cows with
warns water before nmilking A ster-
ilised cloth towel is used to dry the
udders. Despite this precaution
bacteria are carried from cow to
another. Individual paper cow tow-
els need once only reduce this
chance of spreading infection, The
cellulose cow towel is made from
special wood pulps and chemicals.
It remain strong when wet, and it
is soft and lint -free.
Bees Great Part
In Flower Pollination
Flowers did not appear till some
150,000,000 years ago. At that time
beetles were the onlypollinating
p g
insects,
The modern descendants of these
original flowering plants—the mag-
nolias and their relatives—are still
pollinated by beetles. The magno-
las are composed of numerous,
spirally arranged, colorless petals,
stamens and seed -bearing organs.
Unlike bees, beetles do not stick
to one variety of plant. Probably
the earliest flowering plants were
insufficiently pollinated and prob-
ably they did not reproduce abund-
antly.
All this changed when bees ap-
peared at the beginning of the Ter-
tiary period, about 60,000,000 years
ago. Bee pollination is more effi-
cient than beetle pollination,
With bees doing the pollating,
flowers tended to develop petals in
the form of a deep tube or cup,
with nectar stored at the base. This
relieved the plant of the burden of
• producing excess pollen and num-
erous stamens, the flower's pollen -
bearing organs. Since bees habitu-
ally land on flowers when they suck
nectar or gather pollen, the flowers
tend to form the lower petals into a
long lip to serve as a "landing
platform."
Time color of the flowers was af-
fected too. Bees can see blue or
yellow, but they are color-blind for
red. Most flowers that attract bees,
therefore, are some shade of blue
or yellow or a mixture of these two
colors.
So the appearance of many flow-
ers today (color, shape and sym-
metry of petals and number of sta-
mens) is an evolutionary adapta-
tion. Plants developed tubular flow-
ers, reduced the number of stamens
and concealed nectar at the base,
where it is available to the long -
tongued bees but not to the beetles.
The tubular petals carried out a
screening process which gradually
eliminated the visits of beetles to
many flowers and favored the visits
of bees.
Use Live Steam
As A Cooler
Use of live steant to cool fresh
vegetables seems a paradox, but the
method, based on well known
physical. laws ingeniously applied,
has been used commercially by
California lettuce shippers for more
than a year and tested by the De-
partment of Agriculture. Vege-
tables can be cooled even after they
have been packed in plastic bags.
Bulk containers of vegetables are
placed in an airtight metal cham-
ber and the loading opening is a
sealed High-pressure steam creates
a vacuum and sticks the air out of
the cooling chamber. Water evapor.
ates from the surface and tissues of
the vegetables. Changing the water
from the liquid to the vapor form
requires heat. This is drawn front
the vegetables within the chamber
and results in their quick cooling.
TABLE TALKS
kv., Andrews..
Back in 1907 a man went to
Washington as Senator from Min-
nesota. His name was Knute Nel-
son, and his favorite eating was
bean soup, He liked bean soup
every weekday and Sundays as wee;
and when he found that the Sen-
ate Restaurant didn't serve this deli-
cacy, he made a terrific squawk.
So before long it appeared on the
Menu. What's more, it has been ap-
pearing there every single day for
almost 34 years, just because
thousands of others, besides Mr.
Neeson, went for it in a big way.
"Famous Senate Restaurant Bean
Soup" is the way it's always listed;
and it has probably been eaten by
more noted people than any other
single dish.
Perhaps you'd like to know how
to make it. Here is the recipe as
handed out by Paul Johnson, the
restaurant's head waiter for half a
een tury.
FAMOUS BEAN SOUP
