If there are no electrical or magnetic fields to affect it the stream travels in a straight line. If an electrical or magnetic field is brought near the stream of electrons it is bent out of a straight line to an extent that is depndent upon the strength of the disturbing field. Known strengths of electrical leljs are used to produce this bending, and then when fields of unknown strength are used the amount of bending produced Is an indication of the strength of the field.

Montclair 1410 FREDERICK C. HALL, President ufacturing Company found itf necessary to make a correc tion in the readings of a cath ode ray oscillograph for the Increase in mass of an electron when traveling at enormously high speeds approaching the speed- of light. He found that the mass of an electron Increases 5 percent when it is impelled by a potential ot 60,000 volts. This is the first time that this obscure bit of laboratory phenomenon, which has been the source of much conjecture by scien tists, has found its way into engineering practice. This problem of tne relationship between the charge on an electron and its mass was a pet problem of scientists for 35 years when Einstein, about IS years ago, seized it as a handy ingredient for his rela tivity theory.

Since then It has been identified in the mind of the public with relativity, Measures Voltages. Regardless of whether it Is consid ered the property of the relativl-tists who gave it fame, or the clas sical scientists who gave it birth. the problem of the increase in mass of matter when it is caused to travel at enormously high speeds is one of the most fascinating puzzles in the whole field of science. It aims straight at the root of the problem of the nature of matter and raises the question of whether what we call matter is material or only electricity and the whole vast panorama of the universe that we call the cosmos is only a fleeting bit of electrical phenomena. Now that the problem is breaking its way Into engineering calculations it assumes a new and rather practical importance.

Mr. Ackerman was studying the voltages and shape of the wave fronts of electrical surges that race up and down transmission lines that have been hit by lightning and sometimes Jump over protective de vices, get into power houses and wreck costly machinery. He needed some accurate figures on the exact voltages he was dealing with in these surges. He used a cathode ray osciljpgraph to measure the voltages. Tube Takes 60,000 Volts.

These'voltages run up to hundreds of thousands or even a million and required something far more sub stantial than the small oscillograph used in the laboratory, so he designed one using 60,000 volts on its plate. A cathode ray oscmograpn in principle of operation is very much like an ordinary amplifying tube in a radio set. The most elaborate radio set does not use more than 500 volts on its biggest power tube, so it can be figured out that a 60,000 volt tube is a pretty husky apparatus. A cathode ray tube is so called because it produces a stream of cathode rays, made up of electrons, Baldwin Raps, Assembly for Delay on Bills Measures to Prevent Reopening of the Budget Sidetracked, He Hints Alderman Joseph C. Baldwin protested against what he called "the improper action of the Assembly In refusing to accept my bills last week until they had been approved by the Bill Drafting Commissioner," at yesterday's meeting of the Alder-manic branch of the Municipal He introduced three versions of his bill to repeal the 1925 law giving the city administration power to make salary increases after the annual budget has been adopted.

Baldwin attacked the bill-drafting bureau and declared that "when there is a bill of real importance to be drafted the administration appeals to the Corporation Counsel rather than to the BUI Drafting Commissioner." Thomas Ryan, Democrat, of Brooklyn, introduced a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee to investigate "the enormous increase in telephone rates" scheduled to go into effect Feb. 1. The measure was referred to the committee on rules. Commissioner Greeff of the Department of Hospitals requested approval of the contract and plans for work on the new main building of the Kings County Hospital before yesterday's meeting of the Board of Estimate. The program calls for an expenditure of $1,965,000.

Action on the matter was laid over for one week. The request of the trustees of the Queensboro Public Library for appropriation of $125,000 for the purchase of a site for the Flushing Makes Protest Against Films Says Movies Misrep resent the Country- Controversy Is Begun Br KATIBAH Special Correspondent ol The Eagle.) Cairo, Jan. 10 Is Egyptian na tionalism "self-satisfied," and do Egyptians get easily chafed and irritated by the criticism ot foreign ers? Or is it that foreigners are un duly overbearing and superciliously patronizing In their attitude to Egyptians, particularly to modern Egyptian nationalists? The pros and cons of this vital issue are being aired today on the pages of the Egyptian Gazette, a newspaper published In English In Alexandria, and al Baiagn, tne Arabic organ of the Wafd party in Cairo. It Is rather a belated discussion around an incident resuscitated from the days when Mary Plckford and Douglas Fairbanks were visitors in Egypt about two months ago. Qn the occasion of their visit a group of young Egyptians, gradu- ates of Oxford and Cambridge Universities, wished to entertain the illustrious guests at a dinner, which, owing to the crowded program of the two popular movie stars, bad to be given up.

Protects Film Pictures of Egypt Following this incident, one of those young Egyptians, Hilmy Mak-ram Ebeid, graduate of law from Cambridge University, and brother of the present Egyptian Minister of Finance, William Kakram Ebeid, took advantage of Doug's and Mary's presence in Egypt to point out to them good-naturedly that there has been a tendency among certain cinema producers to represent Egypt and the Orient "In very dark, even black, colors," and, unlike Oliver Cromwell, who enjoined his painter to paint him exaatly as he was, even with an ugly pimple on his face, those producers "give ill-proportioned attention to the pimple on Egypt's face, and hardly paint the face at all." "We Egyptians," says Ebeid in his article, "are either shown in the cinema as wicked Oriental potentates who are only too eager to wreak vengeance on the harmless and the innocent, or else we are made to be mere riff-raff with loose morals and low, treacherous ways. I think it is hardly fair that a nation with a proud past and great future possibilities should go on being misrepresented in this fashion, and we would appeal to our distinguished visitors, having been on the spot, to bring pressure to bear on tne cinema autnonties with a view to giving a more realistic picture of Egypt and the Egyptians. Breaking Away From Old Things. "We are quickly breaking away from our old pastoral or Eastern civilisation and entering an era where Western methods are dominant." Mr. Eoeid pieaas mac 11 cinema producers abstain from mispresent ing certain nations, and avoid scenes that excite racial prejudices and passions, "they will have transferred the real seats of peace from Locarno and Geneva to Hollywood and Los Angeles "A well-wisher," presumably an Englishman, but certainly a Westerner, who does not wish to let well- enough alone, took issue with Mr.

Ebeid and made rejoinder to him in the columns of the same paper, denying that therd is in Egypt, "to a degree capable of being studied, a refined life strongly imbued wltii healthy Western ideals," adding, "though the foreign yoke has been got rid of, the bond of national self-satisfaction remains a bond more restricting and far harder to bear." Controversy Expands. And that is how the trouble started. Al-Balagh took up the fight, translating Mr. Ebeld's original article, Mr. Well-Wisher's reply, and a rebuttal by Mr.

Ebeid to Mr. Well-Wisher's reply. The Egyptian Gazette did not choose to sit on the fence of neutrality, and added its contribution, In the form of an editorial, to the merry. If hot, debate. Mr.

tfhpirl. wh.n Interviewed bv the writer, did not show signs of abatement or withdrawal, promising to reply in turn to the Egyptian Gazette's editorial, which, he claims, was not altogether impartial and did not present the issue in the true light. From what Mr. Ebeid said and wrote on the matter, we gather that modern Egyptian nationalism is not necessarily self-satisfied, although it may be a little 'self-conscious, but it is the Western attitude of domineering which has driven the East to one of self-defense and self-assertion. Questions Ebeid's Claim.

The Egyptian Gazette, questioning Mr. Ebeld's claim of Egypt's share in "first-class thinkers," reminds him that the two modern Egyptians who contributed something in that line, Dr. Taha Hussein, professor of Arabic literature at the Egyptian University, and Shaykh All Abdul-Razlk, Mohammedan reformer, were persecuted by their own countrymen. Furthermore, Egypt's modern movement at best fs an imitation and copying of Western achievements. Till now Egypt has not shown any serious efforts at creating a native, Egyptian culture of her own.

Perhaps there Is no such thing today as a pure Egyptian culture, but Egypt Is leading the other Arabic-speaking countries of the East in a renaissance which promises to have far-reaching results. Reopening of Budget Hit By League of Women Voters The Municipal Affairs Commitee of the New York City League of Women Voters, in a letter to Mayor Walker and Controller Berry, made p'iblia toJ.ay, opposes the proposal reopen the city budget for 1930, to insert $4,172,460 for the equalization of salaries of police and firemen. The committee does not oppose the salary increases but feels that the whole principle of annual budeetlns of citv funds is endan gered by this procedure, the letter explains. It is urged that the increases be made effective in the 1931 budget. ae suit ajorwz OCEAN STEAMSHIPS; AUWI Llnea aieeroablp aervlee lortda, the uaroilnaa.

Old-Time Hotels Make Way for Cemetery Plaza Hartigan's and Ryan's Disappearing Before Plans for New Entrance Two Flatbush landmarks are giv lng way before the march of prog' ress. Old timers well remember Hart! gan's and Ryan's hotels which for ore than half a century stood just across the street from the entrance to Holy Cross Cemetery at Tllden and Brooklyn Aves. Because the cemetery Officials want to enlarge the entrance to the cemetery, properties on tne west ol the cemetery entrance down as far as Brooklyn Ave. have been purchased. Hartigan's Hotel already has been torn down and Ryan's will be razed shortly.

Morris Hartigan opened his hos telry about 55 years ago, catering almost entirely to persons visiting tne cemetery. It was the custom in the old days to gather at either Hartigan's or Ryan's for a bite to eat after funeral ceremonies at the Both hotels dia thriving Business during the daylight hours. Upon the death of Mr. Hartigan his son, John, now a Flatbush realtor, operated the hotel. James Ryan was the origlnlal owner of the hotel which bore his name.

Since his death it has been conducted by his sons. Small entrance gates at Holy Cross Cemetery have in the past presented difficulties In the hand ling of large funerals. Cemetery officials will move the entrance for ward to Brooklyn Ave. and make plaza inside the gates to be used in emptying funeral coaches. Holy Cross Cemetery has been, in Flatbush for 75 years and is the largest Catholic cemetery in the boro.

HELD FOR OBSERVATION Bohemia, L. Jan. 29 George Bernard, 40, of this village was com mltted to Central Isllp State Hospital yesterday by Dr. W. A.

The highest observed speed ever obtained by an electron is nine-tenths ot tne speed of light.

The higher tne speea at wnicn the electron moves, the greater is the difference between the voltage indicated and the actual voltage. If no correction were made for this increased mass engineers would be lieve themselves to be working witn voltages that were much lower than the actual existing voltages. This would lead to errors in de sign of protective apparatus and they would be providing less pro tection than they supposed. Engineers, however, are a very conservative group, and they usually work a large factor of safety into their designs, but they do like, to have the figures upon which they base their calculations as accurate as possible. The difference in the calculations based on the mass of an electron at rest and the increased mass of an electron moving under a speed amounted to about 5 percent, Mr.

Ackermann told the Electrical Engineers. "This effect can very well be dem onstrated with the instrument described in this paper," said Mr. Ackermann. "Thus we are brought In direct contact with the realm of the theory of relativity through an apparatus which, on the other tiand, is to serve ordinary engi neering purposes." The formulas which were used by Mr. Ackermann were derived by Lewis R.

Smith of the Westinghouse Laboratories. While one of the for mulas used was derived from an Einstein Relativity formula it could Just as well have been- derived from more classical formulas, as the theory upon which they are based go back beyond Einstein, said Mr. Ack ermann. 1 He did not appear entirely pleased that this angle of his paper attracted more attention from the newspapermen than the more technical phases of his subject.
