NOTES AND NEWS An Image of Lord Adinath 84 feet high. Nagar Seth Nathulal Jain, Secretary of Sri Digambar Siddha Kshetra, Chulagiriji, writes in an appeal for fund as follows:
"In Chulagiri a village in the Badwani State there is a very ancient and beautiful image of Lord Adinath 84 feet in height cut out of a single rock on the hill. In the whole of India no other image has yet been found equal to this in height and grandeur. Being exposed to heat and rain some portions of the image have become worn out. To protect the image from further ruin the Malwa Provincial Sabha passed a resolution during its annual meeting in Badwani to build a covering over the head of the image. Rs 7,840 were subscribed on the spot. Rs. 15,000 were collected by Munim Gulabchandji during his tour for this purpose. With the help of these amounts an umbrella-like covering has been constructed at the top. Now the work of repairing the image is taken up. Since much money is required for this purpose, the Jains are requested to contribute liberally to the fund."
Dr. Einstein's formula for success. Dr. Professor Albert Einstein is a great German Scientist and Philosopher. A representative of a great newspaper who visited him and had an interview with him, writes :
"I asked him what he considered the formula for success in life. He smiled and thought for a minute.
"If 'a' is success in life," he replied, "I should say that the formula is : a = x y 2, x being work and y being play.''
"And what," I asked, “is z ?" " That" he answered, " is keeping your mouth shut.”
