Astronomers here say it presents the first positive indication they have bad that these tremendous clusters may be connected with one another by grav- ity to furm Independent within the galaxy. The discovery, made by James Cutfey of the Harvard observatory staiT, was the result of numerous extremely accurate computations of the distances from the sun of nine galactic star clusters tn the constel- lation Auriga, the most comprehen- sive and exact measurements of these distances ever made. Ttie two clusters the research showed to be companions are ttiose known as Messier 38, which has a mass about 500 times that of our sun, and NGC 1907, which is about 75 times the mass of the sun. The smaller one, it was found, revolves about the larger cluster with the time required for one complete rev- olution estimated to be about 60,000,-00years. sub-order- s Recently completed studies of a group of nearly 1,000 Chicago children, half of whom stuttered and the other half of whom did not, reveal that twins are found twice as frequently in stuttering families, Miss Derry declares. In addition, m stuttering families containing both twins and single children, stuttering is more frequent among the twins." Because of the apparent connection between stuttering and twin ning, which is believed to be hereditary. Miss Berry also believes that stuttering is passed from one generation in a family to the next. The belief that the affliction is largely I chological now finds itself, she states, on shifting sands. chll-- j Five hundred dren and 402 children who stuttered were studied in four Chicago hospitals to determine the possible con-- ! nection between stuttering and twin-- i 0 Colors Drtei mine Distance. painstaking study of the colors of fime such groups in Auriga led to the conclusion that these two clusters constitute a system.

A third and still larger clutter, Messier 36. is also believed to be physically connected with the other two groups for it too is about 28,000 light years from the sun. It is about 150 light years from the first A g rung. Comes In. sets of twins were found in the immediate families of the stutterers as against only 15 sets famiof twins in the lies, she reports. Of the 30 families of stutterers containing both twins and single children, 22 of 55 twins stuttered, while only 13 of 99 single children were afflicted, indicating a further connection between stuttering and twinning. The high frequency of the speech defect among twins was connected by Miss Berry with the previously reported fact that both stuttering and twinning have been connected with Stuttering is four times more frequent among than it is among people who use their right hands. is also found to occur six times more often among twins than among the remainder of liie population. The delay in learning to speak found among twin babies will also be recalled by Miss Berry, who believes that it may have something to do with the stuttering among tw ms. o s j ET us have our peach dessert3 in abundance while theres a generous amount of this fruit on the market.

Eventually the term was placed at four years and a clause forbidding which had been inserted, was stricken out. Popular belief is that George Washington not only set the precedent for his successors by refusing a third term but that he also expressed his disapproval of the idea. That is only partly true. As previously pointed out in this article, Washington renounced a third term primarily because he was old and tired.
