Show THE BULLETIN Keping Up Longer Life Is Hope From Study of Age, Scientists Hold WNU Scmua. Twenty Billion Years Is Age of Universe, Scientist Declares Harvard Findings Differ With Dritish Estimate The CAMBRIDGE, MASS. universe is not so old after all! Flatly contradicting Sir James Jeans' figure of ten million times a million years for the age of the universe, Dr. Bart J. Bolt of the Harvard college observatory has found tbat Dumber approximately Bve hundred timet too high. Twenty billion years la the upper illmit of the age of the universe, as jviewed by Doctor IJuk. Jeans' lung .time scale does not fit with the evidence of afar clusters, with the known facta of the rotation of the Milky Way system or with the existing theories of the creation of the spiral nebulae. Nor doea It explain the existence In the same alar cluster or "young" red glaut stars and of "old" dwarf stars. "The giants with their tremendous energy output can hardly hare existed for much longer than lO.OUl.UOti years, unlets we wish to make the as yet unfounded hypothesis that the energy radiated away is being replenished in some unknown fashion from surrounding space," Doctor Bok said. A Stellar Catastrophe. "We found it unlikely." he concluded, "that the observed clusters bare existed for more than twenty billion years as groups of stars. Lemaitre's theory of the expanding universe Indicates tbat a catastrophe took place a few billion years ago, and It Is tempting to place the origins of the atars and stellar systems at the epoch of this catastrophe." Hundreds of star clusters. Including tbe well known Pleiades, Ilyades, and Taurus, would now be on the verge of disintegrating all at once, torn apart by the gravitating forces or the Milky Way, ir they had been In existence as long as Jeans believes, Doctor Bok has found.

Diseases or the heart and blood vessels which today take first place as cause or death are due not so much to "germs" nnd poisons as to the process or growing old. At Columbia university the problem Is being attacked by a study of the aging process .Itself. An Important first step was taken when one of the Columbia Investigators, Dr. Henry & Sluinis, round that the body cells of aging animals will grow outside the body In what are called tissue cultures Just as rendily as cells from the bodies of very young animals. Study Aging Process. While the cells or aged animals will grow us readily, however, another Columbia sclemlrit round that some of these aged cells do not function at well. It seems to depend on which organs or tbe body the pells came rrom. This seems to parallel the fact that some organs or the body, the heart, for Instance, wear out and are unable to keep going or functioning normally earlier than other organs. The cells from the lymph glands and the liver showed the greatest decrease In functional activity. Long Time Required. "Just how much significance Is to be attached to these observations Is not known at present," Dr. James W. Job-linprofessor of pathology at Columbia College of Physicians and Burgeons, said In describing the studies of aged tissues. "But we hope to expand and continue this phase of the work, for it Is possible that here we may find some clew to tbe answers we are seeking.

C.VSV MrvlM. annual spring rush of to Washington Is on. In Nation's Capital even the perennial visitor Is greeted with something new to enjoy. This year new buildings, recently oiiened, In and near the great triangle between the Capitol and the Ellipse, will be a feature of a tour of the city. Gaze down upon the modern Washington from an airplane. As always, the simple grandeur of the White House, the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, and the towering Washington monument draw the eye and make the heart beat faster. But near them new wouders have appeared. Quietly und ateadily, with so little fuss that residents were hardly aware of It, thousands of carloads of stone and metal whole mountains In the aggregate have been hauled Into the city and reared into monumental buildings. Acres and acres of old, unsightly structures have been razed on Capitol Hill, around Its base, and along broad, historic Pennsylvania avenue. In their place stretch parks, wide boulevards, or long, handsome houses of govern- Tllti ment In the angle formed by the Intersection of Pennsylvania avenue and the new Constitution avenue, beautiful Champs-Elysee- s or Rue de Rlvoll of Washington, rises a mighty wedge of masonry, the famed "Federal Triangle," eight blocks long. In this single group Is the most amazing a collection of government buildings that the world has seen. They make their own weather. In hottest summer the air Inside Is cooled to tbe temperature of a fine spring day. Beneath the roofs of this Triangle work nearly 20,000 government employees, about as many as the entire population of Bntavla, N. T., or Day-ton- a Beach, Fla. Every day doxena of people get lost In Its 20 miles of corridors. Massive and Beautiful. In sheer size the cluster of buildings Is staggering, even from high above. It la as if half a dozen or more of New York's tallest skyscrapers have been laid on their sides, formed Into a blunted arrowhead, and cut and twisted to make courts and wings. One unit the Commerce department Is longer than the Chrysler building is tall.

The airplane turns, and far off In the distance, beyond the Capitol dome, appears a gleaming white marble tem ple, comparable In beauty even to the noble Lincoln Memorial. This Is the new United States Supreme Court building, the only real home of its own that tbe nation's highest court has bad. For the first time In American his tory a citizen now might gsse upon the separate, permanent abodes of tbe three branches of his government legislative, the Capitol; executive, the White House, and now, for tbe Judl clal, long sheltered In the old senate chamber, this temple whose dignity and impresslveness match the majesty of the law Itself.

But to look upon the latest crowning glory of Capitol hill one should stand on the front steps of the Capitol, where Presidents are Inaugurated, and see the new Supreme Court building, its beauty heightened by the green of trees and grass. It occupies a historic site. Early patriots In powdered wigs forgathered at a famous old hotel run by William Tunnicllff on this spot before the War of 1812. After the British burned the Capitol In 1814, a building erected here housed congress until the marks of the torch were erased. In Civil war times It was used as a military prison. Everything about the Supreme court's home Is on a majestic scale. Look at those blocks of marble, one nt each side of the steps. Each block weighs 43 tons. They are two of the heaviest marble blocks ever brought Into Washington. The two bronze doors weigh 3,000 pounds apiece. The eight Corinthian columns are 51 feet high. The pediment above them catches the eye, not alone for Its size, but for Its Interesting sculptures In which the features of historic or living men are recognized. Inside the massive bronze portals a main hall lined wltb 30 stately columns each made from one solid piece of stone leads to the courtroom where the nine black-robe- d Justices sit At their own request the room was made only about CO per cent larger in floor area than the old Supreme court room In tbe Capitol. Behind the courtroom are the offices of the Justices, each of whom will have about as much space as all had together In the crowded Capitol Only three had offices there at all, and most of the memliers of the court do much of their work at home. To assure the Justices privacy, the new building's corridors can be closed by big bronze gates. Wonderful Libraries. In the Folger Shakespeare library, down the street, reposes a fine collection of books and Elizabethan treasures, even the supposed corset of Queen Elizabeth, solemnly stowed away In a vault and shown only to a chosen few. Behind the Library of Congress an annex almost to double Its capacity Is being built although already It Is the largest library In the world, with more than 9,840,000 books, pamphlets, pieces of music, and other Items at the latest merely to pay the Interest on this loan. Few people, however, feel vitally concerned about the money lost due to the rusting of their property. Dr. It. M. Burns of tbe Bell Telephone laboratories here points out, however, that this loss due to rust Is approximately as large as the interest on the public debt One of the most widely used rust preventives Is paint, and 120,000,000 gallons are used annually; one gallon for every person In the country.

The germ theory of disease Is much older than the discoveries of Louis Pasteur, with whose name It is associated because he was the first to make practical use of it according to the Medical society of the state of New York.

At this moment the grasshoppers arrived by millions and settled on his farms. Wasn't a thing for the 'hoppers to eat but they were too tired to move on and Leonard almost lost hope. As a last gesture, however he rushed out among the despondent grasshoppers, sitting there In the dust and planted several sets of the strongest and hardiest onions he could buy. To bis surprise the onions matured quickly. The moment their bulbs appeared above ground the grasshoppers pounced on them, ate ravenously and burst Into tears.
