PASADENA, The universe is funning down. Presented as a purely scientific conclusion, such is the statement of Dr. Richard C.

Tolman, noted physical chemist of the California Institute of Technology, ift an address to the Sigma Xi Scientific Society here. Dr. Tolman admits this conclusion probably is untenable for a philosopher, who want to know "who wound the universe or. if nobody wound it up. how could it have been running down for an infinite period of past time and still operate? Taking the position of a court of law rather than that of a speculator in thoughts, the physical chemist of today finds no direct evidence whatsoever to deny the apparent fact that matter is being dissipated into a chaos of worthless scattered energy.

To be sure, only a few species of matter are being actively destroyed in this manner on earth, but the tremendous radiations of the sun and stars are explainable on no other basis. Dr. Tolman points out that future research may prove the atoms of terrestrial matter to be amenable to some setting-off process analogous othe touching of a match )to gunpowder. some of the THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

He is to be seen nearly at the opera in Covent Garden. The prince, however, is not alone among his countrymen in his liking for music, for the members of the Japanese colony in London seem to he especially fond of Wagner and is well represented at every performance of his operas. Four-Year-Old Workers. Poverty, labor shortage, higher wage demands by adults and the large influx of school graduates into industry are blamed for the increased employment of children on German farms. The National German Society for the Protection of Children finds that the average age at which these children begin to work is 10 years, but some begin work at the age of 4 or 5.

The hours of work vary from 2 to 5 hours in Winter and from 2 to 12 the rest of the year. In many cases working conditions are had and the work is unsuited to the strength of children. so-called or new stars, which burst suddenly into view with a brilliance born of terrific temperatures and enormous radiation, may have been set off by a cosmic fuse of some sort. Obviously the control of such forces on earth by man would involve fearful responsibilities. It is not necessary, in the degradation of matter into scattered energy, that large atoms should always break down into small ones.

It is known that hydrogen atoms smallest atoms their own free will combine in quartets to form helium atoms, but release in the process nearly 1 per cent of their substance. The offshoot is transferred into an enormous quantity of energy. Recent calculations show that new cosmic rays, investigated last Summer by Millikan, may well have come from the hydrogen-helium transformation in some distant nebula or star. At least it is known that they do not come from the earth or necessarily from the sun. 1 The transmutation of hydrogen into helium is very slow in most parts of the universe.

So that the accumulated supply of the valuable product is small. The control of the reaction would plainly serve as a tremendous impetus to the airship industry, but jha kejt la the p.uxzle is jiot in HILLTOP EXERCISES UNDER WAY TODAY Sermon at 10:30 Begins 127th Commencement; Hoover Gets Degree Tuesday.
