A'Fountain Of Youth' For Rats
Is Found In Bacon's Precepts

F

ITHACA, N. Y., March 12 - UP)-
A fountain of youth and of good
looks which Lord Francis Bacon knew
and described, but which the world
overlooked, has been rediscovered in
the Cornell university laboratory ofI
animal nutrition.
There a colony of a dozen rats
lives, more than 1,200 days old, the
equivalent of 120 years of human life.
All were still youthful when rats nor-
mally become senescent. All retained
their fine silky hair, which is rat
equivalent for a baby complexion.
Their unequalled records, all more
than double normal lifetimes, were
due to diet, of the kind which the
Elizabethan scientist urged. Bacon
did not know the formula, which
Cornell worked out, but he had the
principle right.
Wrote Six "Rules"
Six precepts he wrote for long life,
which recently Dr. C. M. McCay of
the Cornell laboratory found in some
old collection. They read, in brief:
1 -Longevity is obtained by diet.
2 - Spare diet produces longevity.
3 - Animals which come later to
perfection are longer lived.
4 -To grow long and slowly is a
sign of longevity. The taller
the stature the better.
5 - I would have men observe that
the same things that conduce
to health do not always con-
duce to longevity.
6 --Again there are other things
that are beneficial to longer
life, yet not without danger to
health.
Thefirst four of these observations
the Cornell diet experiments have
substantiated. The dangers men-
tioned in the last two are not so well
established, although they are signs
that they may exist.
Calories Reduced
Just one small change in diet pro-
duced the long-lived rats. This was

a reduction of daily food calories of
about 33 per cent. Otherwise they
ate the same as their "control" com-
panions, all of which died more than
half a rat century ago.
They failed, however, to stand heat
waves as well as the ordinary rats.
Otherwise they appeared to be in
complete health. They were as ac-
tive. They did not mature until the
age of two years, just about when
their companions were ready to die
of old age.
One ill of the flesh their diet failed
to stay. This was cataract and eye
troubles. Their eyes seemed to grow
old at about ordinary rates.
When they die it is hoped the body
tissues of these rats will reveal some
of the unknown causes of old age.
The processes probably will apply to
men as well as rats. Many men grow
old before their time. Science sus-
pects that all persons age faster than
is necessary.

MORE NAZIS
SANTIAGO, Chile, March 12. - ()
-Organization of a nationwide unit
of the National Socialists, called
"Tropas Nacistas de Asalto," or
"storm troops," has been completed
by Fernando Ortuzar, one of the right
hand men of Jorge Gonzalez, Nazi
chieftain.

Capt. Corniglion Molinier and Andre Malraus reported from
French Somoliland that they had found the lost capital of the Queen
of Sheba. The explorers said 20 towers or temples still stand at the site
which they gave as the northern edge of the great sandy desert in
Arabia as shown in map at left. They reported they had taken photo-
graphs of the ruins. If the two are correct in the belief, they have
ended a search conducted by scientists for centuries. The land of Sheba

--Associated Press Photo
in Biblical times was one of the wealthiest in the then known world.
The second Book of Chronicles hinted at this wealth in describing the
visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon when it said: "And she
gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold and of spices great
abundance and precious stones." At right is an old steel engraving
depicting the Queen's visit to Solomon.

The initiates include: Benjamin
Myerow, '37; Jack Chason, '37; Ed-

'37E; Milton Mintz, '37; John Man-

May Postpone
Anti-War Meet
Due T o Conf1l
UThe anti-war conference to be con-
ducted by the Michigan League
Against War and Militarism may face
postponement if plans for a meeting
of the campus League of Nations or-
ganization are carried out. The dates
for the latter meeting, April 20 and
21, would cause a week's postpone-
ment of the anti-war conference.
Gordon Halstead, Grad., chairman
of the organization committee for the
conference, is seeking to bring Kirby
Page and Scott Nearing to Ann Ar-
bor to address the conference. Pub-
licity is being sent to all colleges and
junior colleges in Michigan and a
poster contest to announce the con-
ference is being considered.
All campus organizations are in-
vited to send delegates to the con-
ference and the production of an
anti-war play is being considered by
the committee.

~so..
kesterlields are
not/lie others
N O two people in the world look
alike ... act alike. So it is with
tobacco... just like folks.
No two leaves are the same.
And it's the same with cigarettes...
no two brands are alike.
Furthermore, not only are the to-
baccos different, but the way the to-
baccos are handled is different.
This, you can understand.
You know just as well as we d+
that no two manufacturers use the
same kinds of tobaccos, or blend them
or cross-blend them or weld them
together in the same manner.
We do everything that science
knows and that money can buy to
make CHESTERFIELD as good a
cigarette as can be made.
We hope you like them. They are
"not like others."

Well I never in my life see such an exhibition of sheer cussedness on
e part of a motor. It is as temperamental probably as the original pos-

the two-mile course, the engine finally gives a horrible roar, and we

if the time I am headed goodness knows where.
We are tearing along at quite a rate and I notice for the first time
y the motor superstructure is all covered with oil. There is a hole that
ps it onto the flywheel and it goes in all directions including on me.
