“Well, now, if you'd asked me that when I was a sophomore in high school I'd been able to tell you the answer right off the bat.” That was the answer to the question: “Well, how do you relax?” The interrogator was one of the septuagenarians at the Indianapolis School of Maturates. The hesitant answerer was the Rev. Charles M. Fillmore, leader of the group, at the Y. W. C. A. The school was founded three years ago by the Rev. Mr. Fillmore for persons more than 65. There are about 100 members. About 30 attend each meeting. The question about relaxing started when Dr. Fillmore read from a clipping telling little-known things about the human body. The clipping said there were 208 bones in the body. Somebody said there were only 206 because there

were three instead of four bones in each ear. “How can. you expect to relax with all those bones?” another asked. The answer came from Elwood Lawson, 217 BE. Vermont St. “Half of those bones are in the feet and hands,” he said. “The best way to relax is to take .ff your shoes—and just. relax.” After that the talk got around to diet and the members compared notes on new kinds of bread. Dr. Fillmore gave them a recipe with diastatic malt in it. A man in the back of the room said he'd been eating cracked wheat bread and found it pretty good. “It must be very good. I've been using it about five months now and every time this Bud here ‘(indicating a 70-odd-year-old beside him)

sees me he says I look younger.”

The national School of Maturates was founded by Dr. W. A. McKeever in Oklahoma City eight years ago on the premise that ‘persons over 70 are the most neglected ‘group of all.” There are about 10 schools in the country now and about 5000 members. Their chief aims are to eat correctly and not worry. They stay out of politics, too. Dr. Fillmore said there were some Townsendites in the group buf they weren't allowed to talk about it at meetings. He said Dr. McKeever had told them they could think the way they wanted to but “not to be taken in too completely by any panaceas.” Dr. Fillmore looks about 50. He has evidently really found out all about relaxing because he admitted Hat Yiun a few months he will

guests in advance of public demonstrations tomorrow and Saturday. The “philesopher’s stone” trick with the platinum and the atomic ray performance were only two items en a program which- also shows why incendiary bombs can destroy normally non-inflammable structures and what happens to masonry piers under 300 tons’ pressure. Dean George B. Pegram of the Columbia graduate faculties and Prof. John R. Dunning of the Department of Physics, who direct the show, do not insist that the conversion of platinum into gold is sound economics, but they do feel that it gives a rough idea of the power wrapped up in the atom.

“Cooks” Several Hours

A thin sheet ‘of platinum and a long glasswand with a tiny speck of radium in one end were placed in a heavy lead container and set aside for several hours to “cook.” As Dean Pegram and Prof. Dunning explained it, the radium acted like “a thousand machine guns trained on one target,” shooting atomic particles into the platinum. Under such treatment the platinum, the tomic weight of which is 195.25, took on substance and became gold, which has an atomic of 1972. Dunning himself was the in pig” for a demonstration which eaused atomic particles to shoot from his fingers at a tremendous rate. : A small amount of table salt was placed in Columbia's atom-smash-ing cyclotron.

Neutrons Bombard Salt

The salt was bombarded by neutrons, uncharged atomic bodies, until it had built up so much energy that it became radioactive and emitted a stream of charged atomic particles after the manner of radium. Mr. Dunning then dissolved the salt in water and drank the solution. No sparks came out of his ears but Mr. Dunning was able, by means of a “counter” device, to trace the course of the solution

through his body. |

POWER FARMING PUSHED IN STATE

Educational Campaign to Be Mapped at Parley Here Tomorrow.

Plans for a state-wide program to educate farmers on the advantages of electricity will be discussed at a conference tomorrow in the Hotel Lincoln, Richard Dell, state director of the Rural Electrification Administration, said today. Agricultural extension workers from Purdue University, county agents, REA officials and superintendents and board members of the 42 rural electrification, co-operatives in Indiana are scheduled to attend. The program was announced in Washington by Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace, who said that $16,852,195 had beén allotted for rural lines in Indiana and that he was anxious for all farmers adjacent to these lines to take service. Mr. Dell said that the efucational campaign will stress the value of electricity on the farm as a profitmaker and a Jabor-saver. “Many farmers do not realize that poultry lighting, electric refrigeration, electric feed grinding and electric brooding increase farm income. Agricultural engineers and other fa authorities will give a series demonstrations to demonstrate conclusively the advisability of power farming.”

They do not say so in %0 many words, but the fact that their sketch of Vice. President -Garner is the first in their 288-page book suggests [that they believe him to be the No. 1 “Dixie Demagogue. » Mr. Garner is called the ‘Texas Coolidge,” who has “proved that a man can go a: long way by deing little more than keeping his mouth shut.” His public life, the book says, “has been amazingly barren of achievement.” Its net effect, according to the two writers, “has been as deadening and destructive to the South” as the careers of Cotton Ed Smith, Tom Heflin or The Man
