AGE-OLD SILT IN SEA YIELDS DATA ON LIFE

SPORES MW HATE BACH TO ORM.IN OF EARTH, SAYS SCIENTIST LA JOLLA. Cal., UP)—Life forms which may (late back to the origin of the earth, and which have rested in a state of suspended animation perhaps for centuries, have been discovered in sediments of the ocetui bottom 100 miles from here. Like infinitely small, dried-up seeds, the bacterial spores have existed in the hard-packed, icyfloor a mile below the surface, waiting for the magic touch of oxygen to permit them to resume life again after lying dormant for ages. Significance of the work of Dr. Claude E. Zollell. young research worker of the Seripps Institution of Oceanography, is debatable. Arguments range from the imaginative concept that toys with the idea similar bacteria may represent the absolute beginning of life, to the critical which points out the method may not

be perfect and the results thus inconclusive. "We cannot say precisely haw long these bacteria have existed," Dr. ZoBell said. "We do believe they have been there for the time geologists tell us is necessary to accumulate the sediments we have penetrated.” Dr. ZoBell and his assistants gathered the bacteria from the floor of the sea with apparatus consisting' of a weighted cylinder on a long cable. The cylinder is dropped into the sediment more than a mile below the surface, and has penetrated to a depth of 20 inches in the ocean floor. Some geologists estimate it would take 100.000 years to deposit a 20-inch layer of sediment. The bacterial spores discovered in the “cores” thus obtained may be divided into two general classifications, aerobes and anaerobes, Dr. ZoBell said. He said they have not been identified definitely because they fit into no known classification. Without committing himself as to exactly how old the bacteria he has discovered may be. he pointed out the recognized work of other scientists already has established that bacteria are the simplest known forms in the evolutionary scale, and that thermophilic anaerobic bacteria could exist on an uncoolcd earth which still lacked

oyxgen. He also pointed out that chemosynthetic bacteria could start to reproduce without either organic matter or sunlight. Unlike the anaeroes. the aeroes. cannot carry on life without oxygen, I although they may remain alive in (he "resting" stage indefinitely. It is believed with the sediment throughout the ages, and the fact they re- | quire oxygen to multiply while there | is no oxygen in the sediment makes j it virtually certain they have remained as they now are found since

deposition.

Like other bacteria, the ones found by Dr. ZoBell can complete in a year the transition from salt water to air, an evolutionary process that in higher forms of life takes millions of years. When removed from the sediment and placed under favorable conditions. the bacteria take up life functions where they have left off centuries ago, grow and multiply normally. Dr. ZoBell said During the transition, they are placed in gradually less salty solutions until able to live in fresh water, then slowly are brought into the air. In caring for them during the transition, it was found they would not live in ordinary culture media, but had to ge kept in a special sea-water solution. and required a refrigerator to

match the near-zero temperature of the ocean bottom. Bacteria at different depths in the 20 inches of sediment explored showed markedly different characteristics. Dr. ZoBell said. Those near the suriace are simlar to known forms existing in salt water and those deeper are entirely different and believed to have come originally from less salty water. The latter theory is drawn from the fact that when removed they are adopted more readily to fresh water conditions. It also gives rise to the imaginative possibility their history dates back to "before the sea was

salt.”

Confirmation of present experiments is expected to be accomplished by further tests in places where the water is shallower but sediments deposits are much more ancient. Dr. ZoBell said. The great depths and strong current make gathering of i present cores excremely difficult, he I

said.

Possible flaws to which some scientists have pointed include the danger of "contamination" of the] tube befor ? it reaches the lower ] depths Dr. ZoBell believes this extremely unlikely because of the great care taken in testing only samples which have had no possible opportunity to have picked up stray bacteria Tke very strangeness of the bacteria themselves is proof of their authentic ity, he is convinced.

to Karen.

Chapter Two Martha was busily engaged ripping the old wall paper from the main hall when she heard (he familiar chug of Dr, Cardin's car Her face lit up, but she continued briskly at her task. Dr. Cardin grinned when he saw her. "I remember you," he said, "when your fare was clean." They were chatting gaily when Karen's voice came from the top landing of the staircase "That you, Joe?’ she called. "Come rn lazy. I need help'' Cardin responded with too obvi-

There was a preverse treak in the girl l hat made her lie when there was no heed for lying, a propensity for (malice that prompted her to poke I her nose into everybody's affairs, and a willingness that enabled her to squirm on* of all responsibility for her misdeeds. Only Karen was too clever for her. and Karen she cordially hated. And Martha too, the little brat, never forgave, for having caught her using a pony in translating her La*in exercises This sort of stuff was trifling, however, to the storm that was brewing among the pupils themselves, because of Mary's delight in scandal. And then there was tha incident of a gold bracelet that was missing and hadn t been found. Karen went marketing that day, and it was the most natural thing in the world that rhe should find herself in the nf'ernoon sipping a soda with Dr. Cardin. "You look tired," Cardin said sud-

ous alactrity. Martha's face grew sad. and . lowly she returned to her tusk. A new source of grief awaited her. The sound of a enr was again heard along the road, and soon a cherubic head poked into the open window, and a chirping voice called into the mom: “Hello. Hello. Hello!" It was Mrs. Morlar. Martha tried hard, bu' ltQSUCC*Mfully, to make her greeting cordial Karen came down the stairs with Cardin They were carrying a chair between them. Karen dropped her end of the chair a‘ the s.gh* of Mrs Mortar But that lady was delighted. "How well you look,” she said to Martha. "Almost pretty." And to Karen “Karen, my dear. Prettier than ever " "I thought you were working, Aunt Lily," Martha said tensely "f was," Mrs. Mortar said airily. Martha was determined to get It over with. "Aunt Lily, er - - - is this a visit? You see. we're not very well equipped here now We've been having a hard time—” "Oh, I know dear," exclaimed Mrs Mortar cheerily. “That's why I'm here; to put mv shoulder to the wheel with you. I knew you'd need an elocution teacher and a general supervisor. Thnl’s why I came And until you get started I shall take only the slightest fee tor my services . . Martha began to laugh hysterically Karen crossed over to her hastily. and pressed her arm. "It’s quite all right Martha" _ la this fashion Mrs. Mortar la-

USE FLOODLIGHTS TO PUSH HIGHWAY WORK Construction work on one section, of Indiana’s first divided-lane high-1 way is proceeding rapidly with a night shift working under flood- 1 lights. James D. Adams, chairman of the Highway Commission, reported today. It is possible that night shifts will work under lights on several other state highway construction pro-' jects as the contractors seek to complete their jobs. Present contracts for the building of the divided-lane highway, on which traftic moving In opposite directions will operate over 22-foot pavements separated by a 44-foot parkway, pro-1 vide for the grading and structures on a relocation of Roast JO across Lake county. Separate contracts are to be awarded for the paving of the two traffic lanes. Floodlights for night work is not a new thing in highway construction. The work on the new action of Road :;6 on which day and night shifts are now employed, is to be completed by July 15. PRIZE WINNING PLAY "Boy Meets Girl." the funniest, fasp it and finest stage show of the year will be seen in the English theater. Indianapolis. Monday and j Tuesday, May IH and 19. with aj matinee on Tuesday. This rip-roar-1 ing comedy based on the making of movies has just received the most coveted honor in the theater, the Dra-1 matin' Guild prize, awarded annually to the play that sends the audience home in the happiest frame of mind., The biggest smash hit of the year. | "Boy Meets Girl" has been running! concurrently in New York and Chi-1 < ngo. the playgoers of both cities t.olding their sides with laughter. I the company that will play Indianapolis has just finished a spectacular tun of four months in Chicago. Seats will go on sale at the English theater, : Indianapolis, on Thursday, May 14 j 'i he gist 0 f the movie formula Is boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl And that is the gist of "Boy Meets Girl.” This good-natured poke at the movie moguls and the people who create the dream stuff for a nation is the wofk of Bella and Samuel Kpewack,. recent collaborators in the Hollywood hive of industry about which they tell all in “Boy Meets Girl." Its dizzy speed and explosive comicalities are due to George * bbott. producer and director, who to authored and staged "Three Men Oil a Horae." i I'he cast is of all-star proportions. I he incidents of the script involve an cnt’ie studio. The playwrights picture two scenarists. Eric Dressier and Harold Vcrmilyea, who promote a baby star, and illustrate just how ae edent sets agile brains to woik to throw new material into familiar mold. Polly Walters as the dumb studio waitress, Nigel Blake as a movie extra. Larry Fletcher, the cowboy star.
