WORLD MAY GET 1 TIME GONG STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal., (UP) A ticklish time for watchmakers is in store, according to Dr. Walter H. Bucher, professor of geoU gy at Stanford ur.iversity, who predicts the day when a powerful radio station will supply the entire world with synchronized Pme "Man has become exceedingly artful in the measurement of time,” says Dr. Bucher, "and already possesses instruments and techniques to register millionths of a second or millions of years. The speed of uetenating nitroglycerine, moving at approximately five miles a second, can be observed as it parses from one exploding molecule to the next ,a length of time which in a’gebraic ratio would be to one second as one second is to 414,000

years.”

Dr. Bucher declares i iflo bullets whistling through the air at 3.000 feet a second, can be photographer with the aid of delicate timing devices, as they proceed each third of a millimeter. “At the other extreme,” states Dr. I Bucher, “scientists have found a piece of ore in northern Russia which they estimate with fair accuracy to be 1.850,000.000 years old. "The age of a bit of ore from the

Black Hills region of the United States has been fixed at 1,406.000,000 years.” These ages. Dr. Bucher explains, are ascertained through chemical analysis of radio-active ores, in which the rate of disintegration of the radio-active element into a stable substance is known. "Civilization has beer exacting," declares Dr. Bucher, “in its demand for exact time. At the United States Naval Observatory, the instruments are housed under ground and are inspected through periscopes. Astronomers examine the stars and find the length of day and radio and telegraph service is brought into use to spread the exact time throughout the

country.

“These are a few of the reasons why I predict that within a few years, a powerful radio station will supply the entire world with synchronized time, thus saving much expense for keeping of different systems as at present, and also making posisble difficult experiments in relativity at various astronon ical obser-

vatories.”

HARVARD GRADUATES NO BETTER OFF THAN OTHERS NEW YORK. (UP) — Harvard graduates are no better off than other college men 25 yeais after commencement. John T. Tunis concludes in a new book. “Was College Worth While?” published bv Harcourt, Brace Hard as it may be on the dignity of America’s oldest educational institution, it is no less painful to Tunis, himself a member 'f the class of 1911. It was his person'll interest in that class, 25 years after graduation, that led the author into the revealing if confounding bypaths of his classmates. He found 541, or no per cent of the living graduates of Harvard 1911 Their status, for men launched into the world with educational silve; spoons in their mouths, is disconcerting to the author. For these men have contributed no more to the world, made no more momy, and certainly are no happier, than the 1911 graduates of Nebraska or Siwasli. But Tunis cannot answer the title question of his book Measured by contributions to the world of those Harvardmen of 1911. their education was not worth while. Speaking for themselves, however, the men of Cambridge say their schooling was of incalculable esthetic and socia' value even if it didn’t help them earn

a dime.

But collectively. Tunis woefully admits. his class has “done little for the world at large beyond thi fact that many of us have been good citizens raised families, and paid taxes.” The authvr excuses his generation somewhat because, six years old o’" college, these men were thrust into the world war, and 10 years after they returned home and made a new start the depression overtook them and uprooted their lives anew. What is the Tiarvard g’ - aduate lik' after 25 years? From this book wo get the following picture: Mr. Harvard is 46 years old. vigorously healthy, with an income of $4,400 yearly. He is proud of his wife, a graduate of Wellesley or Radcliffe who earns her own spending money outside her home, tie has two children and his sons are now at Harvard, or in prvate preparatory

schools.

He is a vehement Republican, a bitter anti-new dealer, bu‘ does nothing to correct government abuse except to criticize. He goes to church and is fundamentally religious. He J reads ten books a year, the Saturday | Evening Post, and the newspaper sports pages. His radio tunes out J symphony, tunes in Eddie Cantor. In summer he plays a good game J of tennis, and miserable golf. In win- | ter he skiis and pursues energetically a hobby such as stamp collecting. He works 13 hours a day and in the evening likes to drink whiskey witli his 1 friends. But he cannot event write a business letter with correct gramj mer. punctuation and spelling. | The book runs along interestingly not statistically. It tells of (he Harvard graduate of 1911 who, a hobo, hasn’t slept in a bed in five years, i and of courageous battles of these | Harvardmen to start new professions after losing their shirts in the depression. Now 14 per cent of the class of 1911 is on relief, and fully 50 per cent is dissatisfied with it« life work. One salient fact is that more graduates of Harvard in 1911 became bona fide dirt farmers than del graduates of the University o' Nebraska the same year.

1 I.NUOLN LOST LAST LAWSUIT SPRINGFIELD, 111.. (UP) — Recently discovered court records here have disclosed that Abraham Lincoln lost his last case as a practicing lawyer. The records were uncovered in the clerk's room if the fedeial building during an inventory of federal records that was being taken recently. They show that Lincoln’s last law case was filed on June 22 1860. In 'hat case Lincoln and his partner, Herndon, defended William Ellsworth in an ejectment proceeding. The suit asking for the ejectment of Ellsworth from his premises was won by the plaintiff, the court holding that in addition to paying damages of one cent Ellsworth also relinquish the land involved. A study of the records for the period between 1855 and 1860 showed that Lincoln had a total of 89 law cases on file during that period. The records are believed to be the oldest existing pertaining to Illinois in the federal courts and in the United States. They are copies of originals which were sent to Chicago and later destroyed in the Chicago fire of 1871, according to court attaches. The general court docket, which is part of the records uncovered, showed that Lincoln was especially popular as a lawyer, with railroads and big companies. He also handled many cases for clients in reduced circumstances. Originally filed in the circuit court, the cases were transferred to the district court in 1911. when it was established. and consequently are fed-

OLY.MPH S OVER, RERUN FINDS FOOD SCARCE I i BERLIN. (UP)—The recent Olympics were a real country fair for German housewives with families to feed. Now that the game sare over, the same housewives are 'inding difficulty in buying what they want in the markets. Everything was available during the first two weeks in August. There was pork and beef aplenty. Visitors from the German provinces marvelled at the fact that store windows ac- j tually displayed whole crates of eggs —a startling event in view of the 1 fact that since last v inter’s egg shortage Germany’s supply of hen | fruit has never come back to normal. | The eggs so displayed were Finnish, Swedish and Danish, brought in | with the scanty supply of German : funds now available for trade in foreign countries. Now that the Olympic games are over and there is no longer any need ] to meet the demands of thousands of foreign guests in Germany, eggs are again growing scarcer. It has become so that they are invariably unobtainable in parts of the city. As to meats, butchers who go tc central distributing depots to get their day's supply of cuts of beef and other meats are now forced to show what their recent turnover in such products has been—and then they | usually are able to purchase only ! half of what they want. And if their ! tax papers are not full” in order, j they arc apt to get nothing whatever. The army draws a huge supply of j meats and other food, and with the j domestic supply insufficient and the I trade financial situation such as it is | today, the general public sometimes I gets left. First official notice of the meat I shortage came last week when news- | papers announced that supplies j | would be better in the fall. Simultaneously, the Nazi Farmers’ I- ague announced: I “We actually have I wo million | head, or 9 per cent more swine than a year ago, but they are not yet ready for slaughter, since we have ben unable, as in previous yeais. to augment our scant domestic fodder with imports. In addition, the i weather has ben bad fe- the harvest.” The statement predicted that Oc-I tober would see an increase in slaughtering and promised more deliveries of beef with the return of cattle from

summer pasturage, ano conclude! that the German people would do well to eat more fruit, vegetables and fish during the interim. It is recalled that on several occalions recently Nazi official organs lave suggested that Germans “eat too much meat anyway” and that they should reduce the average of 55 kilos per year to half or one-third of

The fact is that the army, in adlition to its huge daily consumption 'f the best meat, draws constantly "or more for conversion into “iron raions" storable against need. Meantime the press continues to 'mphasize spreading hunger in Russia, pointing out recent a'leged food

riots there.

There is no acute shortage of anything as yet, but it is believed that the late fall or early winter will see a repetition of last year’s "butter lines” and “egg hunts,” in which Berliners sneaked behind counters o*' food stoics and whispered to clerks: "How about saving me two or three eggs tomorrow or next clay?” finds rhythm rules sleep CAMBRIDGE, Mass., <UP' When you roll over in bed for a final snooze
