No Immediate Danger
of Sun Becoming Old

The age of the sun has been
fixed at something between 1000
100000 and 3,O0O,OOO.OO0 years.
Prof. Walter. Nernst, after re-
searches, announced ut a meeting
in Berlin, says the Detroit News.
The estimates are based In part
on the rate. of decomposition OF
radioactive elements and In, part
on deductions from Einstein's
theory Of relatively concerning the
relation between mass and energy.
Early estimates set the age Of
the sun as low as 100000 years,
but biologists showed, this was too
short to allow for the erosion and
other changes observed in the crust
OF the earth since it became solid.
The radioactive decomposition of
uranium to lead Is more accurate
cOslnic clock, and this indicates
that the solid crust of the earth
has existed for at least one and
One-half billion years. According
to Nernst the sun. while getting
past middle age, is still good for
4O0,O00,O0O years, after which \
crust will form on it's surface and
life such as we know 1t will cease
upon the earth. t-,.a .e...

New York, July 9.-Political spell.
binders for the campaign Of 1924
will have to develop a new style
of oratory.
The small-time, second-rate speech
makers that heretofore have beer
used to fill in at the meetings in the
town hall and the village crossroads
will no longer play an important
part in shaping public thought OF
the campaign issues.
The big figures in state and ma.
tional politics, who can speak con
vincingly and authoritatively, will
have vastly increased audiences and
influence. 49,.
All this will be due to radio, which
will be utilized by all parties ia
transmit their campaign arguments
as presented by their biggest spokes-
men, to the most remote parts Of
the country.
But the old style Of spread-eagle
oratory, delivered in impassioned
tones and with much frantic gesti-
culation, is not good radio oratory
Neither is the long winded, thin
spun speech lasting for an hour OF
more.
To hold radio audience, accord
ing to c. B. Popenoe, program direc-
tor of Station WIZ, political orators
will have to condense. The speaker
who can compress his message into
Is or 20 minutes, presenting it clear
ly, logically and convincingly, will
develop following that will "tune
in" on him whenever he is broad
casting.
The speaker, however, who by in
dulging in flowery rhetoric and
pretty perorations, prolongs his
speech to longer than half an hour
will be deserted by his audience.
It's one thing to get up and walk
out of a hall when you are tired or
bored by a speaker, and quite an
other to get off the air if he fails to
interest you. The first attracts I'M
pleasant attention, is an obvious dis
courtesy to the speaker, and an an
noyance to others in the audience.
The latter is accomplished by the

Political Orators Must Be Brief For Radio

simple twisting of dial, quickly,
easily. effectively.
Because radio makes it possible
to widen the audience of any given
speaker to include the whole coun-
try, large radio audiences, Popenoe
believes, will be sought after even
more eagerly than large public
gatherings.
Radio popularization of a few ef-
fective speakers, together with the
occasional nationwide broadcasting
of addresses by the presidential cam
didates themselves, rather than the
indiscriminate haranguing of hit and
miss spellbinders who confuse in
stead of clarity the issues, is pro-
posed as the most promising pro-
gram for selling" the Respective
candidates. "by air."
With some 100000 radio sets
now in American homes, every voter
who cares to hear the causes of the
candidates as presented by them
selves or their party's leading spokes-
men, can do so. If he hasn't set
in his own home, some of his neigh
bors will have.
Delegates from inland towns and

Attendants at the aquarium esti-
mated that the daily number of WISH
