BY CORINNE FRAZIER.

Mrs. John II. Sherman, president of
the General Federation Of Women g
Clubs. has been invited to address the
first graduating class of the Univer-
sity of Maryland short course In home
economics for rural women, Sc
members of which will receive GER
tificates next Friday morning from
DIR. Woods. president OF the univer-
sity. The subject of Mrs Sherman's S
address, should she be able to accept
the invitation. will be THE American
Home" II she finds 1t impossible to
accept, her message will be read to
this group of pioneer rural home
economists" which bears the unique
distinction of being the first group of
women to receive diplomas of this
type in the country, apd perhaps in
the world. They have attended this
course each June for the past four
previous college training. Thirty-two
of them are mothers of large families,
and II Of them are grandmothers.
So completely in harmony with the
American home program of the Gen
eral Federation is the development of
this course at the University of Mary
land under the direction of Miss Venia
NJ Kellar, State home demonstration
agent and chairman Of the American
home department of the Maryland
State Federation that Mrs. Sherman
predicts the women's clubs all over
the country will be following with in

Intelligence Tests
May Be Dangerous

There is too much of a tendency
to reduce human intelligence, human
behavior and human beings in gen.
eral to mathematical quotients." de-
clared DIR. H. w. Potter, who address
ed the meeting of the American Psy-
chiatric Association in New York.
DIR. Potter deplored the tendency to
brand troublesome individuals as
mentally deficient merely because
they grade low on formally admins
tered mental tests.
"Such diagnosis may easily result
in gross injustice and real harm," he
said.
Apparent mental deficiency or back
wardness may be due to many causes
other than lack Of intelligence, he
pointed out.
"It Is not uncommon to find q child
more or less retarded in school who
is reacting with some anti-social be-
havior because of emotional or tenn
peramental instability, certain home
situations that seem to perplex and
worry him, troubles between his par
ents or illness. He may have q gland
ular disorder which could seriously
affect his mental condition. Mental
retardation may come as an after
math to sleeping sickness.
"It is absolutely necessary to probe
into all of these factors before the
diagnosis of mental defect can he
made with certainty. Once such diff
culties are cleared up the backward
child may be found to be endowed
with normal intelligence; indeed, Dos.

Mrs. Sherman said in an interview
Yesterday that she felt the successful
development Of this course in Mary
land would probably have far-reach-
ing effect. She expressed her delight
in the unusual interest displayed by
the rural women Of this vicinity In
the course. Referring to the interest
in the General Federation in the work.
Mrs Sherman declared:
lone of our chief projects today re.
lates almost entirely to the home. its
development and wellbeing. We are
endeavoring to discover or to establish
a standard Of American home life that
shall prove a beacon light to all the
world, and we want the rural women

Of their experience. to join with us in
this great piece Of work. No better
way could be found for amalgamating
our interests than through such a
course as this"
Mrs. Sherman arrived in Washing

ference on motion pictures in New

few days, and then leave for her home.

Suns Age Now Set at 10 Billion Years,
Its Temperature 20 Million Degrees

the idea of a star picking up its
energy as it goes along seems to be
definitely ruled out. 1t follows that
the star contains hidden within II
the energy which has to last the rest
Of its life. But energy cannot be sue
cessfully hidden: it betrays itself be-
cause it has Tor because it isl mass
How much of the sum total Of the
energy Of the sun Is capable OF being
converted into radiation we do not
know: but if 1t is all available there Is
enough TO maintain the suns radia
ton at the present rate for 15,000,-
900 900 600 years. To put the argu
ment in another form, the heat
emitted by the sun each year has a
mass of 10000 600, 100000 tons: and
If this loss of mass continued there
would be no mass left at the end OF
Is. 900, 900, 600 600 years"
Gives New Theory.
Since all the other alternatives
are eliminated, Prof Eddington sup
poses that the source Of the energy
must be in the protons and electrons,
charges of positive and negative cleo
tricity, of which the atoms are COM
posed.
1--WE have to suppose" he says.
that a proton and electron run to-
gether, their electric charges cancel
and nothing is left but a splash in the
ether, which spreads out as an electro
magnetic wave carrying off the
energy"
He admits the difficulty of some of
these ideas, for apparently at a tenn
perature of 70,OO0,0OO degrees the
energy is liberated so copiously that
he asks, Can we suppose that energy
issues freely from matter at 10000, 900
degrees as steam issues from water
at 212 degrees? ] think that physi-
cists would be hard put to it to recon
cile such extraordinary behavior with
any accepted principles. yet that is
what the astronomical observations
taken at face value seems to insist"
In reply to this suggestion, Prof. ]
H. Jeans. president Of the Royal
Astronomical Society. denies that this
can happen, for, he says, the trans.
formation of matter to energy itself
is process which liberates more
heat, and, las soon as the center of
a star reached 100000 degrees the
heat generated would raise the neigh.
boring parts to 100000 degrees
these would generate more heat, and
so on. the high temperature spread
ing explosively throughout the star
The true analogy would be, not the
issue of steam from water, but the
explosion of a magazine of gun
powder"

The interior Of the sun must nave
q temperature OF 70,000.000 degrees
Fahrenheit at the center, which grad
ually decreases until 1t is only about
l0. 900 degrees at the surface. That
this is necessary to keep the sun at
the size 1t Is at present and to pre-
vent the gravitating mass of the
outer part from collapsing to the CEN
ter is the opinion Of Prof. A. s. Ed
dington. professor Of astronomy at
Cambridge University. stated in a
series Of lectures at Kings College of
the University of London
AS a result of this conclusion, Prof.
Eddington says no source of ener-
gy is of any avail unless it liberates
heat in the deep interior of star.
This, he believes. effectually disposes
Of an idea, suggested in the past. that
the sun received it's energy from me-
teors which fell into it from outer
space. Clearly" he states. you
cannot maintain d temperature gra-
dent by supplying heat at the bot
tom end. If this year the sun en-
countered a swarm of meteors which
bombarded it with enough energy to
furnish a years supply of radiation.
that would not add a year or even
day to the life Of the sun; its inter
nal readjustments would go on un-
affected. All that would happen
would be that the sun would give us
twice the normal amount OF radia-
ton this year"
Contracting Idea Secuted.
The theory once proposed that the
sun is gradually contracting, and so
releases the energy which forms the
heat, is also untenable, says the as
tronomer, because with such theory
the sun cannot be more than 46,OOO.-
600 years old. Physical and ge-
ological evidence seems to be conclu-
sive," he says, that the age of the
earth-reckoned from a period which
by no means goes back to its begin
nings as a planets much greater.
The age Of the older rocks found
from their uraniumload ratio is
generally put at 1900. 100000 years.
Lower estimates have been urged by
Prof. Jolly, but none low enough to
save the contraction hypothesis"
Astronomical facts also support
these ideas of the age OF the solar
system. and so, says Prof Eddington,
I'VE seem to require a time-scale
which will allow at least 10 1000 ,0OO. 600
wears for the age of the sun; certainly
We cannot abate our demands below

The mental analysis Of Mussolini was

on hysteria-
Mussolini is not acting by reason

he said. This type of will was defined
as a blind sort of will that is not pre-
vailed upon by persuasion or logical
arguments.
This hypobulic will exists in well
