NEW YORK, April 27-The secret
OF long life that 400 years ago eluded
Ponce de Leon today lies in every
mans grasp, say authorities.
Five thousand centenarianS now 1iv-
ing in America could point out his
mistake to Ponce de Leon, who died
a broken old man because he would
accept no substitutes for the fancied
fountain of youth. Better habits of
life, they testify, and modern science.
To say nothing of the stimulus OF
radio, provide an ample substitute Tor
the revivifying waters.
The lengthening of the average
life span, to which the fonr centuries
since Ponce de Leon have added 81
years, and the increase in the num-
Der of those who escape death up to
the age of 100, indicate, say longevity
