 To any ordinary person or per sons that would seem to be diffi- cult and almost impossible to fill, but the local postmsater's office did it today in less than two hours. With only those meager details to work on, Postmaster James T. Kelley and Edgar D. Dwyer this morning located Buddy. to the mutual satisfaction of himself and p. o, Ellington of Johnson City: Tenn, who was the seeker ot Buddy.
 "Buddy" Is George Bunce
 Buddy" turned out to be George Bunce of CTS Baldwin street, who served in the same company during the World War with his Tennessee friend. He was more than glad to hear that Ellingson was still we'll, happy and thinking of him and immediately took pen, ink, and paper to reunite himself with his buddy.

graphers because, by increasing the height and distance, a wider area may be charted.
 Aid to Medicine
 In medicine, infra-red rays have proven of intestimable value. Skin diseases, ordinarily difficult to lo- cate and diagnose, have been rem dered visible through the photo. graphs of the afflicted sections.
 The commercial world, particu- larly the textile industry. has prof. ited by the use of the days: chem ists engaged in experiments upon dyestuffs have made possible @ wider selection of dyed cloths for tropical wear. Results are ob- tained by determining which cloths and dyes absorb the most suns rays.
 Besides their purely scientific applications, the infra-red rays have been put to uses more fa- miliar to the layman. For instance, in the Home of Tomorrow built by the Westinghouse people at Mansfield, O, an. infra-red ray lamp has been installed. By throw ing 8 switch, after having bathed, one may back in the gentle warmth which characterizes the dark light" emitted by it.
 In it's relation to other rays the infra-red ray lis slightly longer than that of ordinary visible light. Radio waves of the regular broad cast band are more than 8 mile long, whereas the ultra-short radio wave is half an inch in length and the cosmic ray is infinitessmally short.

 How Many "Buddies,
 Let's see now" MT Kelley asked no one in particular" just how many hundreds of men are there in Waterbury who were called Buddy during the war;"
 Also" said MT Dwyer, entering into the problem, "how many mcn' have been driving trucks in Wa terbury?"
 There was mutual sigh, then a pause.
 The postmaster broke the silence. How many soldiers had their pie lures taken in Germany in 1919?". he asked.
 Millions of Them
 "Millions," dolefully intoned M- Dwyer.
 '.It's quite a problem" said MT Kelley.
 "A mystery, almost" said MT Dwyer.
 Letter Follows
 They looked at the letter again: Dear MT Postmaster:
 am enclosing q snapshot of n veteran taken while in the army at Coblenz, Germany, in 1919, but I can't think of his name. I hoped that I might locate him as he~re- sides in that city and I used to get letters from him some years ago. He has a mother living in your city and I believe she is @ widow. Still I can't think of his name, but always called him Buddy" and I think he used to drive trucks m your city for some time. wish that the postmaster would show the inclosed picture to some of the ex-servicemen there as I am sure he is well-known there.
 Very truly yours, \

AUSTRLANS BAN
 MARXET NAMES
S0briquets of Municipal
 Lodging Houses in Vienna Changed

Vienna, (UP)-In accordance with a standing promise to Mussolini by Prince Starhemberg, leader of the Heimwehr, that he would eradicate signs of Marxism in Vienna, which were an insult to Italian Faseism, start has been made in changing the names on municipal apartment houses.
 The municipal house, Matteotti- holf. has become Giulio Giordani- holf, in honor of a Bolognese law yer, who wsa reported to have been killed in November, 1921, by Marxists. At the same time the coloring of the letters was changed from red to green.
 At the conclusion of the cere- mony of altering the lettering, green and white Heimwehr flags were draped over the bronze Mat teotti memorial plaques flanking the main entrance of the building. . This is the second of many planned re-chvistenings. The first was the changing in Indianerhof to Feyhof, in commemoration of vice-chancellor Fey's personal participation in the capture of the building.

BY ALFRED BERTHINET

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, (UP).-Photographs taken by means of film sensitized toinfra-red dark light" rays have shown that after a distance of 1Q.- 000,000 light years has been reach- ed, the universe is empty.
 "Dark light" for which theinfra- red ray is famous, generally shows a reckoning on the photographic plate when stellar dust in the form of meteors distant planets. etc, are present. In these photographs. how ever, no such reddening was re- corded. This indicates, according to Dr Harlow Shapley, of the Har- yard Observatory, that the floating star-dust and galaxes, generally considered to fill the entire uni- verse, cease to erist beyond the 10,- 000,000 light-year limit.
 Light Years
 Incidentally, light year is the distance light travels in a year moving at the rate of 186,324 miles per second. It is the yard stick of modern astronomy.
 Essentially, this is 8 signal vic- tory for astronomers and astro- physicists. AS an illustration to scientists in general of the pc yer contained in the infra-red ray. it is more important, and portends what may be expected in the fu- ture. @s
 Aerial photographs of Mount Everest made, during the recent flights by British aviators, were made possible mainly through the use of film sensitized to these rays. Landscape photos have been made in the United States, at horizont- al distance of 300 miles, and have been of much assistance to carto-

Expert Describes Three
 Ages of Children

Cincinnati - (U.P.) = A child has three ages-mental, physical and chronological, Dr T. Wingate Todd, professor of anatomy in Western Reserve University, Cleve- land, told the Cincinnati Academy of Medicine here recently.
 Dr Todd said X-rays provide data for determination of the physical age, while psychological tests are made for the mental age. Under normal conditions, the chronological age can be estimated rather certainly by examination of the bone structures. Dr Todd
 From the anatomical view point, according to the physician, children of six have an adult brain and the best nurtured children have such a brain even at four. The brain then awaits only de- velopment through education, with the child, until 10, seeking to learn things through his own ef- forts rather than through teach ing Of others, according to pr Todd.
