Rats, Men, Longevity
(New York Times)

(New York TimeS) te
 When Drs. C. M McCay L. A. Maynard and G. Sperng of Cornell told the American Institution ol Nutrition recently that by reducing the number ot calories and strictly controlling the diet they had managed to keep rats alive to the equivalent of lOf years in human being, they but substantat1ng a belief long cherished by many biologists that We age most rapidly in youth Apart from the fact that physiological and chemical action are not necessarily the in rats and and that we may not there fore conclude that humans may become centen- arians by starving ourselves in early life we wonder what century means in these experiments.
 There is more than kind of age. We suspect that the biologists who have experimented with rats brilliantly thinking of time rather than age. We may measure time by the clock and calendar; we may measure it psychicaly. Frogs eggs can he matured rapidly by warmth; or their growth can be retarded by cold. Cut out the thyroid gland of a certain Mexican salamander and it never evolves from the tadpole stage. How old the frogs eggs? How old is the man of TO who says that he feels young? Age is clearly loose term.
 Suppose brush aside these philosophical nice ties and determine to achieve century by eating just enough to keep body and soul together in the days of infancy and youth. Would the world look quite the same? Would life be worth living? There are children enough on bare subsistence level who could give the answer. price must be paid for the calorc sacrifice that had to be made by those exper- mental rats that attained striking age. Perhaps it too high
 Yet this pessimism does not mean that science should discontinue it's investigation of physiological processes in effort to find out if it can what the process of living and dying entails, physically chem caly, psychcaly. Freud once wrote that "at bottom one believes in his own death which amounts to saying that in the unconscious every one of us is convinced of his immortality" Here have the req for the experiments with rats frogs eggs Mexican saamanders To prolong life far beyond the attain able span is legitimate end. But old age must hold out something than a watery eye, eathery, wrinkled skin loss of interest in the affairs of the world We must become like the butterfly, which, according to Anatole France, presents example to by dying at the height of its beauty and it's joy in life.

TUESDAYS PRIMARY

Next Tuesday Alaskans again go to the polls the first in the nation to select their nominees for the campaign and the general election which falls on the second Tuesday in September September 13 That is the day voters of established political faith will go to the polls-Democrats and Republicans Those who cling to particular party lines, com monly known Independents probably will stay at home Their inning comes in the fall general election when the final selections made
 For the information of younger voters, it might be pointed out that Tuesdays election is purely a party primary election. In other words, the voter asks for either Democratic or Republican ballot and marks his selection the partys ticket for the candidates which he desires to have represent the party at the general election While voters hes- tate declare their party preference at the primary it is just important to select able nominees in next Tuesdays election it is to make the final selections next September and the person who has genuine interest in the affairs of government should not let party line deter him from going to the voting place on Tuesday. In the fall election that line is cast aside and the person who doesn't cast ballot in the primary may find that when the general election rolls around that the person persons he had hoped to vote for are not even on the ballot.
 Selections Tuesday center in the Territorial Legislature The only contests are for nominations for the House, and in this Judicial Division, the Demo- cratic nomination for the Senate For the Territorial OIIlceS DelegdUe DlnOnu IS uHOppOSeu DeIllO- cratic nomination for Delegate and Al White is un- opposed on the Republican ticket similar situation exists for Territorial Treasurer. The Democratic n- cumbent, Oscar Olson, has opposition nor has Will II. Chase for the Republican nomination. Thus 1t is legislative nominations which concern the party voters next Tuesday.
 Those calling for a Democratic ballot will find a contest between Senator Henry Roden and Crystal Snow Jenne both residents of Juneau for the Senate nomination. One is to be nominated For the House they will find nine candidates seeking nomination for the House four of which to be chosen to carry the banner in the campaign until September. They are: J. P Anderson, James V. Davis, John Mccormick and Henry Messerschmdt of Juneau Fred c. Hanford, Wrangell; Joseph F. Krsuse and George S Talbot of Ketchikan George H. Peterson of Douglas and Arthur P. Walker of Craig.
 On the Republican ticket there is contest for the Senate nomination, Howard D. Sabler of Juneau is unopposed but for the House nominations there are seven candidates from which four are to be chosen They are: Cash Cole Frank H. Foster Mildred R. Hermann Royal M. Shepard and Jack Wilson all of Juneau; Frank s. Barnes of Wrangell and Frank D. Price of Sitka.
 If you interested in the Territory of Alaska and want to it go forward be a Democrat a Republican next Tuesday, you fit but be end have been resident of Alaska for one year in- mediately proceeding the election you entitled to cast ballot
