LONDoS-There Is a considers-
bic body q opinion among Ameri-

which holds that the English will
never start winning the war unless
Mr.. Chamberlain and his col
leagues are gotten rid Of.
The problem Is further compli-
Gated by the fact that there seems
to be no one available To replace
them.
When England entered the last
war, they were. at the outset, led
by Asquith. another uninspiring

whose general Incompetence was
presently exposed and he was
kicked upstairs to make way for

Mistreatment Of q dog, left locked
in a car and unfed for two days,
was reported yesterday to police by

making futile efforts to escape.

car still there, and a section Of the

was broken by the dog. An attempt
to feed the animal, Mrs. Shugart

Astronomer Gives Sun
10 Billion Years Of Life

Any one worried about how long
the sun will warm the earth can
dispel any fears it will cool off soon
according to Prof. George GamoW
of George Washington University
In an address before the National
Capital Amateur Astronomers As
sociation in the National Museum
Prof Gamow said the sun would
develop more intense heat before
it cools off
Describing the suns development,
Prof. Gamow estimated that in the
some two billions of years of its
existence, it has used up l per
cent of its original 36 per cent of
hydrogen. AS hydrogen is used the
sun becomes hotter. and it probably
will become too hot for persons to
live on this earth in about Is or 30
billion years, it was estimated. The
sun. however. he said. has about
10 billion years to 60 before all
its hydrogen is used.
Stephen Macy, president of the
association. was named chairman
for a national convention of anna
teur astronomers to be held here in
July next year.
