 = Worcester, Mass, Aug. 31 There IS Q spring in Florida known as &he Fountain of Eternal Youth. But worcester has an idea that Ponce de Leon went to the wrong place, rn his search, and that this medium sized Massachusetts city is doing mere about deferring old age than Ponce's magic waters ever did or Will do.
 M Tn the laboratories of the Wor- Eester Foundation for Experiment tal Biology, provided by public sub scription, two distinguished scient- fists and their colleagues are ob- taining valuable new knowledge of how human beings can grow old gracefully. which, apparently, is about as close to eternal youth as men and women will come for many generations yet.
 pr. Hudson Hoagland and pr. Gregory Pincus are the spark plugs of the Foundation. It was Dr. Pin GUS who, a few years ago, aston ashed the world by producing fath- erless rabbits. Dr.. Hoagland is equally distinguished in biological research, though his findings have Been less sensational.
 sM The two men were working in an Abandoned barn when local busi- sslessmen, workers, professional men, , | Rabbi, public-spirited women de- cided that such fellow-citizens de- served community assistance. So the F'oundaticn was incorporated as . non-profit research institu.. lion: laboratories were built and equipped and dedicated in what amounted to a civic holiday; and DTS.

Tokyo, Aug. 27-( (Delayed) )- UP) -Hiroshima was destroyed at one strike by a single atomic bomb dropped by Superfort on the morning of Aug. 6.
 There is not a single building standing intact in the city, which had a population of 3OO,O00.
 The death toll is expected to reach 0O.O0O, and people continue to die daily from burns suffered from the bombs ultraviolet rays.
 I arrived at Hiroshima at 5 a. m Aug. g to find out about my moth- CT, who lived in the outskirts oi the city.
 Wipes Out Station
 Alighting from the train, found that Hiroshima station-once one of the largest in Western Japan no longer existed. The only thing that was left was concrete plat form. . Fragments of brick walls scat- tered about testified to the severity of the destruction.
 I was dumbfounded at the de- struction before me.
 The center of the city immedi- ately South and West of the station was razed to the ground, and there was 8 sweeping view to the foot oi the mountains to the East, South and North of the city.
 In other words, what had been g city of 3O0,000 had vanished. As far as the eye could see there were skeletons of only three con. crete buildings standing in the city: chief business center. They were a seven-story former department

 1.-the vital links between the fish, efmen of the shrimping fleet and inc ultimate consumer of Louisi- ozaa's delectable lake shrimp.
 The Betty Jean carries two 1reezers equipped with recording tj1ernometers and a storage com uArtiment. Within 25 minutes the temperature of the shrimp can be Brought down to freezing, and in . short while longer it can go as 1cw as 10 degrees.
 She carries crew of IF and enough water to stay out three n1ouths-bu he owners expect Ter to dock every two weeks and load directly into refrigerated ex- rxess cars for shipment to Chicago.

 Worcester is proud of its Founda- tion for number of reasons. One is because it has demonstrated that valuable scientific research does not have to center upon some wealthy university or huge industrial plant. It can be promoted and supported by any community that possesses the imagination and initiative necessary to create is own civic facilities.

The appearance of the popular
| duo -pianists, Ethel Bartlett and Rae
Robertson. as soloists lent luster to
the midweek concert by the National
Symphony which again was at
tended by a capacity audience.
Their two numbers on the program
hardly satisfied their admirers, who
| forgot traditional training and
broke into applause after the first
movement of the Mozart Concerto
in E Flat" In spite of the warmth
of the reception no encores were
Forthcoming, the artists contenting
themselves with repeated entrances
in acknowledgement.
This experienced team are spe-
cialists in the performance of Mo-
zart's music and the gay concerto
chosen for last night gave them
proper opportunity to show it. The
piano dialogues in which the con-
certo is rife permitted the appre-
citation of the uniform quality OF
touch of the two artists and their
complete unanimity OF feeling. The
sparkling phrases were tossed back
and forth with nothing to distin-
guish which of the players pro-
duced them.
With the splendid richness Of in
vention that marks the piano por-
tions the orchestra has Importance
given it in the full score written
for it. 1t seems at times to over
balance the delicate arabesques exc
cuted by the pianists which have
an airy character The lovely an
dante. with its trace of melancholy,

has also an uplifted character which
the artists realized in their. careful
treatment.
The incisive rhythms Of Mary
Howe's "Castellana" called forth the
most brilliant playing from the two
pianists. Excellently designed tc
divide honors between the two in
struments, its orchestral accom-
paniment is vividly colored with
Spanish atmosphere and effects
The folk numbers Mrs. Howe has
used as basis of the work form a
compendium of the characteristics
of Spanish life and their joining
together creates interesting changes
of mood The exciting measures
given to the pianists stand out
brightly from the luxuriant back
ground the orchestra provides. The
brillance and charm of the work
and the abandon and intuitive feel
ing Miss Bartlett and Mr.. Robertson
brought to their presentation Of il
resulted in demonstration from
the audience.
The orchestra featured the per-
formance of G. P. E. Bach's Sym
phony No. in C Major" which
discloses an entirely different music
than that usually associated with
the name of Bach. It's elegance ano
charm are of graceful character
that appeals without calling fol
deeper response. The sorority o1
sound and nobility of sentiment o1
the works Of the composers fathe,
are absent, being replaced by ar
ingratiating style and untroublec
emotion.
The amplitude of the orchestral
tone and its skill in pictorial ef-
fects found expression in the stately
