Sitting in a classroom with

former resident of Greece has
behind him a short lie filled with
chaos and escape from the

Born and raised in the little

Then one night through the

There his cousins ship lay ready

Stealing silently out of the
lonely harbor with the g%uerrillas
waving farewell and a safe
voyage, the escapee started on
the first leg of his journey to
America.
Reaching Cyphus a f days

wrote to his worried people in

Faded Red Suns Are
Found by Sky Gazers
44,076 Are Classified After a It,
Year Study.

EVANSTON, ILL.-Concluding a
16-year study, Northwestern univer-
sity astronomers reported that they
have classified 44,076 faint red
stars, or faded suns, which have
radiated away tremendous quanti-
ties of energy and thus have lost
luminosity.
DR.. Oliver j. Lee, director of
Northwestern ~university's Dear
born observatory, said the survey
was the most complete ever made
of the faint red stars. DR.. Lee and
his associates covered 81 per cent
of the northern heavens, from As
degrees below the equator to the
north pole.
The astronomers used a powerful
prismatic camera of 101a-inch aper-
ture, mounted on the 1812-inch
Dearborn telescope. They made two
hour exposures on panchromatic, IT
red sensitive plates, photographing
BIT separate areas of the heavens.
Another series of BIT plates was
made after removal of the prism.
These were used to measure the
brightness of the stars.
Of the 44,076 faint red stars clas-
sified by the astronomers, 1894 be-
long in what are called the adj
vanced titanium oxide classes. Of
these, 1854 have apparent magni-
tudes brighter than 10, and only
1,210 are of magnitude 10 or fainter.
Sixth magnitude stars are the
faintest which may be seen with the
naked eye. and tenth magnitude bod
les are 40 times fainter than those
of the sixth magnitude.
"On the basis of our material"
DR.. Lee said, 1--WE conclude either
that the titanium oxide molecule is
especially abundant in our part of
the Milky Way, or that mar has ap-
peared on the cosmic scene in an
area when many stars in his vicin-
ity are going through their titanium
oxide stage"

New Car Buyer Acts the Same
When He's Away From Home

FRANKFURT, GERMANY. -
Luxury-hungry Americans who pay
fabulous prices for private automo-
biles in Germany were made a tar
get of CT. criticism for having lost
"all sense of value"
The army newspaper, Occupation
Chronicle, said as much as 300 per
cent above original purchase prices
was being offered for anything
with four wheels" by soldiers and
war department civilians.
Citing examples, the newspaper
said a late-model American car,
selling for about 81, 500 in the
United States, was auctioned to an
eager buyer for $4,000. Prices as
high as $4,000 are offered for second
and third hand jeeps.
Owners who paid perhaps $500 for
a jeep a year ago and nov are
going home, "sit by watching as
prospective buyers fall over them
selves boosting offers to infiationary
heights" the paper added.

Mentally Deficient Folks
Reported Helped by Drug

ST. PAUL, ~MINN.-Marked i'm
provement in mentally deficient
persons through use of a new drug
Climatic acid-was reported by a
psychiatric expert, DR.. George A.
Jervis, director of laboratories at
Letchworth Village, a New York
state mental institution.
The new drug, Jervis said, had
resulted in permanent improve
ments ranging from 8 to Is points
on the 10 scale of mental deficients.
This has been done, he said, with a
limited number of persons in sew
eral New York hospitals.
Results already obtained are
sufficiently striking to permit some
consideration of the underlying
mechanism" Jervis said. 1T is
most likely that Climatic acid
serves to increase the rate of a bio
chemical process which is already
going on with considerable eff
cheney.
eve feel that the administration
of this acid does not create new in
tellectual tools, but enables the err
son to utilize his potential mental
capacity more effectively"
Jervis warned, however, that the
process had not yet been developed
to its fullest extent and was not
ready for universal use.
