Romance Possibilities

An AP story in a recent
issue of The Star. claimed
that party-going of 10 princes
and 13 princesses adds up to
a combination of 100 possible
royal matches. Since only 10
potential bridegrooms are
available, surely not more
than 10 marriages could en-
sue: but the claim that the
total of % adds up to a com
bination Of 1870 possible royal
matches" assumes unjustifi-
ably that only one marriage
will occur. Heaven forbid!
The first prince to propose
has a choice among the Is
princeSses. The next prince
has a choice among the IL
princeSses remaining. The
third prince may choose
among IL princesses, etc.,
etc. Thus, if only one marri-
age occurs, there are 1870 90
times 49, possible combina- =
tions of bride and groom. II
two marriages occur, there
are l08 (9 times 12) possible
combinations of bride and
groom for the second mar
riage, or 130 times l08 COM
binations of two brides and
grooms. If three marriages
occur, the third bride and
groom could be selected in 8
times II ways for each of
tie two-marriage combina-
tionS.
The possible number of
combinations for each num-
Der Of potential marriages
from one to ten is therefore:
for one marriage only, 1870; for
two marriages, l4.040; for
three marriages, 1,235,520;
for four marriages, 86,486,-
400; for five marriages, 4,670-
265,600; for six marriages,
l86,8l0,624.000: for seven

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

No bird was prettier in the
snow than our faithful old
cardinal, or redbird.
I'VE had a lot of snow out
here" writes Mrs. r. B. T. of
Sandy Spring. Md. "Our IL
cardinals are Just like red
flowers on a white carpet"
Pink sparrows blew in on
the storm, says Mrs. w. C. r.
of Arlinrto ton. Va.
They were, of course. as
she correctly identified them,
purple finches.
Before I forget it," says
this correspondent, II would
like to defend the poor
abused startling. He is one of
the most interesting and GER
tainly one of the cleanest of
all birds. ANY day in the
week, summer or winter, rain
or snow. no matter what, if
you provide the water, he
will take a bath and really
enjoy it.
THE mocker never leaves,
and he commands the post.
We call him Billy Boy. after
my husband. the General.
His mate is Susie (but that
isn't my name) because the
name suits her.
My yard was beautiful
with the snow for a back
drop. Our regular bird family
consists of pairs of cardinals,
blue jays, cowbirds. grackles,
a pair of doves. chickadees.

them as purple finches.
only one robin has re-
ported for duty this spring,
but a little later we will have
a host of them, together with
a pair of catbirds and saucy
thrasher or two.
There will also be hum
mingbirdS. We haven't q
large place but we do have
a large hedge or green wall
for coverage.

II personally think the
birds are like flowers and
respond to true lovers.
During the summer when
the parents are working to
feed the young. they get very
daring and will come right
under our feet on the terrace
for raisins.
I'VE often place a box of
raisins on the coffee table to
watch them tilt it over and
run half way inside it for the
loot. The robins and Knockers
are very adept at this.

the help of the Sociology
Department and College of
Health, Physical Education
and Recreation at the Uni
verSity of Maryland was
sought in submitting a prof.
ect proposal to the CO.
operative Research Program
Of the United States Office
OF Education. After carefully
reviewing the proposed prof.
ect it was approved for a
grant of $4,000 to the Uni
verSity of Maryland. These
funds were essential to sup
plement the help of school
principals, teachers anL stu
dents in the school sy&tems
throughout the area.
The procedures used in
administering the survey
were developed with the ac-
tive help and advice of rep
resentativeS of each of the
principal school systems.
They were carefully tested
and went through several re-
visions so as to conserve the
time of teachers and pupils
and yet at the same time to
produce accurate and ade-
quate information. 1t should
be kept in mind that the
methods include the use of a
"do it yourself" card punch
ing method which makes
possible tremendous cost saw
ings in the processing of the
data through electronic COM
putting machines. The cod
ing of home addresses &C
cording to the 365 census
tracts which is being done by
the teachers and students
will permit comparisons be-
tween neighborhood charac-
teristics, the presence or alb
sence of recreation programs,
and the leisure activity pat
terms of the young people.
Without the use of these
money-saving devices, a sur

Weighs VaIue of Youth Survey of Snare lime,

The central issue which
has arisen in the Youth Sur
vey Of Spare Time now being
conducted by the University
of Maryland and the Health
and Welfare Council is what
value it has for the young
people in the Washington
Metropolitan Area as well
as for communities, agencies
and organizations engaged
in meeting the leisure time
needs of young people.
There has been a great
lack of objective information
concerning what young peo-
pie do in their spare time
and what they want to do
that they are not now doing.
The major purpose of this
survey is to obtain concrete
facts in sufficient detail &C
cording to type of activity
and neighborhood so that
the data can be used for
planning, programming and
scientific research.
The need for this survey
originated in three D. c.
agencies National Capital
Park Service, Department of
Recreation and Board Of
Education). This need was
also definitely indicated by
representatives of recreation
departments in the suburbs.
Parallel to the interest of
these agencies, the Recrea-
ton Committee of the HWC
pointed up a similar need for
data about the leisure activi-
ties and interests of young
people to guide a compre-
hensive, long-range plan for
recreation and leisure pro-
grams which they were
charged with developing in
cooperation with over 35
agencies in the Metropolitan
Area.
To obtain the necessary
financial support and assist

The body gets old Alto
gether.
Old men can't be given new
glands or new brains. The
process of aging is inexorable
and, at least for now, Moth
ing can be done about It.
This is reported to the Amer
ican Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science by DR..
Geoffrey H. Bourne of EN-
ory University, Atlanta.
This has been a matter of
some speculation in the past,
he explained, with theories
that young tissue grated into
old tissue might continue
young. But, DR.. Bourne's
anatomical studies have
shown. the old seems inevi-
tably to take over.
All the organs and tissues
Of the body, he said, undergo
changes with age which can
be seen in the cells of which
they are composed. These
changes take a variety of
forms and several of these
at the same time may be
characteristic of any partic-
ular organ. They include ac-
emulation of fat in cells
which ordinarily do not have
fat. Energy centers of the
cell may break up and the
cell nuclei become small and
contracted.
How Cells Behave
"In some organs" he said,
"the cells, instead of degen-
Grating with old age, may
multiply and build up small,
tumor-like structures which
usually are harmless, but
may become cancerous. 1t
seems that as cells grow
older there is a greater pos
sibility that they may de-
velop this unusual form of
activity that leads to cancer"
The critical problem in
studying the cause of aging,
DR.. Bourne said, is to try to
find out whether the individ-
ual cells and organs have
some intrinsic aging process
of their own or whether the
cells of one tissue cause
others to age by cutting of
some important chemical
compound which they pro-
duce.
Earlier in this century"
he said. "Voronof trans
planted portions Of the testes
of young chimpanzees to the
teStes of aged humans under
the belief that the male sex
hormone which the testes
produce would be absorbed
and produce rejuvenescence.
But later studies have shown
that even injections of the
pure hormone have no gen.
eral rejuvenating effects.
Changes in other glands of
internal secretion have been
said to be the cause of old
age changes. They them
selves undergo changes with
age and none of them is the
one really responsible for the
general problem of aging.
Two organs decrease less
with old age than any other
organs. These are the heart
and central nervous system
brain and spinal cord. Pro-
vided the blood vessels which
supply the heart remain in
tact and effective the heart
continues to beat and re-
spond to extra use with little
change.
Cells degenerate and drop
out of the brain from about

Nothing Stops Body From Aqinq

the age of 40 onwards. But
there are about 20,000,000
cells in the brain so that
there must be a considerable
loss before function is seri-
ously impaired from this
cause alone. 1t is not known
why the brain cells do de-
generate and fade away.
THE general conclusion
must be that there is q fun
damental pattern of aging
in all the cells Of the body
and there is little at the
moment that we can do about
it."
Electric shocks and other
stimuli applied to infant ami
mails may result in profound
and extensive changes in
development. Some of the
techniques, when better un-
derstood, might apply to hu-
man infants.
This is the substance of o
report to the American Asso-
citation for Advancement Of
Science by DR.. Seymour Le-
vine Of Ohio State University.
In the university labora-
tories, rats and mice have
been stimulated by such
means as electric shocks and
violent shaking for several
weeks Immediately following
birth. Differences were OBJ
served in development, re-
sponse to stresses later in
life, and physiological reac-
tions due to brain LESSONS.
"Infantile stimulation" he
reported, has been found
to affect markedly the rate
OF physiological develop
ment. In general stimulated
infant rats show more rapid
development. This is OBJ
served in appearance of body
hair and opening of the
eyes, in the ability of the
animal to shoW a significant
response to stress and in the
chemistry of the central
nervous system. In all Of
these lines the stimulated
infant shows an accelerated
development by at least two
or three days.
Other Effects Noted
mot only does the infan-
tile stimulation affect de-
velopment, but it produces
an organism that is strik-
ingly different in its responses
to later changes in environ
ment. Stimulated animals,
for example, show a signifi-
cantly greater physiological
response to later noxious
stimuli than nonstimulated
animals when measured by
hormone production follow
ing electric shock. However,
non-stimulated animals show
a physiological stress re-
sponse to milder forms Of en-
vironmental changes than
stimulated ones.
in addition, stimulated
rats survive a transplantable
leukemia longer than do nom
stimulated rats, show lower
seizure thresholds for electro
convulsive shocks and reveal
significant differences. both
bahaviorally and psysiologi-
cally, following placement of
a lesion in the forebrain.
"All the data indicate that
infantile stimulation is a
potent biological variable and
affects a wide spectrum Of
physiological events"
