a young rat was joined to an
old one.
Whenever a set of these twins
died they were dissected. The
amount of elasticity in the
tendons of their tails was one
measure OF how quickly they
aged. Tendons lose elasticity
with age. Bone density was
another indicator. Bones be-
come less dense as they age.
In some instances, Miss Luns-
ford said, a middle-aged rat
400 days old would live almost
as long as the young animal to

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. g.
An experiment on rats has
yielded hope that overweight
people can prolong their life
expectancy by as much as 20
per cent.
The secret: Eat half as much.
Another experiment, also on
rats, has shown that the young
have some mysterious and po-
tent quality that can be trans
fused into older animals to
slow the aging process.
The two projects were re-
ported in papers yesterday be-
fore the Fifth International
Congress of CHRONOLOGY. Ger

Females on an unrestricted

In the other experiment, rats
