LONDON, June 5 (#).—Prince Chi- chibu, younger son of the Emperor of Japan, not alone is a good tennis player. an admirer of horseflesh and a good all-around sportsman, but also is an_enthusiastic lover of music. He is to be seen nearly every'night at the opera in Covent Garden. The prince, however, is not alone among his countrymen in his liking for music, for the members of the Japanese colony in London seem to be especially fond of Wagner and is well represented at every performance of his operas. Four-Year-0ld Work-ers. Poverty, labor shortage, higher wage demands by adults and the large in- flux of school graduates into industry are blamed for the increased employ ment of children on German farms. The National German Society for the Protection of Children finds that the average age at which these children begin to work is 10 years, but some begin work at the age of 4 or 5. The hours of work vary from 2 to 5 hours in Winter and from 2 to 12 the rest of the vear. In many cases working conditions are bad and the work is unsuited to the strength of children. Scientist Finds Universe Running Down As Matter Breaks Into Chaos of Energy Special Dispatch to The Star. PASADENA, Calif., June 5—The universe Is funning down. Presented as a purely scientific conclusion, such is the statement of Dr. Richard C. Tolman, noted physical chemist of the California Institute of Technology. ifi an address to the Sigma X1 Scientific Society here. Dr, Tolman admits this conclusion probably is untenable for a philosopher, who _would want to know “who wound the universe up,” or, if nobody wound it up, how couid it have been running down for an in- finite period of .past time and still operate?

Geiss, pro- | ever to deny the apparent fact that so-called “novae.” or new stars, which burst suddenly into view with a bril- liance born of terrific temperatures and enormous radiation, may have been set off by a cosmic fuse of some sort. Obviously the control of such forces on earth by man would in- volve fearful responsibilities. It is not necessary, in the degrada- tion of matter into scattered energy, that large atoms should always break down into small ones. It is known that hydrogen atoms—the smallest atoms known—of their own free will combine in quartets to form helium atoms, but release in the process nearly 1 per cent of their substance. The offshoot is transferred into an enormous quantity of energy. Recent calculations show that new cosmic rays, investigated last Summer by Millikan, may well have come from Church, | o Blanch ; es | fessor of agriculture; J. A.

To be sure, only a few species of matter are being actively destroyed in this man- ner on earth, but the tremendous radi- ations of the sun and stars are ex- | 1ble on no other basi Tolman points out h may prove the atoms of ter- matter to be amenable to some setting-off process _roughly analogous t othe touching of a match hat future | the hydrogen-helium _transformation in some distant nebula or star. At least it is known that they do not come from the earth or necessarily from the sun. ‘ The transmutation of hydrogen into helium is very slow in most parts of the universe, so that the accumulated supply of the valuable product is small. The control of the reaction would plainly serve as a tremendous impetus to the airship industry, but HILLTOP EXERCISES UNDER WAY TODAY Sermon at 10:30 Begins 127th Commencement; Hoo- ver Gets Degree Tuesday. Georgetown University's 127th com- mencement program opens at 10:30 o'clock this morning with mass in { Dahlgren Chapel, when the Rev. Ed- ward J. Sweeney, S. J., class of 1916, Brooklyn, N.

The school is busy with plans for the completion of the year and the graduation of the senior class. Every girl in the school plans to wear a simple, inexpensive dress, the product of her own hands. These dresses will emphasize good taste, utility and workmanship. The pupils in the graduating classes are designing and making their dresses for class night and commencement. The class will be arranged to repre- sent the colors of the rainbow, “God’s Promise,” on class night. A row of colored frocks in soft shades of voile will blend in artistic beauty. These dresses are to be inexpensive as to material, but the designing, embroid- ering and making will show the skill and workmanship of each girl. Each girl is intent to make her dress the most attractive. g The graduating dresses are of white silk pongee. They will be simply made, well tailored and trim.
