AGEESSUNWERSE THEDRYADVANEED New. Mathematics Indicate Possible Fallacy of “Heat Death” Idea. BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE, Associated Press Selence Bditor. NEW HAVEN, Conn., November 20— New mathematics indicating that the universe may go on living forever was presented to the Natiopal Academy of Sclences at Yale University Tuesday. ‘The scientific idea for years has been | that ipevitably creation is bound some | day tq freeze up, & form of universal | death, ‘not only for earthly life but for all forms of energy. The new mathematics was explained by Dr. Richard Chace Tolman of Cali- fornia Institute of Technology. He ranks as one of the best known mathe- maticians in the world, and is one of the with whom Einstein conferred on visit to the United States a year g0, ‘The old “heat death” theory is based on the undeniable facts that matter is rapidly being converted into heat, light and other forms of radiation, and the thermodynamic laws, which seem to prevent a reversal of this running down hill process. “Models” of Creation. Dr. Tolman has created some mathe- matical “models” of creation in which this seemingly |mgufiflble reversal takes lace. He sald these models are part- ly_analogous to actual facts, each one differing from present known realities in some significant respect. 8o very little is known about the universe outside the immediate neigh- ‘borhood of the earth, that these mathe- matical models are not necessarily im- , light and ge:t—‘; start verting themselves back inf solid m?.er tb'o universe which now is running down can some day again re- new its youth. In one model Dr. Tol- man finds this mathematically possible led matter changes into radiation last enmll:h:gl nllltlblzll certain nec- essary equilibrium or balance. Other models which show possibili- ties of rebuilding an universe are produced by :pplyl;a‘f he principles of relativity to thermodynamics. Under the new thermodynamic prin- ciples thus created, the old law of con- servation of energy, which seems to re- quire that the universe shall ultimately freeze up, works differently. Plctured Future Conditions. ‘The result, said Dr. Tolman, is a picture of future conditions ‘“which could lead to less terrifying results than in_classical thermodynamics.” Three meals a day is not sufficient for the young men who attend Yale— five is nearer their requirement. Thus Dr. Yandell Henderson of Yale com- he explained, need meals about every two hours, and it may well be that the habit of restricting youth to three regu- lar meals begins too young. . George O. Squier of Washington said that ipment to carry radio programs over c light wires to es is ready for practical use after 10 years of research. ‘The known history of mammalian animals on the Paeific Coast is pushed back 20,000,000 years by bones foi in Ventura County, Calif. Studies of these bones were reported by Dr. Ches- ter Stock of the California Institute of Technology. Ventura County now in- cludes mountains, but 20,000,000 years was & low plain, tropical, the home titanotheres, little land rhinoceri and big river rhinocerl and oreodonts, hog- like creatures. e COL. JONES TO SPEAK Col. Claude D. Jones, superintendent ©f the National Training School for the Community Center Department. ‘The talk is one of a series to be given each Friday night on matters of community interest. Nine MAJ.

Since then he has inten- sively studied Mexico. He has inspected the ruins and history of its ancient civ ilisations—those of the Astecs, the Tol- tecs and the Mayas—and he used these as & background for vivid and colorful Mexico of today. Maj. Sawders will tell of the great natural resources of the country, in contrast to the poverty of some of its people, and the early universities estab- lished there, even before Harvard and Georgetown were founded. The lecture will be {llustrated with color slides and motion pictures. ARMY RAISES STANDARD FOR ENLISTED PERSONNEL Re-enlistments to Be Rejected for Men With Characters Less Than “Very Geod.” ‘The U. S. Army has taken sdvantage of the unemployment sityation to raise the standard of its reeruits, Asserting that the War Depertment is following the example set by indus- try, which at present is selecting the | & most desirable men avatlable among the unemployed, an announcement frem the department stated that no man discharged from his first enlistment with a character less than “very good” will be re-enlisted. It was also gaid that applicants for original enlistments must have an in- | 2 telligence test rating corresponding to co:mlleuon of the eighth grade in school. 2 GIVEN RECEPTION Columbia Heights Honors Dr. Hig- bie and Mrs. Peeples.
