VF) The mvsterv of 1 how large the universe Is or whether it is boundless may not bo solved soon, but Dr. Edwin Hubble gives a hint of what may lie beyond tho range of the 100-Inch tolescope. The noted astronomer estimates there i are 76,000.000 nobulao, otar systems much like tho milky way. within range of the giant ref leotor at tho Carnegie Institution's Mount Wil son .observatory. - - ,. .

In his ratlmato that the 76. 000,000 nebulae are on an average about 060.000 light years apart. Somo of the nebulae are grouped In "c'.us tersl" ' . i' "But clusters ore rare," said Dr. Hubble. "Perliaps 20 are recognized at tho present tnno and moot of tlicin have been photographed at Mount Wilson." On0 cluster of 800 nebulae, coronal ooreans, wa-3 found whllo ho was making his estimate.

Such action Is distinct from a gold devaluation of tho dollar. . There still will be as much gold 'behind United . States currency as there la today. That figuro Is more than 200,000,000 ounces and at Its legal value of 20.07 an ounce, the gold is worth moro than $4,000,000, 000. Nor would nationalization mean a largo physical movement of gold be cause most of It already is held In tho treasury. Tho big chance would bo In the title to the yellow metal. Gold reserves of tho twelve federal rcservo banks stand aO $3,660,000,000, or moro thou threo quarters of the nation's monetary stock. konie experts believe this gold should bo nationalized, that Is, Its title transferred to tho government: so that devaluation if and when It comos would profit only the gov ernment.' , . Devaluation would be reducing the amount of gold theoretically In a gold dollar. The present gold dol lar Is 23.22 grains of fine gold. On this basis, it takes 20.87 to buy one ounce of gold. , If tho gold content of the dollar i were cut In half as President Roose- ! volt has the power to cut It, the dol- j lur value oC gold would be doubled. Instead or being S20.67 an ounce It , would be $41.34. ' - In other words; the United States i supply of monetary gold, now exceed- j lng 200,000,000 oiuvces, would remain i ttie same but in dollars It would be ) worth twice- as much, or more than i SALT LAKE CITY VP) The five- year reign, of the University of Utah as football champion of the Rocky Mountain conference appears to be nearlng Its end.
