HONEYMOON ERS Singer Bing Crosby gives his actress wife, Kathy Grant, a kiss at Palm Springs, Calif., where they are honeymooning. They were married in St. Anne's Catholic Church in Las Vegas, Nev., Oct. 24, Crosby has a ranch at Palm Springs. Old Folks Said With Words Than Young By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor JNew lorK (in bcience is not yet able to make precise com parisons of old minds with young minds but the newest effort to do so shows that old minds are more at ease with words and numbers than young ones. But one of the first losses ag ing imposes on minds is in the memory department. Also old minds don't work as quickly, don't reason as well, and have trobule relating events to time that young minds don't have, according to this quite compre hensive study of old minds. They were the minds of 50 re tired college teachers and pro fessional people who were 70 to 88 years old. They were equally divided as to sex. All were uni versity graduates and at any stage of their lives all would have been classified as mentally superior. Scientists Prepare Study Scientists Charles R. Strother, K. Warner Schale, and Paul Horst of the University of Wash ington rounded them up for a series of complex psychological tests that were designed to show how their minds worked and how well. By dividing the 50 into five groups of 10, with five men and five women in e ach group, they were evenly spread out accord ing to age. The mean age of Group 1 was 71 and of Group 5, 84. The mean ages of the groups between was 73, 75 and 79. From previous studies of the minds of young adults who eith er were university students or university graduates, the scien tists had statistical "norms" for young minds with which to com pare their measurements of old minds. In comprehending the mean ings of words the old minds were statistically superior to the young ones up to and through the 79 years mean-age group. The 80 years-plus group were inferior to the ypung minds. This held true also in comprehending and using numbers. But in reasoning, in mental agility and in relating to time, even the youngest of the old minds 71 years, mean age, were not up to the young ones (17 years up to 26 years.) Ease With Words A curious matter appeared in the comparative statistics on the ease of using words. The 71- Laurine's Floor Covering Says: DO YOU KNOW? 'it Hollywood is NOT a California eity! For Proof Read Next Week's Advertisement Last Week's Answer Queen Elizabeth of England Was Not a Queen! She was a king. "King" means "Head of the State," "Ruler," "Chief" or "Principle" and does not necessarily imply the male sex. Queen Elizabeth was the sovereign power, a "king." "Queen is the title of only the consort of the king. Laurine's Carpet House 520 S. Riverside No Money Down Payments Low as 6.00 Month Quicker year-old group showed less ease than the young minds, but the -year-oia group snowed more ease. This greater ease was even greater in the 75-year-old group, but thereafter it declined to a little less than that of young minds. The scientists had made a pre vious report but it was "pre liminary." This was their final report, to a technical organ of the American Psychological as sociation. They acknowledged a primary weakness of their study. This is that the minds studied in youth and in age were not the same minds. The ideal way to study minds would be to take a large number of minds when they are young and study them periodic ally over the many years of their aging. Crosby, Bride Go Back To Film Jobs Hollywood (IH Bing Crosby and his bride, actress Kathy Grant, reported back to work today after a brief honeymoon at the crooner's plush Silver Spur ranch at Palm Springs. Crosby said he had to tape a radio show while the 23-year-old actress was due to start a new picture with Van Heflin at Columbia Studio. The 53-year-old crooner and the Texas beauty were married Thursday in a surprise ceremony at Las Vegas. They flew from Las Vegas to Palm Springs the same day for the honeymoon.
