money and not getting proper gas
mileage due to over-rich mixtures
will be pleased to learn of a
Wisconsin inventor who has de
veloped a very clever unit that
saves gasoline by adding small
jets of air to automatically
lean and "Vacu-mat" improperly
adjusted carburetor mixtures.

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-

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.

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.
