MORE DYING OF

OLD AGE

Soon Chief Cause Of Death

SAYS GLASGOW

EX-PROFESSOR

So many diseases have now been conquered that soon the chief cause of death will be old age, ac- cording to Sir Robert Muir, form- erly Professor of Pathology at Glas- gow University for 37 years.

All infective diseases are in hand now, he said when he arrived at Sydney on the liner prontes.

"Typhus, typhoid, malaria, and smallpox are not the terrors they once were. The numbers of peo- ple who die of old age are creasing. Cancer still is a big pro- blem, but it is not correct to say that cares cannot be effected. I know many who have been cured.

"In Glasgow, where rickets in past years has been rife, the situa- tion is improving owing to slum clearance work."

• Commenting on the healthiness of Australians, he attributes it to sound British stock and their open-air life. *

work to fetch whatever it could, was hopeful that the ex- perts would favour it, but he could not be quite sure that it was by the master. However, the experts. agreed that it was a very early essay, probably painted at Leyden in 1628, when Rembrandt would be 26.

The subject which appears to be the only musical gathering that Rembrandt ever painted is also a family group. The figure of the young Rembrandt can be identi- filed in the middle distance playing the harp. His father is playing the celle, and his mother is listening on the right.

Seven years ago the wife of an Admiral. who had inherited old picture of a bearded warrior, sent her picture to Christie's, hop- Ing for 500 guineas at the most. but the company acclaimed the work as by Rembrandt, and it proceeded to realise 15,800 guineas.
