Bits of e010urod paper, folded.
pulled, crunched, and pushed in-
to more than 200 various shapes
and forms were on display et
New York City's Cooper Union
in a most unusual exhibit bear
ing the title: "Plane Geometry
and Fancy Figures:. The Art and
Technique of Paper Folding," In
this remarkable collection there
are abstract forms, architectural
construct'ions, industrial paper
forms, (boxes, racks, and even
ashtrays). But at theheart of
the exhibit is a eolourful mena-
gerie of lifelike penguins, chick-
ens, horses, insects, flowers, and
apes — all products of the an-
cient Japanese art et origami
(paper folding),
Mrs. Harry C. Oppenheimer,
pert and chipper president of
the Origami Seeley of America,
whose work is included b the
Cooper Union exhibit, welcomed
a Newsweek reporter to h e r
Gramercy Park apartment last
week, and set him to work mak-
ing an albatros from a square
of magenta paper as she went
on to explain how she first be-
came interested in origami.
"It all started about 30 years
ago," she said. "I had a daughter
who was very Sick and I was
able to amuse her by making
things out of paper. No, nol You
have to make this kind of fold.
Origami comes in handy at
meetings of boards of directors.
Most people doodle or fidget,
but they can also fold paper. In
South America it's taught in the
schools. In Japan, too. Houdini
was an ardent paper folder, you
know."
By this time the albatross was
finished, and she had started
her visitor on a flying crane, in
deep blue. "This will be •an. ac -
'ton toy;' she said. "Its wings
will • move. Children love them.
A month ago my husband and
I went to Japan to attend the
meeting of the International -Pa-
per Folding Friendship Society.
The president Is Akira Yoahi-
zawa. He's 36 years old and he
has been folding paper for 30
years. He sends me some of his
best things.
"You know, I've been on the
'Jack Pear Show,' and the Dave
Garroway show, and Bill Lon
ard'i. show (Tye on New York'),
and the Shari Lewis show. Do
ydd know Shari Lewis? That's
the 'Hi Mom' show. (Shari
Lewis left the show"four Months
ago.) I Finade Jack Pear fold
right along with me. When 1
;isade an eating bird (it can be
manipulated to pick up a small
piece of crushed paper held on
e open palm) Jack whispered
that he didn't want to hold his
palm out because it was sweaty,
and it would make a bad close -
Op. But I made hint do it" 1Vlrs.
ppenheimer went on, alone,
this time, to make a red but-
terfly, with twiddling antennas.
"I started the Origami Soci-
ety in this country last March,
and I have an afternoon and an
evening class. We meet at the
Japan Sooiety. There about 35
honorary members who are good
enough not to come back any
more. I'd like them to teach

How The Moth
,Attracts A Mate
One o1 nature's most baffl-
• ing phenomena has been the ex-
traordinary power ,of female
moths to attract males over
long distances. In one experi-
ment, a female emperor in a
gauze cage collected '127 males
of her species in seven hours;
male Chinese silkworm moths
have been 'known to home in
on intended mates from as far
away, as seven miles. Since a
female under a bell jar will
stir nothing in males on the
outside only inches away, bio-
logists have concluded that the
secret of her charm must be
'an odour—from a substance 'so
strong that a few :molecules
send males fluttering into the
wind, and so selective that only
males of her own species are at-
tracted.
In a massive 'experiment con-
ducted by Adolf Butenandt, 56,
who was co -winner of: the 1959
Nobel Prize in Chemistry (for
isolating tl'ie male sex hormone,
androsterone), a research team
at Munich's Max Planck • Inti-
tute for Biochemistry import-
ed 1,000,000 silkworm cocoons
from Italy and Japan, opened
them up withrazor' blade8, Tle-
'parated. the pupae of •81%000
females from the males. What
followed, in the words of one
researcher, was "a mass slaugh-
others how to fold. It's really
wonderful.' ..
She finished the butterfly and
gave it to her new pupil. Also
a green frog that hops when
poked.
"Nov you make that crane.
again, tonight, before you go to
bed, or you'll forget how to do
it," she warned. "And that
wouldn't be nice at all"
ter, and not for the 'faintheart-
ed," Each tiny pupa was disem-
boweled, the scent glands care-
fully cut out. Male moths serv-
ed as lab assistants: . when they
were placed near fractions into
which the gland material ;had
been divided, their fluttering
wings told the scientists which
parts contained the magic' sub-
stance.
Finally isolated, it turned out
to be a yellowish, 'fatty sub-
stance with a subtle, riot Un-
pleasant odour, of leather. Study
of its chemical structure reveal-
ed. a relatively simple forinula:
C18H300 technically an al-
cohol. The million cocoons had-
yielded
adyielded only a barely visible
1.8 mg.
Most moths are not pests in
themselves, but their larvae are
=-e.g„• the larvae of the gypsy
moth destroy thousands of.ireeq
every year. Butenandt's -discov•
-
ery opens the way to •a new at-
tack on such pests. Insecticides
hill,off useful insects along' with
the pests. But if the seal ex-
tractant for
x-tractant'for one particular 'spie-
cies can. be. isolated 'and
thesized, its males can be it-
' tracted,
it-'tracted, .trapped, and killed
without harming useful Insects.•
"The males will coma flock= -
Ing," said a Munich researcher.
" Ptetnales, of course, : will oon-
tinueto lay their eggs, but'they
,will 'unfertilized., The main
'advantage over DDT is that Ste strains are,•likely' to
emerge. Whoever heard of .a
male animal' becoming ' immune
to sex?" — From;TIME.
An editor of a southern news-
paper was having, trouble •. find-

The Fat & The Lean
Tables of average heights and
weights for children have been
so' overpromoted that many mo-
thers spend their time jittering
needlessly about whether a
youngster, is up . to par. But
doctors have never studied data
on averages for people at the
upper end of the life span. Last
months lrr, Arthur M. Master
presented, the A.M.A. with re-
vealing data on oldsters aged
65 to 94. The tables were com-
piled at Manhattan's Mount
Sinai Hospital from information
on 2,925 men and 2,694 women
all over the U.S.
In the 65-69 bracket, the
tables showed men average 5 ft.
8 in. tall, weigh 159 lbs. Height
remains constant through ages
85-89, but by then the average
weight has dropped to 148 lbs,
In the early 90's, men average
an inch shorter and tip the
scales at a wispy 136 lbs. Wom-
en aged 65-69 average 5 It, 3 in.
tall and weigh 141 lbs.; those
in the upper 80's are an inch
shorter and weigh 120 lbs.
What does this mean for old-
sters' health? Purpose of the
tables, said Dr. Master, is to
show the tie-up between excess
weight and diabetes, gall -blad-
der trouble, and diseases of the
heart, arteries and kidneys, Al-
ready evident, he said, is that
in both sexes, after 65, blood
pressure goes up with _weight,
but has little or no relationship
to height alone. And despite the
popular belief that tall people
die younger, height has nothing
to do with Iongevity. Weight is
the villain, Dr. Master con-
cluded. "It is clear that obesity
reduces the life span, and the
outlook for thin persons is more
favorable." That average
weights are so much less in the
most aged might indicate that
these individuals have actually
lost some weight, but more sig-
nificant, Dr. Master suggested,
is the fact that the fat die
younger.
