The men were in fair condition
despite their long layoff and it Will
probably take but a few DAYS for
them to round into tip top shape
again. Coach Harper is anxious TO
get the Hoosier quintet going at top
speed early in the season. Several
hard games are booked for the Notre

eager to have the men in form when
the strong fives are met.
For the first time this winter,

Coach Rockne's prOteges were out
and were put through the prelimi-

carefully nursed, the turns have
been nicely banked and at present
conditions on the indoor course are
good. In case the track hardens,
however, Rockne will give his men
football shoes and send them on
crOss-country joys two or three days
out of every week, rather than risk
having the athletes come down with
shin splints." Outdoor training is
strongly favored by the Notre Dame
track coach. He will also give the

HE GAVE FAME TO BABYLON
Enduring Memory of Ancient Capital Due to Nebuchadnezzar, His
 torians Say.

Nebuchadnezzar is always associ- ated in our minds with the splendor of his great city, Babylon. Is not this great Babylon which I have built?" And, indeed, he deserves such an asBo- ciation; and if ever a man had cause for pride as he surveyed the works of his hands, Nebuchadnezzar was that man as he looked abroad on Babylon, James Bikie writes in Geographic Magazine. Great she had always been, reyerenced as the mother city, and the source of learning and law even by her Assyrian conquerors in the day of her humiliation. But Nebuchadnezzar and his father had found her as the Assyri- ans had left -powerless, humili- ated and sunk .-
 He raised her within generation to far more than her ancient splendor- to a magnificence, indeed, which beg gared description; so that even Rome, wonderful as it's spell has been, has never been able to oust Babylon from the mind and imagination of the hu- man race as the typical world city, the emblem of all that is magnificent and luxurious and central. Ancient histori- ann can find no words to describe the

improving Quality of Iron.

The variable impurities of the best Iron and iron-carbon alloys available have made unsatisfactory certain work of che United States bureau of stand ards The working investigators, therefore, have sought to produce ma terials of great purity and for this have adopted the plan of melting cleo trolytic iron with sugar carbon in magnesia crucibles. The electrolytic iron was prepared from ingot iron anodes in chloride bath. Blowholes and impurities in the ingot iron gave trouble in the beginning, but the diff ficulty was overcome by melting in a vacuum furnace in specially made crucibles of very pure magnesia. Iron and series of iron-carbon alloys were eventually produced, in which the i'm purities did not exceed four-hun dredths of one per cent.

EVIL AMONG THE PRISONERS
With Better AspIrations-New Era Editorial.

The habitual offenders released from prison, who continually persist in their criminal pursuits, are the men who bring disrepute on men now in and out of prison who strive to follow the straight path, says writer in the New Era, federal penitentiary, Leaven- worth. Though these criminals are reaping the harvest of their misdeeds and their sins are steadily finding them out yet they cast reflection on us that is barrier to even better condi- tions within our walls. They are the men who shatter our hopes of speedy release by piling up statistics of dam aging record against us. They are the men who are responsible for the con servative policy and cautious decision when our own lives are in the balance of consideration for more privileges more paroles-liberty and freedom. They are the men who wreck our homes and tear down the structures of hope that we have spent years in build ing. They are the builders of more prisons architects of abuse instru- mentalists of barbarism in our penal institutions.
 Therefore we should, witk firm rs-

IS SEVEN MYSTIC NUMBER?
Hero Are Some Facts Which Might Support the Theory That 1t
 Has Some Power.

The Germans say that All good things are three; but seven is also remarkable, one might almost say mystical, number.
 The little girl in Wordsworth's we'll known poem said: We are seven. The days of the week are seven. The colors of the rainbow are seven. The notes of the musical scale are seven (the eighth one being the same as the frst). There were said to be seven sages of Greece, and seven kings or Rome, and the city of Rome was built on seven hills. London city has seven hills also; Cornhill, Snow hill, Lud- gate hill, Fish Street hill, Bread Street hill, Holborn hill and Tower hill.
 The world was made in seven days. There were seven famous cities of an- tiquity: Rome, Antioch, Nineyeh, BaDy- lon, Athens, Tyre and Carthage
 There are seven wonders of the world, that is of the ancient world, and these were: The Colossus of Rhodes Ia huge statue striding across the en- trance to the harbor of Rhodes), the Pyramids, the Ephesian temple or Dl- ana, tho mausoleum tor tomb of king Mausolus. tho remains of which are

grandeur of the palaces, the temples, the hanging gardens of the great city by the Euphrates.
 Great soldier as Nebuchadnezzar was, he was really by nature and in stinct a man of peace, not of the merci- less and urprofitable Assyrian type at all. He was in truth son of Baby lon, not of Assyria; man of peace. not of war; devotee of religion and culture, not of organization and admin istration," so says Goodspeed
 The same high authority remarks that the picture of him in the Book of Daniel is in not few respects strik- ingly accurate. His inscriptions reveal loftiness of religious sentiment un- equaled in the royal literature of tho oriental world" There can be no ques- tion of the dignity and reverence of some of the prayers used or sanctioned for use by the great king.

Secret of Harmony.

Pull together. This is the real secret of harmony There is a story told of 8 man who had committed the care of one of his teams to faithful servant for years. At last one of the horses sickened and died. While the servant was burying the faithful animal, the other horse came across the field and stood by, watching the work as a silent mourner The master said: T believe Dick loved Billy" Instantly the servant replied: Tn cose he did, massa; why, they pulled together nigh 20 years.

 There are also seven wonders of his tory. These are: The Colosseum, the Catacombs, the Great Wall of China, Stonehenge, the Leaning Tower of Pi- sa, the Porcelain Tower of Nankin and the Mosque of St. Sophia at Constanti- nople.
 Here are the seven new wonders Of the world: Wireless, the telephone, the areoplane, radium, antiseptics and an- titoxins, spectrum analysis, X-rays.
