~ CHEMISTS are not yet ready to say
whether or not the human skeletons
~ unearth in the southwest district of
Los Angeles by a construction gang repre-
sent an early age of man heretofore undis-
covered this continent.
But assembling Of the fragments OF bone
is in progress and chemical analysis of the
skeletal remains are being made in order to
determine how completely organic matter
has been eliminated. This will give evil
dence as to whether the bones date from the
Ice Age more recent.
Fear of the coroner threatened at the
time of the discovery to put end to the
scientific evidence. gang of 1abOrers eX-
cayating for a sewer uncovered the first
signs Of human remains and they immedi-
ately began to destroy the bones for fear
that legal interference would be invoked by

The Man Who Wants Nothing
By DR.. Frank Crane

WYE are all in the struggle to get some
wv thing. Did you ever think Of the ire
mendous force a man acquires from
having nothing? That is, Of course, If he
wants nothing
Mr. Morgan or Mr.. Rockefeller, with the
massed power of heaped up money behind
him, is to our mind about the hugest cata-
pult of human efficiency conceivable here in
America What can such man not do! He
might make presidents, control markets, en-
courage the arts, build churches and schools
anything.
To the European mind the king represents
the most irresistible human energy Behind
him is a power of birth, the past, the law,
and the army.
But do either of these types after all equal
the dynamic in John the Baptist type of
man, who has nothing but a girdle of camel's
hair for raiment and locusts and wild honey
for food?
Did not much of the vast influence which
Jesus has eXerted come from the fact that
He never had money or place, and did not
care for them? Thus the unhindered spirit
ual electricity of Him operated unhindered
upon the world.
What are the powers of evil going to do
with a man like Chrysostom, who replied to
take from him his goods because his treasure
was in heaven, exile him because heaven
was his fatherland?
Poverty is a curse, naturally If you want
to be rich. But if you want to do any real
service in the world, to do one Of the gold
en- deeds" that have made men supermen,
riches are merely in the way.
1t is the terrible man who has nothing
and wants nothing that is most feared in pol
itics.
The lofter your ambition the less stuff
you need.
"Frederick the Great won Rossbach by his
miraculous marching" says the historian,
ION the lightest possible equipment"
When Grant started out to capture Vicks-
burg he took, they said, nothing with him
but a gum coat and toothpick.
The reason why young people fail and
become disappointed old people is that they
have given too much attention to baggage.
They are so anxious to have means" that
they never have lends"
l really believe I have known more souls
in whom the heroism was eXtinguished by
too much possessions than by too little.

Never before in his life had he given so

PENN STATE STUDENTS
GOING TO BIG CONTEST

STATE COLLEGE. Pa, Nov. 10.
Penn State students, loyal to
their football team in victory or de.
feat, will migrate toward Phila-
delphia this weekend for the an.
nual grid battle with the University
Of Pennsylvania. Despite the
rather mediocre record of, the
team to date compared to Penn's
triumphant march, it is estimated
that at least half the student body
will follow the Nittany Lions to
Franklin Field.
The famous Penn State military
band will be on hand for the con.
test, and it is expected that the
band will also play at the big
Penn State smoker in the Bellevue.
Stratford on Friday night. This
will be the first trip Of the season
for the band and they will also
make the trip to Hittsburgh on

has bought canvas to cover the EN-.

Made In sections of forty by
sixty feet, the canvas viii be spread
over the gridiron the night before
each big game to protect the turf
from frost and rain. Each section
will overlap.
This is just another step in mod.
ern football which appears to be
more practicable than the antiquated
method of scattering salt hay over
the turf. To remove the hay re.
quired more assistants than will be
needed to roll up the canvas, which
can be done very quickly.
In spite of the quantity of hay
used, rain always drlpped through.

Illinois And Chicago

Big Thrill

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-The
quality of the football displayed
Saturday in the game between
Chicago and Illinois brought
from Walter Camp, veteran
football expert, who was on
the side line, the comment that
he had seen more real football
in thirty minutes than he had
witnessed in the East all season
thus far. mot often do you
see two such football players

Carly" said Camp after he had
watched the Illinois player gain
persistently and top his per-
Torrance with an eighty yard
run for a touchdown that tied
the score, and followed mccarthy
during his line plunges that cut
wide gaps in the Illinois line
during the first half before the
defense was changed to stop

HAGEN HAS NEW
KIND Of SHOT

ImperturbabiIity Is Stroke
That Has Kept Champion
in Colts Top Row

"The best shot Walter Hagen has
In his bag is his imperturbability,"
commented a British golfer in this
country the other day. yes, I
realize imperturbability is a com.
prehensive way of saying that the
emotions are about as nearly under
control as it is humanity possible to
have them-that's Hagen. The fact
that he has got that shot better
developed than any one else is the
reason he gets away with it, even
though he is not a perfect golfer,
or rather. a brilliant one. Duncan
on occasion is far more brilliant
than Walter ever has any need to
be. but If things do not go quite
right with Duncan he is liable to
hit the sky. whereas Hagen, judging
by his showing. when he makes q
bad shot continues in the even
tenor of his way as though it had
never occurred.
"Of course composure is a thing
Of individual temperament and Is
possessed by some to a greater ex-
tent than others. but it has to be
developed. and the custom which
prevails in the United States to a
larger extent than in any other
country of the professional being
almost daily opposed in four-ball
play by the best material among
the members of the club is the
cause of that mental attitude to-
ward the game which is reflected
in the superiority Of Americas
representatives in international
tournaments.
Thus. If my contention is right,
the matter of supremacy between
the professionals Of America and
those Of Britain is going to devolve
upon the attitude of those who
form the memberships of the clubs
In the two countries toward pro-
fessionals. I am afraid. though,
that things in that direction over

women OF TWO
NATIONS MAY
PLAY GOLF
International Matches Like
Walker Cup Hoped For
BY Links Women

There is no apparent reason why
the proposed formation Of a series
OF American British golf events
among women players patterned
after the fashion Of the mems
Walker Cup matches should not be
brought about. Women are coming
along in the two most widely
played Of the amateur sports in the
country today, golf and tennis
There is already an international
women's team match in tennis and
there seems to be no reason why
the plan would not be a success
with the golf players.
At first it is probable that the
women's golf team would meet
with very little success. So far
the American women who have
gone to England to play in the
tournaments over there have not
succeeded very well. While the
general average of men golfers in
this country has gone ahead Of the
British average, the British women
still retain the upper hand.
But the women OF this country
who started the thing off would al.
ways have whatever satisfaction
there is in the world for the
blazers OF the trails. They would
at least be starring a thing which
| is extremely worth while.s At pres,
ent, the women's international ten.
mis- see-saws back and forth be.
tween the two countries.
But there seems to be less reason
why climatic differences between
the two countries ought to count
in golf. They will be big, Of course
and they always seem to affect the
women more than the men. But
there is not in golf the physical
| strenuousness OF tennis.
