WHEN ARISTOTLE. at II, ar
Nv rived in Athens, bringing the for
tune inherited from his father, Nicho-
machus, physician to the king of
Mncedon, he came for knowledge. But
his idea was not to get polished up
and hurry home to change his educa-
ton into more money.
He hunted up Plato, studied with
him, for rs long as Plato lived, about
20 years, and then set up teaching on
his own account. He did get a job,
for four years as private tutor to
Alexander the Great, but not for the
sake of cash.
That Greek student from st. Agra
developed what was probably the
most powerful and remarkable brain
in all this carth's history. And that
is worth while, although he never had
white collar around his neck.

Brooks Filler and Laredo
Artilleryman Return
to Camp.

Lost IN the wilderness
since last Thursday, two
army officers wandered
back into camp Monday
morning in the interior of
Mexico ending a frantic search by
cowboys, airplanes and soldiers who
feared that they had persisted in the
wilds of the mountainous country.
The officers who bravcd che wilder
ness were Lieutenant Clarence 8.
Thorpe. Brooks Field aviator, and
Lieutenant Marion NJ. Pharr, Fourth
Field Artillery, Laredo.
They walked out of a camp near
Rodriguez, Nuevo Leon, last Thurs
day morning in search of deer and
did not return. After securing the
nearby country for the pair, the hunt
ing party sent for help and Monday
morning airplanes from Brooks Field
were flying over the rugged country
searching for traces of the missing
hunters.
RETURN TO CAMP.
And as cowboys, civilians and sol
diers formed searching parties to comb
the brush, branching out from the
hunters camp as headquarters, the
missing men came stumbling through
the brush at the end of the clearing.
Their appearance was greeted with
cheers by the assembled searchers who
had all but given them up for dead
They had become lost during the
hunt Thursday morning and had wan
dered for days. They met several
campers in the mountainous region.
and were given directions, but night
always found them lost in the dense
brush and they were forced to spend
the cold nights sheltered only by the
scant protection of little clumps of
bushes.
Wild animals approached their
stopping place, but fire was kept
burning for protection and when day
light came they continued TO push
through the rugged country, but day
after day passed with no trace of
civilization in sight.
PLANES AID SEARCH.
1t was not until Monday that the
country seemed bit more familiar
and shortly after dawn they saw the
first sign of their camp. They pushed
forward faster than ever then, they
said.
Although they were hungry and
tired, their clothes torn by briars.
the officers were little the worse for
their experience in the wilderness.
Lieutenants Thorpe and Pharr
were members of hunting party of |
four that left Laredo last Monday
on an overland trip to the north
western section of Nuevo Leon. Other
members of the party were Lieuten-
ants Fred l.. Hamilton and Daniel
Z. auckland, of Fort Hinggold.

lntosh at Laredo Friday and Sunday
Captain C. b. Oldfield, Lieutenant
Charles t. Meyers Jr., and n. +.
Twinig flew to Laredo TO start the
airplane search in the mountains.
Lieutenant j. c. Kennedy of Brooks
