TEAMS ENGAGE IN
 LAST HARD DRILL
Navy Making Final Preparations
 for Meeting Notre Dame

New York, Oct, 13.--lP-The last hard drill of a strenuous week was in order in eastern football camps today.
 Final preparations were being laid in the camp of the Navy for Sat urday's star battle with Notre Dame, and Coach Bill Ingram planned only light work tomorrow before taking his players to Baltimore. Ingram ex- poets a clcse, bitterly fought contest but thinks the Middies. if they reach their top form. will hold their own against the always spectacular as sault from the "Fighting Irish"
 There still remains the danger of this green and inexperienced team losing control of itself" Ingram said, but he added quickly that he expect ed the players to acquit themselves with glory under fire.
 Tad Jones called secret practice at Yale and ran his men through a long signal drill, dummy practice and sCrimmage. The varsity pushed across one touchdown with two regulars on the sidolines. Brown is the next hurdle on the Eli schedule.
 Harvard looked better than at any time this season when 1t scored three times on d team of ineligible players. Taking the ball on it's 4o-yard line the varsity marched so yards in SIX plays. Coach Horween then yanked bis first string backs.
 Bill Roper, groori'ng his Prince ton huskies for Washington and Lee Saturday and Cornell the following week. said that prospects were en- couragng, despite the fact that tight places had to be filled when the season started.
 Penn and Lafayette worked through driZzle the Quakcrs brushing up on fundamentals for the Penn State game and Lafayette per fectinc a defense for the encounter with West Virginia at Morgantown pittsburgh had to cut it's work short in order to make the jump to Des Moines for the tussle with the Drake | Bulldogs but the Panthers are il good physical condition. Coach Gi Dobie at Cornell looked over his guards carefully, determining which ] broke quickest into the otf-tacklt , formation.
 Columbia's coaches are growing 1 two sets of backs for the Colgate game and were hopeful they could press the second string into action al some stage of the contest, Several shifts in the lineup marked the Armys preparation for the Davi: and Elkins game. A stiff wind gave
 the cadets a real test in handling punts. Syracuse worked behind clos ed gates polishing it's forward pass defense for Georgetown. New York university had it's third hard scrim- mage in succession for the contest with Fordham. The tackling of the Violet team was sharp and sure.

Notes-In a very interesting article
in Foreign Affairs, Prof. Leith of Wis
consin points out the following facts:
The world has exploited" more of
it's mineral resources within the last
20 years than in all preceding years.
Three -fourths of the worlds output
of iron comes from the United States,
England. France. Sweden and Spain.
Two-thirds of the worlds output of
coal comes from the United States.
England and Germany. Two-thirds
of the worlds output of copper comes
from the United States and Chile.
Over half Of the worlds output of
gold comes from the Union of South
Africa. The United States originates
and controls about 40 per cent of the
worlds mineral production, and the
United States and Great Britain to-
gether control at least 75 per cent.
The United States alone is doing
about 40 per cent Of the worlds (ine-
chanicaD work, and its next nearest
competitor. Great Britain, about a
quarter as much as the United
States.

Some interesting addresses were

ence recently held in Geneva. An Eng.

eventually disappear, study of the
records of several thousand convicts
having shown that the fertility of
criminals as compared with that OF
the community in general Is as to 8.
He declared that education should be
discouraged in countries desiring a
high birth rate. For why? The more

children.

erationS and activities in the United
States are now on a broader scale and
more diversified than in any other
nation.
Increase Shown.
Air traffic operations in 1927 show
an enormous increase both in number
and volume of business. Regular
commercial service was inaugulated
during the past year over routes
totaling 2,429 miles. and air transport
operators now serve 20 some cities
over mileage of 5000 Four air
transport operators under contract
with the American Railway Express
60. now are providing air express
service on five routes with an aggre-
gate mileage of 4 500 miles. The -
airmail routes. including several which
will be established early in 1928. will
serve 66,000,000 people in the various
sections Of the country along the air
ways.

Many enterprises are showing a profit
and are extending their business with
the acquisition of new equipment and
the use of better airport facilities.
Production to Double.
II is expected that the production of
airplanes this year will at least double
the 1925 output of 1,1S6 planes, and
even this may be too moderate an
estimate, according to the aeronautics
branch of the Department of Com
werce, which reports that the industry
is far behind on orders. although it
started out the year with surplus
stock. 1t is estimated that additional
civil planes now are being placed in
operation at rate of more than 100
a month.

his city and his time pre-eminent in
the history of civilization. Born OF
aristocratic lineage about 490 B. c.,
he had had for teachers Zeno of Flea,
whose subtle theses on the unreality
of motion have puzzled puZzle-loving
philosopherS for 20 centuries, and
Anaxagoras, one of the founders of
rational theism among the Greeks.
Many years later, when PeriCleS was
absorbed in affairs of state. he lost
track of the old philosopher who had
taught him to love beauty and wis

doned an estate to follow philosophy

self faced with the alternatives OF
charity or starvation. Choosing star
vation, he wrapped his toga over his
head and awaited death. Pericles,
hearing of it, hurried to him and (says
Plutarch) "besought him to live, la.
menting not Anaxagoras' fate, but his
own if he should lose so great a
counselor" Anaxagoras replied that
those who wished to use lamp must
piled the oil and Anaxagoras consent
ed to live
But Pericles found it dangerous for
a public man to associate with
philosophers. The people Of Athens,
though free from priests, were re-
ligious to the point of bigotry and
superstition; every art had to attach
itself to their mythology in order
to find hearing and tolerance. The
great outburst of architecture and
sculpture. painting and music, drama
and poetry, science and philosophy,
that made the century from Pericles
to Alexander the greatest in human
history, came from an intellectually
emancipated minority. opposed and
often prosecuted by the simpler citi-
zenS of the state.
So the political enemies Of Pericles
sought to embarrass him by indict-
ing Anaxagoras on a charge Of inn
piety. The philosopher had said.
with moderation, that the sun was
"a red.hot mass many times larger

protested against this blasphemy, and
Pericles had to prescribe travel for
his friend. The leaders of the mob
attacked him again for his intimacy
with the Sophists. those itinerant
skeptics whose fearless teaching did
for Greece what the bright warriors
Of the Enlightenment did for France.
Finally they assailed him most bit
tery for divorcing his wife and mar
rying the questionable Aspasia.
