The American Obelisk

a BOUT forty years ago the then
a khedive OF Egypt, Ismail Pasha,
presented one OF the forty-two known
obelisks In the world to the city II
New York. The city OF New York
caused II to be erected upon prom
inent spot In Its great Central park
and. just as the pasha probably sur
missed, 1t since has proved to be an
object OF marked curiosity 10 the mill
lions OF Americans who have seen It
This Is the only Egyptian obelisk
In America. Only FIVE OF the other
forty-one are larger. 1t Is composed
OF syenite-a stone which greatly re-
sembles granite, 60 feet high, Z
feet 0 inches square at the base,
tapering to feet inches at the top,
Is mounted on a 2-foot base and
weighs 214 tons.
Its surface Is covered with his
toric inscriptions cut In Egyptian
hieroglyphics, which are somewhat
obliterated on one side, due It's said,
to exposure to the sand storms OF the
desert. Experts declare that II has
aged and been injured more since II
has been In America chan In all the
centuries of Its previous existence,
owing to the changeableness OF our
climate compared to that OF Egypt.
Accordingly, 1t has been coated with
a preservative material to stop fur
Their damage by the weather.
History records that this obelisk
was originally erected al Hellopolis,
but was moved to Alexandria about
the Twelfth century by Augustus
Caesar-presumably as spoil OF war,
and dates back fifteen centuries before
the coming OF Christ or to the reign
of Thotmes Ill.

 Illinois conference season will not open until October 19, when they play Iowa, which will give Zuppke over month in which to round out his team, which is expected to put in strong bid for a third consecutive Big Ten conference championship Practice games with Kansas here October and Bradley here October 12 are expected to smooth out the rough spots and put the Illini in excellent shape for the stiff conference cam paign.
 The schedule calls for games with Michigan, Northwestern, Chicago and Iowa, with game with the army to be played here November 9, sandWiched in.

OREGON IN STORE FOR TOUGH GRID
 SCHEDULE IN FALL

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu- gene, Sept. 13.-From the opening game of the season against Pacific University at Eugene, September 21 until the final tilt with Florida at Miama, December ', the Oregon football team will have only two idle week-ends. The severity of the 1929 schedule and the great amount of travel will be the pre- dominant factors in the success of the Webfoots this year
 Playing an early season confer ence game with Stanford, October 5, Oregons strengths and weakness es will be made known at an early date. The power of Stanford's teams at the outset of the year has often been overrated, but it will take a great Webfoot combina- ton to get over the hump. The Oregonians will have had little more than ten days of work when they step onto the Palo Alto field for the clash with Pop Warner s tricky Cardinals.
 Oregon's second light game will be played with Willamette the week after the tough Stanford contest. From that time onward the Oregon team will be up against a series of powerful opponents.

Georgia Tech very obligingly en- . ded most of the argument over the award of gridiron champion ship laurels last season by taking the all-important decision from California in the big battle at Pasa- dena, thereby keeping one of the few clean states of the year al- together spotless.
 Now another campaign and a fresh outburst of debate is about to get under way. In fact this week will see most of the squads of big colleges throughout the coun- try in moleskins for the early training places. It has caused some agitation upon the part of those who deplore this football overem- phasis but the fashion for train ing camps is well established now. The stakes nowadays and the pre- mium on victories are high enough to justify all the elaborate advance preparations.
 From this coming tower it looks like another open battle all along the football fronts. Georgia Tech will be very much in the running again. No team with such ball carriers as Mizel and Thompson can be kept from rolling up lot of yardage on anybody's field. Duke, Florida, Tulane and Ten nessee are other strong looking Southern teams. Tennessee had a great young pair of backs last fall in Hackman and McEver. They should be greater this year.
 Army, Pittsburgh, Carnegie, N. Y. U., Georgetown and Pennsylvania, were among the casts best teams last year, although each absorbed a few bumps. Pitt should be one of the strongest again but Carnegie and N. Y. U. have been hard hit. The Scotch lost their great quarter back, Howard Harpster, and Cy Letzelter, fine halfback, now a West Point plebe. N. Y. U. has lost Ken Strong, All-American car rier, and Ed Hill from the back field, Al Lassman and Bob Barabee towers of strength in their line.
 Illinois, Big Ten champions twice in a row, will have most of it's stars back, including eight regu- lars of the 1928 array. The Illini

ScrippS-Howard STAN Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA Aug. 22.-Trou-
bles are besetting Senator Elect
William S. Ware on every side.
Faced with the prospect of almost
certain rejection by the senate in
December because of huge expendi-
lures in his senatorial primary cam
paign of 1926, Ware now is fighting
to prevent his former lieutenants
from removing him as leader of the
powerful Philadelphia Republican
machine.
Leading the fight against Ware IS
Mayor Harry a Mackey, for years
one of Wares chief lieutenants, and
his senatorial campaign manager.
Associated with Mackey is Alfred
Greeneld, millionaire real estate OPP
orator, and County Commissioner
George Holmes, who for years we're
identified with the Ware organiza~
ton, and John Monahan, district at
torney, who several months ago
prosecuted big bootlegging interests.
Allied with them is the Republican
league, an organization of indie
pendent Republicans, who are SEEK
ing to "clean house" municipality.
Mackey's chief interest, it is re-
ported, is to assert his proves so
forcibly that next spring the Mellon
interests in Pittsburgh and other
state leaders will have seriously to
consider him as the Republican
candidate for Governor.

The seemingly futile effort to dis
place Miss Helen Wills as queen OF
American tennis courts were near
ing it's climax today. Besides the
defending champion, only four
American and three British women
remained as candidates when the
ouarter-final round of the national
women's championships was started.
Four matches were on the days
program with two British and two
American girls expected to win. Miss
Wills faced her first really serious
opponent in Mrs. L. R. G. Michel of
the British Wightman cup team.
The California girl was unanimous
favorite.
Betty Faces MOlla
The second former champion to
gain the quarter-fnals, Mrs. Molla
Mallory, who held the title seven
times, was expected to accept the
role of spectator after today's match.
She was to meet Betty Nuthal,
Britain's ranking woman star, and
was not expected to survive the
brand of tennis Betty is playing.
The other British woman expected
to take her place in the semi-flnal
four was Mrs. Phoebe Watson, sec
ond ranking player in England. Mrs.
Watson was to play Miss Edith Cross
today.

PILL never TO
REPLACE STEAK,
SAY SCIENTISTS
Scout Prediction of End to
Meals by Substitution of
CoIored Tablets.
BY HENRY MINOTT
United Press Staff Correspondent

BOSTON, Aug. 22.-The Oft
predicted day when the busy bust
ness man will swallow merely
high-caloried tablet, instead of
spending half an hour or more over
his MONDAY meal, never will ar
rive, according to a consensus Of
scientists attending the thirteenth
international physiological congress
here today.
Not one of a dozen representative
delegates interviewed on the sub
ject could see even a remote posi-
bility of this dream of the efficiency
expert coming true
The restaurant, not the pillboX,
still would be the conventional source
of nourishment a hundred years
hence, they all agreed.
Vegetarian Is Approved
Professor Carlo Foa, director of
physiology at the University of
Milan, declared the fact that the
stomach required a certain amount
of substance for a human being to
exist precluded the possibility of
deriving the necessary nourishment
from a mere tablet.
Experiments which I have made
in dabbling with this subject con-
vinces me that no such high con-
centration of food is possible on
practical basis" he said.
Professor J. E. JohannSon of
Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, to-
day expressed approval of the eat
ing habits of the vegetarian
Following a vegetable diet was
good for the health in most cases,
he said, provided there was proper
variation of vegetables.
Asked his opinion regarding recent
scientific claims that the strident
changing of the alarm clock was
menace to the health of the person
thus being violently aroused for
slumber, the Swedish psychologist
said:
No Harm in Alarm Clock
1.-THE alarm clock won't cause
physical harm - unless somebody
throws one at you. But it may well
cause mental harm if the person
