HIGH
BALL PLAYERS
To GRADUATE
INTER.HIGH RACE
BY SID KATZNELL

Cliff Moore, hard-working base
ball coach OF Western High, is in
a dilemma endeavoring to find
players capable of filling the
shoes of Jimmy Corcoran. Larry
Schneider, Francis De Stephan,
Franck Wynne. Phil Boundford
and Ed Loveless. All will gradu-
ate before another baseball sea-
son rolls around.
Moore will especially miss the
services of De Stephan and
Wynne, third seman and
catcher, respectively. They are
two of the finest players in the
inter-high series. Both can hit
and field with the best of 'em. In
fact De Stephan is considered one
OF the best fielding third sackers
to participate in the series in a
decade. He plans to enter Villa
nova College to study dentistry.
Clinch Third Place
Yesterday Western won third
place honors in the series by
easily doing away with Tech at
Eastern Stadium. II to 5.
The Big Red" team drove out
IL hits, including a home run by
Wynne. The big catcher con
nected for his circuit clout in the
third inning with Corcoran and
De Stephan aboard.

singles in five trips to the plate

The whole thought then ia that in

Natural Mineral Water Often

Why is it that a fine natural min

many thousands suffering from @rheu-

DIR. w. E. Fitch, noted medical
authority on mineral water, in a re-
cent radio talk over the National
B~roadcasting System stated:
"For many years, it has been a mys-
terry even to the medical world just
how natural mineral waters produced
the amazing results that have made
them SO popular. Scientific and mcdi-
cal discoveries and research in the
last few years, however, are penetrate
ing these secrets of Nature, SO that
now medical men have a new UNDER
standing Of the reasons for the power
OF natural mineral water to relieve
suffering. Onc of these reasons Is
what is known as secondary minerals
ization, by which is meant that not
only the prcdominating chemical con-
stitucnts of q mineral water are Of
aid but also what are known as the
secondary mincrals-thosc present in
Inhnltesimal quantities. The very fact
OF their being present in this wav

Splendid Progress Being Made in the United States.
Where the Experiment of Universal Educa-
ton Had Its Inception.

When Will Durant ventured to put
out a thick volume entitled .Tbe
Story of Philosophy" nobody In the
business would have ventured to
forecast a sale of 100000 copies. but
that was what happened. Some of
the philosophers were ANNOYED py

made their lectures more interesting
If they wanted a monopoly.
Many of the historians were

some of the WORKS which caught the
fancy of readers were both thin and
misleading. but the new style OF pre-
sentIng history as an exciting and
vital subject did much tc broaden
the market for what the booksellers
speak OF as "nonfiction." In the typi-
cal bookstore two exhibits greet the
eye of the visitor. One Is a ease CON

ternieces of the past, the standard

People are decidedly ready to be in

Unfortunately there is no reason
to believe that the great bulk of the
population is prepared and willing to
wrestle effectively with the great
problems of the day. There is still
illiteracy, which Is not being de-
creased while thousands of schools
are closed or on short time. The
of prejudice continue to inter-
fere with the working OF the human
intellect, and there is d prevalence
OF the disposition to avoid problems
that appear difficult. Yet there has
been progress. The intellectual base

POLICEMAN FREED
ON ASSAULT CHARGE
Judge Mattingly Dismisses Case
Against Howard Pilling Of
Third Precinct.

Judge Robert E. Mattingly in Po-
lice Court yesterday dismissed charges
Of assault against a third precinct
policeman after testimony of the
complaining witness, who also is
charged with assault and disorderly
conduct. had been proven contradic-
tory.
The officer, Howard Pilling, was
charged with having assaulted James
Clark, colored, on September % near
the Washington Auditorium, where a
walking contest was in progress. Clark
claimed Pilling, who was in plain
clothes on duty at the contest, struck
him over the head with the butt of
his revolver without provocation. He
also charged that other third precinct
officers had threatened him if he did
not drop his charges against Pilling.
The policemen denied Clark's
charges. Pilling testified he arrested
Clark on a charge of disorderly con-
duct as "Peeping Tom" and that he
