Danes Ponder Restoration
OF Ancient Iron Industry

COPENHAGEN - Research sci
entists are reviewing the possibili-
ties of re-establishing the long
forgotten iron industry of Den
mark, which for hundreds of years
supplied the people of this country
with iron for swords and tools of
peace.
Through the finding of extensive
beds of brown coal, or Ignite, in
Jutland recently, the incentive to
commence the industry again is
rather popular, also because of the
shortage of raw material for this
industry
The smiths of Denmark in the
early days were artists at their
trade, and made the most ingen-
icus things.
In the shelter of the then great
forests of Denmark, in the 18th
and 10th centuries, iron making
flourished. The smiths built their
own FORCES, choosing a fairly high
hill; they felled their fuel and
hammered the iron on their own
anvils. Kings, warriors, and peas
ants were their customers.
Their furnaces were naturally
rather primitive, and so were the
methods for extracting the iron.
A hole in a hill was filled with
charcoal, on which the material
containing the iron was laid When
the whole had ignited the prim-
tive bellows We're put in action.
AS the mass shrunk more mater
ial was added, the process contin-
uing for about 10 hours, the result
being a cindery mass full of iron
grains.
The glowing lump was removed,
broken up in small pieces and re-
melted to remove the charcoal
completely from the iron, it being
then ready for hammering into
shape.
Historical documents from the
middle ages mention the iron in
dustry, not only in Jutland at
Vraad, Lysgaard, and Hid, but al
so in North Sjaelland. In the reign
of King Hans (14S1-1513) the
Crown owned iron works in Shame

mark, whence the smiths of

The three physicians, Drs. Harry
E. Mock, ST., Harry E. Mock, jr.
and Charles E. Mock, made their
recommendations in a paper pre-
pared for the 25th annual congress
of the National Safety Council.
They said that on the basis of

the press and by the American
Football Coaches Association, that
430 players died of injuries resulting
from football games between 1881
and 1916.
OF these, 233 died as the direct
result of injuries; lat as the result
of injuries suffered in play, the
paper said. OF the total, 45.7 per
cent were skull fractures and at
tendant brain injuries. There was
no breakdown in the death toll as
to college high school and sandlot
football.
This represents an average OF

Duke, Facing Middies,
Appears Headed for
Prewar Heights
BY the Associofsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 9.-For one
reason or another the Blue Devils of
Duke have been taking a back seat
compared with the one their neigh
boring North Carolina gridders have
had, but this week it's different
story as the Dukes get ready to move
another step closer to their prewar
heights when they face Navy.
The Tar Heels held the spotlight
until last Saturday afternoon when
Texas was winding up a $40 tri-
umph against the conference champs
and the Blue Devils were putting
the finishing touches on 1877. VIC
tory over the Tennessee Vols. 1t may
have been just after the completion
of those games that Duke eased
into the center of the stage and the
North Carolinians dropped back to
the chorus row for at least this one
show.
Should the Blue Devils make the
MidShipmen their third victims OF
the season, they'll merely be ac-
complishing a chore that has been
routine since September of 1916.
Navy won its opening game last
season, but has been losing steadily
since. The Middies this year have
been defeated by California and Co.
lumbia.
Unimpressive as that may be the
Duke Blue Devils still will be con-
sidered in an even more favorable
light than they are right now If
they take over the Navy.
One reason for that is Navy Coach
Tom Hamilton's statement to the
effect that he sincerely believes I'VE
have a good football team and that
we'll get started. We're better than
last year" And another reason Is
that three straight victories make
practically any ball club look good.
The Dukes yesterday took look
at the Middies' T-formation plays
and also polished up their own
offense. Eight Dukes, including
Tackle Al Derogatis and Capt. Ben
Cittading, watched from the side
lines as the squads injured members.
Yesterdays practices were much
the same throughout the conference
as the team got ready for games
that range from setups to the kind
that make coaches shudder

The doctors made these recon-
mendations:

offensive rather than defensive in design

2. A player who is injured suficiently to

head injury should not be sent back into
the game.
4. A physician should be present at every

Redskin 0Id-Timers
Fear Giants Despite
Weakened Attack

Turk Edwards and other Red
skin veterans who've been around
a few years brawling with the New
York Giants aren't taking Sundays
game at Griffith Stadium lightly,
even though some of the rockies
and most of the fans have an

the Giants De Witt Coulter, a big
boy of 262 pounds now, and Jim
White, a neat 225. The two New
York tackles are rated among the
best in the circuit when right, and
it seems that New York always is
right" for the Redskin game.
New York, which has been cuffed
around pretty badly this season,
has no passer to speak of, but it
has a big line it figures should
choke off the Skins running game,
and it has a flock of pretty good
defensive backs to guard against
Sammy Baugh's passes. There are
times when Coach Steve Owen
doesn't need much of an attack
to beat the Skins, as in Washing
tons first home game of 1912, when
the Giants won, 14-7, and didn't
gain as much ground as a crawling
baby. L. F. A.

Incensed Dons Want
Grid Officials Put
On Salary Basis
BY the Assoeiofed Press

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9.-General
Manager Harry Thayer Of the Los
Angeles DonS made a strong recon-
meildation today to improve football
officiating, and at the same time the
entire Don organization practiced
strong restraint from public utter
ance after viewing motion pictures
Of the Dons' 27-25 defeat by Buffalo
here last Sunday.
Thayer announced he would ask
the All-America Football Conference
at its next meeting to place all Of
ficials on an annual salary of not
less than $4,000 and junk the present
policy of paying them $10O game.
Thayer carefully refrained from
connecting his idea with the Buffalo
game, but there was no secret that
for non-talking pictures, the movie
Of the game spoke eloquently.
De Groot Is Incensed.
Head Coach Dudley De Groot
commented wryly: 1--WE were the
home club, we lost the game;
naturally, we can't say anything
BQt Cne plcCuTeS-.
The two big sequences in the film
were the two big scoring plays
which were called back, nullified
and the Dons penalized to the 10
and IS yard lines in the last quarter.
The first showed Glenn Dobbs'
touchdown pass to Bob Titchenal.
Officials said too much time elapsed
before the ball was snapped. OBJ
servers will swear Dobbs had the
ball and had made the turn to pass
when the whistle blew.
On the next play, from the 10,
DobbS' scoring end run was called
back-backfeld in motion, later re-
vised to illegal shift.
The film showed no illegal back
able shift came when Right End
Bob Nowaskey, his feet and. hands
motionless, grew weary of the load
and let one hip settle slightly.
What was more-and Dobbs hol-
Tered at the time-he took beating
as he lunged over the goal line, with
an official standing Immediately
over him.
Tackled After Sharing Pass.
Another choice view showed
Chuck Fenenbock tackled after
catching a pass. The ball left his
grasp and Fenenbock couldn't seem
to wiggle loose from the loving en-
brace of his tackler, a Buffalo man,
meantime, having plenty of time to
fall on the ball. Again an official
peered down with intense interest
at the struggle.
Back to Thayer's plan, which he
said was not original with him. A
substantial, set salary, he thinks,
would sharpen officials incentive
and also their officiating.
He said the colleges were welcome
to the idea, that they ought to get
together and pool officials with the
pros. And, with a grin, he said the
senior National Football League was
welcome to come in, too, but he
guessed the National wouldn't be
interested in anything coming from
the All-America. Thayer formerly
was with the Philadelphia Eagles
Of the National League.
Baseball hires umpires by the
year, he said. WhY not football?

Editor, The Citizen:

Of today is food conservation. I
would suggest the following:
: That we have a rat extermi-
nation week, and in that week,
say from Oct. 10 to Is, inclus-
i've, everybody set either traps
or poison during this period.
Needless for me to mention the
amount of food eaten. and ruined
by rats in the run of a year, as
there are too many articles on
the subject.
Living on an island, as we are,
I think we could come very
near exterminating the rats if
everybody worked together. And
then, too, there is the sanitary
angle, as rats breed different dis
eases. So let's all get traps or
poison and start Sunday.
