Then

Cornell's high-powered, underslung applecart had, up to last week, trundled through three seasons and two games without lurching. along came Williams-in particular Left End Ide of Williams. The Big Red applecart took a lurch, a swerve, a jolt on the thank-you-ma'm, and lumbered off the road 7 to 14. Ide, scion of Troy, N. Y., collar-makers, scored both Williams' touchdowns, one by whisking up a fumble, one by fastening on a pass. Cornell, fast and brawny, fumbled five times, Williams, fast and brainy, worked smoothly.

At Annapolis, another capsizing occurred. Marquette cruised all the way from Milwaukee and blew the Navy out of water, 21 to 3. Navy led until the second half, when the Milwaukeans took turns scampering to the Navy goal. Skemp scampered 45 yards, McCormick 65, Dilweg 75.

Princeton had little joy of her guests from Lehigh. Large fellows, they kept their goal line inaccessible and would have crossed Princeton's had Right End Burke not stepped out of bounds on a longish run. The scoreless tie made it obvious that Princeton could neither drop-kick nor punt.

Had it occurred to Quarterback Moore of Georgia to drop-kick from the 17-yard line in the last period, Yale might not have squeaked through 7 to 6. But Moore forgot or disdained or just did not know. He passed, was beaten. The Georgia running attack was superb. For Yale, Halfback Cottle passed, plowed. scored.

Harvard's game with Middlebury was reminiscent of the 6-to-6 tie that stuck in the Crimson craw last year. Captain Klevenow, of the Vermonters, missed his try for goal, however, and Rogers and Gherke gathered belated points for Harvard. Score: Harvard, 16; Middlebury, 6.

During Dartmouth's 38-to-0 seige upon Vermont, Halfback Oberlander transported the ball for a total of 200 yards, scored four of six touchdowns. When he runs, Oberlander puts 197 pounds in rapid motion.

Syracuse roughed and tumbled about with William and Mary, won 24 to 7, but lost the services of Halfback Bowman, the fleet "Chet" Bowman who ran for the U. S. in Colombes Stadium last July. Tackled violently, Bowman left the field "indefinitely," his neck and shoulders damaged.

From behind a forward wall which clicked into side formations at a signal, Chicago smashed and smashed at Brown, rammed home 19 points to 7 with straight football. A blocked kick led to Brown's score, but a flight of passes failed to add to it. This was the first "big intersectional game."

In the one Western Conference game of the week, Ohio State and Iowa spent an afternoon bunting, barging, bucking, kicking, passing-and the score was 0-0. Michigan University and the Michigan Aggies seemed about to come to a like conclusion when, as dusk came down, a 33-yard pass shot into Aggie territory, a Michigan end touched down.

Illinois pulled herself together and swamped Butler 40 to 10, Halfback McIlwain looking almost the man his captain, Red Grange is. Grange played 16 minutes, scored 12 points.

Northwestern and her lusty Ralph Baker took 42 points from Cincinnati.

On the Pacific Coast, where football championships are celebrated by burning up great pyramids of pine trees, California set about her season by letting Pomona off at 28 to 0. Oregon was even gentler with Pacific, 20 to 0.

Washington State amassed the week's largest total, 55 points gathered to the acute discomfort of Whitman.

Southward, Vanderbilt wrenched this way and that at the Quantico Marines but could not break a 13-to-13 tie.

Alabama descended vigorously upon Mississippi, 51 to 0. Virginia, a promising combination, subdued Randolph-Macon, 26 to 6.

Louisiana journeyed up to Indianapolis and trailed behind Indiana throughout a featureless first half. Then she rose in her strength, burst through, won 20 to 14. This was another "first big intersectional game."

At Latonia

Faster, faster, faster they went. Around the turn, along the back stretch, faster, faster, faster. Fifty thousand people rose to watch them finish, those eight swift-galloping horses, seven of America's best against the best of France. Into the home stretch they swept, brown and black bodies, flashing colored silks, rising, falling, tearing through their own mad dust-cloud.

Up to the grandstand, past the judges' stand they thundered, and it was seen that Sarazen led all the

rest. A length and a half behind Sarazen, a nose ahead of brown Mad Play, came Epinard, runner-up a third time in the international races for which he crossed the Atlantic. Came Altawood, Princess Doreen, Little Chief, My Play, Chilowee.

The scene was Latonia, Kentucky; the distance run, a mile and a quarter. When the prizes were distributed, Mrs. William Kissam Vanderbilt II could not restrain a smile, several smiles. Horse Sarazen was her horse.

Pierre Wertheimer smiled too, but a bit grimly. His Epinard had failed him again, for second money does not become "the finest horseflesh of France."

British Golf

An obliging young woman is Miss Joyce Wethered. She spent last week going around and around the Cooden Beach golf links in Sussex, England, demonstrating to her countrywomen that she, aged 22, is by far the ablest golfemale whom great Britain and perhaps the worldpossesses. It was the third time in as many years that Miss Wethered had made this ladies' championship demonstration. In her six 18-hole matches this year, she permitted none of her opponents save Miss Cecil Leitch, semi-finalist, to survive beyond the 14th green. Miss Leitch reached the 15th. In the 36-hole final, Miss D. R. Fowler walked back to the clubhouse from the 29th.

World's Series

Telegraph wires hummed as if war were declared. Thousands and thousands and thousands of people ramjammed into automobiles, street-cars, subways and onto sidewalks, honking and shouting and pushing their way. The New York "Giants" and the Washington "Senators" continued their exciting argument over the baseball championship of the planet.

Fourth* Game. At the Polo Grounds, Manhattan, long, lean George Mogridge uncoiled his snakelike left arm, sore these several weeks, and with it manipulated a ball so quaintly for seven innings that the Giants could make but two runs while the Senators made five. In the eighth inning, the arm began to tire and one "Firpo" Marberry relieved Mogridge, holding the Giants safely. Score: Washington 7, New York 4. The series was even, two games apiece.

Fifth Game. Still in Manhattan, "Good Old Walter" Johnson sought a second time to pitch a winning World's Series game. But Giant batsmen found his swift throws rare sport to bat about. They crashed 13 of them safely, circulated freely (Continued on Page 28)

What is the reason for the great popularity of Modern Eloquence? It is not alone the fact that Modern Eloquence offers inspiration and suggestion for the preparation of a speech on almost any subject. It is also a work you may go to at any time for information, for entertainment and for inspiration.

A Liberal Education

This is not a set of books which you must read in the sense of studying hours at a time. Continuity of reading is not required. While the speeches are all complete-no excerpts-you can read any one in thirty minutes or less. And in that time you will acquire more helpful information and ideas than you can obtain in several hours' reading of almost any other literature. In Modern Eloquence you get the crystallized thought of great minds so stated as to be instantly understood.

A Complete Course

On Occasional Speaking

Volume XII includes a study course of ten lessons on "Learning to Speak in Public," prepared by Professor Harry Morgan Ayres, of Columbia University. In addition there are special articles on the same subject by such recognized authorities as Albert J. Beveridge, Brander Mathews, William Jennings Bryan, Joseph French Johnson and men of equal reputations.

Modern Eloquence provides the material and suggests ideas for speeches for practically every occasion. The study course describes the best methods for using this subject matter. And the 100 page index makes every subject instantly available.

Try to read these pages. See how easily you can learn to read and speak SPANISH, FRENCH or GERMAN by the amazing new Pelman Method. Get the free book that explains why you already have a start toward mastering any foreign language

Read a foreign language at sight

NINE out of ten people think

that they know only one language English. Yet everybody who can read an American newspaper intelligently actually knows hundreds of words in French, Spanish and German; a large part of the words you use every day are ALMOST IDENTICAL IN MOST EUROPEAN LANGUAGES.

No method of teaching languages has ever made full use of this amazing fact, until the Pelman Language Courses were written. They do not contain a word of English, yet in spite of this you can read them easily, even if you think you do not possess the slightest knowledge of any foreign language.

If you can read and understand the two pages above, you will have no difficulty in learning to read, write and speak Spanish, French or German by the new Pelman method, in 8 to 12 weeks.

No Translation

You are not required to translate the foreign language into English, or English into the foreign language. You learn these languages as a Frenchman, a Spaniard or a German learns his mother tongue. English is not used at all. Yet the method is so simple that even a child can understand it.

One enthusiastic student writes:

"It is astonishing to me that I have been able to go through over 400 pages WITHOUT REFERRING TO A DICTIONARY. I have been able to learn and understand the meanings of some hundreds of words in a language with which I was previously unacquainted."

Another student says:

"You have taught me EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO LEARN, 'conversational Spanish,' without the usual 'grammar-fogging' system so prevalent in schools and so useless in everyday conversation."

Every lesson keeps you interested and eager for the next. The few rules of grammar that you need are picked up AUTOMATICALLY-almost uncon

sciously. It is only after you can already speak and read readily that the subject of grammar is touched-but correct pronunciation and accent are taught from the very first lesson by a remarkable new invention that makes this part of your progress astonishingly easy. The Pelman Language Courses are taught entirely by mail. They bring mastery of languages within your easy reach, no matter where you live.

Do you realize that a knowledge of language can help you win a better position and a larger

salary? Do you know that men and women of culture are familiar with at least one of the principal European tongues? Are you aware that hitherto unknown pleasures await you in the reading of the great works of French, Spanish and German authors in the original?

Remarkable Book Free

Here you have had only a mere hint of the fascinating and enjoyable way you can now learn any foreign language through the remarkable Pelman method. The big, free book gives you a convincing demonstration of the actual method-actually teaches you to read at sight a page of the language you decide to learn.

BUSINESS ment by the roads in the last few

Current Situation

The past week has gone the way f its predecessors-significant in its promises of important future events, ret drab and colorless in its own acual happenings.

Corn and Wheat

Corn is regularly the biggest crop In the U. S., although wheat and coton attain more prominence in the headlines through their political significance.

This year, corn prices have risen with the dest of the cereals; and the corn belt's main worry has been as to the size of the current crop. Preliminary estimates as of Oct. 1 by the Department of Agriculture indicate a crop this year of 2,459,000,000 bu., compared with an actual crop of 3,046,387,000 bu. in 1923. Whether the higher price per bushel will compensate the corn-belt for its fewer bushels this year, remains a difficult problem.

On Oct. 1, the Department also estimates the spring wheat crop at 266,000,000 bu., and the winter crop at 855,000,000 bu., or a total of 1,509,000,000 bu., compared with 1,299,823,000 as an actual crop in 1923. Thus the wheat farmer will not only receive a higher price per bushel, but he will have this year a larger crop to sell. Thus his prosperity this year is beyond doubt.

The estimated corn crop this year is lower than the actual crop harvested in any year since 1914. The total wheat crop this year, as estimated, is fourth largest since 1914, being surpassed by 1,592,740,000 bu. in 1917, by 1,549,303,000 in 1915 and by 1,538,124,000 in 1918.

Freight-Loading Records

While different industries enjoy varying degrees of prosperity, the traffic on the rails indicates that a large volume of business is being carried on. During the week ending September 27, five new high records were hung up by freight loadings in this country.

The total for the week of 1,087,447 cars, to begin with, is the highest for this year and third highest in the history of the country. Grain loadings at 69,289 cars constituted a new high record for all time. Loadings for miscellaneous freight at 405,436 is another such record; and merchandise loadings at 258,458 cars is a third. Lastly, on Wednesday, Sept. 24, 1,013,184 loaded and empty cars were handled.

Yet, as in 1923, this extraordinarily heavy traffic has been handled without confusion, delay or breakdown. Facilities and equipment have apparently at all times been entirely adequate. The huge purchase of equip

years, coupled with large sums spent on maintenance of way, have made this record possible.

Cotton Estimate

The 1924 cotton crop is now ceasing to be entirely conjecture and beginning to become history. The crop is being picked and soon the ginnery figures will begin definitely to indicate its real amount. However, the period of conjecturing and estimating is not yet over. The Department of Agriculture has announced, as its estimate for the current crop on Oct. 1, 12,499,000 bales of 500 lb. each. This is a reduction of only 97,000 from the estimate by the same source for Sept. 16. The Department was almost equally reassuring as to the condition of the crop, which as of Oct. 1 it placed at 53.5% of normal, compared with a rating of 55.4% a fortnight earlier. Very evidently, at any rate, this year's crop will considerably exceed that of 1923, which was only 10,139,671 bales.

Texas is easily the premier cotton state, with an estimated crop this year of 4,255,000 bales; next comes Oklahoma, with 1,272,000 bales; and then Georgia, with 1,118,000; Mississippi, with 1,113,000; and Arkansas, with 1,068,000. No other state promised to have a million bale crop this year, although the next state in order, Alabama, is set down for 959,000.

on the bases. Freddy Lindstrom, 18-year-old Giant third baseman, gained loud applause by making four hits and numerous fielding demonstrations. Jack Bentley, Giant pitcher, propelled the ball as well from the plate as toward it, getting a home run with two men on base. Score: New York 6, Washington 2.

Sixth Game. Scene: Washington. Cast of Pitchers: Arthur Nehf of New York, J. T. Zachary of Washington. (Zachary is called "Zack the Giant Killer" by facetious friends. His full name in Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary). They duel. Immediately, enter Young and Kelly of New York. Each singles. Young scores. The duel continues. Enter Roger Peckinpaugh of Washington, who singles; Muddy Ruel, who sacrifices; McNeely, who walks.

Enter Manager Bucky Harris. He stings a single over third, scoring Peckinpaugh and McNeely. The duel continues, fiercely. Toward the end of the action Peckinpaugh's leg caves in. He is carried off the field. Cheers offstage, including a few quiet ones by the President of the U. S. The duel ceases. The series is tied again. Score: Washington 2, New York 1. Seventh Game. After three innings, Manager Harris of Washington hit a home run. In the sixth, the Giants countered with 3 runs. In the eighth, Manager Bucky Harris, with two of his subordinates on bases, scored both by whanging another crucial hit over third base. Score tied; Series tied; everyone frantic. Pitcher Marberry having been taken out and also pitchers Ogden and Mogridge, there was none left to defend Washington but "Good Old Walter." Forth he came, bravely he pitched. Tenth inning: no runs. Eleventh inning: scorless. Twelfth inning a liner from Muddy Ruel's bat screamed into left field. Muddy jubilated on second base. Then Walter Johnson reached first on an error. Whack! McNeely's hit toward third scooted low, hit a stone, bounded high over Lindstrom's head. Home streaked Muddy with Washington's first world's championship. Score: Washington 4, New York 3.

In St. Paul, the "Little World's Series" went the limit. Five victories were necessary to win. When the Baltimore "Orioles" and St. Paul "Saints" went westward after opening the series in Baltimore, the Orioles led 2 to 1. This lead was 3 to 1 after a fifth game.* St. Paul took the sixth with a fifth-inning rally, lost the seventh to Thomas' airtight pitching, then resolutely tied the series with two close games. The "twin cities" were, like Washington, ball crazy. Like the Senators, the Saints took the last game and the title.

*The third game was 6-6 tie.

Flight

AERONAUTICS

Men burning leaves or breaking the ground on little farms in Jersey, on fields beside rutted lanes in Delaware where few travelers come, heard, one cool morning last week, a humming and a drumming in the sky, looked up, saw over their heads a great silver shape that flew south as the birds were flying, as the grey geese, the sleek ducks that leave their marshy beds and beat away with the frost at their backs. The Shenandoah it was, which had on that cool morning left its hangar at Lakehurst to start on the longest flight ever attempted by an airship.

On it went. Cities under the arrowy path of its going, dropped behind like milestones Wilmington, Baltimore, Washington; then colored country again, woods and fields, the brave and opulent lands of proud Virginia. All day it flew south through the shining levels of the air, and south still after the sun had gone down and the moonlight poured on its silver sides, dimming the lights that pricked out along the gondolas. At dawn it passed Atlanta, turned west, crossed the Mississippi at Greenville. Cotton lands and wheat lands, sage lands and deltas. As the sun was sinking again, it reached Fort Worth, where it was moored within half a mile of the only plant in the world which produces the helium that fills its belly. So was ended the first lap of the journey. The time was 34 hours. The distance was approximately 1,400 miles.

When it took the air next morning, its arrogant nose was pointed at the Rockies. The morning's flying was serene enough, over Texas to Tucson and Chosise, Ariz., but in the late afternoon the mountains were reached, over which a wind was whistling jauntily. High in air climbed the dirigible, entering the Dragoon Pass; there was a great peak just as high that loomed out of the dusk, a black and ominous spike such as affrights the keels of lowlier boats, hard on the starboard side. "Left," signaled Commander Landsdowne on the bridge; the rudders turned, the Shenandoah writhed, and came around, her propellers biting the wind. The peril was left behind; so also, for a moment, was the course. Then the little light of a freight train that labored along far below pointed out the way, which lay directly along the route of the Texas Pacific R. R. After midnight, the ship -that haughty ship that almost stubbed its toe on a mountain peak-reached San Diego and the Pacific.

ZR-3

paused,

the Treaty of Versailles, at length left Friedrichshafen, Germany, for her long flight across the Atlantic.

Route.-Taking the direct route from Friedrichshafen, the big ship passed over the French Midi, over Bordeaux, along the Spanish coast of the Bay of Biscay, and out to the Azores Islands. Then she was to have flown to Bermuda and thence west-by-south to Lakehurst. A "local tornado" encountered an hour west of the Azores forced her to slow down to 25 m. p. h., however, and when the storm had passed, she veered northwest direct for Manhattan, a missing engine tuned in again to help hit up her pace to 75 m. p. h.

Purpose. Unlike the Shenandoah, the ZR-3 is designed for commercial use not warfare. She is 24 ft. shorter than the Shenandoah, but has 300,000 cu. ft. more gas-capacity and luxurious quarters for 32 passengers. Upon her arrival at Lakehurst, she was to be given over to the U. S. Navy for experimental work, the German crew and commander (Hugo Eckener) staying on to train a U. S. personnel.

The experiments will be conducted to ascertain the profitability of establishing commercial airlines between important U. S. cities.

Other Facts. The safe arrival of the ZR-3 was insured by Dutch and German companies for $600,000. Some said her purpose in sailing direct to Manhattan was to aid the German loan, the securities of which were offered to U. S. investors just previous to the big ship's arrival. The only Americans on board were the four members of the U. S. Naval Commission, pictured by The New York World as sitting "like drummers in a Pullman car" playing cards in mid-air and mid-Atlantic.

U. S. receiving stations began picking up intelligible wireless messages from the ZR-3 soon after she passed "the top of the hill," as mariners call the half-way line between the two Continents. The first message ran: "Alles wohl an bord schiff" (All well on board ship).
