C.) from I'iraeus, port of SAIL skirt the Islands of Melos Antlmelos. of the Cyclades group, and after 15 hours of sail-ing the mountainous profile of Crete comes Into view. The Inland has area of about 3,300 square miles, being 100 miles long anil varying In width from 85 to 7ft miles. But what matter 1(10 miles In length? They could be traversed In a few hours at most by railroad If there were railroads, it takes days and days to cover Crete by land from one end to the other. many centuries before the Venetians held sway In Crete and before the Saracens left their Impress, the In-habitants of the Island had established a trading station at this point, to Judge from the fragments of cut stone dis-covered in the sea near the shore. Today Candia Is nearing the 40.000 population murk. Its white suburbs extend far beyond the old fortifica-tions. A few years ago an English engineer was commissioned to reor-ganize the port. The work Is being pursued with due regard to the his-toric value of the old fortifications. The southern const of Crete has few ine more accessible sections of Creie are now covered with a network of fairly Important highways, but In remote districts the traveler must use the traditional means of transport-ationdonkey or mule, over trails or uneven puths. And If It is necessary to ndupt oneself to the fatigue and the needs of one's animals. It Is also essential to take Into account the aversion which every Cretan feel, at the prospect of traveling at night. The whole Island Is dominated hy the mountains which Intersect It. They include the I.asitlii range In the east, with Mount Diete; the I'sllorltl, witn Mount Ida near the center of the Is-land, and to the west the White moun-tains, locally, and rightly, named the "Desert of Stone." These peaks rise to more than 7,000 feet and are cov-ered with snow in winter, but In sum-mer and early autumn large herds of sheep graze on the slopes. After the traveler leaves these herds, and the round stone huts where the solltnry shepherds live, he may wan-der over ninny trails without meeting a living soul. Then, from a mountain path, sud-denly a great plain will come Into view like that of Laslthl, formerly occu-pied by a lake. On a broad, elevated pass one some-times sees a straight line of wind-mills, occasionally as many as twenty or more, each placed in a specially ailvantntreous position to catch' nil the wind which the large wings require. The peasants from the villages climb up to thetn with their donkeys laden with grain. On the other hand, along the steep mountain slopes water mills are built In the ravines. The mills run only In winter, for during summer sure anchorages and most of the trade is handled by gulling cruft und motor boats. Lurge ships cannot approach the wharfs of the small Imrhors, but are obliged to remain some distance offshore. By means of a crane, mer-chandise Is unloaded Into a caiquq, which then opproaohos the beach us closely us possible. There nnked mod, standing in water up to their shoul-ders and with puds on their heudi seize the various objects and carry them ashore. As soon ns the ground swell rises, work must stop. ( Often at night, if the sea Is rough, a ship will uppronch the shore, blow Its whistle, and with the aid of a meg-aphone a conversation will follow be-tween vessel and port official. If the load offered Is unimportant, the ship pursues its course without stopping. These villages by the sea are very Isolated; In daylight they are hardly visible and at night not at ail, as no light marks them. They are as If "thrown Into the sea" by the moun-tain, which bars their access to the Interior. They are at the mercy of heavy southern storms, which all but deprive them of any outside communi-cation. An account of Crete would not be complete If we did not describe the means of locomotion to travelers. There Is but one rallrond In Crete and It Is three miles long. It was built In recent years for the transportation of stone from a nearby quarry to the harbor' of Candia.' The locomotives, christened Minos, Ariadne, and These-us, In honor of mythological characters that have plnyed prominent roles In the legendary history of the Island, are Justly admired by the entire pop-ulation. there la no rain; hence no water. Ancient Altars In Grottoes. While Crete has an extremely heavy rainfall, it Is limited to the wet sen-so-which commences In October or November. The water accumulates and rushes down the mountains In violent torrents; It penetrates the soil and circulates through a vast network of limestone grottoes. It was In these grottoes, now a fairyland of stalnc-tlte- s and stnlagmltes, that the first Inhabitants of the Island established the worship of their gods. Today one finds among the rocks the altars and paraphernalia of ancient rites. Some of these grottoes are veritable pits. Into which one descends with the Many Motor Cars There. Road construction has promoted the use of the automobile, but even where there are no roads a motor car is fre-quently seen. What with the mire of the mule paths, the stones, the brush, and the fields, one traveling by auto-mobile never knows wheu or if he will reach his destination, although his car carries the Inscription In large letters: "Express." lie who leaves Candia In the au-tumn for a trip across the Island sees spread before hlra large expanses of yellow and silvery green, with a few lines of austere black; these are the vineyards mixed In with the olive trees, while a few cypresses stund sol- - uuijr ui in a line. This vista continues even after he begins to climb In order to reach the desert interior of Crete, for the vine-ynrd- s and their attendant olive trees grow to a great elevation. Though they space out the farther one gets from the plain, nevertheless they re-main equally luxuriant. They creep Into small hollows or cluster on the very steep slopes sometimes they give the impression thut they are go-ing to slide off Into space while pret-ty vine arbors shade the streets of mountain villages. Kaislns play an important part In the economic life of Crete, la the large cities and at the ports oue may see In the rather dark factories the dif-ferent processes the raisins undergo. In Sitln, in eastern Crete, one may find the Impression they must have pro-duced on the imagination of the men of other days, when one notes the re-spectful awe they still command. The natives In their folklore still people these enves with monstrous men and animals. Villages dot the borders of the Cre-tan plnlns. and the Inhabitants come to their doors and smilingly Invite the pnsser-b- y to enter. Occasionally one meets a peasant on his way to the village, carrying on his head a basket overflowing with grapes. He will stop, select the most benutlful cluster, and offer them to the stranger with touching simplicity. In regions which are less protected from the elements, the locust tree grows, but It is bent and gnarled by Its battle with the violent north wind. There are vineyards on the hillsides and vegetables grow In the river beds, which are dry In summer, or on the thin layers of fertile soil which cover the stone of some of the seashore plains. Irrigation Is practiced Intel Ilgently ; large windmills raise the wa-ter, or horlas grind away as the wa-ter is raised pall by pail from wells. Canea and Candia. Canen, surrounded by Venetian ram-parts, Is the capital of Crete: It Is sit-uated in the western part of the Is-land. Candia, farther to the east and als.i on the northern shore, is the only oth-er city of commercial importance. Dur-ing tlie Venetian occupation of the Is-land this stronghold was known if Slcgnlo Castro (Great Fortress) ; but upon the wharves Immense golden areas of fruit drying in the sun he-fo-being packed in cases for ship-ment abroad. , Fresh grapes are ex-ported to Greece and to Egypt. , Crete takes an Important place among olive-oi- l producing countries. The oil is extracted In primitive presses by the peasants and on a larg-er scale In fuctories. Much of, the tuble oil Is consumed In America. The tobacco plantations of Crete have made great strides In recent years, as a direct result of one of tht most significant events of the eastern Mediterranean the exchange of na-tionals between Greece and Turkey fol-lowing the Trenty of Lausanne. Re-patriation brought to the Island many experienced . tobacco growers from Asia Minor. WOULD PLAY IOWA 1930 GRID GAMES Coach Swamped With Invi- - tations for Contests. Long distance telephone culls, car-rying offer for football game with ! Iowa next fall, kept Burt Ingwerseo's mind off lowa'a failure to gala In the Big Ten. "Ever alnc word was sent out that we were out of the tilg Ten football program next year," said the Iowa football coach, "my telephone has been bus; with long distance calls from schools which want games with us. I cannot announce the offers now, but we have some attractive ones. "Of course, I feel badly about the Big Ton's action, but I have taken 'era on the chin before and I can still stick It out Knute Rockne snld that Notre Dame, as fnr as he personally was concerned, would be glad to play Iowa as soon as dates could he arranged. Notre Dame Is under contract or verbal agreement for nine games next season, so Rockne held out little hone for an Iowa encounter In 1930. He be-- ! lieved, however, that the two elevens could meet In lft'tl. '1 see no objection to playing Iowa," Rockne said. "Our relations always have been pleasant We would have I been glad to hold a dnte open for them had we any hint that the Big Ten would refuse reinstatement." Sixteen games have been listed for Army's basketball team this season. Contests will be played against Colum-bia, Pennsylvania and I'rlnceton of the Eastern Intercollegiate league, and against Harvard, Colgate, Ohio State and Pittsburgh as well. Coach Io Novak will form his team from a squad that Includes Cnpt. Hutchinson, Malloy, Strother, MesRln-ger- , Krueger, Wood, McCoy, Blanning, Mansfield, Hoy, Abell, Besson and Fornsworth. "A great change has come over foot-ball," says an editorial In the Harva-rd- Yale official program magazine. "The slave driving conch is practical-ly only a memory. The players are actually getting fun out of playing football. We know they are at Har-vard, where practice has been short-- , ened, where there Is no high pressure driving of boys or no attempt to dodge the fact that a boy Is entitled to the same courteous attention from coach that he Is from professor or Instruc-tor." One of the most remarkable rec-ords In football history came to an end with the Kutgers-N- . Y. D, gnme when Bernie Crowl, captain and center of the Scarlet team, concluded his career. The Rutgers' captain had played forty-tw- o successive football games with only forty seconds of suh- - stltutlon. He had completed thirty- - seven without being relieved up to the Catholic university tilt, when Coach Harry Rockafellnr removed him In or-der to give Knrkakos, a substitute guard, varsity experience for next year. However, the tide turned against the Scarlet In the Intervening forty seconds before the first half ended, and Crowl was sent back at the open-ing of the third period. Boys who accept financial aid In re-turn for services as college athletes are "false to the ethics of sportsman-ship," declared Dr. Howard Savage, of the Carnegie foundation's recent sensntionnl report on recruiting and subsidizing, in an article In Sportsmanship. College conches and directors who induce them to do so are charged with "teaching young men dishonestly." "For the abuses of recruiting and subsidizing which beset our college and school athletics the code of the sportsmanship brotherhood," Doctor Savage says, "suggests a powerful an-tidote: 'Keep faith in your comrade.'" It has been estimated that because of encouragement given football stars to go through collece that 10.01)0 hovs avail themselves of the opportunity, where otherwise not one of them might ever get beyond the grade or high schools. Baseball, In the opinion of Jack Coombs, old-tim- pitcher with the A's. also encourages hoys to at-tend college. He says: "In recent yenrs the major league clubs have come to depend consider-ably on the baseball star developed in the colleges. The young fellows know this and feel that college base-ball experience is helpful In getting big league Johs. So they're coming to college In Increasing numbers, without any great encouragement excepting that they know they have s good op-portunity of getting up In professional baseball after their schooling Is com-pleted." Basketball, Introduced In Portugal In 1927, hns made great strides. Twenty-fou-r teams are playing a regular schedule. Others are being or-ganized. The main mutches are played on Sunday before Inrge crowds. Competition in the gnme Is so kpen that a team is In training for the Eu-ropean championship contests. The Portuguese are confident of winning since some of their players learned the game In America and figured In importnnt contests In the United States, Art Shires of the Chicago White Sox apparently thinks he Is the great-- j est hnil player living and does not ' hesitate to advertise that fact. It Is said he refers to himself as "The Great Shires." and that's the renson mc ucnMipn loin line mui pnrnse when writing about him. In an early game this yenr, Chicago had men on bases with two out when Shires came to the plate to face a rookie hurier. Turning to the umpire be said: "If this rookie gets me out he's wade," In another gnme Shires wns pain-fully spiked and while lying on the diamond wns told thnt he must leave the game for a substitute. .

D, LL D. tt ". ............ ,.,..f The Secret of the Thyroid yilB endocrine gland best under- - stood Is the thyroid (shieldlike) astride our Adam's apple. It varies Indivldunlly and with age. It la rela-tively largest In fetul life. At btrth Its welKht In proportion to the entire hody Is as 1 to 300, by the third week 1 to l.KiO, and In the adult as t to 1,8(10. It i gcnernlly larger In women than In men. Why this Is so la not yet known. The thyroid uanally consists of two equally developed lobes two Inches long, an Inch and a quarter broad. They vary greatly; one lobe may be much iarger tlmn the other, or may be quite absenf. Generally the two lobes are connected by an Isthmus; this also varies In position or may be absent. There (nay be accessory thyroids down the trachea ns far as the heart. Only In higher fishes does the .thy-roid become a ductless gland, take on new functions, and start new ca-reer. In man, a duct Is sometimes found In the Isthmus vestige of a condition found In lowest fishes, echo of millions of yenrs ago. It Is prone to trouble. Children with deficient thyroids, through removal, atrophy, or Injury, become heavy-feature- gibbering, Idiotic dwarfs known as cretins; they do not metamorphose Into normal adults. These appulling results In both chil-dren and adults have been corrected by feeding thyroid extract Knlurgement of the thyroid from whatsoever cause Is called goiter, or Derbyshire reck. But an d or over-artlv- e thyroid produces a definite dlaeuse known as toxic or exophthalmic goiter, or Graves' dla-euse. This is characterized by In-creased metaholisin and blood pres-sure, rapid pulse, lax and moist skin, nervousness, and protruding eyeballs hence the name, "exophthulmlc." The remedy Is still In the bands of the surgeon. It Is believed that the activating principle of the thyroid hormone la thyroxin, lsolnted by Kendall In 1018. Thyroxin Is a crystalline compound of three molecules of Iodine fixed In a protein derivative: propionic acid, or 05 per cent of Iodine. Only the thyroid secretes thyroxin, and apparently It is the Iodine in thy-roxin that tells the story. Iodine a found In many seaweeds; Is three times more abundant In codfish than In human beings; Is found In traces In milk and In drinking water; and gets its name from Its violet (lodes) color 1 Possibly no life exists without Io-dine. Certainly normal human life Is Impossible without one of a grain of thyroxin a day. Three and a half grains of thyroxin are all that stands between Intelligence and JUI1IKCUJI.Y. The adrennls, or suprarenals, get their name lroro their position Jnst above the kidneys. Normally they are of the size and shape of a large bean. But they vary: one or, In rare cases, both may be absent; there may be ac-cessory adrenals varying In size from a pin head to a large pea. Removal of both glands Is fatal, often within a few hours. When death does not fol-low their removal it Is because ac-cessory adrenals are present and can function. Adrenln Is a powerful drug and a powerful cardlo-vascul- stimulant. Normally our blood contains abont eight nlllfgrams of It, wlilcb means that the proportion of adrenln to ar-terial blood is one part to a billion. It Influences some tissues when di-luted to one part in lOO.OUO.OOO. It de-presses the Intestinal canal when di-luted to one part In 880,000,0001 Large doses are fatal. Adrenln Is a drug, one of the most potent our body concocts. Yet adrenal feeding leads to no known or proved results. The administration of the drug adrenalin does lead to profound re-sults. Our body blood contains this drug. Whether it is mnde by or ex-creted by the adrennls Is still an open question, hut that adrenln has specific action on the vascular system, the nervous system, the blood, the ali-mentary canal, and on sugar mobiliza-tion, there If no doubt. Nor Is there any doubt thnt when administered as a drug It Increases the action of local anesthetics by constricting the blood vessels, thus preventing local loss of the anesthetic. And as this reduces the amount of anesthetic required. It also reduces the amount of toxin dan-ger from the anesthetic. It checks hemorrhages. It allays the spasms of acute bronchial asthma. It also stimu-lates weak hearts and fortifies the hearts of tlv old and Infirm against the shock of operation. In short, adrenalin exerts an Influ-ence upon ail smooth muscle ener-vated by flhera of the autonomic nerv-ous system. Thnt mukes Its respon-sibility enormous. Its Influence on nu-llum destiny second to none. Iff) by George A. Doraey.

Chases Football by Day, Billiard Ball at Night Besides being captain of the Ford-ha-university football team and the greatest defensive center In eastern football, Tony Slano manages a bil-liard room in a recreation hull at Fordham to earn money to support himself while In school and his mother and four brothers and sisters at home In Walthain, Mass. And since Tony Is one of the most popular students the New York city school has known, his billiard room Is a great hangout for the hoys. The reason Slnno rates so highly as a defensive player is because of his ability to diagnose plays, according to MaJ. Frank Cavannugh, his couch. Like the boxer who watches his op-ponent's feet, the Fordham captain watches carefully every back on the opposing team for a give-awa- y move-ment Invarlnbly Tony detects the back who moves a foot, turns tils head, and for that man alone he plays. Consequently, when the luckless half-back Is given the ball he finds Tony Slnno In his path and the Fordham captain Is one swell tackier. ' Major Cavanaugh says he can connt on one hand all the times Sluno has missed a tackle this season. He's like the Royal Northwest Mounted In that he always gets his man. A career In law is Tony's aim, and after gradu-ation he plans to coach to earn money for a course In law school.

Science Has Developed New Sport for Winter A new national sport has developed for the sport loving American people. Not exactly a new sport, either, this Ice hockey. In Canada and a few northern sections. It has been popular for years. But unreliable weather re-stricted its Interest and only since 1925 has It assumed epidemic propor-tions, spreading over the country with a rush that hns carried It even Into Oklahoma and Texas. It Is science thnt has made this new winter sport nationally popular by perfecting a method of freezing a perfect, broad sheet of Ice Indoors In any climate, points out Grover Thcls, writing in the Farm Journal. A ten-tea- league made up of clubs In the larger Amerlcon and Canadian cities now plays a regular schedule of three games a week before crowds of from 10,000 to 20,000.
