Oct. 3—Cor nell's junior varsity football team refused to be hindered by a heavy downpour this afternoon as it ran up a 19-0 victory over Penn State's little Lions.

Business On Increase College Survey Shows Business in all leading cities of the state showed substantial im provement during August over the same month a year ago, according to College business survey. "Measured by bank debits, fac tory payrolls, and independent store sales, gains ranged from 24 per cent at Scranton to 55 per cent at Erie," _the survey said. 'lndustrial activity for the state as a whole 'was up 33 per cent from that of last year, the figures show ed, arid a new all-time record for any month was set. With this gain, however, retail food costs and the cost of , living made a new high. since the begin ning of the depression. Food costs increased 11 per cent over a year ago in Philadelphia and 14 per cent in Pittsburgh.. The cost of living rose about 6 per cent over last August. • THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF STATE COLLEGE Member of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation We'll Still Stay Over Here If the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania were in Europe, it would be the richest prize of the continent and the cause of endless struggles among warring powers. This is the observation of Dean Edward Steidle of tha School of Mineral Industries. 'Calling attention to the recent British military expedition to Spitzbergen, Dean Steidle pointed out that the exports of coal from the Arctic island' previously amounted to about 600,000 tons yearly, the same amount that can be produced from Pennsylvania mines in one day. "While the British expedition was attempted in part for strategic reasons, the fact that such a small tonnage of fuel could be consid ered important shows the funda mental different between the pov erty of minerals in most European countries and our own great min eral wealth," he said. In spite of the increased con sumption of the state's minerals, caused by the war, the day of ulti mate depletion is still far away, he declared, and it may be post poned for many generations by the development of new methods for recovery and use. "The mineral resources of Penn sylvania are so commonly accepted as a part of• our daily life that their true value is not appreciated by even a small fraction of the people who are dependant upon them for a living," he added. "No single European country approaches the Commonwealth as producer and processor of minerals." Spitzbergen has had an irregular production of coal since the 1600's, when the mineral was discovered by whale hunters, he explained. Although this desolate area is within 800 miles of the north pole, the presence of coal was sufficient attraction to induce coal miners to settle there and form the most northerly organized settlement . cif human beings in the globe.
