The One nIfferenn.

Bishop Sanford Olmsted of Denver
is noted for his somewhat caustic wit.
A lady said to Bishop Olmsted at
a luncheon:
"As for these sacred concerts, so
called, I could never see, bishop,
wherein a sacred concert differed from
an ordinary concert"
"Oh my dear madam" said Bishop
olmsted in a shocked voice, 'there is
q distinct difference. A sacred con-
cert is always given on Sunday"

The state board of education of Mis-
soula, Mont, has accepted the gift of
Colonel A. A. White of st. Paul of
two islands in Flathead Lake, to be
set apart for all time as a haven for
wild birds. The donation was made
to the State university of Montana.
The islands will be under the jurisdic-
ton of the biological station operated
by the biology department. Colonel
White purchased the islands in 1915
when the government sold the land
known as the Flathead villa sites.

According to Russell Smith, Pacific
northwestern amateur golf champion,
only two courses in California are of
championship calibre or compare with
the courses in Oregon, Washington
and British Columbia. These are the
links at Monterey and the Ingleside
course of San Francisco. He makes
the following criticism of California
golf and golfers:
81 don't understand why they do
not have grass greens in southern
California. Los Angeles has as fine
lawns in the residence section as any
city in the country and yet the So
called greens" at the golf courses are
not green at all. They are merely cir
cles of sand, as hard almost as as
phalt pavement.
at is impossible to pitch a shot to
the green and stick. If you pitch and
happen to strike on the green the ball
bounds 20 feet into the air and far
beyond the green. Players in Los An
geles and environs use the run-up shot
exclusively. understand they are ex-
perimenting to some extent now with
grass, but none of them are being
used, so far as 1 can ascertain"

The University of Denver outlook
for a baseball team of championship
class depends, according to athletic au-
thorities at the school, a great deal
upon whether Peck, who broke his arm
in the last football season, will be able
to pitch. According to reports he is
rounding into shape and expects to be
on the mound in the opening game of
the season.
These players from last year have
returned: Mahoney, catcher; Queary,
first base; Barrett, second base; Clark,
third base; Jones, center field; Huling,
right field; Mclaughlin, left field.
Griffin, who caught for the UNIVERSE
ty of Colorado, is in the law school
of the University of Denver and is
eligible for the local club. He expects
to be out in uniform with the first
days of baseball weather.

NEWARK MAY GET
GIANT SHIPYARD
L. s. Steel Co. to Build Mer-
chant Fleet OH Meadows, ~
Is Report.

Wall Street heard yesterday that the
United States Steel Corporation has pur-
chased a big acreage on the Newark Bay
meadows. within striking distance of
deep water. and will erect Immediately
one OF the largest shlpyards in the world.
where standard 5000 and 10000 ton
steel ships will be constructed. probably
with the cooperation of the Government
Shipping Board. In addition. 1t was re-
ported. the construction of the new plant
was requested by the Government.
When Elbert II. Gary. chairman,o OF the
board of the United States Steel Cor
Doration. was questioned he admitted
that the corporation had recently pur-
chased large plot in the locality men,
toned. He neither affirmed nor denied
that n shipyard would be built or that
the construction of standard vessels
would begin as soon as the ways were
put down.
In other quarters it was said the Gov
ernment not only asked the Steel Cor
poration to build such a yard but that
the entire structural. fabricating and
plate plants of the American Bridge
Company. one Of the corporations largest
and busiest subsidiaries, be turned over
to the manufacture OF standardized units
which will be shipped to the yard and
there assembled.
In the opinion OF experts the equip
ment OF the biggest Of the American
Bridge Company plants making plates
and fabricated structural steel could be
quickly and easily changed to meet the
requirements Of ship building along these
lines and at an additional expense which
would probably be negligible.
Chairman Denman Of the Shipping
Board when told OF the rumor concern
ing the proposed yard said that he
hoped II was SO. but that he had not
been informed of the plan. He did re-
mark. however. that plans for a stand
ard type of ship have not yet been filed.
but that some $500 and 10000 ton ves-
sells have been contracted for.
Bankers and fnanciers pointed out
that the Government may cooperate with
the United States Steel Corporation In
the building of a large number OF ships.
and that part of the S3,3e0.946,3S1 ap-
preparation included in the shipping bill
could be used to advantage along these
lines.

THE American destroyers are playing

the American unit has taken up Its work.
The Americans are already thor

there is little TO be said to the public

He alleged that whole fleets of strips had

Tilett charged that as the result OF

He even declared that recently $4,000

When the Governments attention was
called to the matter the bacon was sold
