challenger of Steam is none other
than King Oil. Even under boil
ers. oil is 1919 cheaper to use than
coal: 2 tons Of oil have the calor-
tfic power Of three tons Of coal.
Furthermore. the burning Of oil is
cleaner and cooler, and it ia labor
saving.
j. The case in favor Of oil was i'm
measurably strengthened by the
mOtOrshtp's arrival. The advocate
of the motorship rests his brief on
three vital points:
The motorship saves cargo space
because it needs about one-fifth as
much fuel space as q coal steamer
OF the same power. Oil. moreover,
can be carried in spaces that on q
coal steamer are useless-in bal
last tanks and in double bottoms.
The motorship cuts down delays.

A young coed at the University
of Chicago, where Leopold was Il
post graduate law student, and Loeb
a postgraduate student in history,
revealed last night that on several
occasions since the kidnapping and
Staying Leopold had joked with her
about the matter.
Once, she said, she had told Leo
pold that it would be Il good joke
for him to confess the crime and
for her to claim the 100000 reward
then offered. He agreed it would be
a huge joke, she said.
Confessions Agree
All portions of the confession by
Loeb and Leopold agree, said Pros

TO ESTABLISH
PRESBYTERIAN
CENTER
Should Have Center in Wash
ingtOn to Further Pres
byterian Projects

Grand Rapids, June 2.--Thc estab-
lIshment OF an adequate Presbyter-
ian center in Washington through
the agency of the Presbyterian Ma
tional Capital Commission is one of
the projects furthered in the report
Of the general council as presented
to the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly,.
Affixed to the councils report is
a detailed statement by DR.. George
b. Stewart of Auburn, New York,
chairman of the commission, who
holds that "the Presbyterian church
can no longer afford to lag behind
other denominations in building upon
the forces and institutions of re!ig-
ion in the capital of our nation
which is so rapidly becoming the
capital of the world
One of the suggestions considered
by the commission is the proposal
for a great General Assembly church
in Washington, in line with the plan
outlined 20 years ago by Justice Har-
Ian and Dr.. Wallace Radcliffe for
construction of a Presbyterion "cath-
Cdral." DR.. Stewards commission
holds that such church should be
conspicuously located and courag-
eously and generously financed as a
monument to the zeal, libcrality
foresight and faith of the Presbyter-
ian church.
The commission offers as another
suggestion plan that the Pres
byterian church should have in
Washington a Presbyterian build
ing worthy of denomination, which
would suitably house the various
board of the church and provide ac-
commodations for local Presbyterian
organizations and for tn, multitude
Of Presbyterian visitors to Washing
ton. 1t urges full consideration Of
the desirability of this building con-
tanning an assembly hall suitable for
the meetings Of the General Assem-
bly,.
Still another plan outlined by the
commission is an educational rlo-
gram, involving a great center for
religious education which would JUS
tify the union of some of the Pres
byterian theological seminaries and
training schools and establishing a
national school of religion, endowed
with gifts of millions.

which led to their confession, the
family chauffeur spelling an other
wise perfect aibi by informing the
states attorney that the automobile
was out of order and could not have
been used for Joy riding" at the
time claimed by both youths. When
faced with that young Loeb broke
down and confessed, his action soon
to be followed by Leopold.
IL was reported that the boys,
friends throughout their most I'M
usual college career, had broken
and each was reviling the other for
breaking under questioning. 1t also
was said that they nearly came TO
blows when brought together in the
prosecutor $ office for the first time
since their arrest.

California clipper" she was built
at East Boston. Mass. by Donald
Mckay, the naval architect of
many famous ships, including the
Lightning and the Flying Cloud.
In 1859 the Sovereign of the Seas
sailed from Honolulu to San Fran
cisco in eleven days-an average
daily run Of 435 miles. BY the
same reckoning, she would have
arrived at Queenstown In seven
days and nine hours.
Americas Great Stake
With the California clippers. the
American merchant marine attain
ed its apex. 1t ceased to exist In
any degree after 1860.
But a challenge is echoed to-day
in 4 new quarter. The latest con-
tender against Steam is the motor
ship, and America has q tremend-
Gus interest at stake. '
Not satisfied that her natural
supremacy would sustain her, Eng
lands greyhound steamers tracked
down the most important and
strategic coaling stations In the
world. They were followed by
others which carried British coal
on the out-voyage and came back
laden, with goods. America had
no such economical arrangement:
her vessels frequently returned
empty handed. ~
The. story can be summed up by
a comparison. In 1916 the United
States, with the high water mark
OF q million tons of shipping,
threatened. to rob England of her
traditional lead. In 1919 the.
United States, still in second place,
had only 1920 as much tonnage a.

steam could be successfully har-
messed to conquer its own element.
American shipbuilders were not
slow TO act. In 1850 Edward X.
Collins. owner of the Dramatic line
of packets. built with the aid of
Congress four fine steamers, named
the Atlantic. Pacific. Baltic and
Arctic. Any OF them could make
the trip from Sandy Hook to Fast
net Rock in nine to ten days-a
day faster than the time advertised
t"r the Cunarders of that period.
Eut the Arctic and the Pacific were
lost at sea: Congress withdrew its
support: the venture was a failure.

We're not soon forgotten on, the
seven seas. While the American
packet-ships were grudgingly yield

Yankee ships were gaining the as
cendancy in the Far East. Trade

last century was new issue for
Americans. The tea trade. in par
