NEW YORK. March 5.--With the
six State universities which withdrew
from the Missouri Valley Conference
deciding to revive base ball as major
intercollegiate sport the case Of the
amateur side OF the national game may
take on new life.
Meanwhile. testimony as to the dis
favor into which intercollegiate base
ball has fallen In the Middle West has
by no means failed. IS for instance
the statement OF Rev. william M.
Magee, S. j., the new president OF Mar
quette University, that he does not be-
lieve In the game as college sport, at
least in the Middle West.
Coming from the head Of a great
Roman Catholic institution. an opinion
OF the sort may be regarded as extraor-
binary, for Of all places base ball has
found It's stronghold In the Catholic
colleges Not only has this been mani
tested in the enthusiasm OF students
and alumni for the game, but in the
proficiency of teams and OF players In
dividually.
lncIines to Track.
Father Mage inclines much more
strongly TO track The short season.
the uncertainty OF the weather and the
late start all mitigate. he says. against
the playing of base ball as 1t should
De played, whereas track and field are
much more practicable for Springtime
activity
Foot ball. he recognizes. Is the finan-
cial provider and he would use the
funds derived therefrom for the in
creased expansion of track, notably the
erection of a field house. rather than
spend any appreciable amount OF money
upon base ball
Marouette's attitude on base ball may
find echo in the colleges OF the Middle
West. but certainly there will be no
sympathy expressed at Holy Cross. Bos-
ton College. Fordham. Georgetown.
Villanova. Catholic University and other
Eastern Catholic seats OF learning.
Not Due to Weather.
One fancics that 1t is not so much
because of better weather conditions in
the East. If the average Spring in the
neighborhood Of Milwaukee Is any more
capricious than In New York or New
England 1t must be discouraging in
deed. Basket ball enthusiasm and
growing interest in track and in golf
will no doubt explain the conditions of
affairs with respect to the diamond
sport in the midlands.
What the Big Six will be able to ac-
complish out in the Missouri Valley re-
mains to be seen. They may go In for
the game in perfunctory fashion and
thus get nowhere. Or they may sue
coed through wholehearted effort In
whipping up new enthusiasm for the
most graceful and engaging of all
sports.
Navy May Take Jaunt.
II would not be at all surprising were
the Navy to meet Stanford next New
Years day at Palo Alta In a game
which will De a rival attraction to
the tournament or rose feature at rasa-
dena on that day
That Stanford will play some good
northern eleven at Palo Alta on this
holiday seems to oe toregone. It is,
of course. somewhat doubtful that the
midshipmen will be the opponent. al
though in this Connection Il might be
mentioned that the Wilbur brothers
are respectively president 0 Stanford
and Secretary OF the Navy.

Four Billion Imported
Eggs For Britain Every Year

London, England, March IA auto
caster)-Great Britain's breakfast
egg bill mounts up pretty high, the
citizens of that country consuming
5,7O0,0OO,O0O eggs a year. Native
fowls only supply two billion of these.
The sum of money spent by Britain
for eggs imported from outside the
British Empire, which constitute for
ty-seven per cnet of Britain's impor-
tations of this article of food, ex-
ceeds the value of all the motor cars
motorcycles, cycle and rubber tires
which Britain exports.
The imperial economic council wants
something done about it. English hens
laid 72 eggs in the pre-war period ia
their present 10000, but the eggs are
smaller at present.

"Hinkman in Life Size", and people
were really paying monev to see him.
80 now l suppose prune peddlers are
travelling all over the country showing
Hickman in Life Size. Who wouldn't
like to be Hickman? What is the
use of being Lindbergh, or Lincoln,

Cement Co. here were each rewarded
with a button the other day, with
privilege to wear same. This won.
derful gift was only given to those
who had not met with any accident

given to prevent workers from getting
into the habit of breaking their arms
and otherwise getting hurt just fol-
pastime and the fun of it. Funny they
did not think of handing out buttons
like that during the war.

When people think of California.
most of them think of the wonderful
palm trees. Lots of them think Mon
tana would be a much better place to
live if they only had palm trees. There
is no reason why Montana could not
have them. Plentywood could have
the most wonderful grove of palm
trees, if the Commercial Club or some
one else would go to work and tie an
armful of bullrushes, or slough hay
or bio Russian thistle to the top of
each telephone pole in town. Nobody
would be able to tell but what it was
the real thing and it would be a fine
place for the sparrows to build nests
IN. That's all palm trees are good
for anyway.
California is bone dry, just like
Montana. They tell me the water is
good here but don't drink it. I have
wine served with my meals-don't
that make your teeth water? The
wine is not Intoxicating of course. If
it was people here would not drink
Tin that respect they are just like
the people of Montana.
California is mostly big hills with
a few valleys in between. In order to

They assert that the metal is by nature
dull. with soft and mellow quality.
Those who prefer the shining gleam
OF pewter assert with equal force that,
since the metal will take on a bright
tone when polished like silver, 1t should
be kept bright and shining. just as sill
yer should be. that there Is no reason
to consider the metal inherently dull
when it takes the polish so readily.
Each side has its talking points. The
question then remains for each person
TO answer for himself. and according to
preferences. for there is sanction for
each point of view
Granting all this. there remains the
matter of artistic charm and when this
is the criterion. the balance seems to be
in favor of the dull finish This does
not mean that pewter should be given
little care. but that the care should be
to preserve the right degree of softness.
never TO permit it to get the CLINT of
bright silver and never to let it look
neglected.
To clean pewter so that it keeps this
desirable quality 1t should be washed
thoroughly in hot, soapy water. After
il is dried with soft towel it should
be rubbed down with chamois skin. A
good substitute for chamois skin is cam
ton flannel. Incidentally. 1t may be
mentioned that canton flannel makes
wonderful towels to dry silver. as it pol
ishes while 1t dries the metal It will
be seen that the care of pewter when
it is not polished is far less than the
care of silver that necessitatcs con-
tinual polishing to keep it looking best.
Those who buy new pewter find it
generally comes with the silver finish
not any hard tone. but the soft gray
polish often given silver. This can be
preserved. but. as has been seen. it Is
not considered more desirable than the
less lustrous finish that it gradually
acquires. 1t takes the genuine con-
noisseur to insist on the patina remain
ing; and as this comes on antique
pewter only. such us is unearthed in
excavations or has remained out of
use for long years. centuries even. it Is
the sort that is priced for collectors
possessions rather than owned for actual
service. Just now service pewter is en-
Toying great vogue. vying with silver |
in some Instances. though it Is not in |
trinsically a precious metal.
