OLYMPIA FIELDS COURSE
''HARDER THAN OAKMONT''

not off his game, he points to recent
score of 65 on his home course at At
lanta.
No one of the contestants has charged
that the course is unfair, as they did
against Oakmont, where all the traps
were ridged so deeply that an errant
ball was all but buried. And that 1t can
be played in figures at least close to
par has been demonstrated by the de-
Tending champion. for Armour has twice
played the links In 70, as against par
35-36--7l. AS a matter of fact, on
strict yardage the par would be 49, Leo
Giegel also scored 70 in his first
round.
Bill Mehlhorn. Henry Ciuci, Archie
Compston, British star, and Aubrey
Boomer of France have tailed 70, and
the general opinion remains that the
winner will have to score close to 900.
II that should prove true, the course
will appear more difficult than st.
Andrews, where Jones set record Of
285 for the British open last year. At
Oakmont last year, Armour and Cooper
tied at SOL. while two years ago Jones
won at Scioto, where the rough was
anathema, with 293.

The specific proposals of Senator
 Howell in connection with the appro-
 priation bill, and which he will renew
 when the proposed investigation gets
 under way, are that the Government discontinue the operation of 39-mile stretch of narrow gauge which runs from Fairbanks northwest to Chatani- ka and also IA miles of road at the southern end from Seward to Anchor age.
 The 39 mile stretch, according to his contention, is operated solely for the convenience of the Untitled States Smelling Refining and Mining Co.,, a Boston corporation, which he says made net profit in it's various activi- ties last year of s4,OOo,O0o This com pany should operate the line itself, Senator Howell asserts.
 The lower end of the road from Sew ard portion on the Gulf of Alaska, to Anchorage, is not necessary, he says, because of the fact that Anch- orage, which Is on Cook Inlet, furnish es suitable harbor for ocean vessels. Senator Howell also thinks that the section from Nenana to Fairbanks, a of 56 miles, eventually should be abandoned

tCOuLiuuGu rom rage OuGJ Col Richardson raised the question as to whether the United States, by it's purchase of Alaska, from Russia for $7,200,000 obtained as much of a bargain as has been supposed when 1t is considered that the Government has since that time expended $200,- 100000 on the Territory without any return comparable to that in connec- ton with the Louisiana Purchase which cost $27,OOO,OOO and now sup ports 21,OOO,OOO people with an estim ated wealth of more than $60,000,000
 The Richardson article has attracted wide attention and has been discuss ed pro and con in debates in Congress.
 Alaska has it's defenders in both branches of Congress. Senator Willis (Rep.

.Jolson Features
Capitol Picture

The luckiest break of his life came
to AL Jolson some years ago while
playing a vaudeville engagement in
Brooklyn. The comedian was doing
a white-face act consisting Of patter,
stories and songs. He could win APP
plause, but that didn't satisfy him.
He wanted TO create laughter. oh, ii
he only could
Glum and dispirited he sat before
the mirror in his dressing room in
the Brooklyn theater one night while
the old darkey dresser vas laying out
his things. Looking up at the old
man, he sighed.
"Why can't / make them laugh? ?"
came from him like a moan.
"Hah," smiled back the old man.
''why don't you black up, Mr.. Al?"
There was still time TO apply the
burnt cork for that nights perform
anee. Nervously he faced the audi
ence. That night his act went like
the proverbial house afire.
Jolson's success has been laid TO
his personality, his dynamic energy
and his voice. This shows even on
the screen in Warner Bros produc-
tion Of "The Jazz Singer" in which
his charm is as potent as il is when
he faces an audience in person on the
legitimate stage. The screen has been
enriched by Jolson's appearance on
it. The picture is playing at the Cap
itol Wednesday and Thursday.
