BAAgyf Constellation
Rests on Germon Steel

BALTIMORE, Sept. 4 tRY.--A
group of patriotic Americans
probably will have to turn to
West Germany to preserve one
of this country's most historic
relics, the U. S. S. Constellation
Such a course appears to be
the only one left to the Con-
stellation commission which is
trying to get the old frigate
safely landlocked in a Fort
McHenry slip.
The Interior Department
Thursday turned down the
commissions bid to dredge a
Temporary slip at Fort McHenty
without piling and to complete
the historic shrine site later
when domestic piling is avail
able.
Reasons for Refusal Given
The commission has on hand
100000, half donated by the
city and half by the State, to
preserve the 158-year-old frigate,
oldest United States warship
still afloat.

The Federal agency said the
request for permission to build
a temporary berth was turned
down because estimated costs
are "far in excess of the funds
which we understood the COM
mission had available"
The commission has been
Ithwarted ever since the Constel-
lation was brought back to Bal

secure steel pilings from COM
|panies in this country. Short
ages of the product and the
commissions low priority have
been blamed for failure to get
the necessary steel.
Brought From Boston
Daniel H. Burkhardt, vice
chairman of the Constellation
Commission, was given the job
of finding the piling. He an
nounced earlier that it was
available Immediately from the
LARSON Co. in West Germany.
But the commission preferred to
use an American product, if

Prior to the luncheon guests

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

@. viii you please give us a
discussion on what is known as
the split infinitive"? / was
taught that it is a construction
to be avoided at all costs; but
how can one avoid the split in
such sentences as, I'VE expect to
more than double our attend
ance"?-Mrs. w. S.
A. First. for the benefit Of all
readers, let us see just what is
meant by "split inflnitive." An
infinitive is a verb that usually
is preceded by to-" as, to swim,
to walk, to dance. to go. The word
Ito" has been called the sign of
the infinitive.
Now, when an adverb is in
serted between ito" and the
verb, the infinitive is said to have
been split. These are split
inf1nitives: to expertly swim:
to/quickly/walk: to/gracefullyi
dance; to/hurriedly/go.
