Rowaitop. According to Captain David B. Booker. well known oyster growor. there hasn't been a set worthy of the name since 1014. He says. however, that there is no reason why the Rowayton river should not boast a good set every year. This necessi- tates perfect conditions. however. as to ground bedding. weather and water. So far as is known. no other un- usual sets have been discovered in the harbor. This possibly is due to the fact that the oyster season has badly opened yet. and few of the oystermen have been out. Representatives of the state pollu- tion commission one still making visits to the harbor. The o¥ster~ growers do not expect to receive their clearance permits. that is. the certificates of good he lthy oyster beds ellon'ed them by r. Stanley Osborne of the state Depertmefi of Health until after the beginning of the month. No unusual trouble. such as was experienced last year. is an- ticlpated.

Too Much “Verboten” New German Official BERLIN.

Germany has a million ordinanc- es too many. Secretary Abregg bo- iievos. Another nuisance, the secretary says. is the multiplicity of bureau- cratic factotums authorized to en- force the various ordinances. Prus- sia alone has 15.000 such petty of- ficials. Many ordinances. especially those involving traffic regulations. date back a century.

It may not make much difference for the Thundering Herd mny be able to defeat the strong nnd the week with the same faclllly. But then again-they may not. And that's where the trouble comes. U. S.

Stanford and California will millil- thlngs hard for the Thundering- Herd but no one can believe that Washington State, Montana. IdfiIIO California teams can cause much trouble.

California with the weakest clown ln\sevsral seasons perhaps has the most dldlcuit schedule. The Bears have five conference. games four of which come in a row. Coach “Nibs” Price must face U. S.

Then too California meets St. Mary's and the Olympic club. It might be noted ihat California is the only conference schooitaking on st. Mary’s. this year. The Saints are al- weye strong and U. s.
