He had made two baskets In the first half, but, after receiving this charm, he was held scoreless and finally threw the foot away after one toss went into the hoop and bounced out.
 Gottowalla played a magnificent defensive game. going in during the last half and holding the speedy Darlington pointless for the remain der of the game.

Coolidge Declares People
Must Sacrifice for Rewards
President, in Radio address, Says Wash
ingtor's Ideals Call Upo', Nation for
Service and Responsibility. -

Tor enactment OF sound legislation,
for the administration of even
handed justice, for the faithful eX-
ecution of the laws, no institutions
have ever given greater promise
Or more worthy performance than
those which are represented by
the name of Washington. We
have changed our Constitution and
laws to meet changing conditions
and a better appreciation of the
broad requirements of humanity.
We have extended and increased
the direct power of the voter. But
the central idea of self-government
remains unchanged.
while we realize that freedom
and independence of the individual
mean increased responsibility for
the Individual; while We know that
the people do and must support the
government. and that the govern
ment does not and cannot support
the people, yet the protection of
the individual from the power now
represented by organized numbers
and consolidated wealth requires
many activities on the part of the
government which were not need
ed in the days of Washington.
Many laws are necessary for this
purpose, both in the name of jus
tice and Of humanity. Efforts in
this direction are not for the pur-
pose of undermining the independ-
ence of the Individual. but for the
purpose Of main tanning for him an
equal opportunity. They are made
on the theory that each Individual
is entitled To live his own life in
his own way. free from every kind
OF tyranny and oppression.
Goal Not Yet Reached.
we have not yet reached the
- IA
are not yet fully understood. He
was a practical man. He suffered
from no delusions. He knew that
there was no power to establish q
system under which existence
could be supported without effort.
Those who now expect anything
in that direction are certain to be
disappointed. He held out no prom
ise of uneaIned rewards. either in
small or large amounts. On the
other hand, If no one ought to re-
ceive gain except for service rem
dered. no one ought to be required
to render service except for reason
able compensation. Equality and
justice both require that there should
be- no profiteeying and no exploitA-
ton. Under the Constitution of the
United States there is neither any
peasantry nor any order of nobility
Politically, economically and socially,
service and character are To reign,
and service and character alone
Such is the meaning OF the life
of George Washington. who came
into being nearly 200 years ago. He
left the world stronger and better
He made life broader and sweeter.
He accomplished these results by ac-
ceptinS great responsibilities and
making great sacrifices. If we are
to maintain the institutions which
he founded. If We are to improve
what he created, We must be like
minded with him, we must continue
to accept responsibilities We must
continue to make sacrifices Under
all the laws of God and man there
is no other way.

CITY HEADS FAVOR
PARK Commission
Return Bill Creating Body to
Senator Ball With Favor
able Report.

The Commissioners today transmit
ted to Senator Ball a favorable re-
port on a bill TO create a National
Capital Park Commission, to pro-
vide for comprehensive develop
ment of the park and playgronnd~ sys-
TENS of the city.
In view OF the fact that the Rock
Creek and Potomac Parkway COM
mission already is in existence and
performing a large part of the park
development work. it has been de-
cided to let this commission form the
nucleus of the new body by merely
changing its name and adding more
members. This is being done at the
suggestion of the budget bureau.
which pointed out that there is a
tendency against increasing the num-
Der Of governmental commissions.
AS amended and indorSed by the
Commissioners the proposed board
of War, Secretary of the Treasury,
the Secretary of Agriculture, the
chairmen of the committees on public
buildings and grounds of the Senate
and House and the Engineer Com
missioner of the District. The officer
in charge of public buildings and
grounds, now Col. c. o. Sheriff., is
made executive and disbursing officer
of the new commission.
AbsOrbs Present Body.
From and after the passage of this
act" reads the bill, "the said COM
mission shall be known as the Ma
tional Capital Park Commission.
hereinafter referred to as the COM
mission. and it is hereby vested with
and shall assume and exercise all
the powers. obligations and functions
conferred upon the said Rock creek
and Jotomac Park commission by
said act approved March 4. 1918, and
all subsequent acts and court pro-
ceedings.
In sending the measure to Senator
Ball the Commissioners said they are
heartily in favor of its enactment
and added:
1t is believed that the
need for the acquisition of additional
park and playground areas is urgent.
Such areas must and will be provid-
ed eventually, and it is in the in
terestS Of economy to make the nee
eSSary purchases while the land is
unimproved. Moreover, some of the
areas desired will be lost forever un-
less obtained soon.

Mr.. Harkness said, however. that
some politicians would make a mis-
take il they talked over the radio at

to an invisible audience. he pointed
out, cannot cover UP weak arguments

badly by radio.
