no law to get the fellow who inva-
riably comedies himself two-foot puts?
Is there nothing that can be done
about the lady golfer who insists that
she has read somewhere that there Is
a rule which allows her ten full min
utes to find a lost balh and who
spends twenty minutes per hole look
ing for same, refusing the meanwhile
to allow the army which has accumu-
lated behind her to go through? And
what about the man who consistently
slices his drive into the woods. and
then berates and finally dismisses his
caddy without pay for not finding it?
If the law is to be applied to the
golf course, many golfers will feel a
satisfying thrill as the time for re
venge grows near. But we must pro-
ceed with care. The jails are already
crowded, the court dockets are sadly
congested as it is.

EVERYDAY RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REY. JAMES E. FREEMAN. D. d., IL. D.,
Bishop of Washington

more sensitive than in those things
that concern our religious faith and
practice. To have our religious con-
Victions so confirmed and fixed that
they are not subject to change by rea-
son of the passing opinions of the
hour is a condition that seems in our
generation to be altogether rare.
Over against the above statement
from the physician, we have recently
read in a most interesting and sug-
gestive book from the pen of Louis
Howland, editor of the Indianapolis
News, the story of his own religious
faith. 1T is the expression of a man
of mature judgment, of wide reading
and extended observation, who, as he
natures in life, finds his faith not inn
paired but day by day growing
stronger. He maintains that the great
transition periods that are constantly
being repeated in human experience
do not affect the stability of his faith.
He readily sees the increasing need in
our time for a deeper and firmer re-
iigiouS conviction. Recognizing as he
does what modern scholarship has
done to clarity, i'll a large way. the
ancient records of holy writ, he never
theless finds himself growing stronger
and firmer in his faith as the days
what Amiel once said, namely, "men
think that they can do without re-
ligion. They do not know that re-
ligion is indestructible and that the
question is. Which one will they
have?'. The staying power that we
need does not proceed from physical
and mateGal sources. Most of us
seem to think that we can get along
fairly we'll when the conditions of life
are altogether normal, but when the
crises come, when difficulties and
problems that seem unsolvable arise,
we are compelled to seek for our re.
freshment, our comfort and our peace
in that which satisfies the deeper
longings of the soul. At one time
In the ministry of Jesus when it Is
recorded that His disciples went away
from Him, He turned to them and
said VIII We also go away? Where
upon, one bolder than the rest an
swered. Lord, to whom shall we go?
Thou alone hast the words of eternal
life.' Prosperity, with all it's attend
ant luxuries. seems to have a tend.
ency to cause spiritual ennervation.
A clever journalist has recently said
that what we need just now is bit
Of adversely that will bring us once
again to our knees. Whether this be
true or not. one thing is certainly
evident, namely, that there must
come into the life of our time a deeper
recognition of those things that alone
satisfy the cravings of our spiritual
nature. Let US not become confused
or distracted by the passing events
of the day. The deeper peace which
we all seek and without which we
cannot live. proceeds from Him who
said, My peace / give unto you. not
as the world giveth, give unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither
let it be afraid"

The Fight Films.

AS one contemplates the reports of
what appears to be an almost nation
wide defiance of Federal law which
prohibits the transportation in inter-
state commerce of films depicting prize
fights one cannot but feel that here is
a situation, not resulting from the con-
spiracy of a few men to break the law,
but something infinitely more signifi-
cant. Washington is apparently one
of the few major cities of the Nation
to which the pictures of the recent
heavyweight championship bout in
Chicago have not been transported, and
wherever they have been shown large
crowds of normally law-abiding citi-
zens have comprised enthusiastic au-
diences without any apparent weight
of guilt upon their conscience. Why?
The two.fold answer is not difficult
to find. In the first place the public
undoubtedly feels that the sentiment
of the date when the Federal law in
question was put into effect--a senti-
ment which held that prize fighting
was an immoral and brutalizing sport
no longer exists. When spectacle
is attended by an impressive host of
figures Of both sexes high in the polit-
ical, financial, business and social life
of the Nation, when great cities vie
with each other for the privilege of
staging that spectacle; when the press
of the world combines in the enterprise
by building and catering to tremen-
dous popular interest therein; 1t is a
difficult matter to persuade your av-
erage man or woman of the immo.
rality or essential brutality of that
sport.
In the second place the radio has
entered the field since the day when
the law in question came upon the
statute books. It was bad enough. i'm
the opinion OF the ever-iucreasing
army of those to whom champion
ship fight cleanly conducted between
two superb physical specimens Is a
thing of thrill and even of beauty, to
be told that one could read all about it,
but that to transport Aim for reproduc-
ton on the screen is a misdemeanor.
But to hear the story of that fight
from the ringside, to hear the clamor
OF the bell, the count of the referee,
the roar of the crowd, the vivid, tense,
breath-taking blow-by-blow report of
an announcer whose voice almost
makes one see. and then to be told
that the infinitely less realistic pic
lures of the fight may not be seen
without an offense against society, is.
to many. preposterous absurdity.
1t is in the belief that the position
of the public in this superficialiy minor
but basically important matter Is just
and reasonable that The Star suggests
revision OF the fight-film transporta.
ton law at the next session of Con.
gress.

CONGRATULATIONS to Mexico!

With an eioQuence born or the
fervor of patriotism and idealism a
youth from Mexico spoke from the
platform of the Washington Audi
torium Friday night, a stranger IN
q strange land, and though speaking
in a foreign tongue won round after
round of applause from a sympathetic
audience, which watched his triumph
over competitors selected from the
youth of other countries-the United
States. Canada, England and France.
In winning the second international
Oratorical Contest Senior Arturo Gar.
cia-Fermenti is to be congratulated.
and his fellow Mexicans may take a
real pride in his accomplishment. He
won over a selected field, for those
who delivered their orations in the
competition were themselves victors in
elimination contests so designed that
only the best could hope to win. 1t
was altogether a victorious night for
the visitors. Second prize was award
ed to NJ. Georges Guiot- t-Guillain of
France and third to Frederick p. Hot
son Of Canada. And while there is
natural regret on the part of her ceun'
trymen that the American contestant,
Miss Dorothy Carlson of Salt Lake
City, failed to repeat her success of
the national contest. the distribution
of iaurels last night added a real in.
ternational flavor which should go far
toward assuring the growth and the
popularity of this annual event. The
yearly National Oratorical Contests
have been accepted with enthusiasm
in the United States and every year
witnesses a greater interest in their
outcome and wider participation on
the part Of the young men and women
from whom the contestants are drawn.
The international contests, the first of
which was held here only last year.
are a natural development of the move.
nent which had its origin in the ma
tional contests q few years ago. So
far the international affairs have been
confined to the countries represented
Friday night. 1t is to be hoped that
next years contest will bring young
orators from other countries, and that
in time to come every part Of the
world will have distinct and patri.
otic interest in the outcome.

One Of the virtues of radio preach

respondence the hitherto latent
thought of many people. 1t seems tc
reveal more than anything we have
ever experienced the deeper thinking
of men and women. What they will
not say openly. they readily write
0ne striking characteristic of the many
letters that come to our desk is the
repeated expression that we are living
not only in an age that is singularly
attractive and colorful, but an age that
is characterized by widespread rest
lessness. Our life today is a more
strenuous one than that described by
the trenchant pen of Mr.. Roosevelt
While it has in it an appeal that is
we'll nigh irresistible, it Is also con
spicuously evident that there is feel
ing generally abroad that we are not
being satisfied, that there is something
lacking in our present system of liv'
ing. After all, life is not all external
show and a riot of color. The normal
man or woman demands something
more than that which satisfies the
esthetic. The wise man of old said

Fifty Years Ago

Fifty years ago the Khedive OF
Egypt offered to present to the United

where they remained until near the
end of the last century. One OF the
obelisks had been presented to Great
Britain and was in process OF transfer
to England when the companion
monument was offered to this coun-
try. In The Star of October 8, 1871
appears the following editorial relat'
ing, to the tender of the ancient SHAFT,
which now stands in Central Park,
New York City, and is known as
Cleopatra's Needle;

which now stands solitary and alone
near the railway station Of Ramtet, at
Alexandria, its companion having
been accepted by England. and pro
vision made for it's transportation
thither by a public-spirited Scottish
gentleman. 1t Is further stated that
the enternrising contractors who are
now conveying the English obelisk to
its destination are prepared to agree
to bring the companion monolith
from Egypt to America, and to erect
it in any site which may be selected
for it, at price not exceeding
100000, the whole risk Of the enter
prise being taken by them against q
deposit of the sum agreed upon In
the hands of some leading American
banker.
Though the World speaks Of the
contemplated gift as one to be made
to the city of New York, 1t would
seem more probable that the Khedtve
has in view its presentation to the
country and not to any particular
city, and in that case 1t should come
to the National Capital. No doubt
Congress would appropriate the
money requisite to secure this superb
historic monument"

The Fair of the Iron Horse.

-
Washingtonians-of high and low
estate, cabinet officers, diplomats, Gov
ernment officials, business and civic
leaders, the man with his family and
large groups of school children-have
enjoyed a real treat during the last
three weeks, which brought them face
to face with realization Of the tre'
mendous progress of this country dur
ing the last century. The Fair of the
Iron Horse, presented free to the peo-
pie by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
in commemoration of the centenary
of that great railroad. was historically
correct in the minutest detail. educa-
tive, and visualized the development
of transportation, which, more than
any other agency, has built UP our
great country. =...
There was strictly no commercial
ism or advertising Of the usual sort
in this big exposition. The Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad spent largely upon a
show to which admission was free to
every one. 1t invited all of the
other railroads and steamship COM
panies to share in making the picture
of transportation progress complete
But it did win a tremendous tide of
that intangible asset, Good will, "
which is the best ally of any business.
Washington had a special interest
in the Fair of the Iron Horse, because
it was the building Of the seat OF Gov
ernment at Washington that threat
ened to take away from Baltimore its
prestige as a shipping center, and that
caused some half dozen leaders Of that
century ago. headed by Charles Car
roll, to devise in desperation something
spectacularly new in the way Of trans
portation to keep attention upon Bal
timore. The decision to establish a
railroad was epochal. and the very
