AFRICAN STUDENTS
TO VISIT CAPITAL
Party of 40 Will Tour United
States During Month
of January.

Forty South African students, as
guests of the National Student Fedora
ton of America, will tour the United
States during January.
They will comprise the first student
group from that part of the world to
be officially received by the American
Student Union. Arriving on the s. S.
Adriatic on January 5, the party will
remain in New York for five days and
then go to Washington, Chicago, Ee-
troit. Buffalo, Montreal, Toronto and
Boston, and return to New York for
a second five-day period before sailing
February 2.
The South African party includes Is
girls and 13 men and two chaperons.
These young people, all of Dutch, Eng
liSh or French descent, represent seven
collegeS-RhodeS College at Grahams-
town, Grey College at Bloemfontein,
Natal University College at Durham,
Transval College at Pretoria, the Uni
versity of Stellenbosch. the University
of Cape Town and the University of
johannesburg.
They have been sent on the tour by
the National Union of Students in South
Africa, an organization similar to the
American Students Union. The pur-
pose of the tour is to introduce South
African students to the best of Ameri-
can college and home life and also to
show them something of the industrial
and civic life of America.
DR.. George E. MacLean, a vice presi-
dent of the Washington branch of the
English Speaking Union. was appointed
by the National Student Federation to
head and name committee to arrange
for the entertainment of the visitors
here. They will come to Washington
January 10 for a stay of four days.
Plans for their entertainment will be
announced later by DR.. MacLear.
Dr. MacLean was formerly director
of the American University Union of
Europe in its London Office, and in this
| way first became connected with the
organization which handles the ex-
change of groups of American and for
eign students on holiday and special
| tours.

Gothic Architecture.

The nearest thing to a Gothic ruin
that Manhattan has today is the shell
of the Riverside Church, which burned
the week before Christmas The stone
around the lofty, narrow window spaces
is blackened and broken, like the rem
nant of some shrine in Brittany.
Luckily those window spaces had not
yet been filled. Rumor has it that the
stained glass going into the 10 aisle
windows will be the closest modern ap-
proach to the glass that Is still the glory
of the Cathedral of Chartres, after seven
centuries.
The beauty of this church represents
the fulfllment of desire for DR.. Harry
Emerson Fosdick, its pastor-to-be, and
John D. Rockefeller, jr., Sunday school
teacher and heavy financial backer. It
does seem a shame that public knowl-
edge of the Rockefeller wealth modified
public sympathy in the case of this fire.
People read the news account OF the
$I,000,000 loss and said: That's too
bad, but there's plenty more money
where that came from"
If, following this fire, the trustees had
announced that the building project
would be abandoned and that the con-
gregation would remain in the present
small gem of Baptist Church on Park
avenue, that would have been news.

NEW YORK SKYLINES
Maj Bill Kennedy Sponsors New Athletic Club and Sees
Structure Completed.
(Written exclusively for The Star and the
North American Newspaper Alliance.)

(Written exclusively for The Star and the
North American Newspaper Alliance)
NEW YORK, December 29-No
equestrian statue in Central Park looks
more proud than handsome Bill Ken
nelly, the major as he draws rein on
the bride path and sits back like the
Napoleon of clubdom he is, his gaze
fixed in approval upon the fine build
ing which is the new home of the New
York Athletic Club. Bill often rides
a horse in the park.
He is president of the club and was
drafted to serve at time when club
finances were muddled. His first act
was to drop an architect then being
retained at $4,000 year, although no
new building was in sensible prospect.
His second act was to rally his forces
and finances for the erection of the
clubhouse soon to be occupied
1t seems odd that Maj. Kennedy
should be a prominent member of an
athletic club, let alone president, be-
cause he is an athlete. But an athlete
will slip into an athletic club once in
a while, and then who's going to put
him out? Kennedy was star athlete
of the old 7th Regiment, and as cap
tain of Company c, Goth, and then pro-
vost marshal of the Marseille area he
had a mean reputation for inflicting
setting-up exercises on doughboys. He
also was crack rifle shot of his regi-
ment.
Kennedy has Croix de Guerre, and
it was after French government agent
saw it on his wall that the major be-
came civilian auctioneer, got the job,
with a large commission, of auctionlng
off harbor-front property belonging to
France but located in Brooklyn. The
French had confidence in Bill. Wasn't
his ancestor private counselor to
Louis XVI?
Athletic art is rampant in the rem
A series of murals presents historical
popular in this club. They include
youth and maiden in the Greek mara
thon, Roman boxers in the arena, Per-
slams at polo, with mosque for back
ground; tennis before a Louis XIV
chateau, golf right outside of Windsor
Castle, American Indians discovered at
lacrosse by priest end soldier, and the
Dutch at game of bowls in that open
plot at Broadway's end, which now car
ries the name of Bowling Green.
Take 1t altogether, the interior of the
clubhouse is enough to make any phys
ically lazy man suffer. There are the
bar, of course, and the lounge, and 800
bedrooms, but they are Sandwiched in
among swimming pool, gymnasium,
tracks, hand ball courts, rooms for box
ing wrestling, freak stunts OF physical
torture and a roof promenade extensive
enough to permit an athlete to fly kite
from 1t.

Berlin BABY Dead.

1t happens that on December "a the
Skyliner had occasion to call up Irving
Berlin, writer of ballads. and mostly
happy ones and that at the end of
the talk wishes for merry Christmas
were exchanged.
The saddest thing that can happen
on Christmas day is the death of a little
child, and SO the sight of newspaper
headline stating that Mr.. Berlins baby
son had died then made that wish for
a bright holiday appear CHASTITY.
The newspapers also announced that
this brought together. in the tenderness
of grief, the song writer and his father
in-law, Clarence Maclay, this city's
leading patron of the great orchestral
music that is far removed from the pop
ular ditties of Berlin.
This news gratifies public unable to
understand how mind attuned to
Beethoven and the communication of
thought around the world can care
much about the issues of birth and be-
lief, which are beyond anybody's

have already been spent on the Lee
Highway from the Key Bridge to New

Carols Get Right of Way.
On the blackboard in the Paulist
Choir Hall are posted kilograms and
letters from men who used to be boy
sopranos there. They tell of sitting in
their homes, in Chicago, Philadelphia
and elsewhere on Christmas eve, and
with tender hearts hearing DR.. S.
ParkeS Cadman, great radio preacher,
announce the carols and the present
choir sing about the little town of
Bethlehem, under the same Father Finn
who trained their child voices to the
tonal purity of angels.
One of these senders of kilograms
went to Europe with the choir and sang
in cathedrals as solo soprano, but came
back an incipient baritone. That trip
was big experience, but no more ex-
citing than the wild ride of the present
boy choir on Christmas eve.
With motor cycle police and red fire
department car clearing the way with
siren, they shot out to Long Island
to sing carols from the gallery of the
minstrels in Nicholas F. Brady's castle
of a country house, which is probably
the finest place in the United States
for Christmas party. They returned
at equal speed, and broadcast from a
studio on Fifth Avenue. From there
the escort rush them to church. The
service began at midnight, and they
arrive 10 minutes before.
But to see those boys leaning from
the windows of their bus and haughtily
motioning the occupants of classy cars
to get out of the way was sight to
gladden. the eyes. Choir boys out sing
ing Christmas carols with a motor
cycle escort and red flre-car sounding
siren! Oh the times, oh the customs,
as Horace used to say.

Chronic Subway Face Dull.

One of the amazing things about a
subway ride from downtown to the out
skirts during the rush hour is that
scarcely anybody seems to live in the
intervening territory. For miles the
station stops mean merely fresh access
sions, until the walls bulge. A few pas
sengers, novices on such rides, by and
by begin looking around at their neigh
bors and wondering why few of them
don't pile off, for the love of Mike.
The rest only stand stolidly wretched,
unable to collapse because there isn't
space, and without any noticeable inter-
est in any pushing-off place nearer
than the approximate end Of the line.
