PEACEMAKER ROLE
FIT DAV|LA HERE
Changing Conditions Made a
Revolutionary Leader of
Former Ambassador.

Carlos G. Davila, q self-made Chilean
who changed within one year from the
role of prosperous Ambassador in the
United States to that of revolution
ary leader at home, was known here
as mediator and peacemaker vigor-
ously interested in improving Chilean
| relations with North America and the
| countries Of his own continent.
| With his talented wife, Sonora Her.
minia Arrate de Davila he was prom
inent and popular figure in Washington
! diplomatic circles.
As a boy Senior Davila paid his own
way through college, earned law de-
gree and opened an ofiice in Chile. He
could find few clients to give the bene-
fits of his education, so he sought a
job. The newspaper Ell Mercrio gave
him one. Davila became interested In
the management of newspapers. studied
North American models and decided to
introduce the American technique in
South America journalism. as opposed
to the established European form.
Started Tabloid.
He started the fist South American
tabloid, after experimentation as man
ager of foreign news for La Nacion
convinced him his theory was right.
The tabloid was great success. Davila
gained political prestige. His paper was
| instrumental in popularizing a new
constitution. a new republic supposedly
modelled along American lines. The
novel government he favored has been
described as an institution Of engineers
and newspaper men divorced more or
less from politics.
Social insurance, lack of unemploy-
ment and other idealistic attributes
| were claimed for this form in 1929.
Davila said at that time the country
was able to provide old age pensions,
workmens compensation, etc, because
there were no large fortunes in the
country, the government alone being
| tremendously wealthy For this rea-
son, he said, there was in Chile none
OF the extreme radicalism evident in
other South American nations. Chang
| ing conditions since boom days may
explain the sudden presence Of a sue
| cessful Communist rebellion in con-
| servative Chile, with prosperous Davila
| at its head.
Davila was credited with an impor-
tant part in settling the Tacna AFRICA
J dispute between Chile and Peru. as

Wife . Painter.
Sonora Davila was known here as
! painter whose works had won prizes in
| Santiago exhibitions and who gained
an American reputation by an exhibit
at the Roerich Museum In New York
She also received considerable pub
licity when newspapers attributed to
| her the remark that "artistically speak
ing, Washington is dead from the neck
| up and its society as devoid of true
appreciation of art as group of Hot

sonora did not speak English fluently
| enough to have said such things.
Announcement Of Davila's resigna-
tion from his post here was received

couple were widely feted before their

WHILE indignant faculty committees
w and similar investigating bodies
at other universities set up con-
tinual clamor about overemphasis on
varsity sports. athletic heads at Catho-
lie University are pointing with con-
siderable pride to the remarkable turn
out for intramural sports at the Brook
land institution during the last year.
Out of 576 students at the univer-
Sity, 443 took part in some form of
fntramural sports competition. Eddie
La Fond, director of the intramural
program at c. u, believes that there
are few other schools anywhere in the
country boasting 79 per cent participa-
ton in sports on the part of their
student bodies.
Records showed that basket ball was
the most popular sport. attracting 152
participants. Base ball was second in
favor, with 124 participants. and track
and touch ball put up close fight for
third honors with ia and no, respec-
lively. Bowling drew So, tennis SIS. foul

1888 registered participants who took
part in regularly scheduled games and
tournaments in the II sports. Scores
OF other students took part II un-egis-
tered contests.
These figures do not include the many
c. U. students who took part in inter-
collegiate foot ball, basket ball, boxing

counted in, the percentage of athleti-

BAGS FRENCH TITLE
SANS LOSS OF SET.
Now Looks to British and
U. S. HonorS-CoChet,
De Stefani in Final.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A UTEUIL, France, June g.
~ Helen Wills Moody has
/ \ completed the first lap of
her tennis drive toward all
three of the worlds major wom-
ems singles championships.
She won the French title in
Roland Garros Stadium yester-
day, brushing aside Nine. Rene
Mathieu of France, IS, 6-1,
thus completing her brilliant
march through Europe's best
without the loss of a set.
Now Mrs. Moody will seek the
British title at Wimbledon, start
ing June 20, and then will defend
her American championship at
Forest Hills later in the year.
The California ace twice has succeed
in the same year. She has won the
American title seven times, and the
French and British crowns four times
each, but only in 1928 and 1929 did
she win all three in the same year.
THERE does not appear to be any
i feminine player capable of taking
set from her right now, although
expert opinion was that she did not
play as well here this year as she did
in 1880 when she made her last trip
to Auteuil.
The mems singles final between Henri
Cochet and George De Stefani was to
be held today, with the French star
an overwhelming favorite. Cochet beat
his countryman, Marcel Bernard, in the
semi-tinais yesterday, while the Italian
conquered Roderich Mcneil of Czecho-
slovakia.
IF Cochet wins, he will share with
i Mrs. Moody the distinction of being
the only double winner of the cham
pionships. Mrs Moody and Elizabeth
Ryan accounted for the women's dou-
hies title, and Cochet and jacques Brug-
non the mems. Fred Perry and Betty
Nuthall of England won the mixed dou-
bles. beating Mrs. Moody and Sidney
B. Wood in the finals.

~ the Washington Golf and

because of recent cuts in rates
for carrying the golf bags Of members,
has been nipped in the bud by w. H.

that a boy who carries heavy bag for
l8 holes deserves a dollar. So the boys
got together and made protest
threatening a wholesale strike II they
could not earn more money.
Wood gave them a little talk and
soon satisfied them that the old rates
will continue with most OF the club
members and the boys are back at work
today, happy in the thought that there
Is no depression in caddy rates.
