GIANT HOLLY TREE
IS MUCH SOUGHT
Army and Park Authorities
Contend for Tree at
Boiling Field.

A giant holly tree, said to be more
than 200 years old, located opposite
Hams Point in East Potomac Park on
the new section of Boiling Field, is
the prize for which Army and park
authorities here are contending, now
that it has to be moved as part of the
lies in the hands of Secretary Ickes.
C. Marshall Finnan, superintendent
of the National Capital Parks, thinks
the tree, which is As feet high and over
S feet in diameter at the base, would
look we'll on the tip of Hains Point.
A survey has shown that there is no
suitable place in Anacostia Park for
placing the tree, as was at first sug-
gested.
Army Suggests Spot.
War Department authorities said the
tree should be placed about mile to
the east of its present site at the MAN
entrance of the new post, near the
future South Capitol street. This
would be between the officers mess
and the nome commissioned officers
mess buildings in a center parkway
some 40 feet wide and on the highest
point of the reservation. They antlcl-
pate the new location on Boiling Field
would lend itself admirably during the
Christmas season to lighting, so that 1t
could be seen from the Mount Vernon
Memorial Highway, Hains Point ana
other sections.

gineer in the Office of the construction
ouartermaster at Boiling Field, re-

that work has halted. Even II FUNDS
were available for steady working, TWO
years would be necessary, officials said,
to complete the new Boiling Field
project. as the work is now but about
one-third accomplished.
Lieut.. Col B. K. Yount, commanding
officer of Boiling Field, has been out
of the city on a special mission. put
is expected to return about the latter
part of this week. When he is back,
he probably will ask Secretary lckeS
for a $4,000 appropriation to move the
holly tree. AS the Secretary mas
charge of the local parks. he Will make
the final decision on whether the Army
can retain the tree or rule that 1t
should be given to the Washington
park system.
The tree, with the accompanying
ball of earth necessary to insure It's
future life, would weigh 100 tons,
ARMY officials said. An investigation
has shown that it is not feasible to
move this over bridges of the city and
through the streets, because of lack OF
clearances. Mr. Finnan believes how
ever, that it might be placed on
barge and ferried over to Hams Point.
But the Army authorities see difficulty
IN this, because there is no pier near
where the tree now stands and similar
facilities would have to be provided at
Hams Point.

THE RELIGIOUS INSTINCT
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN D., IL. D.. c. L.
Bishop of Washington

man Indifferent to a fixed form of
religious expression has been the
tendency to extract from religion that
which makes for JOY and deep salts
faction in life. The Bible contains
many definitions of God, of His
attributes and purposes. but there is
none that appeals more strongly to
US than that which is contained in
this great passage in Romans: THE
God of hope, fill you with all JOY
and peace in believing"
aSsH joyiess religion, or a religion
that subtracts from life those ele-
,ments@ti1at make for its finer salts
faction and deeper peace, is utterly
out of consonance with the teach
ings of Jesus Christ. There are alto
gether too many avowed believers
whose expressed religious faith and
practice are repellant and unat-
tractive Gloomy Christians are far
too numerous. Worrying, confused
Christians are equally numerous. To
make religion hindrance or hard
ship, rather than a help and an
inspiration, is to do violence to its
purposes. Jesus Christ came de-
claring for a fuller and more abun-
dant life. In every utterance and
attitude Of His ministry He sought
to interpret God in terms of love
and hope and mercy. Such an in
depreciation Of God and His relation
to us, and ours to Him, must pro-
duce in us the sense of abiding Joy
and permanent peace.
To the inquiring mind of the child
when it asks, What is God?" what
better answer can we give than this:
He is the God of hope who fills
us with all Joy and peace in believ-
ing" What an answer to give to the
sufferer on his bed of pain striving
for some solution of the great enigma
of human suffering! What an an
swer to give to the one who has
entered the shadoWland of a great
affliction! Yes, what an answer to
give to the man or woman who falls
a prey to the worlds temptations,
and for a time experiences the bruis-
ing and crushing of their fairest
hopes and ideals!
To believe in and to follow the God
of hope means to enrich and ennoble
life, to give it the sense Of security
in a world of shifting opinions and
uncertain ideals.

Little Tiger, What Now2

The ousting of John F. Curry from
the leadership of Tammany was as
inevitable as it was expected. Mr.
Curry had made too many mistakes
in political judgment; he had lost
too many battles. A less obstinate
man might have been persuaded to
resign months ago. He literally forced
the Executive Committee of Tammany
Hall to vote him out of office.
1t was in 1929 that Mr.. Curry was
elected Tammany leader to succeed
George w. Olvany. Olvany, a friend
and supporter of Alfred E. Smith,
resigned the job. He had been bound
up closely with the cause of the
Democratic presidential candidate in
1928. At the time of Mr. Curry's
election there was a demand for less
high hat" in Tammany Hall and a
return to the "old days" Mr.. Curry
was elected after a hard fight with
two other district leaders, E. J. Ahearn
and the late Marty McCue. Former
Mayor Jimmie" Walker, a popular
idol among Tamnany voters in those
days, was supposed to have been
pleased with the election of Curry.
Anyway, Curry stuck to Walker until
the end of the latters political career.
Incidentally, the "old days" against
which Al Smith had been striving,
returned in Tammany Hall and New
York. How we'll and how far they
returned was indicated somewhat dur
ing the investigation of the New York
City government by a committee OF
the State Legislature. This investiga-
ton resulted in the resignation of
Walker as mayor while under fire.
Mr.. Curry clashed early with Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, who was then Gov
ernor of New York and destined to be
President. Gov. Roosevelt apparently
was set upon ousting Mayor Walker,
when Walker was Curry pet. At the
Chicago Democratic National Conven-
ton in 1882 Curry strove desperately
to defeat Roosevelt for the presiden-
tial nomination He opposed, too, the
nomination of Gov Lehman, a couple
of months later. He insisted upon the
nomination of former Mayor John ].

Capital Sidelights
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Congress is promptly on time again
for its legislative duties and the press
of the country can receive dispatches
from Washington correspondents at
the proper tick Of the clock-all be-
cause George H. Jones' is back on
the job.
This fellow Jones is just one of the
humble workers on Capitol Hill. He
is never pointed out to the throngs
of tourists. Relatively few of the
members of Congress know him-but
he knows his clocks. With the incom-
ing of the new administration his
job was needed for patronage and he
was laid off. A very nice young man
took his place and did his best, but
the clocks went on strike and their
very silence demanded the return of
jones. Now he's back, temporarily,
until special legislation gives him a
permanent job, and legislation ticks
merrily on its way.
Jones takes care of 100 clocks in
the Capitol and House Office Building
has been doing it for years, as his
father did before him. He calls him.
self tinkerer. He can do any kind
of odd job well-general repair work,
carpentry, cabinet making, electric
wiring, plumbing, gas fitting. etc.
The Washington correspondents in
the press gallery welcomed him back
with a personal feeling, because there
are two clocks about 80 years old at
which they glance hurriedly in timing

father kept these same clocks run
ming on the dot SO years ago During

return, because this tinkerer made a
special pendulum to keep the historic
clock in Warren's Office doing service.

The New House Office Building is
equipped throughout with electric
clocks, but many of the old members
who moved to these new quarters took
their old clocks with them-and Jones
IS busy these days hunting up these
treasured timekeepers to get them run
ming regularly again. There should be
some 40 clocks in the Old House Of
flce Building, but the young man
under patronage who didn't know all
the hideout corners said he had been
attending to only eight of these.
Back on the job-after devoting his
time to running a barber shop, re-
pairing lawn mowers and such like
odd JobS-Jones doesn't want to see
this young fellow let out without a
place on the pay roll. He speaks most
kindly Of him and holds no resentment
because he tried to do his work with
the clocks. Jones has the sincerest
llve-and-let-liVe policy of daily living.
That's one reason those who know
him are glad to see him back.

Mayor La Guardia, the fusion candi-
date. This defeat was accompanied
by the loss of many important jobs
to Tammany. 1t was the final straw
All Winter the revolt against Curry
has been brewing. Its success quite
naturally will be welcome to the
Roosevelt Democrats. Indeed, it is
due in large part to the efforts Of
those same Roosevelt Democrats,
urged on, it is reported, by Postmaster
General Farley, the generalissimo of
the political forces of the administra-
ton and chairman Of both the ma
tional and New York State Demo-
cratic Committees. Certainly this re-
moval of Curry is a victory for the
Roosevelt Democrats in the Empire
State and Greater New York.
The Curry removal is expected to
result in much reorganization in the
Democratic set-up of Manhattan.
That reorganization Is expected to be
along lines that Will be approved by
the Roosevelt leaders. It is expected
to bring a solid New York delegation
for Roosevelt to the next Democratic
National Convention. 1t IS said 10
be a move in the interest of party
harmony. What sores it will leave is
another matter
The people Of New York should be
greatly interested in the reorganiza-
ton of the Democratic organization
of their city For it is Democratic
city, overwhelmingly. 1t is incon-
ceivable that the fusionists will be
able to maintain control long. The
control will inevitably swing back to
the Democratic party There is talk
of a triumvirate or special COM
mittee to head Tammany Hall for
the time being. Eventually a new
leader will, it is expected, be chosen.

''The God of hope fill you with all
Joy and peace in believing"
Religion" said Donald Hankey, "iS
betting ones life there is God." and
then he proceeds to make clear what
he calls the "inarticulate faith" Of
the soldier in the field. In his OBJ
servation, every man had some un-
formed and unexpressed deep religious
conviction. He also observed that the

barrassed and confused by the tech

both its magnitude and its unfailing
precision, compels us to believe with
Addison that the hand that made
it is Divine
There is too much disposition to-
day to discount definiteness and fixity
of religious belief. This is peculiarly
true Of the youth. In the larger
search for freedom from all restraints
and all forms of discipline, they would
abandon a definite religious convic-
ton. The criticism is frequently
leveled at the church that it is too
restrictive and dogmatic in its
teachings.
There may be force in this as ap-
piled to certain peculiar denomina-
tional formularieS; it is not true as
applied TO the great fundamentals that
underlie our religious life. Thomas
Hobbies very properly maintained that
State without law was State where
every man was deprived of his rights.
A creedleSs world, a world without
stable religious convictions that control
man in his relations with God and
with his fellows. would result in moral
and spiritual chaos, and the serious
impairment of those checks and re-
straints that govern us in our indi-
vidual and social habits. One of the
things that has contributed to make
