@BE COURTEOUS"
BY THE RIGHT REV JAMES E. FREEMAN D. I, IL D. D. c. L,
BISHOP WASHINGTON

That courtesy constitutes an important
and essential element of religion, may
not be widely recognized, and yet the
admonition contained in the above cap
ton was written by a great teacher, st.
Peter, to the early Christians. He had
been writing of certain values in human
intercourse that he regarded as of pri-
mary importance, such as the right rela-
ton between husbands and wives, of
children and parents, ETC., and he con-
cluded with these words: Finally, be
We all of one mind, having compassion
one of another, love as brethren, be
pittful, be courteous" Courtesy, which
means literally, genuine and habitual
politenesS," is the lubricant that eases
and makes smoothly operative life's fell
lowships and manifold relationships. 1t
has a practical value and concerns every
condition of life with which we have to
do. The absence of it causes friction,
MISUNDERSTANDING breaches, sometimes
tragedies and war itself. It is a quality,
OF life disclosed in daily habit that needs
cultivation quite as much as any other
gift or virtue. 1t Is the hallmark Of
gentility and good breeding and without
it even rare intellectual gifts fail Of
their large usefulness.
It was said of Thomas Carlyle that
he was hard to live with" and that
much Of his tPlendid genius failed of
appeal because Of his rude and rough
manners, that repelled those who sought
his companionship. His great American
admirer and friend, Ralph Waldo Emer-
son, In respect to gentility and courtesy,
was distinguished for the qualities Car
lyle lacked. Some men cultivate the
habit OF brusqueness and rudeness.
They seem to think 1t the badge Of dis
tinction and originality. Courtesy shows
itself in many ways, not alone in the
home, office and drawing room, but in
every relation we sustain to our fellows.
1t has its distinct place in our play as
in our working hours; in our CORE
Spondence as in our conversation. 1t
is the conspicuous adornment of the
man who prides himself upon his gen.
tility, the commanding grace Of the
woman who seeks the high esteem Of
her companions.
1t may be that our generation has
lost much of the old chivalries and re-
finementS, that we have become so en-

Toward New Frontiers.

It Is difficult for the lay mind TO-
appraise the value Of Col. Lindbergh's
invention, which the imaginative press
picturesquely describes as the robot
heart" The praise of DR.. Alexis Carrel
for the "keenest and most intuitive and
inventive" mind of his young collabo-
rator, together with the wide interest
and understanding already manifested
by scientific men of the possibilities of
the invention in laboratory research, will
suffice on that score.
But the news of Lindbergh's exploits
In the laboratory serves to perpetuate
the romance which attaches to q name
already known the world over. His
quest continues beyond the horizon
which separates the known from the
unknown; for him there are always new
frontiers. And his sole request Of a
world anxious to pay him homage is
to be let alone. He may find, in the
protected seclusion of a laboratory, what
he searched for in vain among the
clouds.

Of profound regret that the Public Works
Administration, supplied for two years

demonstrations in this field, is yet to

The pending bill Is not only Of ques-

FIFTY YEARS AGO
In THE STAR

An attempt to establish military dis
cipline in Government buildings in this
city so years ago led to the following
observation in The Star of June 16, 1885:
The new captain Of
OaluIes ny the watch at the
Watchmen Treasury Department
has promulgated an
order which is open to objection. He
had directed the watchman of the
building to give the military salute to
all officers in the department above the
rank of a chief of division, including
the captain of the watch. There are
various modes of expressing respect
known among polite nations aside from
the formalitieS Of military discipline, and
it is not at all necessary to turn a
civil department into a camp, nor does
such bit of monarchial red tape COM
port with that 'Jeffersonian simplicity
which 1t is proposed to revive. 1t is to
be hoped that the officers above the
rank of chief of division, including the
captain of the watch, will soon see the
absurdity of the new rule and restore
the relation of watchmen and officers
to one of native civility and courtesy"
Although horse races are supposed to
be held" says The Star of June II, 1885,
"in order to improve the breed and for
other reasons of a similarly lofty tone,
nevertheless as a plain
hacee1racK matter of fact horse rae
Gambling ing is very tame sport
without betting. They
are finding that out in New York State,
where the laws against bookmaking and
pool selling are, for the moment, strictly
enforced. The racing clubs are diScon-
Solate and frankly say that unless they
can evade the law in some way every
track in the State will go to grass. Emil
nent legal advice has been called in,
therefore, and plan has been devised
which, it is held, will defeat the law
without breaking it. This scheme is de-
scribed to be somewhat as follows: Pre-
miumS are offered to winnerS-that Ger
tainly is legal and proper-and this pre-
mium fund is to be thrown open to gen.
eral contribution from the public and
with the authority of the owner of the
successful horse is to be equally diStrib-
uted among the contributors in his be-
half and for his horse Eminent counsel
have assured the jockey clubs that no
body can object to that, and If any one
does the clubs are going to fight it out
in the courts-for the breed OF horses
must be improved"

"HERE are more angles to smart
competition than many nom
combatants ever see.
One Of the smartest Of these
is forcing an opponent to play your
type of game, to fight your type Of
fight or to dominate the pace.
This was noticeable in the first
Ross-McLarnin contest. Ross forced
McLarnin to fight the way Ross want
ed him to fight. MeLarnin let him
get way with it instead Of crowding
Ross away from the coasting spots.
The same thing was noticeable IN
the Canzoneri-Ambers contest. Can
zoneri was the man In charge-not
Ambers.
TT Is for this reason" says
an old-timer, "that Braddock
has IN outside chance against
Baer."
Baer fought the way he wanted to
against Camera. He fought when he
felt like it and loafed when he wanted
to. I don't think Braddock will let
him do this. 1t may cost Braddock
an early knockout, but he won't let
Baer fight one minute and then rest
two. Schmeling made the same mis-
take against Baer, instead Of crowding
him from the start. ..

n IEw YORK. May 15.-The
nj "hitless wonders" Of the
Y American League no longer
are the Chicago White Sox
but the New York Yankees.
It's only a coincidence that the
departure of the Babe Ruth has been
followed by an abrupt decline In the
batting power Of the Yankee machine.
The Babe himself is hitting III, but
that's no reason for Joe McCarthy's
more youthful and agile crew to take
the slugging toboggan at the same
time.
The Yankees not only are at the
bottom of the league but so far not
one of the regulars has clubbed his
way into the 300 class. Tony Lazzeri.
now hitting around 270, tops the list.
The other regulars are all far down,
and Capt. Lou Gehrig. who was last
years league batting king with mark
of 1863, has only a pale .253 to show
for his efforts so far, though he col
lected three hits yesterday.
Puts Strain on Hurlers.
1t may be the weather or that the
boys are pressing a bit. Certainly
hitters like Gehrig, Bill Dickey, Ben
Chapman and Earle Combs-all with
lifetime marks of $40 to .345-figure
to do much better as the season
develops.
But the Yankee pitching staff. al
ready feeling the strain. can't continue
to keep the club in a contending posi-
ton without quick and substantial
assistance from the hitters.
1t used to be bulletin news when
the Yankees were shut out. They
went more than two years at one
whitewash, but they have been blanked
three times so far this Spring.
Lefty Gomez has been the victim
Of two shut-outs, losing 10 to Yves
Ferrell in the seasons opener and
dropping a 80 decision to Schoolboy
Rowe at Detroit this week. The Cas-
tilian can appreciate how Freddy

lN have emerged from a hitting
slump nearly as discouraging
as that of the Yankees. The cham
pions seem to have hit their 1884
stride again. They are in a good po-
sition to come from behind, the way
they did last year.
At this stage Of the 1884 race
Mickey Cochrane's crew was strug-
Cling to stay in the first division.
Rowe and Auker had not yet steadied
down to their best work. Now the
Tigers are sixth, but they are only four
and one-half games out Of first place
and only three and half games be-
hind the club they figure to have to
peat-the Cleveland Indians.
Greenberg, Goslin and Cochrane
himself have had tough time find
ing their batting eyes this Spring,
with the result they have been keep
ing Gehrig company in the lower
brackets, but they look to be well on
the road to recovery now.
They have fattened themselves on
Yankee pitching, which ought to be
an encouragement, inasmuch as Coch-
rane picked New York as his clubs
most dangerous rival this year.
