wave to the crowd. which will give
you some idea Of the brilliant effort

Uzcudun, though game, was
set-up for Louis style, while
RetZlaff tried to rush Joe off
his feet in the first few seconds
and failed.
It would seem, therefore, that a
courageous battler with some knowl-
edge Of the finer points of the ring
might at least give the answer as to
whether Louis can take solid sock
and shake it off. Louis, therefore. has
been spared the trouble of answering
that question merely because his Of
fense eliminated the necessity Of a
defense.
Baer veiled his fright by con-
stantly buoying his spirits with verb
al attacks on Louis. Schmeling ap-
parently has been calm and unin-
pressed with Louis previous bouts.
Whether he will maintain
that attitude will not be learned
until he crawls through the

"A Police Building Program.

The plans Of Major Brown, superin-
tendent Of police, to make urgent rec
concentrations for new precinct and
headquarters buildings for the depart
ment offer an interesting commentary
on District of Columbia finances. Major
Brown is perfectly correct in placing
the needs before the Commissioners.
Anybody who knows the condition of
some of the ancient edifices which now
serve the precincts and, especially, the
old building at 462 Indiana avenue,
which houses police headquarters and
the Traffic Bureau, agrees with Major
Brown that his protest is justified and
his requests should stand on their own
feet. But Major Brown probably knows

ATTAINING HAPPINESS
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN D. D, IL D. D. c. L.
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON. - -

One Of the striking phrases in the
opening portion of the Declaration of
Independence maintains that all men
"are endowed by their Creator with Ger
tain unalienable rights: that among
these are life, liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness" and that to secure these
rights governments are instituted among
men,"
This Is the affirmation Of Christian
principle that was repeatedly upon the
lips of the great Master. Possibly moth
ing has been SO misinterpreted as His
designs for the highest attainment OF
human happiness. Described as He was
as "a man of sorrows and acquainted
with grief" there was ever upon His
lips the assurance that the purpose OF
His ministry was to give to men. not
only fine Interpretation of life, but
fuller understanding Of how its highest
happiness was to be achieved One OF
His followers, with a clear understand
ing Of the real purpose Of Christian dis
cipleship, wrote this striking word: He
that will love life, and see good days. let
him refrain his tongue from evil, and his
lips that they speak no guile; let him
eschew evil, and do good"

men, and to "see good days" is the uni
versal quest. To attain these high ends
means to avoid those things that hinder
and preclude their high accomplishment.
Sometimes as we read the story OF the
ministry and teaching Of those who have
been the exponents of the Christian
faith and practice, We realize how far
they have departed from the teaching
of the Master. They have excluded
happiness as one Of the normal purposes
of Christian living. A striking illuStra-
ton of this is contained in remarkable
book entitled THE Exile" 1t is the life
story of a gentlewoman of the South
who abandoned her home and accepted
exile in foreign country and among
a strange people that she might serve
her missionary husband. The recital
that follows tells Of the many and severe
hardships through which she passed.
Her high-minded husband, whose devo-
ton to his work Is finely portrayed, had
a conception of Christian faith and
practice that we cannot think as in
consonance with the mind Of Christ.
The Joy OF religion. in his mind, was
alien to it. Self-sacrificing and courage
Gus as he was throughout his whole
ministry, there was little Of light and
much of shadow in his own household.
The gentle. buoyant wife, noble as she

was in her Christian spirit, knew little
Of happiness and much of sacrifice.
Heroically she accepted her lot and de-
spite the repeated SORROWS that came to

loyalty carried on to the end Of her days.
When she was old and bedridden she
was attended by an English nurse whose
light gaiety deeply impressed
the dying woman. One day she said
rather shyly, You know I heard you
say something about dancing, but I do
not know what it's like" whereupon the
nurse readily gave her an example of
something she had never known. Lean
ing back against her pillows the sick
woman said, well, that's a pretty thing.
I should not be surprised that my hus-
band is all wrong about God. I believe
He wants folks to be happy"
Denied through long and trying years
the bright and colorful things of life,
she was coming to realize in her latter
days that happiness in all its finer ex-
pressicns was consistent exhibition Of
what Christ designed the practice of re-
ligion to be. How often, even in these
days Of enlightment and better under
standing of the mind of Christ. do we
find happiness in all its legitimate man
ifestations banned and interdicted by
those who seek to interpret the purpose
Of the Masters ministry. To love life
and seek good days" is the common de-
sire of all men, and it is our deep con-
viction that this is not inconsistent with
a Christian habit and practice. On the
contrary, 1t is normal Christian living.
We would make finer appeal to youth
If we interpreted more fully the sheer
joyousness of life lived in consonance
with the teachings Of Christ. Rightly
conceived there can be no gloom and
shadowing clouds on the pathway of
one who day by day attempts to live his
life by the rule Of Christ. Able Dimnet
in his illuminating and refreshing books
makes this clearly evident. He presents
q Christian faith that is colorful and
appealing. 1t is an Interpretation of
the abundant life that was ever upon
the lips Of the Savior of mankind. The
nearer we approximate His ideal the
greater will be the response of those who
love life and seek to see good days.
1t may be that in these heightened
Summer days we may get finer con-
ception Of what Christian faith and
practice are designed to accomplish in
the attainment and enrichment Of the
more abundant life.

The Tragedy of Zioncheck.

Even in the most outrageous Of his
exploits, Representative Zioncheck
showed more of the impulsive irrespon-
sibility of a boy than any viciousness.
Some of the things he did could not be
condoned because they endangered the
lives Of other people. Nothing he did
was deliberately mean. And that ex-
plains why his friends in Congress and
the authorities who might have taken
him in charge long before were so slow
to act. When they did act they discov-
cred he was no mere scalawag. bent on
painting the town red for the devilment
that was in it. There was no deep mys-
terry behind his irrational conduct. He
was just a sick man.
To the shock which the tragedy of his
death has brought there is added the
same sort of remorse that one feels over
the punishment of a child for being
bad" when the child was not bad at
all, merely i'll. Mr.. Zioncheck was pun
iShed, OF course. He was punished by
the laughter OF those who were amused,
the laughter that so quickly turns to cold
ridicule. He was punished by a tolerance
that, as well meant as it may have been,
was unkind. For what he needed was
not tolerance, but a doctors care. Con-
sidering all these things and what he
had come to and what he might have
been, there is not as much tragedy In
his death as there was in his life.

Some of this abuse is coupled with

for the only time together in "a hours.

Music at the Zoo.

merely that the animals were disturbed
