GRACE METHODIST

Citing the instances of aggres- sion which involved Czecho- -Siova- kia, Ethiopia, Austria, Spain and China, . plea for adequate natIon- al defense was made yesterday by Walter Angle, speaking at the ses- sion of Everyman's Bible class at Grace Methodist church. The speaker commented that the na- tions mentioned had wanted to be let alone but that they were vic- tims of oppressors. Adequate na- tional defense Is the best guaran- tee against molestation, he said, and, although . Christian cannot and should not advocate war, the world has had startling examples of what happens to unprepared countries,

Dr.. Defferori Speaks
At Providence CoIIeoe

Coordination and cooperation in
the field of Catholic higher educa-
ton must be achieved promptly by
the educators "or some outside force
will come among us and force us to
do it," DR.. Roy j. Defferari, Sec
retary general of the Catholic Uni
versity of America. was quoted as
declaring this morning during COM
mencement exercises at Providence
OR. - College in a report received
here.
Federal or State intervention is
not at all unlikely" DR.. Defferari
said, according to the report. The
Catholic institution of higher educa-
ton is concerned in that it adds in
many localities to the general con-
fusion of higher education. Let us
not wait and give the State or any
other outside force an occasion to
interfere seriously with our educa-
tional institutions"
In addition to delivering the prin-
cipal address at the exercises, DR..
Defferari received an honorary de-
gree of doctor of laws in recognition
of his work for Catholic University.

Phillips Describes
Swimming as Most
Valuable Sport
Instructor at 6. w. U.
luuds Lessons to
Be Given at 'Y

Swimming was praised yesterday
as the most valuable sport known
to man" by B. E. Phillips, instructor
of the department of physical edu-
cation for men, George Washington
University, who commended the
Central Young Mems Christian AS
sociation for teaching many men to
swim each year in the Mems Learn
to-Swim Campaign"
This years campaign will begin
June IL, under auspices of the Y. M.
c. A. in cooperation with The Star
Those wishing to take advantage OF
the opportunity to learn to swim,
without cost, must register by noon
Saturday st the registration desk in
the Central "Y" Building, 1876 G
street NV.
Colored men may register at the
twelfth Street Y. M. c. A. Branch,
1916 Twelfth street NV, where
they will be given swimming in
1truction.
Commenting further upon the
value of swimming, Mr.. Phillips said
IN part:
The swimming instructor can
confidently challenge any one to
submit another human activity
which contributes so much to the
all-around development of the in
dividual.
Most of us are aware of its value
as exercise. as recreation and as a
means of personal and public safety
to those of all ages. We consider
also its hygienic benefits and its
contribution to the development of
self confidence and poise. However.
one can cite other sports which
contribute the above in large guam
titles
But how many of these sports
allow for the complete relaxation
which is so necessary today as does
sWimming? How many of them
tend toward the symmetrical de-
velopment that swimming gives? Do
these other forms of exercise pro-
vide the same amount of activity
with as little strain on the heart?
They do not.
mo non-swimmer should need
further evidence that he cannot
afford to miss swim week at the
'Y.'"

Broin TwizzIers
BY PROF. J. ID. FLINT.

They were playing a twosome off
the 18th tee at the SWingle Club.
Both were very good shots, but one
of them seemed rather absent
minded about the game. Two long
drives, a couple of good fairway
shots and then both of them we're
on the green in three. Being on
the green in three has nothing to
do with the problem, but it sets a
nice scene for the silly question
that one of them asked the other.
The question came up when one
said to the other: 'It seems kind of
queer, but something has been
puzzling me for some time. I have
a daughter; her pappy is the only
child of your pappy. What in the
world is my relation to you?" 1t
seemed like a silly question to the
other one too and brought forth
lot of laughter, but it still is a
problem to you and me. What is
the answer?
