One of the most elaborate an
one of the most impressive install
lations which Oasis Shrine No. 20
Order of the White Shrine of
Jerusalem, has ever conducted, was
that which took place Saturday
night in the Masonic temple when
Mrs. John Kuhn, worthy high
priestess, and Mr.. Kuhn, watchman
of shepherds, with their corps of
officers, were inducted into office.
In keeping with the approaching
Easter Sunday, the chapter room
was beautiful with its decorations
of Gala lilies and it's many tall
candelabra bearing lighted white
tapers.
This all white setting made an
ideal background for the solemn
ceremony and the new worthy high
priestess, Mrs. Kuhn, carried out
the same color scheme in her gown
OF exquisite lace and chiffon.
Some 200 guests witnessed the
service which opened with music
by Irene Hatch after which Bertha
Gillett, past worthy high priestess,
delivered the address of welcome.
The retiring officers, including
Ethel Macarthur, worthy high
priestess for the past year, and
Duane Stafford, watchman of shep-
herds were honored with escort, as
were distinguished sojourners and
visitors.
The candlelighting ceremony fol-
lowed with Lorraine Sims, grand
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Kuhn,

The Many angles

II have always thought" P. Hal
continued, that Walter Hagen was
always a master of technique and
tactics. Hagen's angle is this-a
golfer plants his tee shot into the
rough, partially stymied by a tree.
In place of accepting the penalty he
has incurred by a bad shot, he tries
to save himself by some miracle
attempt. The odds against this at
tempt may be 10 or Is to /. # he
would play out safely and then gam
BILE on one pitch and one putt, the
odds would be much less. And the
penalty much lighter.
"How many average golfers will
you see trying to play wooden
club from the rough. You'll see it
often. They merely move from one
trouble to deeper trouble, as rule.
BY using the right technique they
might still get 4 on the hole or
almost surely 5. But overlook
ing the percentage matter complete
", they wind up with or I.
Most golfers could take away or
10 strokes from their average
rounds by using better technique.

The Case of Conn

Conn's boxing form was brilliant.
His foot action and his hand ac-

He made you think of style-just as

but Conn's technique in the thir-
teenth round suddenly blew up. He
had taken the lead because he kept
moving around, giving Louis shift
ing target. But in the thirteenth
round he suddenly turned lat-footed
and began exchanging punches with
a much better puncher.
"Many will tell you Conn became
fiat-footed through the body pun
;shmept he had taken in earlier
rounds. 1 don't agree with this for
the simple reason in the twelfth
round Conn was at his best, swarm
ing all over Louis. 1t was this round
that made him 50 badly overconfi-
dent that he forgot all about tech

Fighting Man

FtSHttHS Mm
TOLTING JOE LOUIS may not be
y the greatest fighter who ever
stepped into the ring, but there's one
thing on which boxing experts agree.
He is the greatest fighting man of
our time.
The greatest In history" label
has been pinned on Just about ev-
cry heavyweight champion Of the
past. John L. Sullivan, James J.
Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons, James
J. Jeffries, Jack Johnson, Jess Will
lard. Jack Dempsey and Gene Tun-
ney-all have been granted this en-
thusiastic honor. No one can say
who is truly deserving Of It.
One thing is certain, however.
Louis has been the most active Of
all champions. He has defended his
title 10 timeS-an almost unbelieva-
BILE figure when compared to the
frequent" fighters of a past era.
johnson and Dempsey each went to
the post seven times in defense of
Their title.
Since 1884, Louis, 4 Golden Glove
champion, has had IS professional
fights. OF those opponents, II were
unable to 60 the route. Louis was
forced to 20 all the way in only
seven matches. He was beaten once
during that time, when Max Schme-
ling Knocked him out In 1886.

Just what is Form-what is Tech
nique and what are Tactics? I put
the matter up to P. Hal Sims, bridge
player and golfer, who has put
in much careful thought along these
lines through 40 years of competi-
tive effort.
Form" says Mr.. Sims, "is real
ly style-the correct physical way
Of doing things. It Is the popular
current style, which often changes
as new champions come along with
different ways Of playing games.
Technique is the best mathemat-
ical execution of form. l should
say that technique is eliminating as
much as you can the margin of err
ror. II demands that you give more
consideration to the percentage
side.
Tactics is the handling or direc-
ton Of form and technique together.
MANY times the failure to OBJ
serve technique puts on added pres
sure. All the mistakes you make
increase pressure. In bridge for
example the first mistake you make
in bidding or playing the hand will
increase the pressure enormously.
The same Is true in golf, which
opens with the tee shot. II You miss
this stroke, you wade right out In
the middle Of increasing pressure.

CITY OR COUNTRY?

CITY OR COUNTRY!
A KANSAS CITY friend told me
recently that he had bought a small
farm within an hours drive of the
city. My friend is, and has been,
city worker. He is the father Of
family of children of from S to Is
years of age. He has been fearful
of the financial future of America.
The man from whom the farm
was purchased had become enam-
ored of what he considered the op-
portunities, the conveniences, the
attractions, Of the city and wished
the privilege Of enjoying these for
himself and his family.
What my Kansas City friend has
purchased is an assurance of health,
shelter, warmth and food for his
family and for himself. Chickens,
COW, pigs, garden, a wood lot
from which to cut fuel, provide these
things, if nothing more, and he was
wise to secure a place where he
can keep his feet on the ground and
has an insurance against hunger.
At the end of five years, the man
who sold may have realized his ex-
pectation of enjoyment Of oppor-
tunity, convenience and attraction
of the city. but the chances are 100
to against him. The vast majority
in any large city evidence more Of
failure than of success,

his challengers were far from dan
gerous. Indeed, many Of them
would have had to improve con-
siderably before they could climb
into the ham and egg division. But
Joe wasn't responsible for this sorry
lack of worthwhile competition. He
fought the best men available. Pre-
tenders to the throne made up in
quantity what they lacked in quail
ity-which was Slightly colossal.
Joe's willingness to stand the
grind Of training for such long pc

reason for his long reign. Few
champions in history would submit
to such a routine. That is why most
of the other title holders fought SO
seldom after reaching the top. Even
Dempsey took a three-year rest be-
tween the Firpo and Tunney fights.
Most fighters hate to train. They
dislike the road work, the dullness
of camp life, the absence of bright
lights and the unvarying routine.
Louis has been extraordinary in this
respect. He trained as thoroughly
for one fight as for another, re-

Louis willingness to work hard for
victory will remain one of the high
spots of his career. He deserves his

to turn away from the places where
at least part of it can be spent.
