a large firm in Westphalia has for
some years made practice OF giving

who are abstainers for a longer or short
er time. The tariff is as follows: One
months abstinence gains prize OF one

months abstinence gains six marks.
ten months gains II marks. - months

the good faith of the workmen by
awarding these prizes on their
simple written declaration Of alb

Since 1896 nearly 400 of these rewards
have been given. and no case is known

University Orchestra Closes
It's Year With Messiah
By James Crawford

\ TO greater evidence Of the effect
nj of personal feeling in music
composition can be given than
"The Messiah" Handlers whole
soul was in the work And that 1t
created lasting and deep impression
was fairly exemplified yesterday after
noon In the Greek Theater. where at
least 1000 people braved a pinchfng
atmosphere and reverently absorbed
the beautiful oratorio as it was in
terpreted by the University Orchestra,
q quartet of vocal so1oists and a chorus
of 225, all directed by Professor Wolfe.
1t was suggestive of a benedictional
closing Of the years work of the
orchestra. This idea was conveyed
both by the sacred quality of the
music and the somber garb-academic
gown and cap-of the performers, nor
was 1t marred by the rather churchly
architecture Of the stage All that
clashed with the air of sacerdotal dig
gear worn by one Of the lady soloists-
1t stood out in the dark picture like
a searchlight In fog.
Comfort ye. comfort ye, my people,
saith your God" The constantly re-
peated major chords which followed the
tender, lingering minor cadences in
the overture to those words spoke di-
rectly OF solace to a congregation
mostly composed of people who are
still struggling to overcome a great
temporal ahiictton- Words and music
were never made to fit more perfectly,
nor were they ever sung more oppor-
tunely. Speak We comfortably to
Jerusalem, and cry unto her that her
warfare is accomplished" Many heads
were bowed while the sentiment was
reiterated again and again, as IL to
emphasize a message of encourage
ment.
The soloists were Mrs Zilpha Rug
giles Jenkins, soprano; Mrs. Lille A.
Birmingham, contralto; Frank OnsloW,
tenor, and Arthur Cunningham, basso.
Their singing was quite effective-not
so much SO. perhaps, as If it had been
confined by walls and ceiling, but suf-
fciently SO to clearly transmit the full
mote auditor. In cantabile airs Handel
had the artistic sense to exclude in
strumentation as much as possible, and
the value of his method in that respect
was appreciated by the listeners as well
as the singers 1t enabled the former
to express their highest musical feel
ings without fear that the expression
would be slurred.
Mrs. Jenkins voice. rather uncertain
at first, improved apace with the pro-
gress OF the oratorio, and her singing
of the exquisitely pathetic and beauti-
full movement beginning Come unto
him. was deservedly rewarded with
plaudits. Mrs. Birmingham's glorious
contralto was true from beginning to
end, Mr. Onslow's singing never was
better, and Mr.. Cunningham-ah, Mr..
