properly used for a year than it
does when new. The cases are the
only parts of the instrumental that

have been thoroughly cleaned and

This holds good with the older

are a number who have no fear
of losing their positions and are
ready to do anything to help the

They do this, not alone from a
tendency to see the young fellow
get along. but by helping him de-

their club.
The idea that on every major
