to n second one behind. Shapario says
of women musicians
"They leave our music schools yearly
by the hundreds with the highest hon.
ors and awards behind them TO fire
their hopes and ambitions. Where do
they find themselves In year OF two?
Earning a miserable livelihood playing
in second class restaurants-the best
have only men-or cafe chantants
grinding out popular music to the edi-
fication of the greedy people, and. Of
course, being female labor, receiving
only the bafest pittance. The alterna-
tive is teaching untalented Juveniles
for the least fee the parents want TO
pay.
These women probably studied
shoulder to shoulder with A Mischa
Elman at the school Of some great for
eign teacher, taking away with them
the great mans blessings and prophe-
cies for brilliant future. Yet when
they arrive into the world of work
they find men, even the buffers Of their
class, holding the high places by rea-
son of their sex and themselves shut
out for the same reason"

BRITAIN IS DRINKING LESS
Statistics for 1912 Show Fall
ing Off of S6,250,000.

From The Tfibunc's Correspondent
London. April 5.-According TO George
Il. Wilson. secretary Of the United King
dom Alliance. tho amount OF money spent
on malt and spirituous liquors in the
United Kingdom is steadily decreasing
In 1912 MIR Wilson's statistics show that
approximately ss0S. 100000 was spent on in
toxicatng liquors. which is a decrease Of
Sc. 2Jo.OoO.
Commenting on this decline. Mr. WI
son remarks that Eve may perhaps cher
ish the hope that the upward tendency
noted in 1910 and 1911 as being largely due
TO the increased trade OF the country is
now being checked by forces OF many
kinds which are making for the greater
sobriety of our people"
Mr.. Wilson gives an Interesting explana-
lion of the effect on the quality OF beer
nroduced bv the taxes levied since 1907
At the beginning Of the Boer war war
tax of one shilling barrel was levied
on all beer introduced into the United
Kingdom. measured on the standard
speciflc gravity of 1865 Immediately the
tax was levied the average specihc gfaV-
ity OF the product was lowered. so that
/ 900 standard barrels. of beer produce q
/ .OoS for market. The next year the
specific gravity was again lowered so
that the proportion representing I'Vo'
standard barrels produced lO-5 DarreiS
for market. and by 1909 the ratio had risen
TO 1916. In the following year an audl-
tional duty Of 3D. barrel was imposed
and the gravity Of beer was again 10"
cred so that the 900 barrels Of the stand
ard specific gravity on which the TAX was
levied produced ,05s barrels for market
The result OF this lowering Of gravity
has enabled the brewers 10 produce ifee
OF duty in England and Wales since the
war tax was imposed 100000 more par
rels of beer than they could have pro
ducod out of the same materials II the
gravity Of tho years before HAD peeh
maintained. The retail price Of the sur
plus untaxed production was well over
$i5OOO0,0Oq
