There is probably no other game that
brings into prominence the necessity CT
confidence in team work as does auction.
game and that the meeting of the minds
Of two players in harmonious understand
ing for the making or defeating Of a con-
tract is the essential point underlying
skilful play and makes for intense in
terest in the game.
The popularity OF temperament and
character of players is always field for
interesting study and the final test Of
success is always confidence in any action
taken for the team interest. When this
element is lacking the game becomes
more or less haphazard, with each part
ner playing individually, and best results
never obtain. Logic and inference are
wasted, and the keen satisfaction OF
scientific play lost.
IN THE MATTER OF DOUBLING.
Doubles at the different stages Of the
game present the opportunity for showing
absolute confidence in action taken or
not taken.
Watch the score should become sub
conscious act, for doubles generally re-
yolve around the score condition, espe-
cially on strong hands that tempt oppo-
nents to dangerous bids to save a rubber.
Here is hand played last week that
wasted a good chance for overtime score
with a heavy advantage and more chances
to follow.

South declared one diamond.
When South's strength is considered an
attempt at "shutout' by higher suit
declaration would not be in the best part
nership interest.
A game ahead and most advantageous
position on the second game promised to
draw out defensive measures that the
opponents might hesitate TO make were
the score less threatening. To bid unnec-
essarily high, where individual strength
would easily lend itself to an increased
bid later, would be placing an obstacle in
the opponents bidding path that should
be avoided.

ceptional calibre should have justified
Norths double under the conditions sur
rounding the bid. and the onus was
strictly on North.
Restraint I'm bidding on hands is part
OF the game that begets confidence, but
there are few players able TO resist the
temptation to boost an adversary, even
when they are fully aware OF the foolish
ness of IT, and the advantage held Is
turned over to the opponents.
a very large percentage Of hands that
are overbid and penalized generally hold
position of probable "stings" at some
stage of the game that are handed over
TO the enemy.
Impatience and lack OF calm considera-
ton Of the multiplicity OF elements in
VOWED destroy the confidence of partners.
Not 80 per cent Of auction players bid
their hands as they know they should.
Watching a team of good players. relia-

action is the uneXplainabe feature
A HAND IN POINT.

prides himself upon his clever game and
readily admits the charge. 1t is a fair
sample OF poor application OF ability that

The first fruits Of DR. Hodges's laoors
in the upbuilding of the musical service
OF Trinity Church seem to have been teIt
In an effort 20 brine about uniformity be-
tween the parish church and the chapels.
1t was ordered by the vestry that Choir
lister be appointed 20 have charge OF the
vocal music in it's three churches CTrinity
and its two chapels of St. George and st.
PauD, and 10 practise the three choirs
frequently at one time and place; also
that a choral school be established for the
younger members OF the parish. month
later the sum of $3.50 was appropriated
for the support OF the three choirs. The
effort was futile; the combined rehearsals
were never held, but the annual appro-
pration OF 81 800 for each choir was con-
tlnued without change for thirty years.
For seven years, while Trinity Church
was building, DR.. Hodges labored in St.
Johns Chapel, but under his impulse eff
forts were begun looking toward the
eventual installation OF the full choral
service. He knew then what good
many vestries have not yet learned, that
condition precedent TO boy choristers
worthy of the name is a choir school. In
1913 at his instance, doubtless. measures
were taken by the vestry of Trinity par
sh TO establish such a school. For the
scholars Of the New York Protestant
Episcopal Pubic School the vestry found
ed sixteen musical scholarships with sti-
ponds Of from $40 to $40, the holders TO re-
ceive a general education with instruction
two days every week in music.
DR.. Hodges worked twenty years to at
tain three things-choristers a church
service and the use OF the Anglican chant
paralysis in 1855 and though he remained
the nominal organist OF Trinity Church
until 1863, he could do no more work. He
died in 1867 without seeing the full con-
summation of his aims, though under his
successor and with the unwilling help OF
the Prince Of Wales, as has recently been
related in this journal, he saw the boy
choristers put into vestments and moved
into the chancel in October, 1860
TRAINING TRINITYS CHORISTERS.
DR.. Victor Baier. who is the organist
and choirmaster of Trinity Church, has
been connected with its music since boy
hood. having entered the choir under Dr.
Messiter (whose record OF thirty-one
years OF service marks an epoch I'm the
history Of church music in New York; in
1872 as a treble chorister. He became a
solo boy. then an organist and choir
master. and in 1884. after service else
where, was appointed assistant organist
to Dr. Messiter whose successor he be-
came in 1891 Forty-one years OF almost
continuous service is his extraordinary
record. Unless there has been a change
in recent years. the choristers OF Trinity
Church are scholars of the day school
connected with the parish. They meet
daily for rehearsal, except on Wednesdays

an elementary class Of boys who wish To
enter the choir, which meets on Wednes.
days. AS a rule these boys must not be
younger than eight nor older than eleven
years, though exceptions are made in
favor Of boys who come with knowledge
of music. They receive instruction In
reading music and the use Of the voice,
and when sufficiently advanced are ad-
mitted to a junior class, whence they are
drafted. as vacancies occur into the regu.
lar choir.
With various notifications, a similar
system of instruction prevails in the va.
rious chapes OF Trinity Parish and the
the city in which boy choristers are EN-.
ployed, with the exception Of Grace
Church, which maintains choir school
of excellent appointments, though not 80
generously housed as the Cathedral
school.
GOOD AND EVIL BOY cHolRS.
1t is an old observation that, while
good choir of boys and men is the best OF
chorS for a certain class OF music,
poorly trained choir OF the sort is about
the worst. When the movement in favor
of vested or supplied cholrs, which prac-
tically abolished volunteer mixed choirs
and solo quartets in the Episcopal Church,
began, about twenty-five years ago, some
of the finest church musicians in the city
gave up posts which they had held for
decades rather than assume responsible
ity for I'll trained choirs. Men like Sam
uel p. Warren and Joseph Mosenthal re-
fused to have anything to do with boy
choristers, because they knew, what few
vestrymen then knew and what many
have not yet learned, that a good boy
choir is the most expensive musical in
stitution which a church can maintain,
and one that requires careful nourishlng
and continual attention. When Grace
Church elected TO dispense with the or
ganist and quartet which had long given
it distinction It applied some Of its vast
wealth to the establishment OF choir
school, as the only completely satistac'
tory solution Of problem which has al
ways existed and must always exist ID
the nature OF things. One Of the funda'
mental difficulties arises from the fact
that boys will be boys" being obsessed
with a normal and therefore large guam
THY of boys nature, and that boys voices
come and go very capriciously. The ordi-
nary choirmaster is therefore obliged 70
recruit his choristers as best he can, SELF
ing upon every bit OF material which
seems promising wherever he finds II ana
working hard to hold 1t by offering al
the inducements which his opportunities
afford him. The task OF keeping fuH
choir OF tractable boys with good voices
is not an easy one, and many induce
ments have to be held out 10 the lads ana

mites is abandoned, with inadequate re-

The loss in this hand and in other hands
OF similar type occurs through lack OF

Tariff Humbug

ONE of the best things ever writ
ten about the tariff was recently con-
tributed to the Wichita tkansas),
Beacon by William c. Redfield. In
tied States Secretary OF Commerce.
He was formerly a member OF Con-
eress, and in that capacity had good
opportunity to learn that duties on
imports commonly have been hNed
to suit special interests, rather than
for the general welfare of the coun-
try.
Speaking Of "protcction," and the
tender regard for manufacturers III
the makeup of tariff schedules. the
Secretary says:
This was on the theory that they
would divide with their workingmen,
but the workingmen tell another
story about the division. Everybody
who thinks knows that the talk OF
the tariff making wages high is a
joke. Perhaps it is more just to say
that it is a tragedy.
The fact is that the great wOrsted
industry, for example. with its enor-
nous protection. running up, in cases
to more than 100 per cent. has been
paying very low wages. while other
industries, with far less protection
have been paying higher wages.

out that manufactured articles are
being shipped out of the United
States to the extent of .$5,0OO,OOt

When we can sell steel abroad al

OF late years this fact has been SC

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Bids have
just been received by the Forest
Service for 800 million feet Of timber
which has been advertised for sale on
the Tongass National forest in Alaska
and an additional 800 million feet
from the forest has been applied for.
A large part of this timber is Sitka
spruce, which will be made into paper
pulp not only for the Pacific coast and
the Orient. but for the general pulp
market.
The latest estimates of the Forest
Service available shows that there is
II stand of approximately 20 billion
feet on the Tongass national forest in
Alaska. Recent Investigations have
shown this amount to be very mucn
larger than supposed The Alaskan
forests, according to bureau experts,
contain approximately e-sixth of the
total stand of timber on the national
forests.
