Chinese music does not entirely lack
admirers among occidentals. There
are, It appears. trained musicians Of
our own kind who seriously profess I'M
certainty whether the Chinese have not
really advanced beyond us In music.
One authority has pointed out that
the Chinese were the first in the his
tory Of music to develop a system Of
octaves. circle Of flfths and various
other harmonical technics, and these In
the days when our ancestors had not
even evolved tho simplest forms OF
melody. While no one has apparently
commended that we shall finally arrive
at an understanding Of and a liking for
something that shall approach the Chi
nese harmonious discords," there are
not wanting those who claim to have
discovered among the musicians and
lovers of music steadily increasing
constituencies to hnrmonies the exist
ence Of which was formerly unknown.

Meaning Of the oreon eouob.

The custom of placing n green bough
on the roof OF a newly built house IL
not confined to Germany, but was
adopted by the French Canadians,
who brought 1t with them from Brit
tany. The custom originated from
the superstition prevalent centuries
ago that every tree is inhabited by a
spirit; consequently It was believed
that every time tree was felled an
other spirit was dispossessed, and this
was supposed to cause some bitterness
on his part against society. Rather
than risk having these homeless and
disgruntled spirits vent their I'll feel

then supposed to be Modified, and If
they remained so until the roof was
put on any evil design contemplated
would prove harmless. for the spell
would be broken.

Dublin, the capital, Is MS distinctly
different from Belfast as Washington
IL from Pittsburgh, for Dublin has few
industrial plants and is hotbed Of
politics. 1t has many historic spots,
fine monuments, wide streets, splen.

cathedral where the famous Dean
Swift occupied the pulpit for years.
Cork, too, is n pleasant city with a
style distinctly its own. and here the
American feels ut home. 1t seems that
half the residents there have friends
or relatives In the United States, and
one Is continually hearing stories of
these friends, The majority Of tho

Amerigo Vespucci made the first map
Of Brazil, although only Of the const

map that led to the fixing Of the name

accident-the drifting out of its course
Of Portuguese expedition. The coun-

TINKER RESENTED
BROOKLYN'S SLIGHT
Veteran ShOrtStOp SaySEbbetl
Ignored His TeIeCramS. and
Desired Too Much Publicity
at Signing Of Contract

CHICAGO. Jan. Joseph B. Tinker
who hurled the monkey-wrench intc
the wheels of organized baseball wher
he signed a Federal League contract
made the settlement today that the
machinery would have gone along
smoothly, with never a slip of cog,
If Charles II. lsbbets, the Brooklyn
maenate. had cared less for free ad-
vertising.
Tinker declares that it was the mag
mates love of free advertising that re-
suited in his signing a Federal League
contract
Here is the story, as told by Tinker
today;

But when l heard that / was to re-
ceive a cash bonus of $4,000 for sign

underwent a change.
mo one can find fault with me for
going where I can get the most
money. If a man possesses talent
he cannot be blamed If he turns il
to the best account
II waited a few days and heard
nothing from Ebbets. Then tele-
graphed him. / received no answer
TO my message. ] wanted to know

the $4,000 bonus really went.

- didn't GO. On the day that
should have met him, received
telephone call from Manager Wilbert
Robinson, of the Dodgers. He told
me that Ebbets was angry because
had wired him about the bonus and
the terms.
Then came a letter. 1t was from
Ebbetts. He offered me salary OF
$4,000 a year for three years and the
bonus of $4,000
Here is where the publicity stunt
came in was to go to the National
League meeting in New York in
February. The contract and the certi-
fled check would be there There
also would be a group of newspaper
photographers. There would be q
little party and the check would be
photographed"
3 And there you are. If the owner Of
the Dodgers had met Tinker on that
Sunday in indianapolis and had placed
the check for $4,000 in front of him.
the chances are that IT would have
been in Joe's pocket and his signature
attached to a contract within a few
minutes. For at that time Tinker
did not know what arrangements he
could make with the. .Eederals. -
