TO the tuba eco question
First. There is definite scientific evidence
that was presented at the Chicago meet d.

Advancement of Science last December that
tobacco smoking is beneficial In that II
lowers nervous tension when this Is high
and raises II when II Is depressed These
findings were obtained by nonsmoker by

not by means of psychological tests that

Second. II the would.bo saviors OF hu-

for mankind they would not be 20 free with
their efforts to advertise their wares.
Third. When these same individuals

Why Do We Have IdIeness7

To the Editor Of tho Evening Public Ledger!
Sir-Today many of tho factories are
closed. consequently that is the reason we
have so many honest people idle, WILING
to work. but cannot secure work why is
1t 50? Is II their fault. misfortune or ban
luck? or the fault of the manufacturers
and their managers?
For some time have been studying those
POINTS and ! found out that the American
manufacturers are making big mistake
and consequently they are to be blamed LOT
the idleness In this country.
We all know that as long az tas'0ry
has the orders. the factory is MOVING W.
all know that as long as the people neen
their products their factory is WORKING but
what will We have to do when the dealers
and the purchasers are supplied with enough
products for a few months? Must we CLOS"
the factories and wait until the produCts
are sold, and start TO he needed again ny
the people, or must we think and look iar
thor for orders when the people Will again
need products?
ket we have advanced very far. but as ousl-
ness people in the foreign market, or hS
exporters I wilt say that We nrc mighty
backward and here Is the mistake we are
making.
know that there are countries where
the people are looking for the American
products and where the products are needed
very badly had the pleasure 10 read a
letter sent from a company from announcer
country in which It says: send, sehd' s'H''
products no matter what kind theS are
we are waiting for anything you can send
They will hc sold as soon as they arrive
So with such prosperity must we cluSe
the factories and put so many people ld't'
or instruct our managers to get IN toucu
with those countries to obtain orders from
them and keep the factories WORKING

And thy gold shall return moro precious
Free from every spot and stain:
FOR the gold must he tried ~ fire.
And heart must he tried by pain

Let thy hand he firm and steady
DO not let thy spirit quail;
But wait iii the trial Is over
And take thy heart again;
For as sold Is tried by fire,
So heart must DO tried by pain.
| shall know by the gleam and glitter.

bN your hearts calm strength in loving,
or the fire they have had to bear
Beat on true heart for ever,
Shine bright strong golden chain;
And bless tho cleansing fire,

THE retirement of the Boston SYM
phony Orchestra from the Philadel-
phia' concert fold after so many years
comes as distinct shock. perhaps
mostly 10 tradition since the Boston
orchestra has accomplished little music
ally in tho last rev years.
It was tho Boston Symphony OrChCs-
ira, in the dHvS when It stood certainly
without a serious rival in this country,
and with but few in the world. which
performed most Of the work in educating
the peopl" Of the Fast as TO what
great orchestra should ho. In those
days, now long gone, every concert Of
the then great organization here was
completely sold out and so popular were
n" concerts that second series was
decided upon, to ho given on Wednesday
evenings, IN" original series, then n-
now, being given on Monday evenings.
our own orchestra had started by this
time and II was more than hintcd in
certain quarters that this had something
to do with the Boston second series, as
well as The irritating paraleling Of the
Philadelphia programs which the organi-
zation from IN" Hub ndUlg"d in for some
tim"
Tn" second series. however. was never
success, and was soon discontinued.
But tn" original Monday evening series
kept up with but few signs of falling
off IN interest until Nh" practical disrlIp-
ton Of tn" organization shortly aftCr'we
entered tn" war.

For labor to claim these during a strike.
they would have to make every move legal
and there would lie many-and agree to
arbitrate tho question. and would only ap-
ply then in case the employer refused to
prbltrate As no employer could refuse ar
btration under these conditions, strikes
would almost disappear (by compulson).
Federal employment agencies should be
given power to offcr n Job to any applicant
for out.of-work pay in lieu thereof, and
whether It was strictly In his particular
trade or calling would not matter. This
would tend TO remove such evils as prevail
in the soft coal trade. where 500. 600 men
are employed half time and where $50 900
employed full time could do the work. while
Warmers we're needing the surplus $50. 600

TO MUSIC LOVERS

0tT Of larE" number of answers
- received TO the invitation for opinions
as TO the two symphony programs pub.
lished in this column last Saturday,
vary few agreed with the choice Of the
numbers selected. There was n large
proportion Of those who answered who
thought that the symphony Pathetique
of TsChaikowslty should have the place
OF honor on the ideal symphony pro-
gram. The Fifth Of Beethoven also was
popular, a. was the Schubert I'm
finished" and the New World Of Dvorak.
while a few preferred the Cesar Franck
symphony
Th" choice ran almost exclusively TO
III" moro emotional symphonic compo-
Sitions, with the brilliantly orChostratcd
overiuros and melodic general numbers.
\ goodly number of letters expressed n
preference for singer to an inStru-
mentaliSt as sulOiSt.
In So far as the answers showed any
thing. Il was that the strictly classic
symphonies AMI other orchestral com.
positions are more admired in the alb
StraCt than in the concrete Perhaps
the hectic spirit Of the times in when
"" Nv" had something TO do with this
viewpoint, although II must be admitted
on tho other hand, that great classic
compositions now hold higher position
than they have ever been accorded be-
fore
Ono Of the Interesting points Of the

virtually remained unchanged since the

L,nd something held us there In thral.
Like to the bondage OF n tomb.
We quite forgot the wide and pleasant land

We spoke in words Of deepest scorn
or mortals that chose to hate,
or ways and deeds and human fate
And or tho wrongs that we had borne.
we failed to see the sky above the house.

And all the while that we were there.

Ana songs of gladness filled the air
