7opek0S Musical Needs

ivalue,-things thru which they are
taught the basic principles ana ulri-
mate value of the fine art of success
full cooperation.
| We must have more musical pos
sibilities provided by the civic bodies
or this city. 1t is a pity that for most
of our musical entertainments we
have to hire outsiders. We hava 10
| bow in humiliation before little town
such as Lindsborg, Kan, whose pec-
pie are no more musical than Topeka
people. and yet they have focused
upon them the eyes of practically he
whole world because of their lnagnifI-
cent musical organizations.
1t is not the college nor she schools
alone that are accomplishing thing s
musically in Lindsborg. 1t is the
community spirit.
Just two weeks ago we had a con-
vincing demonstration of what can be
done by public spirited citizens in put
ting over a community proposition. 1
refer to the advent of the Little Sym
phony. Let me here bluntly ask an
other question-why does Topeka not
have an orchestra?
True, we have a high school orches-
ira. in my judgment the best in the
state. But remember this did not
have it's inception in nor does it have
its support from civic organizations.
All of my readers should know that
this orchestra is a Topeka high school
organization and the school authori-
sistantss can bag all the credit for it,
What do the civic organizations ex-
pect the young players to do with
their music when they get thru high
school and college? Is it not pertinent
to ask why there are no steps tai ken TO
provide the possibilities of an or
ganiZation into which these young
players, refer to, may naturally grow
via college and high school orches-
tras?
The question comes to my mind
whether the business men or the mu-
sicians of Topeka are to blame for
,this lamentable condition.
Primarily, I fear the musicians are
to blame. 1t appears that if any one
musician tries to take the lead and
sharpen their axes and forthwith pro-
coed to chop off his head. This hap
pened during my stay in Topeka, four
times with four different musicians.
In the second place the business
men are to blame because they have
enough intelligence and are interested
enough in the welfare of our city to
notice such things and to recognize
their far reaching demoraliZing effect.
Now then if this is true, and If the
the musicians have to plead guilty to
the Indictment of lacking co-opera-
ton, then will some business man or
group of business men please under
take to provide Topeka with an or
chestra and a juvenile band? We are
in desperate need of both and we have
more material than we need.
So for the sake of the tomorrow
of our children and for the sake of
the promotion of their civic pride, L
submit these thoughts for the con-
sideration of Topeka's tireless, wide
awake. civic organizations, as well as
for the citizenry in general.

Editor State Journal.
| This article is written not in the
shirt of criticism of any person or
/ nersons. 1t is contributed with the
wish and the hope that it may be use
| ful somewhere to some person or an
i organization interested in the educa-
tionaI and recreational welfare of this
community.
When last fall the Kansas Free
Fair staged the successful juvenile
band contest, there were ten bands
from over the stSte who contested for
lhonOrs or prizes. There was no To-
Ipeka juvenile bhnd to participate in
/ such a splendid educational feature.
When, during last summer and fall,
Miss Grace V. Wilson, w. A. Biby and
their committee CROPPED around for a
fitting organization thru which to pro-
vide the musical menu suitable to the
exact needs, in their Judgment, of our
school children and the grown folks
of the city, they had to engage the Lit
tie Symphony of Kansas City for the
obvious reason that Topeka has no
organization of her own that could fill
the bill.
In bygone days instead of having to
hunt for orga nizauOnS to make music,
our city was placed on the musical
map by the Modoc club and by Mar
shalTs band, both of which are still
alive. However, they cannot be re-
quired to fill every conceivable need
along musical lines in our community
today.
MarshalTs band cannot contest in
Juvenile band contest. Also, Mar
shalTs band needs new material from
time to time and unless public spirited
citizens provide means of filling this
need, Marshall's band will deteriorate
into a recruiting organization instead
of the organization of old, clothed in
magnificent finesse with an" enviable
reputation all over America. Let us
not lose sight of the fact that nothing
is too good to deteriorate. Even the
best of single roofs need to be re-
shingled once in while.
AS to the Modoc club, there is no
like organization in the country. With
its reputation already established, this
organization should have smooth sail
ing and an open door anywhere to
give artistic entertainments. The club
should have more local recognition.
Then there is the Security Benefit
association band which delivers the
goods"
But neither of these is a Juvenile
band. I wish to ask a direct question
why does Topeka not have a juve-
nile band? Civic organizations have
growth of our city. Do they not real
ize that a city with all the factories
and other business enterprises that
they promote. even with ideas of city
beautifying experts, would become a
madhouse of sordid commercialism I'M
less the balancing ingredients of edu-
cation and recreation are provided for p?
Do they not realize that the old heads
who are the business men of today
will be but marks in the cemetery to-
morrow and their places in business
will be filled by their sons and daugh-
tiers? Everybody wants to make this
city a better place, aFtistically as well
as commercially, in which to live.
Topeka's children need to be inter
ested more in things that have re-

to His final coming to judge the world
in accordance with scriptural testi-
mOny.
No certainty exists as to Just when
the season of Advent began to be
observed. There is a possible refer
ence to it in a canon of a council at
Saragossa in the year $50. The first
authoritative reference to it is in the
Synod of Lerida in the year SPA. Since
the sixth century it has been rec
ognized as the beginning of the Chris
tan year. Its observance has been en-
Joined with the view of directing the
thought of Christian believers to the
first coming of Christ as Saviour and
to his second coming as Judge. and
among Western Christians at least has
been kept as season of penitence
during which dancing and festivities
were forbidden, fasting enjoil4ed and
purple yestments worn in the church
services. This strict rule is now some
what relaxed. In the Eastern Church
Advent lasts from st. Martins day,
November IL and in other churches
from the Sunday near St. Andrews
day, November 80, till Christmas.
In Other Countries.
Popular observance in many coun-
tries, some of which still survive, long
marked Advent. In England and the
northern countries, there was the GUS
tom among poor women to carry
around Advent images dressed, one to
represent Christ and the other the
Virgin Mary; and a half penny was
expected from everyone to whom these
were exhibited, while bad luck was
thought to menace the household of
any not visited by the doll bearers
before Christmas Eve. Normandy
farmers still employ children under
twelve to light fires in fields and or
chards during Advent and thus drive
out vermin likely to damage the crops.
In Italy in the last days of Advent

There is one Misrepresentation I'M
der which many persons labor with
This is that it is q direct command
to the partners to take it out.
Now, there is no such thing as
bossing the partner at auction to such
what you want him to do, because no
matter how sure you are that what
you want woul. be the best thing for
the combined hands you may be mis-
taken, as his hand may be of very
different character from anything
you imagine.
Like all other plays at bridge, the
double is simply a suggestion These
suggestions are conveyed to the part
ner at all stages of the play, but he
is not obliged to follow them if he
thinks he can do better otherwise.
Your suggestion is based on your cards
and what you imagine to be the pro
bable complexion of his hand but
you may be wrong, or he may see
something that you cannot see.
To take some common examples:
When you lead an ace-king suit
against a trump contract you expect
him to play down and out if he has
only two of the suit, to show he can
ruff the third round But suppose
for some reason or other he does not
want to use one of his trumps in this
manner?
When you lead a long suit against
a no-trumper you expect him to un-
block, so as to get out of your way.
But suppose he has some use for the
high card that you want him to give
up, such as a valuable re-entry for
a suit of his own, which you know
nothing about? On the same prin-
cipIe, he may expect you to lead your
fourth best against a no-trumper, but
suppose you think the information
would be more valuable to the de-
clarer than to your partner?
The slavish adherence to the rule
of always answering the double leads
to the loss of many points in penal
ties. Players do not stop long enough
to think out the situation or do not
give sufficient attention to the psy-
chology of the bidders who double and
are doubled.
1t is laid down as rule that one
need not answer a double that is taken
out by the intervening player unless
with a hand or suit strong enough to
do so in spite of the intervening bid.
When it is a suit that is doubled the
rule is not to go to no-trumps without
at least one sure stopper in the suit.
yet many players take a chance that
the suit will not be led and do go to
no-trumps without a stopper-psy-
chology OF the leader being taken into
account.
The greatest latitude for Judgment
is probably in answering the double
of fourth-hand ask for a lead. Few
players stop TO think of the possibili-
ties of the situation and also of the
caliber of the player who is doubled.
Take this case:
