Merry England Bestows

LONDON.
There Is q music boom on in England
at the present time, and the musicians
and the music industry are enjoying q
period OF great prosperity. nOtwith-
standing the general trade depression.
The reason for this Is the great inter
est in musical entertainments for the
public and the popularity Of dancing.
Musicians have suffered little from
unemployment during the dark days in
other trades and businesses. Out OF
the 5000 musicians who specialists in

The fact that there is dancing prac-

give the answer STILL Mr. Edison isn't Just like
this Greek sphinx. To be sure, he's been asking
puzzng questions of all who read, but instead of
destroying anybody he gives Jobs to those who an
swer-provided they are college graduates.
And Mr.. Edison and the sphinx are different In
another way; the sphinx asked this easy question
'What creature walks in the morning upon four
feet at noon upon two and at evening on three2"
That's easy compared with some of Mr.. Edison's
questions In his second QUESTIONABLE. Here are
two questions, for example,:
'You have only $40 In the world, and are play
ing poker with man you have never seen before
On the first deal he holds pat hand. You have
three eights after the draw. There is 30 cents in
the pot He bets quarter. What are you going
to do and why2"
"What is spiegeleisen2'
"Now, it's easy to give an exact answer to the
second because the substance mentioned Is white
cast-iron containing manganese But what's the
answer to the first question? Is there any answer
that can be upheld as better than any other an
swer? Probably four poker players would give as
many answers.
The New York Tribune answers the poker cues
ton and says the reply as probably as good as
any to be found anywhere. 1t is one of the few
questions to which expert knowledge was applied
The answer represents the refined judgment of the
foremost poker players of the Tribune's STAFF
Here's the answer:
"If we had only $40 In the world. Mr. Edison
would never catch us In poker game, even with
our own blood relatives. Assuming that the cues
ton is not to be answered this way 1t seems obvi
GUS that no poker player In such position should
pay quarter to call pat hand with only 90 cents
in the pot. We wCIld remark casually believe
you, brother and wait to see what the next deal
would bring forth"
Well, the question now is how much do the
foremost poker players of the Tribunes staff know
about pokerf
The Tribune, however, appears to be more sue
cessful In answering questions that can be an
swered. good many inQuisitiye persons, includ-
ing considerable part of its staff devoted hours
of valuable time to answering the $50 questions
In the second QUESTIONABLE. though 1t Is specih-
cay stated that no guarantee goes with the an
swers. Here are some of the other questions to-
gether with the Trbune's informative and other
wise interesting answers:
Q. Suppose a certain low form of animal
brought forth single offspring once each hour and
that the offspring reproduced at the same rate as
the parent, starting as soon as 1t was one hour
old, how long would 1t take to get four In the
fourth generation. e., four great-grandchildren
of the parent? (The parent counts as the first
generation and the first offspring comes at the
end Of the first hour All the animals liye)
A-Four hours. Page Mrs. Sanger.
