II believe that art must be rep
resentative of some vitality, of life,
but too many So-called modern
composers misconstrue the mean

DR.. Busch, one Of the worlds most
renowned conductors, explained
that many compositions today are
replete in angularities and severe
dissonances, composers of such
music evidently contending that
musical barbaricisn" reflects the
cacaphonies of the machine era.
Harmony in Machines
"But the machine era," said Dr.
Busch, lis not one Of angularities,
sharp points and confusion. 1t may
better be represented by circles,
arcs and harmony.
There is nothing barharic about
skyscraper, a locomotive or a
transatlantic liner. Each is a
smoothly-operating entity, and may
be taken as representative of the
machine-age. Why, then, should so
many modern composers contend
that realistic music must be tumul-

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-There is

there is in most modernistic jazz
compositions, in the opinion of DR..
Fritz Busch, director of the Stats

arrived in New York to conduct
thirty concerts with the New York
Symphony.
Although something of modern

 They will be concentrated at the marine bases at Quantico. Va. and San Diego. Cal An additional i've | hundred, for similar concentration, will be withdrawn from their pres ent assignment of guarding the mails on or before February IS.
 Recently an emergency marine battalion of marines was organized at San Diego. to be held for any con- ftingency that might arise. The de- tachment of 300 at Guam now Is un- der orders to move to Cavite. Phil ippine Islands, to be nearer the trouble zone in China, but thus far no orders have been issued to re- place them at Guam. Should the battalion now at San Diego be mov- ed to Guam. it's place presumably would be taken by the new detach- ment to be assembled from the men withdrawn from the mall guard.

 FOR ELECTRICIANS

 Were Carelessly Conducted

Examinations given recently to electricians were carelessly con- ducted. in the opinion of members of the common council committee appointed to look into the method of giving and marking the tests, at the first meeting last night.

 The committee discussed the sit uation for more than an hour, while examining the test papers. and be- fore adjourning decided to meet next Monday evening to go further into the matter. Those present last night were Aldermen D. l.. Nair and w. H. Judd, Councilmen Thomas W. Fay and w. s. Warner. Council man Warner presided.

Mr.. Whitehead, fourth hand, was

Mr.. Work could make game eleven
tricks at diamonds. However, Mr..
Whitehead bid one no-trump because,
with his holding, it seemed better to

Whitehead found himself confronted

outstanding spades, Mr.. whitehead
was sure Of but eight tricks-fwo

one spade-before losing or risking
the loss Of his second club stopper.
Finesse Shows Chance
Mr.. whitehead saw that he might
essay a spade finesse upon his first
trance into Dummy; IL successful,
not successful. Mr.. Lenz, winning
the spade trick, would immediately
clear his clubs and later probably
could take at least three club tricks,
which, with the ace OF hearts and
the spade trick already taken, would
kill Declarer's game.
II he led q heart first from
Dummy, thus establishing or making

Mr.. Lenz hold the ace of hearts. If
Mr.. Smith held the ace OF hearts,
Mr.. Whitehead, by two heart leads
from Dummy, could make two heart
tricks and eliminate the necessity of
even one spade finesse. Therefore
Mr.. Whitehead decided to try for two
heart tricks, holding the spade
finesse in reserve.
Having decided upon this plan,
Mr.. Whitehead played Dummy of
