TO PLAY MODERN
HUNGARIAN MASTERPH. CE


The first number will be a COM
position of Bella Bartok, one of the
youngest and most modern of Hun
garian composers whose works have
created a Juror among critics and
musical fundamentalists.
His product is modern music of
the most brilliant type, developed
with highly original ideas. The
second feature of the program will
be an Italian serenade by Hugo
Wolf, another modern, Of Viennese
strain, who made great mark for
himself, particularly in developing
music based on the poems of
Goethe and the French, Italian and
Spanish poets. The final quartet
on the program is one of Mozart's
most conventional compositions
and one that is regarded among his
greatest contributions to music.
The weekly concert of the United
States Marine Band from WRC
and the appearance Of Gladys Rice
with the MaXwellians from WIZ
appear to be the next best points
for dial twisters to tune, to our
way OF thinking. The hand con-
cert beginning at o'clock will pre-.
sent brass sextette playing the

suite Of Debussy's that begins with

Way to DeSpotiSn1

One thinks of Caesar. fallen at
the foot Of Pompey's statue; Of
Marat stabbed while in his bath Of
Lincoln shot down at the moment
when his great task seemed COM
pleted and his first chance to rest
was at hand; and one tries to recall
a single assassination that did any
good.
Not that assassins always have
been common killers, or have lacked
plausible excuses, but that progress
is not to be had by the wanton de-
struction of human life.
Brutus may have been as honor
able as a murderer could be when
he struck to save Rome from die
tatorship, but he only paved the
way for a despotism.
Charlotte Corday may have been
moved by the illusionment that she
could stop the reign OF terror with
a dagger, but she only made it a
little easier for Napoleon to lead
Europe in the bloodiest war dance
of modern history.
John Wilkes Booth may have been
crazy enough to believe that he
spoke the truth when he cried "sic
semper tyranis,' after shooting
Lincoln, but he only destroyed the
best friend the South had.

Similarly depressed from too much reading of poll

There will be other headiners next month and the

Mexico's Tragedy

America mourns with Mexico Sorrow brings the

Obregon.
The spontaneous outpouring Of sympathy by the
American people and Government the heroic
death of the fier Captain Carranza, whose funeral
professional is crossing this country today, is
ure of the good will between these sister republics
It was Obregons privilege to strive as public
figure in pedestrian ways for the understanding
between the two nations symbolized by the flash and
sacrifice of the young aviator.
For the Presdent-elect had shared and ratified
the agreement of Ambassador Morrow and President
Gales which lifted the threat of intervention Obre
gon personally helped establish the present official
relations of mutual respect and friendship.
The United States Government contemplated with
assurance and qualification the Obregon administra
ton, which to have begun next December. Ameri
can business men had confidence in him. And the
American people, knowing less about him, in
the main sympathetic, because they believed him a
man of the people.

Since that time it has about worn
itself out as an epidemic, and ap-
pears in the form Of occasional

Prof. Flexner is inclined to be-
lieve that it is possible that the
great wave of German immigration
between 1900 and 1905 may have
brought the disease to the Atlantic
coast cities Of the United states.
Epidemic meningitis is caused by
a small round germ first isolated in
1887. The germ may live on the
mucous membrane Of the nose Of
man and is transmitted from one
person to another.
Before the discovery Of the serum

Spreads Hate, Alarm

They will take him out and stand
him against the wall. after wiring
ing from him all the information
it is possible to get, and folks will
say he has paid the price Of his
folly.
That is sheer nonsense. He can
not pay the price. cannot repair
the damage he has done, cannot
calm the confusion he has wrought,
cannot restore the situation he has
destroyed
It is Mexico that will pay-MeX-
leo, with her confidence shaken, her
hopes blasted, her anger aroused,
her feeling of security gone.
Putting aside what the nation
may suffer, there will be a thousand
widows and 10000 orphans to satisfy
the thirst for vengeance.
One of the most curious weak
nesses Of human nature is our in
ability to realize the consequences
Of invoking death as a political rem
edy, the evil effect of planting the
idea of murder in the minds of mil
lions of people by killing their idol.
Obregon is dead but his friends
are alive-alive with hate and
alarm.
There are hundreds of marked
men in Mexico today, and the man
who shot Obregon marked them.

die because they are helped by
serum treatment.
When the germs get into the body
they are carried to the spinal cord
and there they attack the covering
Of the cord, spreading even to the
covering of the brain.
These coverings are called men
inges which gives TO the disease
the name meningitis Of infamma-
ton Of the meningeS.
In this disease we know then
definitely the cause and we have I
specific medical treatment which,
if used early, will produce favorable
results.
Sometimes severe paralysis re-
suit from this disease.
With modern methods of treat
ment it is possible to lower the in
cidence Of paralyses and it is pos
sible also by study Of the paralyzed
nerves and muscles to secure favor
able results in the matter of devel-
opment and movement after the
disease has passed.

AS the two revolve about each other we sometimes
get the full light of the bright component. The vari
able is then at maximum brillance. Later, the dark
component gets between us and the bright one
eclipsing it. The variable is then at minimum
brilliance.
The other three types of variables are true vart-
abes that is single stars of fuctuating brilliance.
These include the short-period variables or Ceph-
eds the irregular variable and the long period
variables.
The star Delta in the constellation is the Cepheid
type of variable Several theories have been advanced
to explain this type.
One theory is that the light is periodically dimmed
by the formation of spots like the spots
Another theory is that the star is in unstable con-
dition and that it is expanding and contracting like
huge balloon.
They are called Cepheids because Delta in the
constellation Cepheus is one of the best known Of
the type. The irregular variabes their indi
Gates do not have regular periods in which the change
in brilance takes place The variation in most
cases, however, is not very great.
This type Of variable is found only among the giant
red stars the largest stars in the universe These
stars also thought to be the youngest stars
hapS their instability is merely sign of their youth
The last type the long-period. They have
periods ranging from 65 to 800 days.
Some astronomers think that they are in reality
dying stars that they growing cool that crust
is beginning to form their molten surfaces Such
a crust would dim the star.
However, the gases underneath would rise in tenn
perature and pressure until they broke through
causing an increase in the brance of the star Then
the crust would begin to form again. However, this
theory is little difficult to maintain in the face
Of the regularity Of the light changes.

Bridge Play
Made Easy
BY w. W. WENTWORTH

Authorizations: A---ace; king, O.
than 1O)
A s THE bidding ends and the
IN contract is declared, the first
question which you naturally ask Of
yourself is, How can my partner
and I win the greatest possible
number of tricks with the cards We
hold?"
There is nothing mysterious about
the playing of your hand. Neither
genius nor magician's skill is re-
quired.
What must you know is how to
manipulate your cards to your best
advantage-you must understand
the mechanics of the game.
This knowledge can be gained by
any person who devotes a little
time to the study of bridge methods
and watches others play.
AS in bidding there are certain
fundamental principles governing
the playing of the cards. These
principles you must master if you
want to be an average winner.
You must know what card to lead
and what card to play after your
opponent leads; you must know
when to take trick and when to
sacrifice one so that you may cap
ture more tricks later.
Many conventions, rules, tables
and suggested plays are included in
this series. To teach them all by
rote is not the function of the fol
lowing chapters.
The authors aim is rather to de-
velop a rational understanding OF
the working tools" Of the game. In
bridge it is not sufficient to know
merely how to accomplish a result
If you are to derive the maximum
pleasure out Of playing, demand the
reason for every suggested play.
The greater your desire to know
the logic of the maneuver, the
keener will be your interest in i'm
proving your game and playing
better bridge.
