d Is the
Anniversary of
R~UBINSTEIN's BIRTH


On Nov. %, 1929, Anton Rubinstein,
famous Russian pianist and composer.
was born near Dubossary. Russia, Of
Jewish parentage.
His mother commenced his musical
education when he was four, but in
two years he had exhausted her
knowledge. At II he was sent to the
Paris conservatory where he soon at
tracted the attention Of List and
Chopin.
After giving concerts and teaching
in Berlin and Vienna, Rubinstein re-
turned to Russia in 1848 and settled
in st. Petersburg. Here he came I'M
der the patronage of the Grand
Duchess Helen, and for the following
eight years studied and wrote assidu-
ously. He founded q conservatory
and organised q musical society. In
q world concert tour, undertaken
when he was So, he was hailed as one
Of the greatest pianists of all time.
Though Rubinstein's burning am
bition was to be recognized as a great
composer, his works are not consist
emily great. Since the beginning OF
the twentieth century his name has
practically disappeared from the con-
cert programs.

The Tribune's policies.
American Honesty

That honesty is not only the best but the most popular
policy among American purchasers Is indicated by re-
ports on the nations retail credit business revealing
losses Of only s~ix-tentts of l per cent. Inasrnuch as the
gross business done on credit amounts to 20 billion dol
lars annually, the dollars and cents loss Is, of course, still
q considerable item but the amount of poor accounts
handled by each retailer is miraculously small.

first conducted by the department of commerce, and SO
1t Is impossible to estimate whether retail credit hazards

Whichever way they have veered, however, there should
be consolation for the retailer in the knowledge that 99.4
per cent of the men and women who cross his threshold
are honest.

Politics Has Improved

It is hard to find anyone who will say q good word for
politics. In ordinary talk. the phrase "a political trick"
implies q somewhat unprincpled and constituencies bit
of chicanery, and the expression, lust a politician Is
far from complimentary. Nor Is there any reason to
doubt that this attitude toward politics is pretty largely
justified by the facts.
Nevertheless, politics has improved imn1easurably dur
ing the past generation and If still it Is not all that 1t
ought to be-, it is q thing Of sweetness and light COM
pared to some Of its former manifestations.
Abundant proof Of this is contained in George Fort
Millions recent book, 1.-THE Age Of Hate" a biography Of
President Andrew johnson. 1t makes the improvement
obvious.
The book tells how President johnson tried to in
troduce a little tolerance and humanity into the post
war reconstruction measures in the southland and how
the radical Republican clique that controlled congress
fought to the last ditch to prevent him.
Toward the middle of Johnsons term these worthless
decided to impeach him. A special committee from the
house Of representatives held lengthy hearings. which
quickly made it plain that he had committed no i'm
~peachable offense. Nevertheless. impeachment articles
we're voted, and the case went to the senate for trial.
Then began one o fthe sorriest ~spectacles In American
politics. The rulers Of the senate callously pre-judged
the case and announced gleefuly that they would throw
the criminal in the white house" out of his job In short
order. Senator Charles Sumner Of Massachusetts re-
marked that he did not need to listen to the evidence, as
lie was going to vote for q conviction anyhow.
The trial broke down all Of the flhnsy charges against
johnson, but the attack continued undated. Polls were
made. and it was found that one vote was lacking to
make the two-thrds majority necessary to convict. So
seven Republican senators who were believed ready to
vote for ~acquittal were subjected to terrific pressure
Brides were offered, threats were passed, plots were laid
the politicians stopped to unbelievable depths in q vain
effort to force one Of these seven senators to swallow his
principles and vote for. conviction.
1t is an ugly story; and the one reaction that must
come to every reader Is the thought that 1t could not pos
sibly be duplicated today. We have some small men
in politics and public sentiment countenances some
shabby tricks; but nothing as bad as the johnson i'm
parchment case could happen today.
There may have been a golden age" somewhere in the
Republics youth. A study of history, however, inclines
one to the suspicion that the golden age lies ahead Of
us. not behind us.

The Decline of Dueling

This Is q hard world, and every day something happens
to destroy another Of our cherished beliefs. The latest
catastrophe Of this kind is in respect to the glamorous
old custom Of dueling.
The other day two Hungarian noblemen. having had q
disagreement. went out to fight a duel with SWORDS They
hated one another bitterly. and they were fine represent
atives Of the old order. They should have furnished a
magnificent example Of the duel at its most romantic
stage.
But what happened? They fought for two hours. with
swords, without hurting one another. Then they dropped
their swords and went to it with their fists. Their sec.
onds managed to separate them and they resumed the
fight with swords-until, at last, a doctor examined thu
pulse Of one Of the duelists. announced that his heart
was thumping too rapidly, and called the whole thing off
This, obviously. is all wrong. No character out o.
Dumas ever fought that kind Of a duel. Another ilu.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Asthma and Tuberculosis

Question: G. A. M. writes: Il am
q boy fourteen years old. Have had
asthma rel since I was three months
old. Do you think it will ever run
into tuberculosis"
Answer: We do see a few cases of
asthma which are complicated with
tuberculosis, but It is by no means a
rule that asthma turns into tubercu-
losts. Why not cure up the asthma,
develop strong lungs and avoid tu-
.berculosis? Send a large self-ad-
dressed stamped envelope for special
articles on the cure of asthma and
the development of a strong chest.
Currants
Question: Mrs. e. asks: MAY cur.
rants be used In place of raisins in
your menus?"
Answer: Yes, especially the sweet
er varieties.
Acid In System
Question: Mrs. N. F.. p. asks:
What causes a numb, Scorched- like
feeling on my tongue, my gums, and
the top of my mouth? If it is acid
IN the system, kindly tell me if
oranges and lemons are counteracters
OF acid. Also, does acid in the system
affect ones eyes so that it makes one
feel as though she were going around
in circles?"
Answer: The condition often called
an acid system" is really due to a
reduction Of the hoods alkalinity.
The use of citrus fruits will help to-
correct this condition, principally
through stimulating the flow of morel

BEER MAY WRECK

Yon Hindenburs Forced to h. tcrVene to Halt Tax Debate

Berlin, April R-Beer today threatened to wreck the new, gov elnmcnt of Chancellor Brucning. President Non Hindenburg was forced to intervene in an attempt to save the situation.
 The Bavarians in the budget con- mittec declined to endorse a 75 per cent beer tax demanded by Finance Minister Moldcnhaucr. A Bavarian deputy complained that it was be- coming tho custom in the Reich stag to poke fun at beer taxation.
 He advised the Reichstag to take the subject seriously since in Bavar- ia, beer is a primary constituent for the nourishment of the inhabitants.
