NATION LOSES MUSICAL GENIUS.

In the death of John Philip Sousa, the nation loses it's most widely known and it's most popular musical genius. Both bandmaster and as a composer. he is familiar to every civilized people In each of his fields of eminent endeavor he was unrivaled for the favor of his countrymen, In the realm of harmony for 65 years he was an active figure and for more than half a century con- spicuous leader His achievements can be emulated, but such talents as his are but seldom duplicated in the course of human progress.
 Genius buds early and flowers quickly. Extra ordinary mental endowment or exceptional artistry of any sort is evidenced in childhood. The natural gifts bestowed on Sousa proved no exception His proficiency manifest at the age of Is that he became a member of the United States Marine Band His development gained for him at B the position of first violin in the celebrated Offenbach Orchestra at 25 the conductorshp of the Marine Band and at 3S the signal leadership of his own organization.
 As young man. sausa attained eminence a composer His sobriquet of March King con ferred by foreign critics when he 31. His out put was diversified and prolific including band and orchestral pisces songs. suites and operas His crea- tions are known wherever there is musical instru- ment Without them, musical library can be complete Virtually all his compositions are char acterized by stirring strains. His marches put trumpets in the blood.
 Fortunately for his country and for the musical world Sousa was spared for a long life. In two wars. an organizer and instructor of Army and Navy bands he inspired forces on land and with patriotic zeal As band leader and composer, he carried to remote parts of the earth the joy and pleasure that of appreciation of the greatest and the best of all the arts.
 In passing Sousa leaves behind him in the worth and the multiplicity of his works a lasting monument to his memory.

ANOTHER CANCER "CURE"
 EXPLODED.

Early last year Dr. S G. T. Bendien a Dutch physician of prominence. published book in Ger many describing a blood-test clue that he said de- ected the existence of cancer tracing its cause to deficiency in components of the blood. He claimed remarkable success in treating patients with a serum. It is fair to him to say that he did not then claim to have discovered a cure Last May at The Hague Dr. Benden said his researches had led him to believe and ascertain that abnormal stability of the albumen in the blood caused a disposition to cancer He believed that every treatment should attempt to affect normal stability of the abumen and claimad this accomplished by his own serum.
 This ecure" caused considerable excitement and experts began serious study of it. Last September, Dr P c. Korteweg, Director of the Cancer Institute of Amsterdam, refused his support to the Benden remedy. Now a committee of cancer special ists at the University of Utrecht with report declaring the cure to be without value either in recognizing or fighting the disease The committee investigated the remedy for several months making experiments and tests from both the spectro- metrical and sociological viewpoints
 Thus is another hope of suffering humanity ex- poded. But the medical profession be depended continue it's researches Science does not cease it's researches because defeat but rather extends them. often learning as much by failure as by partial complete success. The effort to find a reliable for cancer, like that of tuberculosis will go forward unabated

THE RULE OF
 EIGHT

In Culbertsonis Blue Book or Bridge one of the most valuable chapters is that on The Rule oi Eight" as a close study of 1t vii make any person a better bidder It is based on the fact that tht so-called Honor Cards" will take eight of the thirteen tricks in- yariably The five tricks taken by the little cards are usually con strolled by the side that, has the best honors.
 6 The fact that the total bidding value of all defensive honors around the table at any bid and regardless of how they combine; is only about eight honor tricks, is of decisive value. in applying the process of elimination during the bidding A pass is often eloquent information Through the simple uses of the elim- nation process a player is aware at most stages of the bidding of the minimum honor strength, and consequent game or penalty ex- pectancies, held in partnership and opponents hands. ss..
 To determine the balance of strength in opponents hands, sim ply add the minimum of honor tricks shown by partners various bids or no bid, to honor tricks held in players own hands. The balance remaining after subtracting from eight or eight and one-half gives the measure of honor tricks held by opponents.
 A total of the honor tricks shown by opponents bids added to the players own hand, gives a fair measure of the honor strength held by partner, an important consid- eration when partner consistently passes. z
 We have quoted the above to show you how Culbertson has call culated the percentages in Bridge and set them forth clearly and usually with illustrations. Many of use who have been playing Bridge for years, have felt that there must be some yardstick for the common Bridge situations but never before has one come to our hand so easy to use and make clear ones sub store of knowledge.
