THE advance in lighting eff
l. cheney from the suffering
pine knot used by the Pilgrim
fathers to the brilliant electricity
of today, the materials used as
illuminants and the devices which
held them, constitute a very in
teresting field for research and
provide an absorbing hobby.
Electricity is used so generally
today that other methods of
illustration seem remnants of
remote past, yet most of us are
intimately acquainted with gas
jets and kerosene lamps. Some
few persons even may remember
using whale oil and camphene
lamps and others will recall the
days of candle making, when
they helped mother thread the
wicks and pour the home-saved
grease into candle molds like the
one shown above.
The torch, the taper, the resin
Gus split, the pine knot and the fat
soaked rush which preceded the
candle rightfully belong far back
in the march of civilization, yet
the present generation is cognizant
of their use through stories of
pioneer life, since from necessity
our western pioneers reverted to
their use.

quite possible that a human being

who would admit it? The dill

such feelings, even from them

The wife in such a case might
convince herself that she was one

is destined to rate as one of the
greatest players of the country. He
carefully analyses every play. To-
days hand is an example of his
carefulnesS.
XXTEST opens the jack of spades.
w Now doesn't it seem natural
to play the queen from dummy? But
sometimes you do not always do the
natural thing and that is why con-
tract is a popular game.
Before playing to this trick, Mr..
Frank carefully analysed the hand
as follows:
IF I play the queen of spades,
East will win the trick with the ace.
Ii he will return a spade, I can dis
card a heart and make six odd. But
suppose he returns heart. Then
I may lose two heart tricks, which
will defeat my contract
IF I refuse to play the queen OF
spades from dummy and put on a
small spade, I do not think East
will overtake his partners jack.
Now, regardless Of what West plays,
I am bound to make my contract. "
Now, want you to look over the
hand and follow Mr.. Franks line OF
reasoning. Can't you see how care
full it is?
When a small spade is played
from dummy, East allows his part
ner to hold the trick, and all West
can do is to cash the ace of hearts,
which he did. If he had not, OF
course, one heart would have been
discarded on the queen of spades
and the other on the fourth club.

which eats its way into human con-
seriousness, and whatever we give it
to feed upon will determine whether
it will survive or die within us. To
rid ourselves entirely of such
primordial passion may be impos-
sible, but it should be possible for
us to recognize certain habits which
foster and increase it.
Cruelty to animals watching
them suffer-enjoying their tor
ments, making entertainment for
ourselves out of their captivity and
pain, is only an education for cru

IVN RESPONSE to your request,
the following remarks are sup
posed to be about my SYM
phony But I cannot resist
the desire to let your readers
see behind the scenes of the first
performance of an American SYM
phony:
Audience. orchestra, composer
ITO the composer sitting among
friends has come at last the hushed
fearful moment when the audience
has ceased applauding the conductor
and hundred trained musicians
wait for the first beat which will
start success or failure. He repeatedly
reminds himself that after all this
is only one concert. that he must
keep sense of proportion and not
take himself too seriously. Yet as
the orchestra plungeS its way through
the symphony which has taken
months of careful work, he lives
through a tortured lifetime, much.
I suppose, as a drowning man relives
his life in the last moment He is
aware that grim. silent, unseen ap-
pralser is also present in full dress:
The law of survival.
The audience apparently so nom
chalent and casual has -come from
varying distances in gala costume and
paid for seats. The gallery group
who thought twice before they stepped
up to the box Office the professional
group who frequent the balcony, the
comfortable circumstance" group

friends around them in their boxes.
came for variety of reasons, but all
came on the assumption that the
performance of that orchestra was
an event worthy of their attention.
There are deep implications behind
that assumption.
The orchestra seems SO sure of
itself The members must give that
impression. Each man is specialist
and his teachers teacher was a Spe-
cialist. But they. too, are on trial
They are on trial at every concert.
The economic and social destiny of
their families depend upon unmistak-
able success, the kind of success which
provokes conversation at the dinner
table, in the school room and at the
club. OF course, those musicians
down there rarely think such thoughts.
They are usually content to master
their instruments and satisfy their
leader, letting the course of events
from month to month determine their
lives. But, nevertheless, this concert
tonight is a subtle overtone of the
whole complex fabric of modern So
ciety.
They get through the first move
ment without mishaps. What a re-
lief. The audience is terribly tense,
