opposition from some who believe
that, even so, there are not enough
opportunities for students to be
heard and to try out their abilities.
The point, on the whole, has
nothing to do with students who
have no right to expect recon-
pense when they are not sure of
what they have to offer. But there
is a large class of musicians who
are known for the quality of their
work yet who can only keep in
the practice of public playing by
accepting engagements without pay.
They are ready and qualified to
earn money with their music, but
the occasions when they can do so
are few and far between.
Since there are several groups in
the city sincerely anxious to pro-
mote the musical standard and to
encourage the younger generation
!. to make as good artists of them
selves as possible, there should be
a combined effort to solve this prob
lem which is holding back the ac-
quiring of the wherewithall for con-
tinued development. The only
sources in every community through
which some income can be had
by public appearances are the clubs
and organizations which include a
musical program in most of their
special affairs and in nearly all
of their smaller ones. But they
are not accustomed to pay for talent
and usually make no provision for
it in their budget. They can al
ways count on finding some one
who is willing to appear for nothing.
The argument of many teachers
is that they want their pupils to
be heard and that they and the
pupils do not mind the fact that
no fee will be paid. This is a per-
fectly justifiable attitude, but when
it invades the field where those of
professional status might function
it is not right. 1t has also been
said that many musicians would
offer almost anything in order to
have the opportunity to be heard.
Every advanced musician with
pride in his work will feel that
he has a right to some payment,
considering that only rarely will
education have been given free.
Just as lawyers, doctors and other
professionals lay out a large sum
Of money for instruction and pass
an apprentice stage, so also does
the musician, and the apprentice
ship consists in playing, as students,
for nothing. After that they have
a right to expect to be paid for
their services.
All this can be remedied by diff
ferentiating the students from the
professionals or those ready to be
classified as such. If club wishes
to have a student perform, the men,
bers should understand that they
are hearing a student and not one
who can be criticized as finished
in his work. If they wish some
thing better they should pay for it.
If they are importuned by inferior
musicians who call themselves ar
lists or by friends or members wish
ing to promote some acquaintance,
there should be some way of their

issued the edict that chicken and
other brittle bones were forbidden to
dogs That was the opening wedge
in the war on bones. Now some
writer's 60 so far as to say that bones
should be kept from dogs entirely.
Some mysterious digestive malady
is sure to beset dogs who feast on
bones, although what that malady
may be is undisclosed.
Bones Seem Harmless.
Better, far better, to let Fido do
without bones, and buy calcium
phosphate or ground bone meal to
supply the nutritional lack hereto
fore supplied by bones. Better, much
better. to spend time each week
polishing Fido's teeth with abrasives
and blunt metal instruments than to
let him take care Of his own dental
needs by chewing on succulent bones.
Let Fido chase rubber ball, de-
crepit shoe, or even the neighbors
cat, rather than have him repose
in the back yard in peace and with
q bone!
Yet, regardless of this latest edict
against bones, one of the leading
dog breeders in this community, a
man who probably has seen more
dogs to their championships in re-
cent years than any other breeder
near here, naively confesses that he
always leaves a little meat on his
Sunday dinner drumsticks for his
favorite dogs.
And in nearly = quarter CEN

1t was explained that, while the
dogs gastronomic juices could take

walls before the bones
were dissolved. That sounded per-

each other in 1894 and have met 81

be going into the game, they nearly
always manage to make 1t close
and hard fought contest.
Howard has won IA games, Lin

they appear more evenly matched
Both have had a mediocre season,
