was the fact that she is overload

determined to work his reinforce

If building up reserve power was
the strategy behind Billy's decision
to deploy his recruits exactly 80
minutes of the contest, then he
didn't fail to stretch his point.

vinced, at least by half time when
the Wolverine yearlings led 30-16

varsity, that competition was out.
AS soon as this realization came, IT
also became evident everyone

boards and flash their fancy ma

Music To My Ears

known for his "Bolero" but should
be better known than he is for
some of his piano music, songs
and other orchestral music.
The biography is chiefly of in
terest to us because it settles the
question of whether Ravel was
Jewish. Jacob De HaaS's "Ency-
clOpedia of Jewish knowledge"
for instance, lists Ravel, while
other Jewish reference works do
not. When the composer died, on
Dec. ~, 1887, some Jewish papers
referred to RaveI as being a jew.
Miss Goss's biography clears up
the question in one paragraph:
MANY people, especially in the
United States, seem to be under
the impression that Maurice RaveI
was of Jewish ancestry. Roland
Manuel, distinguished biOgrapher
of the French composer, believes
that this may be due to the fact
that is name is similar to Rabbele
(little rabbi), and also because
Ravel was closely associated with
a number of Jewish people during
his lifetime, and composed songs
i'm Hebrew style. But actually
there is no suggestion in any ex-
listing record to indicate that
there was Jewish blood on either
side of Ravel's family"
We might add that some of
RavePs Hebrew-style music-like
"Chanson Hebraique" and "Deux
Melodies Hebraiques," including
"Kaddisch" and "L'Enigme Eter-
nelle"- indistinguishable from
authentic" Jewish music. Many
of his selections were written for
or dedicated to Jews. In 1881,
he wrote a piano concerto for left
hand alone at the request of Paul
Wittgenstein, Austrian pianist
who had lost his right arm in the
war.
That RaveI was not Jewish will
not diminish one whit our enjoy
ment of his music or of Miss
GOss's admirable biography.

Andrews Family
100 Years in Florida

ORLANDO, Feb.-(SpeciaD -
Supporters of United States Sen
ator Charles o. Andrews are not
concerned about his determine
ton to remain on duty at Wash
ington while aspirants for his
post increase their activity
throughout the State.
They point out he not only has
won new friends by his devotion
to duty, but that those who have
stood by him through the years
are certain to continue steadfast.
Senator Andrews record alone,
they insist, fully justifies their
loyalty, and they add there are
many other reasons for his num-
erous lasting friendships.
Born and reared in West Flor
ida, the Senator gained part of
his education in South Florida, in
Polk County. He taught many
hundreds of Floridians in public
schools of the State while finan-
cling his education. He served as
a member of the judiciary in Wal
ton County, as well as in Central
Florida, where he also practiced
law. He also served as a Su-
preme Court Commissioner at Tai
lahassee.
Member of a pioneer Florida
family, which has paid taxes in
Florida for more than a century,
Senator Andrews not only knows
Florida and thousands of Floridi-
ans, but he knows their problems.
This, his supporters assert, ac-
counts for his ability to give them
understanding service.

Siemens is building the per-

organization that has no dues, no

Two Watchwords.
The keystone of Alcoholics Anon
ymous is religion-with religious
freedom. An A. A. must recognize
that there is power greater than
himself, and that from that power
comes assistance along the read to
recovery. Honesty and sincerity
are two of the watchwords. The
former topers recognize that great
failing of many drunks-the failure
to be honest with themselves about
their drinking.
Founders of the movement wrote
their own case histories into a book,
alcoholics Anonymous, that car
ries its message. The chapter, "How
1t Works." begins with this state
ment:
Rarely have we seen a person
fail who has thoroughly followed
