MUSIC AND MUSICIANS; til} Clarence Desdunes.) — FUNDAMENTAL OF TECHNIC What is the fundamental of a perfect Violin technic? A natural question or today. My answer is “Absolute pitch, | first of all.’’ Many a violinist plays a difficult passage, sounding every' note; and yet it sounds out of tune. The first and second movements of the Beethoven concerto have no double stops; yet they are extremely diffi cult to play. Why? Because they call for absolute pitch: they must be played in perfect time so that each tone stands out in all its fullness and clarity like a rock in the sea. And without a fundamental control of pitch such a master work will always beyond the violinist’s reach. Many a player has the facility; but without perfect intonation he can never at Clarence Desdunes tain the highest perfection. On the other hand, any one who can play a single phrase in absolute pitch, has the first and great essential. Its control depends first of all on the ear, and a sensitive ear finds dif fcrences in shading; It bids the violin ist play a trifle sharper, a trifle flat ter, according to the general karmon'c color of the acomanement; it leans him to observe a difference, when the harmonic atmosphere demands it, be tween a C sharp in the key of E major and a D flaf in the same key. Every player finds some phases of te’hnic easy and others difficult. For In stance, I have never had to work hard for quality of tone when I wish to get certain color effects, they come I have no difficulty in expressing my feelings, my emotions in tone.

Boiling Last week we took up the subject of oven roasting and this week we shall see what results we will get from boiling. First, we must bear in mind two things vis: that we must .always pnt fresh meat on to boil in hot water and salt meat In cold or tepid water. We put fresh meat on in hot water because by this method we harden the surface of the meat and seal the pores and thus prevent the juices from es caping. The water should be boiling hot to start and then allowed to reduce to a simmer. If allowed to continu#1 at a high boiling point for very long it would cause the meat to be tough and undesirable. After the first few minutes therefore the temperature, should be reduced to about 175 de-: grees F. The vessel used should be just large enough to hold meat and allow same to be just covered with j liquid. Salt meat is sometimes soaked' in cold water before cooking to ex- j tract some of the salt but whether or • not this is done the meat should be J put on in cold or tepid water and j brought slowly to a boiling point, al-! lowing same to boil for about five minutes and then reduce the tempera ture to about 175 degrees F. Saltj meat reqnires a longer time to cook j than fresh meat. If the meat is very salty and you have not previously soaked it, it would be well to change the water after reaching the boiling point but be sure the second water Is boiling. * * Worth Knowing. Saif placed under baking pans in the oven will prevent contents from scorching on the bottom. A pinch of soda stirred In milk that Is to be boiled will prevent it rrou. curdling. By pressing down on the edge of a glass with your finger you can pour hot liquids into same without break ing. FRENCH MUSTARD DRESSING 3 tablespoons mustard; 1 table spoon of sugar; 1 egg. Mix to a paste and add one cup of boiling vine gar stirring at the same time until smooth. INTELLIGENCE CONTEST NO. 8.

HAVANA, Cuba, Oct. 14.—The po litical campaign of Cuba is beginning to wax warm. The leading presiden tial candidate, Zayas, has as bis cam paign manager Juan Gulberto Gomez, a citizen of color, and the Politics Comica, the leading humorous publi cation of the island, constantly cari catures Gomez in true rock-ribbed American southern fashion. Such demagogery, however, only serves to glsgust the people of Cuba. Primitive Ramirez Ros, a citizen or color, and a member of the present house of representatives, and one of the leading business men of Havana, will unquestionably be re-elected to Congress. He is the most popular can didate on the Island. Congressman Ros has selected Howard University, Washington, for his eldest child, Senorita Regina Ra I .. " ..—.
