long the competition.
The Century Co. will give as trophies a num-
ber of cups, the first prize being a large spe-
cially engraved silver cup mounted on a ped-
estal the' height of which is twenty-two inches.
The other cups are good size and well worth
competing for.

League of York in Its Good Work
YORK, PA., January 12.—An example of how a
local piano retailer can tie up effectively with
the musical events of the city in which he is
located is to be found in the activities of the
local warerooms of the Weaver Piano Co., Inc.,
York, Pa. The Music League of York, Pa.,
although established but a few years ago, has
become an important factor in musical affairs
of the city. This League is a community of
effort to emphasize the value of music and
spread its influence and benefits as widely as

some of the world's greatest musical artists are

Although in no way financially connected
with the League, as it is entirely a community
effort, it has been the custom of Percy G. Mun-

Revision of Bankruptcy
Laws Still Active Factor
WASHINGTON, D. C, January 13.—An effort will
be made to secure legislation revising the bank-
ruptcy laws, and a special subcommittee of the
House Judiciary Committee is holding hearings
for the purpose of securing the views of pei
sons and organizations interested in the sub-
ject.
Hearings were held at the last session, dur-
ing which it was brought out that well-organ-
ized rings exist in some of the larger cities
for the purpose of carrying through fraudulent
bankruptcies from which members of the rings
profit. It also developed that an involuntary
bankrupt can be discharged from bankruptcy in
a much shorter time than a voluntary bankrupt,
which is considered unfair to !he latter. It is
probable that Congress will be a^ked to adopt
legislation dealing with these and other phases
of the question before adjoir"tvnent of this, its
final session.
