trained and in what particulars the tuner, by virtue
of his occupation, is a better judge of musical tone
than many musicians, critics or teachers.
The ear and the sense of hearing are very inter-

Colonel Taylor, graduate of Harvard and a post
graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy, is especially fitted to speak on this subject as
he has devoted many years of study and research on
this particular branch of science.

Richard W. Lawrence, who is prominent in the
Union League Club in New York, was one of many
resenting the recent holding of meeting there re-
lating to the movement for a national prohibition
amendment. In an interview to a newspaper Mr.
Lawrence, who is a member of the club's committee
on public affairs, said that many members of the
club who did not attend the affair "thought it was a
stupid piece of political strategy to hold such a dinner
at the Union League Club, because among those not
well informed the dinner and the movement back of
it might reasonably be looked upon as an agency of
the Republican party sponsored by one of the leading
clubs of the world—a club with Republican ante-
cedents."
