Breckenridge Long Discusses Place
of Art in a Democracy-Many
Delegates Present.

History does not bear out the theory
that a democracy tends more to the

the opening session of the eighth an

morning. Mr.. Long, whose subject was
1.-The Place of Art in Democracy"
premised his discussion on the idea
that arts place" refers primarily to
its visible manifestations.
In republican Greece art and freedom
walked hand in hand, he explained. In
the republics of medieval Italy 1t -four
ished, while the centuries of religious
art were but an evidence of the wide
spread democratic appreciation of the
services Of the church in keeping alight
the lamp of knowledge. Lack of

feeling on the part of America post
poned for decades any beginning Of a
real national art in this democracy. but
this came when the feeling of fidelity
to state gave way to fidelity to nation.

LIVELY WAR IS PRESAGED
FOR BIG SOUP GAMERS
Rise in Price Of Baked Beans and
Soups Expected to Result
From Action.

Immediate rise in price of canned
baked beans and soups is threatened as
the result of drastic recommendations
made to the canning industries of the
country by the so-called tin can COM
the tin plate and can manufacturers
and packers and government officials.
A sixty-day probation period. during
which the supply Of tin cans to the big
soup Gamers Of the country. involving
several tremendous industries, will be
cut of and tin cans allowed to go to
packers of more perishable foods only,
has been decided upon by the COM
mittee.
Following protests from Gamers of
baked beans, the committee at confer
ences yesterday reiterated its stand on
the canning Of beans, asking that no
new provision by deciding to cut OF
the supply Of tin cans to soup Gamers
for q period Of at least sixty days.
1t Is expected that . big protest will
be registered by the soup concerns,
which do a tremendous business, and
which claim that a suspension Of their
Industries for sixty days win put them
out OF business.

concerns is presaged.
It is believed that the existing con-
tracts for tin cans will be ignored, IN
so far as possible, with the Gamers
acquiesce with the requests of the
committee. It is claimed, on the other
hand, that the committee has no power
to thus ignore contracts.
Think Suspension Will Benefit.
Rise in the price of canned beans and
soups, most of which housewives can
purchase canned cheaper tnan sue cdH
make for herself, is regarded as GER
tain.
Members of the committee believe
that II the canning Of soups and beans
is suspended for a sixty-day period
there then will be plenty of tin cans
available for all. and the putting up
Of soups and beans in tins resumed.
The government has assured the
Canadian government Of enough tin
cans to allow the Canadian Gamers to
put up pork and beans for Canadian
troops in the trenches. Pork and beans
are not needed by American troops at
this time, it is pointed out, and the
