The question unanimously asked
Is: When will prices come down.
"ln recent weeks this same aues-
tiCn has been agitated TO some eA-
tent, in certain trade circles, concern
Ing the automobile industry. Now
that the question has been brought
up, II is well to meet II squarely ana

In this way there will be no camou-
flage. and the automobile public
and by that | mean those who are IN
terested in the purchase Of sutomo-
biles--will not be deceived by false
hopes.
No REDUCTION SEEN.
MY straightforward reply is that
the prices of automobiles will not
come down for some time. In other
words. as far as it is possible for us
to look into the future for the maxi
ing OF price predictions. we can see
no possibility OF any reduction In
the price OF automobiles.

result of a calm and deliberate anal

Dor are the controlling factors in the
cost of automobile production. or the
materials, steel and iron form the
basic metals that entes into the
manufacture of the automobile. And
any expert in the steel and iron in
dustry will vouch for the statement
that the price of these two commod-
tiles cannot fall for a long time to
come. As long as the railroads re-
main in their present condition OF
congestion and inability to transport
efficiently the steel and iron output
of the nation. then there can be no
increase in the production OF these
metals, with the consequent result
that their prices will continue as
high, IL not higher, than they are at
present. And until the price Of steel
and iron is lowered, the price OF the
fair-priccd automobile Will remain
fixed.

LABOR IMPORTANT FACTOR.

Labor, the other determining fac
tor in the cost OF automobile produc-
tion. viii not accept any reduction In
wages. and ii is useless to look for
decrease in cost in this direction.
Then there IL the fact that prac-
ticslly all automobile companies have
on hand large inventories of stock
that enter into the manufacture of
ears. The prices of the cars today
are based largely on the price the
companies paid for these raw mater
iaiS and parts.
Therefore, no automobile manufac-
turcr who is merchandising his prod
duct at a reasonable margin of profit
can lower his prices without disas'
trouS results. The fact that there
has been dow inward tendency, in
few scattered instances. in some
lines Of merchandise purely because
of an oNerstucked and overpriced

trend OF automobile prices. The au-
tomoble industry is not overstcckcd.

RUSSIAN MUSIC IS
 EVENINGS FEATURE
Polish Compositions Too, at
 Musical Club

Before the largest audience of the season, the New Britain Musical club had it's sixth musicale of the series, the evening being devoted to Russian and Polish music, at the Eiks' hall last evening. Mrs. Horton presided and Mrs: Futile read q most interest ing paper on the subject of Russian and Polish music, bringing out the salient facts that the music in Rus sia symbolized their hopes and ambi- tions as we'll as their despair, whereas the other fine arts suffered because of the inability to absorb the lighter as well as the moro sonlbcr moods that characterized the people of these ma tionallties.
 MT. Hart made an announcement that will interest all music lovers in New Britain and vicinity; that is that the New Britain Musical club had se- cured Pablo Casals, tho worlds great est 'cellist, as the artist for their con- cert which is to be held at FoNs theater on the afternoon of April 11th A very deplorable fact was also brought out that New Britain with a population of sixty thousand has no concert hall worthy the name that could be available for a concert of l01S klllu. +A lullcI will follow, regarding this concert which it is hoped the people of this city will take advantage of the oppor- tunity afforded them to hear this great artist.
 The first number on the program consisted of a prelude and a ballade in G minor, op. 23; by Chopin. Miss Tommasoni played these numbers with a beautiful touch. The next of- fering was q sonata in D major for cello and piano, op. IS, by Ruben stein, played with excellent tonai values by Miss Tommasoni and MT. Schauffler The Pilgrims Song by Tschaikowslly was sung by MT. Lath- am and was much enjoyed by the audience. Miss Hine played two de- scriptive numbers, "Promenade' and 'Il Nechio Castello," (The Old Cas- te) by Moussorgsky; then followed an aria from "Harold' by Napravnik, sung by Miss Farrcl, with violin obligato by Mir.

 In the account of the last musicale given by the club, the name of Miss Bcngston was inadvertently omitted Miss Bengston sang two songs. "The Princess and "The Boat" both by Grieg, in d very pleasing and musical voice, and exhibited nice stage presence.
