 There IS beginning 10 be some talk of dissolution ot parliament as the only way out Of the deadlock, but this step has not yet been taken dur ing the life Of the third republic and few politicians would support it.

Variety, the stage weekly, makes a practice of publishing the ratings of metropolitan critics on a basis Of the financial success of the shows. In other words, the critic who pans a play which later proves a financial success is regarded as d worse critic than he who lauds such d play The only trouble with this type Of rat ing IS that it overlooks the true function ot q critic, which is 10 dis cuss a play from an artistic stand point to the best Of his ability So long as the inartistic plays can be- come commercially ssccessful just so long will fl appear that the public worthy of the name sometimes make and not the critics aro al fault to the extent of preferrins hohum rather than originality. ideas and art and so long as plays frequently laudcd for their artistic values turn out 10 be commercial Hops, so long will the public prove il Is more interested in entertainment values than in pure dramatic art-somcthing Of which the majority, in fact, have very lit lie opportunity Of learning much about.

IE. HOOVERsS DILEMMA

President Hoover IS faced with the. ineyitable w4igh concrours any executive sitting on the lid Of pubic expenditures. A hear, a man de- sIring "economy." 'ta& reduction. ' and lb2 other things Which are put at the credit O. an aIminlstra- ton, ho is meeting headon with d Congress which Is not inclined to re- gard those items as Of prime import ance under the present conditions, We rather think that Congress is more inclined 10 represent the pub lie pulse in this matter,
 The President says that certain representatives and senators are playing politics at the expense of human misery Yet such claim can be megaphoncd in both directions. The "erring' mon m Congress are Of the opinion that the Government should expend about twice as much as MT Hoover wishes in order 10 do it's share in alleviatiug human mis- cry: and if government money thus expended can really alleviate, it re- mains that the more IS disbursed the more misery is alleviatcd.
 The federal Government consist cntly has been encouraging munich palitics to spend money in various public projects with q view toward relief" It would seem hat what the ambitious representatives and senators want to see expended would be no greater task for the federal Government than similar ,aaks are for municipalities.

Nobody, wc think could aualyze those figures without coming to the conclusion that the plan 10 construct q new building as soon as possible has more financial advantages to the city than has been generally suppos- cd by those opposed 10 the building program.
 The Mayor has based his conten- ton to wait before building upon the premise that these are not tue times 10 go in for inc construction of d new building MT.

SMITH TELLS DEMOCRATS
 TO PROCEED CAUTIOUSLY
Former Governor Urges Party 10 Deserve Victories Won in
 Recent Election.

New York. Dec. 10 tP,-TormeI Governor Alfred L. Smith feels thai inc eyes Of the nation are on New York democrats in their hour 0! triumph.
 Speaking at q dinner last night in honor of Mrs. Franklin b. Roose- welt. wife Of the governor, and Mrs John F. Curry, wife Of the Tammanv Hall leader. Mir. smith referred to thcresults of the recent election II those words:
 "We had q great victory but now IS the time to be more careful after that victory Watch yourself Witt great power come very great rcspon sibilities. The eyes Of the nation will make appraisal Of our victory 10 see how ready we are to return ir proper fold 10 the people for their great vote of confidence"

SCHOOL AUDITORIUMS

Ills Honor the Mayor IS going to he taken to the Lincoln school by Superintendent Holmes of the school department 10 note how auditoriurus work, Perhaps It has been douv be- fore this sees print. Anyway, the Mayor IS in for q little more educa- ton to be added 10 the considerable store he already possesses.
 School audltoriums have deyclop- ed in schools through the knowledge that has come through experience. The little red school houses are gone everywhere except in q comparative ly few isolated communities; the old style school system where children remain seated in the same seat for hours at time likewise are gone except in such ancient piles which still finger on as school buildings.
 The system today IS more interest ing and instructive to the child, and the only evidence that the majority Of children dislike to attend modern schools remains in the files Of joke smiths.
 1T school auditorIums were ex- ceedingly expensive things there would be some point 10 ob- Jeetions. But all things considered they do not add greatly to the cost Of the average school building; and yield dividends to the children which are far more valuable than their costs.
 The parents ought 10 have some thing to say in such matters. We have yet to discover a member Of a Parents and Teachers. association who is opposed 10 a place in which 10 meet in the school, place which can bring together the entire school membership or stated occasions, a place which has become as integral 8 part Of a modern sChooi as gymnasium or q Kindergarten
 The only way to oppose these things is to oppose progress; and 10 our notion there is no sense in op- posing progress.

larger sum for repairs, simply be- cause the cost Of the new building will be spread over so many years that the cost the first year and the second, Tor that matter. will not equal inc cost oI repairing the build ng
 We feel confident that the Mayor will agree with the Board of Educa- ton before the discussion has ended. To repair the building next summer at q nigh cost will be throwing away considerable money and re- ~ult III the necessity Of constructing q new building in a few years, probably at 8 higher cost than 1t can he contracted for at present.

AN ELECTRIC CONCESSION

At the moment when council manic committee is supposed to bc investigating the rates of the Con necticut Light 6c Power Co.,, and tine Citizens Property Owners assocla- ton IS mentioning the rates in its racurrcnt dissertations upon the ills O. all citizens. and month before Governor-elect Cross lakes his seat at the head of the state government, along comes the electric concern and reduces the energy charge for household consumers from five to four cents.
 Viewpoints taken are that it Vas about tlmo that the sundry uvesu- gators will have to reWrltc their rc- ports, fl they happen to have any. and that time VIII be required to see how jar four cents per klowatt hour is from what had been thought the right rate.
 Without gong mo tuose details as yet-con9pararve electricity rates being nearly as complicated III some respects as tho EInzren theory-we arc free to say that the company knows what to do al the right mo- menr. with the possible view Of making 1t more difficult for critics and giving a larse slice Of he pubic 10 understand that q company which voluntarily reduces is rates cannot be as black as 5t has been painted.
 As a mater O. fact. every electric concern thinks Q concern In some other ct.y Is charging much more exorbltant rates than it happens 10 b. charging. The (. L. & P, for h. stance. can toll any tuQurmg critic that the nuch-toutod low rates in Hartford are not so low, all things consiIerpd: or that th. ra',- ot the concern in New Haven aro much higher On the other hand down in New Haven there are comparative reports which desire to prov tn. ra..= there ara uoarIy asrr.ssi0eIy 'oa: and Hartford still rola,s to ..nts per Ellova-r hoar beyond tho fla, rate as something or others to shoot nj.
 Tn4re Is a Dld4 diversity or apply ing rates in the elecrrrc industry After all. what counts Ls the bills paid ny the average consumer. Par ticularly is this important nowadays in view Of the many electric appG- ances which have been marketed and arc in Use, Whereas a te" decades ago electricity in inc home vas used only for lighting purposes, there now are electric retrIgerators, electric stoves, electric heaters, cleo tric radios and. electric this and that too numerous 10 mention. l. is unreasonable under modem condl- tons to expect -houschoIders with such appliances 10 pay as high or nearly as high J Jale for volume Use ot electricity as they paid when only electric bulbs consumed cur rent.

NOT MISuDGING THE CRITICS

Far be 1t from Us to question the theatrical perspicacity Of Mir, L. J, Anhalt. manager Of the stock conl- pany in New Britain, when he throws a. handful Of unrlpe fruit at the Broadway critics for ''misiudg- ing" play which later made lover a million and a half dollars
 This play, of course, was "Abie's Irish Rose" Every producer who read the manuscript was of the same opinion-that it was unworthy Of production-and finally the young lady who had written or compiled it is said 10 have borrowed $500 and produced it herself. The Broadway critics-meaning the New York critics-gavc f the merry razz 1t deserved, but the public liked it 10 the extent Of million and half dollars or more.
 The mere fact that the play Was a commercial success does not prove the critics were wrong when they declared it to be pure hokum. That's all it was. and that is what the New York theatrical manasers-coi- leagues Of Alr. AnhaIt's-thought it was when they read the manuscript. Stage critics arc supposed to . judge plays according to artisuc values, not according to commercial values. Many a play with no artistic values at all, which is razzed and browbeaten by the critics. contains commercial values and makes the producer rich.
 h the case of Abic's Irish Rose, which was analysed by courts during subsequent litigation, the learned judges seemed to fully agree with the critics Nobody could steal any thing from the play, they held, be- cause its ideas went Dack 10 the time Of Shakespearc's Romeo and Juliet and beyond; that 1t merely was a revamping of common stage characters. such as the Irish and Jewish characters vaudevilllans are fond of portraying, sometimes to the disgust Of both nationalitics. No self respecting drama critic could have done otherwise than give such a production d first rate verbal drub- ping. Merely because the public paid kings ransom to see the play lat CT had nothing to do with its lack of artistic merits; the crowd ilkeG the entertainment, which was all It

l New York Dec. 10.-An indoor 1 at q window to watch steel workers | and riveters on the top floor of a l 43-storied building near by. Through | binoculars one may follow the dizzy exploits of men who have apparent l ly conquered fear.
 They are as sure-footed on a nar- row beam spun high in the clouds 1 ss a cat on the prairie. In instances ] they jog along like Mexican peons over q mountain trail. Sometimes ! they teeter and sway in the swift wind so perilously that a watcher has to turn away.
 At times they even grow prank | ieh. This noon a number of them were lunching, their legs dangling in the air. A joker above sloshed them with a bucket of water. The slightest slip would have meant a rush 10 obliviop but everybody laughed heartily,
 One of their casual stunts is 10 pass each other on slim beam. They grip shoulders and with turn, like the quick spin of a waltz, go on their way. A few Of them have masCots, a dog or cat that fol- low about with the same sureness.
 A disaster is costly 10 contractors. If q steel worker falls, it is the ln- variable custom for the rest to knock off work for the day. The eX- perts are mostly cigarette smokers but rarely drink. Booze and steeple- lacking do not mix. Buttermllk is the fayorite tipplc.
 The majority of the intrepid artisans arc married, devoted family men with highly developed senti- mentalities They know that each day offers the hazard Of being their last. Frequently their wives by ap- pointment wave 10 them from the sidewalks.
 As a rule they are farm bred boys who acquired the sturdiness hard work and life in the open give. Their big task is one of con- contration. They train themselves 10 reject any suggestion Of fear or thought ol false step.
