Beer Going Up!

No decrease in sales of bottled beer has been noted locally since the advance of ' per cent in price. In most cases the customer has not had to pay any more for bot tied beer than he did in the past, with retail prices little affected. It is expected that the increase will also be made effective on beer sold in kegs.
 The price raise was one of 2 per cent. with all major breweries joining in the step, among them the Waterbury Brewing Co. and Largay Brewing Go. of this city.
 Brewers point out that prices on malt, hops and corn products have advanced SO per cent since last fall, and other materials have likewise increased in cost. Brewers also state that they wish to maintain 8 high standard of wages for their employees. The in- crease, they say, is slight compared with the rise in costs of materials.

IAL SMITH TAKEN FOR PRESIDENT
Many POpIe Believed He Was President, When
 He Visited Pope

Rome, May 27-CUP)-A lot of people at Castel Grandolfo, where Poue Plus has his summer home, believed today that, they had seen the president of the United States in the. person of Alfred E. Smith of New York. Substituting his brown derby and cigar with a top hat which he wore with a tailed coat, the former governor visited the pope yesterday.
 President Is Coming
 Word spread through Castle Gam dolfo that the president was com ing and people gathered excitedly. When Smith arrived, there were loud shouts of Hong live the presi- dent!" And it proved impossible to convince the villagers that Smith was not the chief executive. Smith was greatly pleased by the honor the pope paid him. After his private audience, the former governor at- tended public audience. There the pope called him most worthy" and most illustrious" and continued:
 POpe'S Praise For Smith
 We say so because he honors all tlfat which is most American. Above all he honors his name and his profession as a Catholic son of the church, which is more precious as concerns man about whom there has been mush discussion in im- portant United. States organizations and there is still considerable talk whenever there is anything very important to that great country. We are happy to greet him, and again to bless him and all his numerous family and his great country which he SO worthily represents"

one might include IN this group
Philip Hale, of Boston, H. E. Kreh
biel, James Huneker, and Henry
T. Finck, of New York. Their
standards we're high, their powers
of observation and writing ability
we're classic examples. That they
contributed much to the develop
ment of music in America goes
without saying.
They were all of the unSelfiSh
type that permitted them to view
with alarm when their readers &C.
cepted their criticisms without pro-
test. OF criticism, Mr.. Henderson
once wrote, THE true desider.
alum, after all, is not the infalli-
bility of criticism. The acquisition
of a ready-made opinion is sought
only by the Intellectually incapable
or indolent. A real man prefers to
think for himself; and the best
criticism is that which compels
him to do so. Therefore, what we
should value most in criticism is
it's point of view, it's endeavor to
attain an altitude from which the
whole breadth of the subject may
be surveyed"
Despite its wide activity, the
art of music is still in need of prop
uganda and of exploitation. Halt
ing, inadequate, often laundering
as it ever must be, critical discus
sion is still the foremost agent in
bringing to the general public a
perception of the nature OF the
musical art and of the ends sought
by composers. This is none the
less true because of the major part
of the criticism which reaches the
public eye is mere record OF the
doings of performers"
When asked to define "con-
structive" as compared with de.
structive" criticism, Mr.. Hender-
son claimed that competent and
honest criticism was constructive,
and incompetent criticism, kindly
or otherwise, the reverse.
A music critic is often hard
put to decide whether to write
"a mere record of the doings Of
performers" or to give what he
considers honest and frank criti-
cism, especially when called upon
to review amateur or semi profes-
sional doings originating locally.
If a critic gives his honest
opinion of a performance, the one
