If this were the case, there would
be no need of art critics. But good

therefore, in need of explanation

critics TO point the way through
these thorny paths. at is" to quote
Mr.. Cortissoz again, "the business
of the art critic to enforce dis
elimination, which is the central
principle in the enjoyment of works
of art" That is something hard
for the uninformed to realize-the
pure delight of discrimination, with
the inner certainty of rightness,
born oftentimes of instinct, but re-
inforced by knoWledge-seeing and
seeing again-sitting. as it were, at
| the feet of the masters.
Discipline Needed.
1t is the same, practically, in
music as in painting, or sculpture,
or the graphic arts, except that by
all musicians the necessity of dis
| cipline for the requirement of tech
nical proficiency is recognized,
which is not true in the other arts.
However, it is not unusual to come
! across a critical statement concern
ing a musician and his work which
is fully applicable to a painter and
his production in the neighboring
field, as, for example. the follow
ing concerning Brahms, published
in a recent program of a National
/ Symphony Orchestra concert at
which his symphony 4, in E
Minor" was played. None Of his
CBrahms) recognition came" said
| this critic, "as the result of writing
in a novel or experimental vein,
but rather from the fact that he
was able to compose in the classical
forms without repeating the mes
sages of his predecessors
To discover in the works of paint
ers and other artists this originality,
power and perfection, is the end
less pursuit of the critic of art.
When Henry Krehbiel, music
critic of the New York Tribune, died
some years ago there was published
in the editorial columns of the New
York Times a well-deserved tribute
| to the services he had rendered
not only to music but to musical
criticism as profession which he
had, indeed, put upon a higher
plane of knowledge and competence
in what makes for true basis OF
judgment than it had in his day
occupied before" But, also, in defln-
ing this service, an example was
placed before all critics which was
long to be remembered. 1t ran as
follows: He wrought unseldshly,
without fear or favor, always for
what he believed to be the truest
and the best Gin music and always
against the insincere and shallow.
He had a mind always open to the
newer developments of art that
seemed to him based on ideals of
beauty and sincerity; but he was
| first a student of the masters and
their work, and he exerted a noble
influence for good
Obviously, this was criticism at its
best, but undoubtedly it is the same
star which still guides the toiling
critics feet, although at times it is
glimpsed but family.
There are plenty of pitfalls en-
route and much opportunity for mis-
understanding, but the present ad-
venture, initiated by Mr.. Bruce and
conducted under his auspices, should
help to clear some of these away.

SANTA FE, N. Mex, April 16.-
Counsel for Mrs. Oliver Hartman
and her four co-defendants mar
shaled their forces in Federal Court
today in an effort to refute Govern
ment charges that the group con-
spired to violate lottery laws in at
tempting to promote a lottery in
New Mexico in 1898.
The Government late yesterday
rested its case against the five,
charged with a plot to carry New
MeXlco-printed sweepstakes tickets
across State lines.
The New York social leader
headed an organization which
sought unsuccessfully to establish a
million-dollar lottery for the an
nounced purpose of benefitting a
New Mexico children's hospital.
Her co-defendants are Mary De-
rleuX. 1rma Hopper, F. w. Benduhn

original defendants who pleaded no
defense, testified he could not spe-
clf1cally recall that Mrs. Hartman
ever had personal knowledge of the
interstate movement of tickets.
He told the court earlier he and
Benduhn had taken quantity of
tickets from Albuquerque to Colorado
by automobile in the summer of
1898. N
He expressed belief no member of
the Hartman Institute for Social
Research, the lottery promoting
agency, believed there was any big
money to be made in New Mexico"
nor did he believe there was any one
IN the group who didn't know these
tickets were to be sold in any State
In which they could be peddled."
Walter Higgins, New York F.. b.
agent, told of conversation he had
with Mrs. Hartman about the pur-
pose OF a contract she signed for
George Perry, financial "angel" of
the lottery plan. "She said her un-
derstanding of the contract was that
1t would allow Perry to sell tickets
IN New York and other States, pro-
vided they were purchased in New
Mexico" he said.

Food Value of Liver

Few people asked their meat
dealers for liver years ago. Deal
ers even gave it away, says DR..
James A. Tobey, director of the
American Institute of Baking, and
a well-known authority on diet and
health. Then in 1925 it was dis
covered that liver is rich IN sub
stances that prevent and control
pernicious anemia and other ane-
mic (blood) conditions.
Liver was found to be an excel
lent source of vitamins A, B. and
b. It is also abundant IN readily
available iron, as well as In con-
siderable amounts of such valu-
able food-minerals as calcium and
phosphorus, according to DR.. Tobey.
Liver sausage contains the same
vitamins and minerals as plain
liver. It is likewise a valuable
source of protein for the building
and repair of the muscles and
other bodily tissues, and it has fat
for the requirements Of body
energy.

they are few and far apart.
No. 8. This brings us to Detroit's
Tigers. They have all the scoring
dynamite a ball club needs. They
have pretty fair pitching. But they
have a second-division infeld-a
spotty infieId well below any normal
pennant showing.
Detroit can go out and get the
runs. But before the season is over
the Tiger infield will show too many
gaps to match their run-making of
fensives.
And that factor will be all-inpor-
tant in determining final club stand
ings. If the Tigers infield defensive
power was on par with their hit
ting ability, the final records likely
would be different.
So these pennant weak spots
against the staggering Yankees in
clude these:
l. Cleveland-too much inside dis
sension and trouble.
2. Boston - lack of battery
strength, always vital need.
8. Detroit-a rickety infeld.
The Big Change
What about the Yankees? Their
main control in the realm of rule, in
the kingdom of conquer, has been
balance. They have great catching,
good pitching, star infield, a fine
outfield - defensive and offensive
strength just about evenly matched.
They came home in poor condi-
ton for two reasons-bad weather in
the South and killing spring train
ing tour that covered most of the
map below the Mason and Divot
line.
They also had four years of easy
success back of their fifth charge.
Each man on the club had banked
SIS, ZOO in world series cash since
1886.
They left big opening for some
well-rounded challenger, but if they
win this time it will be largely be-
cause their main opponents had too
many soft and spongy spots.

If Jimmy Demaret is close to his

the pack today, the best I've seen
for the needed combination of bril-
hancy and consistency.
He can play every type of shot
he has no touch of added effort. He
is cool-headed and stout-hearted.
When all the facts are boiled down,
he has everything it takes. But the
factors of fate and luck play a big
part in this game of golf through
one tournament. Too many things
can happen.
Demaret has proved to be the
years standout, with something to
spare. He has won six major tour
naments against the greatest golfers
in the world. He viii be the one to
watch when it comes to a matter
skill and brains and courage.
