or the dignity Of The Senate as the
supreme principle of authority failed,
parity because it came too long after,
the process of dissolution had set in
and partly because the progress Of
Christianity served to invalidate anv
eutt of Emperor worship.
terrero exhibits a marked Gu
p&city to write history in such in
teresting fashion that it can be read
by the man in the street. One attains
clearer idea of the essential factors
at work in the decadence of Imperial
Rome from Ferrero's short and road
able work than from many ponderous
tones. And the author draws a Iesso,
for the present from his analysis Of
the experiences Of the past He be
ueves that present-day Europe is in
Danger OF some such catastrophe as
overlook Rome in the fourth and 9Th
centuries. IN modern Europe, as in
ancient Rome, the absence of any GEN
orally recognized principle of author
ity IS powerful psychological aid to
the forces Of chaos and destruction
Ferrero points out. that the war com
pieted the work OF discrediting the
theory of divine right. which com
meneed with the French Revolution.
And he does not believe that democracy
has yet proved itself Satisfactorily
p'ndlng and authoritative principle.
benedetto Creee's work approaches
the theory and practise of historior
raphy with the double equipment of
profound philosophic insight and ade
quate technical knowledge. First Of
all, he shows what history should not
be. lie exposes the fallacies of the
men who have been philologists. or
moral teachers. or patriots. rather than
@rvants of truth and science. And
ne gradually builds up his conception
OF an art o. history that should imply
a synthesis of humauist values. A har-
monious blending OF science and imagi
nation
In the second part Of the book he
describes the types of histories which
have prevailed in definite ages Of
thought. He shows how the Greek and
Roman historians, admirable in many
respects, are lacking in ability to de-
vote adequate attention to such aspects
OF history as art, letters and social
customs.
Croce does not share the superficial
contempt of the skeptical thinkers of
the Enlightenment for the Middle
Ages and their works. He sees in the
medieval chronicles, dry and grabbed
as they are, certain spiritual contribu-
-tlons OF Christianity to civilization,
such as the habit Of viewing life AS a
developing process, and not as a blind
circle. The historography OF the
Renaissance and the Eniightmcnt, of
Romantlcism and Positi vism is dis
eussed, with an interesting commen-
tsry upon the intellectual virtues and
defects OF all these thought cycles.

A Spanish Squire
Realistic Story of the
Southwest

THE BLOOD OF THE CONQUERORs.
BY Harvey Ferguson. Published by AL
fred A. knopf. $3.50
~ HE Southwest, like the West, has
been pressed into service as the
scene Of many luridly imagina-
tive tales. A story of New Mexico or
Arizona brings us visions of border
raids, American girls Kidnapped by vii
lainous, .Mexicans and rescued by gal
liant cowboys, men wandering half
crszed with thirst through alkali des-
erts, and, above all, expert pistol shoot
ing, and plenty Of il.
Mr.. FERGUSON abjurcs all such ro-
mantic paraphernalia. He knows the
country OF which he writes, and his
descriptions are based upon knowledge
rather than fancy. His chaf acters talk
and act like living men and women, not
like heroes and heroines of the screen.
Ramon Delcasar, the central figure, is
a credible type, adequately portrayed,
descended from an cid spanish nopls
family, Ramon is i'll fitted to take part
in the scramble for wealth which char
acterizes the opening up of Now Mex
leo by American capital.
He is q good fighter and good lover,
but he lacks the ruthless, driving per-
sistence OF the successful business
man. Contesting an important land
deal with 2 Scotch promoter, he plays
his part with skill aud success for Il
time. But love intrigue draws him
away to New York just when his pres
ence on the field is most necessary, and
he finally sells out to his rival and
sinks back rather contentedly into the
placid life of Seauish squire operat-
ing d ranch without too much modern
efficiency
For first novel The Blood Of the
Conouerors" is remarkably free from
defects and crudities of style aud
thought. 1t is an effective treatment
OF region and a people whose pic
turcsque physical and Psychological
features have too long been exploited
by specialists in ''rcd- blooded" fiction.

DEPPERS are in the markets now.
Every housewife buys them for
pickles and serves them stuffed two
or three times season. Beyond that
they are seldom used, and yet they
can be made into many unusual
dishes.
A pepper soup is delicious. To
make it remove the seeds and veins
from eight large sweet red peppers
and boil till tender. Put the pulp
through the colander and add to it a
cupful of boiled rice mashed smooth
with silver fork. Season highly
with tabasc0 and salt. Beat an egg
light with half cupful of cream
and add it gradually to quart of
scalded milk. Put the pepper mix
ture into this, let it come to the boil
ing point and serve at once with
croutons of bread toasted to golden
brown
A welcome change from the usual
rarebit for little supper after the
theater would be a Mexican dish
called in its native land "ajoqueso.'
Boil three Spanish peppers until ten
der and put through a sieve. Fry
small onion and a Glove of garlic in
hot olive oil. Add the pepper pulp,
q small piece of butter, salt to taste

Order in the House
Spells Freedom for
the Home Maker
By May Belle Brooks

/" HIS morning ] watched a
woman waste half day look
ing for a certain object that
mad been packed away most care
fully a year ago. Her usually de-
rendable memory failed to remind
her just where it had been placed.
She thought it had been put here-or
maybe it was there-oh, no, it
couldn't have been put in that box
so her brain kept busy with her
hands rummaging through trunks
and boxes, and having to put them
all IN order again, until finally she
found 1T in the last box, of course.
Then the old proverb from the back
OF the school rhetoric came to mind
-"Order is the price of freedom
BY that time the noon whistles
were blowing, the children coming in
from school, and there wasn't
thing ready for luncheon. So she
had to dispatch Sonny to the corner
grocery to buy the quickest thing she
could cook (Which, true to rule, was
the most expensive), and found she
would have to substitute something
cheaper for dinner that night in or
der to keep within her budget. 1t
took little more time to figure that
cut and change her menu and then
there was all the regular morning
work left to be done in the afternoon
and SO she couldn't take the little
outing we had planned together.

1t all sounds like Piggy wouldn't

And I've no doubt the series could be

wifely fall from grace. We know
the consequences-but still we con-
tinue to do the things that led to our
downfall. Perhaps it is because our
