Fraudulent antiques are rare in this
country, Mr. Revere declares Although
it has become quite a profession in
European countries to manufacture
antiques, and many of these so-called
antiques have deceived many collectors.
it is rare that antique frauds are per-
petrated in this country he said In
fact, I know no other business which
has as few substitutes for the genuine
as the antique trade"

rope" Mir Roden said.
 "A United States of Europe can come only through sacrifice"
 He lauded President Hoover and Ramsay Macdonald but pointed out that the recent invasion of Europe by American capital might bring the European states together be- cause of economic necessity against @ common enemy"
 Disarmament
 H. L. Faulkner spoke on disarma- ment, con9ending that it was vi- tally necessary, both from an eco- homie standpoint-to keep nations from bankrupting themselves-and to reduce the horrors of warfare. There seemed to be no limit to the ingenuity used in creating instru- ments of destruction, he said.
 Modern warfare tends to spread to other countries" MT. Faulkner said. Nobody could forsee the far reaching effects of the little flare up between Austria and Servia. Ger tainly nobody dreamed that the United States would ever be in- volved
 Trade interests and the rights of neutral nations oftimes tend to spread like a conflagation
 MT. Faulkner sees hope for dis armament. He believes the various countries of Europe can maintain their language and customs and still adhere to the peace pact.
 He cited the instance of Bulgaria and Greece, whose difficulties were settled by tribunals. Paraguay and Bolivia also resorted to arbitration
 We have made considerable pro- gress toward international peace since the World War" MT. Faulk- ner summed up.

WORLD PEACE
 ISSUES TOPIC
 OF ADDRESSES
Juneau Men Ably Discuss International Ques-
 tions at Meeting

Three able speakers discussed top ics dealing with world peace and international relations on the pro- gram given under the auspices or the Juneau Womans Club at the Grade School auditorium last night at 8 o'clock. Those who had the pleasure of hearing the addresses by John H. Dunn, Henry Roden and H. F. Faulkner, left the hall with clearer understanding of the prob lems which have engaged the best minds of Europe and America.
 The program opened with piano solo, "Polonaise," by Chopin. played by Frances Harland, which was en- Enthusiastically applauded A roll call of the Womans Club followed and various members read papers which were in the nature of com ment on the subjects about to be discussed.
 Traces Wars History
 John Dunn, the first speaker of the evening, briefly traced the his tory of war from Babylonian times down to the World War and said Americans had always been re- luctant to engage in armed strife. He dwelt at some length on the enormous cost of carrying on mod ern warfare and believed that this fact alone would prove to be the greatest obstacle to any nation which might contemplate future belligerent action.
 'The days of the Napoleonic war lord is past" MT. Dunn said. "The United States has been foremost ia promoting world peace. and if we will stand by this policy. other na- tons will be compelled to adopt a like policy"
 A vocal solo, "The House by the Road by Jack Fargher, was well received and called for an encore.
 Universal Peace
 Henry Rodens sub ects were: "The United States of Europe" and "The Kellogg Pact" MT. Roden was not optimistic about universal peace. There will probably be wars for the next thousand years, he said And he proceeded to tell the audience why.
 "The United States of Europe is not new" MT. Roden said Efforts to unite Europe have been made before.p lie drew picture of con- trast between the proposed United States of Europe and the United States of America. The thirteen original colonies were made up of peopleaof one race, united by bonds of a common language, and strong traditions of Anglo-Saxon law and justice, he pointed out. Europe. on the other hand, is populated by three races. Slav, Tuetonic and La tin, each with peculiar customs and habits and speaking 27 different languages.
 Obstacles
 Another obstacle, MT. Roden said, would be the matter of representa- tion. Would the larger nations consent to equal representation from each state? Would not England or Germany demand more say than a small country like Monaco, with it's 10000 population?
 History has been unkind to Eu-

STATE TROOPERS
 FADE A CRAP GAME
Goodyear Sports Interrupted in Popu-
 lar Pastime African Dominos

State troopers from the. Danielson barracks paid Sunday afternoon visit to Goodyear and faded crap game The sports of the village were SO intent in rolling the African domi- nos that the officers were upon them before their presence was noted. There was no time to scatter the pot and the law scraped up some SIT and took fourteen players into custody.
 lt Is no secret that African pool is one of the popular pastimes of cer- tain lot of young men who do not enjoy athletic events. Out nf doors in pleasant weather or indoors in rainy weather the bones tumble and click and more or less money changes hands
 Down in Goodyear the game was in the wide open spaces. The play ing field was bounded on one side by the Quinebaug river This formed a barrier as the players fled like scared rabbits before the hanking officials.
 In court. Monday morning, fines of S5 were imposed on those who had participated in the game and Sl was charged those who had stood by as spectators.
 The state police called a Danielson taxi driver Co take some of the men Co headquarters The same driver responded who had taken some of the players to the ringside earlier in the afternoon. He got them going and coming.
