FATHERS CASTLE. BY A. J. Cronn. L&ttle.
Brown q Co., Boston.
IN this new novel, written by q British ply
siciAn. we travel back along the fictional
road TO the work Of the Brontes and
Hardy. There ere whole chapters in the
book which appear TO be written to the
Naid-Vict0rian prescription. That 10, there
Is a mingling Of quite shocking incidents with
bits of prudeFy. The action, ut places, is true
to the Old-time melodramatic style. There are
storms, train wrecks hair-raising rescues and
all that sort Of thing-unfailing resources OF
the novelist Of the nineteenth century. But,
Withal It Is o splendid novel. and it will, IN all
probability, become one Of the best sellers OF
the year.
A. J. Cronin, the author went at his work
In q serious manner. It Is his first novel, and,
If anything he became too serious in his work.
There are particular episodes which, through
the writer's effort TO make them realistic give
an entirely different impression. They become
rather artificial Is II the reader were witness
ing q sordid play before makeshift scenery.
Where the writer's effort at realism is not 50
stressed he obtains his object more success
fully. And now to the story:
Hatter's Castle Is not o castle. It is Q freak
iSh home in Scotland, bnilt according to the
ideas Of the towns principal halter, James
Brodie. The latter is the principal character
Of the novel, broad-beamed harsh and cruel
father and husband. The book is largely made
up with his tyrannical habits, his delusions Of
grandeur and his fall to the curse Of drink
Witness all the Mid-Victorian writer's stand
bys.) The Brodie household is q thing Of
horror under the domineering eye and hand
OF the master. Comes q series Of disasters
competition IN business disappointments re-
garding the children and other factors-and
the house Of Brodie begins to crumbe. large
half of the novel Is taken up with this falling
period. Hatter's Castle falls into ruin and Its
master falls 70 the charms Of a barmaid.
While . reader may find fault with DR..
CrOnins storytelling, there is no getting away
from the fact that there is not dull line I'm
the novel. One must remember that it Is q
first novel, and one may expect bigger and
better things from the pen Of this author. The
modern tricks Of the novelist are not apparent
Rather DIR. Cronin has selected such writer's
as the aforementioned Hardy, the Bronte6.
EmOllett and Richardson as his models
"IIatters Castle" has met with an unusual re-
ception by the reading public of the British
Isles and 1t 10 destined for mach discussion

Heed This WARNING
United States District Attorney
George E. Q. Johnson Warns
Against Repeal of State
Enforcement Law

Hon. George E. @. Johnson, United
States district attorney, delivered one of
his Enthusiastically forceful addresses on
crime in Chicago and its cure at the an
nual meeting of the Young Peoples Civic
Council held at the Chicago Woman's
Club February 20. Mr.. Johnson said in
part:
THE purpose Of crime, leaving out such
claSsif1cations as the crimes Of passion and
degeneracy and crimes committed for the
purpose Of vengeance, is to get easy mon
ey. Robbery, theft, burglary, embezzle-
ment and kindred crimes are not big
sources of revenue for the criminal classes
It is true that many times startlingly
large sums of money are gained from mail
robbcries, payroll robberies and bank rob-
berries, but in the aggregate they are in
significant as compared to other sources
from which crime gets its easy money
"Org8nized crime does not ordinarily OPP
crate in general thefts, burglaries, rob-
berries, except in very small units-in small
gangs The main source and the continu-
Gus flow of income to organized crime
comes in form of privilege. Privilege in
this sense is immunity to violate the law
granted by some law enforcement official
"a consideration paid for protection. This
is covered by four classihcations:
l. Violation of the National Prohibi-
ton act;
2. Trade racketeering;
3. Gambling;
4. Vice.
Among the direct results Of these vio-
lations may be listed
a. Murder;
b. EXtortion;
C. Corruption;
d. Direct interference with the admin

The enactment of the OGrady bill would
not only leave Illinois without any law to
enforce the Eighteenth Amendment to the
federal constitution, but by such action
the people Of this state would be robbed
of even that degree of protection from
the evils of the liquor traffic which the
laws of half century ago gave to them.
We do not believe the state senate will
care to carry the odium which such fool
hardy action would surely bring upon it.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1931-03-01

In recent case the supreme court of
Illinois said: The injurious effects Of
the traffic in intoxicating liquor upon So
ciety have always been recognized in i1ais
state, and from very early period in lis
existence such traffic has been restricted
with constantly increasing stringency OF
legislation eliminating in the Dram-Shop
act of 1874 and the local option law Of
1907" Through the protection afforded
the people by these laws, prosecutions
could be made for:
Sale OF Intoxicating liquor without IL
cense duly granted by city, village, or
county.
Sale within two miles of any incorpo-
rated city or village.
Sale by druggist not for medicinal or
other excepted purpose
Sale to minor Or to drunkard.
Sale in territory that had voted dry I'M
der the local option law.
Sale within four miles of the state uni
versity; within. tWo-thirds of a mile of
state soldiers and sailors home; with
in one and one-eight miles of national
homes for disabled volunteer soldiers;
within one-eighth Of q mile Of govern
ment naval training school or mill
tary post.
Any person injured in person or prop
erty through the fault Of another I'M
lawfully furnishing liquor could re-
cover damages from the seller.
This was the status Of liquor legislation
up until the effective date Of wartime
prohibition. The so-called Search and Sci
zure law was enacted to take effect July l,
1919, to assist in effective enforcement Of
wartime prohibition in Illinois. When the
Eighteenth Amendment was adopted the
legislature enacted the complete enforce
ment code known as the Illinois Prohibi
ton act, thereby discharging its obliga-
ton to the federal government under sec
ton of the Eighteenth Amendment.
Would the liquor traffic in Illinois again
be restricted, regulated or controlled I'M
der provisions Of the old liquor laws if the
Illinois Prohibition act and Search and
Seizure law should be repealed? Which, if
any, Of these laws would be in effect?
Let US make no mistake as to what the
result of the repeal Of the Illinois Proai-
bition act and Search and Seizure law
would be. The state would hot go back to
license and regulation under the restric-
tive and regulatory liquor laws above re-
ferrcd to. Under rulings Of the supreme
court these laws have been repealed. They
are no longer on the statute books. The
supreme court said in the case of People D.
Williams 300 III. 1922
The prohibition act is revision of
the whole subject under the amend
rlent to the federal constitution and
was intended as a substitute for the
existing law on that subject. 1t oper-
ated as repeal except as to pending
proceedings, although it contained no
express repeating clause. Board of

Detroit, Feb. 26-(AP)-School super

shout down the only one of their number
who raised his voice against it.
The controversy Aared for a few min

1t was quickly disposed of after DR..

CRITICISE KEALEY
There was no argument on the other
sice in the face of loud demand for

VARIATIONS IN
COFFEE FLAVOR LAID
TO BULK ROASTING
Hills Bros. Coffee Doesn't
Vary in Flavor, Because of
Radically Different Process

1t is almost impossible to keep
bulk-roasted coffee from varying IN
flavor. For in bulk roasting it IS
difficult to roast each big batch
alike. One lot may be slightly over
done - another little underdone.
Naturally, they each have a differ
ent flavor.
Hills Bros. discarded the bulk
method for a process they invented
and patented. 1t is called Controlled
Roasting, and the roast is positively
controlled, Variation is overcome.
Every pound of Hills Bros. Coffee
has the same rich, full-bodied flavor.
As the accuracy of the hour-glass
depends upon an even, continuous
flow = little at a time - so the
uniform flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee
is produced by this patented process
that roasts evenly, continuously -.
q little at a time. No other process
is like it. That's why Hills Bros.
Coffee has a flavor no other coffee
has.
Hills Bros. pack their coffee in
vacuum cans. Air, which destroys
the flavor of coffee, is removed and
kept out of these cans. Ordinary,
"air-tight" cans won't keep coffee
fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee can't
go stale. Order some today. Ask
for it by name, and look for the
Arab trademark on the can.
