Christmas the whole family gathers there.
That was how they happened to have their

as a gourmets Paradise. has always had a
special attitude about food. He sees food as
common denomination for humanity. great and

nary days, it becomes glorifier of great ones
= the momentous occasions, from getting
married or celebrating the birth of an heir. to
observing an important anniversary, sealing
friendship. assembling at family reunion,
and especially celebrating Christmas
Herman got this way about food when he
was motherless boy growing up on farm
at Miles, Michigan, where Stina, the familys
big hearted Alsatian cook, did good COM
bination job of mothering and of filling small
boys nostrils with wonderful kitchen odors
and his stomach with good things. Nothing
human could be undressing to Stina, least
of all the bread of life.
Herman, having learned that lesson from
her, kept it through years of change, adven-
ture and multifarious interests. He travelled
from Honolulu to Japan, to Europe. He wrote
articles and short stories. His work interested
Lady Duff Gordon, the couturier who was
world famous under the name of Lucille. and
she made him her manager. He became tech
nical costume and color director for one OF the
biggest motion-p picture companies. He made
himself an expert on the lore OF precious
stones. He became an authority on the history
of cosmetics And. consistently interested IN
food, he was great, though uncrowned Chef
Finally, in an historic old house near
Ridgefield, Connecticut, Herman opened
Shaker Hollow Inn. The place was enor-
mously successful and became rendezvous
for gourmets, but Herman insisted on doing
all the cooking himself. And after three years
he had to give it up.
In that neighborhood Christmas comes
with special glory. 1t has always begun with
the carol singers on Christmas Eve such
carol-singers as few country towns boast.
There were Geraldine Farrar, Florence Easton,
Marion Telva, Lily Pons, Charles Hackett,
Richard Bonelli, Andre kostelanetz, Herman
himself and some fifteen or sixteen other

DECLINE AND FALL OF THE
BRITISH EMPIRE
Nv Robert RriffauIt
By Ber7,ice FinneSan

Robert Briffault has written a
good fighting book with no holds
barred. He calls the British EN-
pire the chief stronghold of reac-
ton in the modern world. At every
stage of it's history it has always
tried to block progress in all parts
of the world even at the risk of its
own destruction.
One idea underlies most of Mr..
Briffault's thinking. 1t is that the
British Empire went up like a rock
ct and will go out like a light. The
Roman Empire lasted for more
than four centuries; the British
Empire has barely survived one.
Yet it requires a man of Mr..
Briffault's attachments to do justice
to that history in one volume. For
he writes not as a commentator on
the days news, not even as con-
temporary historian, but as scien-
fist, an anthropologist, student of
the rise and decay of civilizations,
and because he set out to write the
sort of book he did, it also turns
out being as timely as your morn
ing paper.
He begins with chapter on "The
Meteoric Empire" setting forth his

by closing places from : A. M. to

high. Mr.. Mondloch asked for re-
consideration of the 80 beer license

It was moved by Alderman Kin

Kane for the position Of operator
of the Sewage Disposal Plant and
to report to the Council. It was
seconded by Alderman Pangburn
and the motion was unanimously
carried. President Eckberg appoint

ley had trouble. He had just
run the 40, turning in a good
performance. His muscles tight
ened, and he lost Is yards i'm

inspiring anchor run took up
those lost yards, paced Swan

the tape almost with him. :.
1t was a Photographic finish,

in the event, and Sank Centre
Toftness was talking of balance
in his regional entry team at New
York Mills. He has it in some de-
partments. In the 120 and 200 low
and high hurdles he is ably repre-
scented in Kringen and Pangburn
In the 440 by Hildebrand; broad
jump by Larson; high jump by
Kringen; and the relays by Larson
Cokeley, Ethun and Kuefler.
If those lads stack up points in
those events, there may be another
in it-but they have to pro
duce pretty well. Loss in the
220, in which Kuefler failed to
quality fast enough, and the dis
Gus, which escaped Pangburn, may
mean the loss of valuable points
It does mean the spread OF
entries over as much territory as
possible and that cuts down the
for points. So it's be-
ing watched with interest. The
angle is that perhaps entries in
other schools may not exceed the
local number, and then it'll become
a dogfight over a few chosen fields.

ADDRESS UNKNOWN
By KreSsman TAYLOR

You will read Address Unknown
in half an hour-and remember II
for the rest Of your life.
This unforgettable short story is
only "a pages long. 1t contains on
ly three characters, two of them
speaking in an exchange of letters
the third being the chief subject
Of their correspondence. With an
opening which might be called al
most gentle, Address Unknown
quickly builds up to climax and
an ending worthy of De Maupas-
SAINT.
This is, Of course, far more than
a beautifully and powerfully written
story. It's author understands how
human beings behave under violent
pressure, how they respond with
fear, defiance, revenge and passion
to such a condition of life as exists
in Germany today. All this un-
derstanding gives her a deep, tragic
realization of all that Hitlerism
means. Kressmann Taylor has, in
a few perfect strokes, stripped the
regime down to its meaning In
terms of three representative hui
man beings whose destiny sym
bolizes the destinies of millions.

aims imperial history, emphasizing
the Importance of India. He dis
sects the two Englands Of today
"Gentlemanly England" and Ser
vile England" the England of the
old school tie, and the England of
the dole.
Only the last third of the book
deals with England's present posi-
ton and even that is not primar-
lily political" Mr.. Briffault sees
British foreign policy having to
choose between two dangers-Fas-
cism and social revolution. At the
moment, Chamberlain finds fascism
less dangerous, but in aiding Hitler
he may be the architect of his own
destruction.
