A book that should hold first place as best seller and sell by thousands of copies is Days of Our Years" by Pierre Van Paas- sen, who have covered the Eur opean scene for the past twenty years, and knows Europe better than any favored ambassador ever sent to the Court Of St. Janlec. Says he in that book: Long ago 1t was said-what a man sows that shall he also reap. The apparent triumph of evil in a historical period such as ours Is not mere accidental urlre- lated phenomena. Because there Is violence and oppression and hatred, so Gods law works out with relentless precision. When c fundamental law of Nature such as universal brotherhood Is trod- den underfoot, no other result can be expected but confusion, hatred and war. The flames of China, the atrocities and massalores of the common people of Spain, re- veals that our whole social order, to It's very foundations, as being built on colossal greed, mammon- ism, heartless exploitation of the people, disregard of elementary human rights and violence. A peace based on revenge, as sonle- one has said, that could not pro- duce anything else but Hitlers and their ugly entourage. The old democratic parliamentary institutions cannot be saved. They have had their time. A new type of man is emerging - the mass-man. But Fascisan carries in its bosom the seed of its own disintegradation. Out of mans dissatisfaction and longing new worlds are born. The old Chris tianity, which identified itself with the old order will perish with that order. It has been weighed and found wanting. It will be & new Christianity that will come up from the depths of the cata- combs of suffering and sorrow. A 1lCW 1Clib4Oif tliUv WAL OSAvO ~AsS elementary problems of human existence, the conquest of eco- homie slavery and poverty and peace"
 What a contrast are such words to the biased reports of ambas- sadors who are supposed to rep resent the interests of the people. One of the most influential of British Liberal journals, says an- other writer, writing some years before the war of 19l4-l6, de- scribed the altogether extraorcli- nary conditions which for a con- siderable period had come to pre- vail in European diplomacy. "It seemed" the journal urged, Gas is civilization in Europe in the highest environment of culture had returned to conditions of primitive savagery."

cried. Right you are!" Then - And now.
Mrs. Holly, your question. Who said: Yes,

assuredly we shall all hang separately'?'
'Um Benjamin Franklin?"
Nice going, honey!" exclaimed the boy,
to the delight of the audience How'd you
know that?"
The girl laughed. Don't be so surprised

The Professor sighed with relief They we're

take the chance?"
The audience set up chant of Yes! yes!'
But the boy saw something in his wife's eyes.
Can we talk it over for second?" he asked.
GO right ahead!" said the Professor. I'VE
don't want either of you saying I told you So
after it's all over"
The Professor had hoped the conference
would be public, but he was disappointed.
The boy was whispering inaudibly to the girl.
The smile never left his face, nor hers.
Let's take the chance honey -"
oh darling. no. That thirty dollars would
keep us going until - until one of US found
something -"
Honey, honey, that hundred would take
us home. Home! Where can get Job! We've
lived on coffee and cakes for two months now!"

'All - or nothing, breathed the girl; then

said the boy.

approving shout of the audience. ''And the

perplexity The studio audience held its
breath as her lips parted to speak, then
groaned in vicarious anguish as she shook her

The sombre blast of horn marked the
twenty second time limit. OH cried the

long silence. I'm glad you missed that last

You're not just saying that to make me

eagerly.
No, dear. I'm really glad If we'd won
the hundred, we'd have gone home. 1t d have
been too tempting. And we'd have been sorry
ever after. Because we can lick this town.

She caught his hand fercely in her own as
they swung along with lighter step. A tune
ran persistently through her head to the
rhythm of their stride; an old, familiar tune
. with an old, familiar lyric:

He is trambling out the rintage where the
grapes Of Vrath are stored -.
How often her grandfather had sung it to
her, and how vividly he had described the
boys in blue marching off to war to its majes-
tic cadence. The Battle Hymn of the Re-

really meant it when he said for richer or
poorer - get him to appear on this program
with you. Each pair of contestants is asked
four questions. The husband answers the first
and third. the wife the second and fourth. The
lady, here as everywhere, has the last word
you see.
The first three questions are worth ten
dollars apiece. That is, if you know the
answers. You may retire from competition
with your ten. or twenty, or thirty dollars if
you wish. But if you take chance on the
fourth question - and answer it correctly -
you get total of - one hundred dollars! But
if you miss -" the Professors voice dropped
in dismal accent - nothing. All or nothing!
Ready now for our first pair of contestants"
"A Mr.. AND Mrs. FESs of the Bronx, New
York. answered the first three questions put
to them. Mrs. Fess, however, refused to
jeopardize their thirty dollars on the final
question in spite of the pleas of the audience
and the cajolery of the Professor.
Mr. and Mrs. Garmisch of New Jersey were
even more disappointing. Mr.. Garmisch elimi-
mated his team by missing the very first
question. The program was beginning to
suffer great lull. The Professor nodded to the
attractive young couple to step forward,
though he had intended to save them for the
finale.
The audience murmured approvingy as
they came to the mike. The boy's s friendly grin
had the crowd with him already, and as for
the girl - the Professor found himself hoping
fervently that they'd romp through the set of
questions tor the hundred dollar award.
Your name?" the Professor asked.
Frederick Holly, sir, said the young man.
And my wife Annabelle." 1t was low,
pleasant voice. no trace of nervousness.
And your occupation?"

And good one, I'll wager"
Cant be too modest about anything in my
business. so III admit I'm pretty good.
Least. I've done mighty we'll for being in
New York just three months"
The audience rippled with pleasure. The
boys engaging grin freed his statement of
bravado. 1t was just a simple fact, simply put.
And you, Mrs. Holly? Housewife, pre-
sume?"
The girl coored little as attention shifted
to her and nodded. Yes, sir. she said softly.
Here now!' protested her husband. Don't
let her get away with that, Mr. Professor!
Annabelle's just about the best fashion de-
signer you ever saw. and if she's any great
shakes as a housewife. they haven't given
her time to let her prove it to me yeti"

Beer Taverns
Decrease Here
Bergersen Says.
Still Too Mony"

The number of beer taverns in
operation in Tacoma and elsewhere
throughout the state is decreasing,
Mayor Cain told the council Mon
day in reply to a question raised
last week by Works Commissioner
Bergersen.
Bergersen had charged that
there are too many beer tay-
erns In operation in Tacoma
and that something should be
done to discourage new ones.
Cain said Monday he had car
ried out his promise 10 discuss the
situation with Admiral Luther
Gregory. chairman of the state
liquor control board. at Olympia.
Il was informed" said the
mayor. that no new beer taverns
have been licensed In Tacoma in
one and one-half years. and that
the number here and elsewhere in
the state is steadily decreasing.
In Tacoma. there were 100 such
places licensed In 1888, ia in
1899 and 16s in 1e40. There have
been changes In ownership and
management, and occasional shifts
In location but no new establish
ments have been authorized"
Bergersen said afterward he
still feels there are too many
Of them In Tacoma for the
city's population.
Cain quoted Chairman Gregory
as being much pleased with efforts
Of most of the tavern operators
here TO police" their own estab-
