 CAESAR BROWN was F when he learned that, although the fight for American independence had been won in the Revolution, democracy still had to be fought for within the newborn nation. Poor, but not proud of it, he asked for the hand of the colonels daughter and was horse whipped in reply. His aunt's advice was "Over the mountains to the West-there is Freedom"
 Caesar, central figure in West Goes the Road" by Tim Pridgen (Doubleday-Doran: $2.50), pulled up stakes and found that freedom in the wilderness-but danger, too, for those were the days when not only the Indians, but the English in Canada, the Spanish in the southwest, and the French in Loui- siana constituted a menace. There was the treachery of Aaron Burr and General Wilkinson to contend with, but then, too, there was the charm of the exotic Julie French woman, and Dimity, who loved Cae- Sar too.
 Good romance, filled with adven. ture, and breezily paced.

N. H. CONFERENCE
 RUNS INTO SNAC
Note of Pessimism Studs Breton Woods Sessions
 Now in Sixth Day
By ELMER c. WALZER United Press Financial EdltOr)

Breton Woods, N. H., July G. (UP-The United Nations monetary and financial conference entered its sixth day today on a note of pes- simism, but informed experts said the delegates would formulate a world stabilization plan before the deadline, July 19-two weeks hence.
 Dr. Harry White, official spokes- man for the conference, told his press conference that the meetings could end without agreement and other official sources bore out this theme.
 Two important committees have run into snaps. They have sent their particular sections back to the tech- nical experts who will rephrase the disputed items and bring them back to the commissions for formal approval.
 There are three principal items on which delegates are snagged. The experts say none of them is particularly significant. They are:
 1. Quotas which will be put up by the various nations in setting up the giant international monetary fund-a fund of $8,000, 900, 900 of local currencies and gold.
 2. A paragraph which some del- egation wanted inserted to say the plan should promote the settlement of abnormal indebtedness arising out of the war. This applie to large bolcked balance of ome nation, par- ticularly Britain.
 3. Whether the fund should per- init an increase of 25 per cent or B 1-3 per cent on the amount of currency of a particular member added to the fund in a 12-month period.
 So far the progress of the bank for reconstructionS has not been reported. Lord Keynes, head of the British delegation and the head of the commission studying the bank plan, will conduct press confer ence late today to review progress of his committee.
 Rep. Charles s. Dewey, R., H., arrived here at time when the chances of success for the barley were hittirng new lows. Dewey has his own plan for a world monetary plan which differs from the current one before the conference in that it is to be run entirely by the United States and that its capital will amount to only $500, 0,000 con- trasted with $8,00O,000, 900 for the conference fund.
 Dewey said he was an observer for the House post war policy and planning commission. He said that neither his plan nor the one before the conference would solve world problems.
 If this conference fails, another conference will have to be held. The delay may carry on beyond the end of the war in Europe leaving the world without a workable plan for reconstruction.

Sergt. Patrick Hayes Much Local History of Unusual Interest Recalled as "Out Easter" Records Highlights of Career of Veteran Police Officer - Deceased
 Left Record for Efficiency.

sacred Above all, keep away from the saloon-keepers; true, they may have some political power and au- thority, but don't give them 8 thought, if your mind is set in the right direction. They cannot harm you, unless 1t be they get a foot-hold by the non-payment of 8 drink served while you are not in uniform. Pay for everything you get, and by so doing be inde- pendent of the busniesS man as well as the politician
 And that was the way Sergeant Hayes acted all during his long life. He was not one who con- versed much during his tour of duty, in fact, he preferred to keep away from people, other than those associated in his own line of endeavor. He served with gall lant and fine lot of men in his early days on the force. MT. Egan was chief, gruff at times perhaps, but learned and valuable man for the office; Major Charles R. Ramon was the captain, with the late Thomas Dodds, the first, as Lieutenant; there were only three sergeants, the kindly John T. Pagan, Bernard Cahey, and Frank L. Blakely. There were 20 patrol men, including the beloved Mau- rice F. Noonan, probably the best known of all of the cops of 40 years ago. Every young fellow of that time now and then got a chase from Policeman Noonan; and my, how he could run. But his good heart always showed it. self; he might scold, but never ar- rest.
 Sergeant Hayes patterned him. self along the lines of Patrolman Noonan. He often made this state ment. And that was one reason why Patrick J. Hayes developed into such good police officer. Neatness in dress marked Ser- geant Hayes during his entire membership. It even followed him in death, as We observed when we took our last look at him at the Mulville mortuary.
 It took 30 long years for ad- vancement to reach Patrolman Patrick Hayes, which proves that faithful old time cops were willing to wait, and take their chances, without attempting to pull wires"
