History Repeals Athens, Kome, Corfu these names, figuring1 in reports from the war-menaced Mediterranean area, carry readers back 2.000 or more years and bring them again down to date and leave them with the question: Does the world wag upward or downward? The events of today in the eastern Mediterranean narrated in nonmodemized terms ran in much the same fashion as do histori- es written before the Christian era. Rome and Greece clashed' then; and Corcyra. or Corfu, might have been the target of the ancient Koine's fleet then, as it was of modern Rome's fleet yesterday. For more than 2,000 years Romans and Grecians have been;iom r.murknbiy frenmnt in rwni neighbors and they are still readv to fly at one another's throats. Hir" Thi;y ,lttVe ",a,lc1 om "",,,'r . , - .

It is one of those expectant times, when a hush seems to settle everywhere, and nobody feels like starting the phonograph, and nobody dares ask when supper will be ready. Hut it is ready, alter while, and the star number on the pro gram is a peach cobbler. There are some peach preserves, still warm, and the members of the family silently reflect that there were sliced poach for breakfast, a peach pie for the noon meal and every tune the baby asked for a piece between meals he was given a peach and told to run outdoors and play. One of the great gustatory victories of the year has just been won. The peaches have been canned. Out on the kitchen table they stand those two dozen quarts of peaches, in a double row, handsome little soldiers, ready to be marched off to pantry or to fruit cellar.
