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

Kitchen Victory
That fragrant sleiiming that drifts in from the kitchen is bo.
ginning to permeate the entire house, and tho wise and immedi
ate relatives of the busy, flushed and tired housewife have not
a word to say.
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. Think of winter days,
when the lights will have lo be lit before the evening meal!
