...Manhattan, 500 members of the United Brewers Industrial Foundation worried about the possible war shortage of hops unless the U. S. modifies its acreage restrictions, deplored "unsocial" conditions in some bars, with an eye on such sleepless adversaries as Mrs. Boole's W.C.T.U., pointed proudly to their good housekeeping in cleaning up dubious dispensaries (resulting in the suspension of 120 licenses in seven States), elected tanned, towering, outdoorsy Carl Baden-hausen president, went home to their breweries...
...conferees would presumably undertake as their main job the codifying of Herr Hitler's "statute of security." Security sounds good to the French; it is their favorite national word.

But he was on a spot, for if he came out flatly for war support, his smart...
...minutes before several German planes had for no apparent reason bombed a farmhouse. They went away, and after a while seven women who were desperately in need of food went out to scratch for potatoes; not really good ones-small potatoes. They had to eat even if there was a war, and those potatoes were all they could...
