- HE economic outlook in Europe, as
seen through Mr.. Hoover's keenly ap-
- praising eye, is so mcuh more prom1s-
ing than was once expected that we may meet
number of disappointments and SILL nave
good reason for rejoicing.
The seriousness of the wars after-effects is
not to be minimized; even under the fa1rest
lights which optimism can borrow, the pros
pect is somber enough. In many nome
there will be hunger and in many region
grave problems of recovery, for long time
to come. So many billions Of wealth as this
war turned to smoke and wreckage cannot be
DESTROYED without leaving the whole world
uoorer and the immediate victims sorely
straitened. Three thousand miles away though
we are, we of this country are paying now
and shall continue to pay through seasons Tar
ahead, for the havoc which mad mfl1tar1sm
played on the other side of the water. In our
abundance and unwearied vigor, we are hard
ly aware of the toll But imagine what 1t
must be for the countries in the wake OF the
Prussian juggernaut, and for those round
about! No wonder men had visions Of Europe
sunk in bankruptcy and going wild with Boil
shevism.
Hence Mr.. Hoover's report, though not ex-
ceedingly sanguine, brings marked encourage
ment. The neutral States he describes as
"flourishing' and in need of no concern. More
favorable STILL "Rumania, Greater Siberia,
Bulgaria, Arabia, Turkey, Except Armenia),
Portugal, Greece and Hungary will soon be
virtually self-supporting." 1t appears indeed,
that some of these countries should be able
to export food, and can pretty we'll provide
for all their necessities, except perhaps rail
way reconstruction material, agricultural i'm
plements and currency reorganization" Like
wise Poland and the Baltic States are expect
ed to produce almost enough grain and vege-
tables for their own needs though they will
be precariously short of fats. Given means
for currency reorganization and some work
ing capital, "they should, with economy, be
self-supporting within few months" Czecho-
Slovakia, Finland and Belgium present deep
er but by no means disheartening problems.
Thus for the smaller belligerents as we'll as
for the neutrals of the war-clouded zone,
light is already breaking. The chief nations,
it is true, have vastly greater burdens, and
for years, no doubt, they will be in need or
American assistance. But in the main the
situation seems reassuring Con the assump-
ton, of course, that peace is at hGnd) and
| free-or at least getting free-from some or
the grimmest specters that haunted mems
minds.
Given a chance to investigate, Senator
| Lodge decided to delegate the job.

THE MALICIOUS
BV H. AddinptOn RrucA
.LICIOUS people are of two types
the actively malicious and the pas

W
~ sively malicious. Between the two
there is a difference not of kind but merely
of degree.
The actively malicious are people who de-
light in belittling and injurng others
whether by petty gossip or outright SANDER
The passively malicious find a strange pleas
ure in hearing of anything that is to the
discredit of other people.
They may not themselves have SANDER
Gus tongues. But they lend willing ears to
SANDER, and news Of misfortune has a Pc
culiar fascination for them.
Eagerly they read newspaper reports of
tragic happenings. The latest Sensation
in crime or vice is their favorite topic of
conversation.
There must, of course, be reason for
this. Morbid interest in misfortune cannot
be of accidental occurrence.
Inquire closely into the history of these
actively or passively malicious ones and you
will always find that they are people who
have in some degree become embittered by
personal disappointments.
Hopes and lOngings have been frustrated
They have not gained. the success in life
the happiness which they naturally crave
In one way or another they have proved
unequal to the tests of existence.
This has bred in them a feeling of infe-
riority under which they inwardly writhe
They would fain be free from it, would in
some way win the assurance that after all,
they are superors, not interiors.
Hence anything which reflects unfavorably
on other people is pleasing to them, if only
because it gives them the much desired feel
ing of superiority. Consciously or subcon-
sciously they can now console themselves
with the thought:
81 am better and wiser than these foolish
persons WHO have got themselves into such
difficult situations. Nothing so unfortunate
would ever happen to me, because I know
how to avoid it,
You do not find the truly happy and truly
successful in the ranks of the malicious.
They have no mean-minded interest in
gossip, SANDER and the misfortunes of 9th
ers, not merely because they are too intent
on other things, but also because they have
no psychological need for relief from self
torturing sentiments.
They do not need to assure themselves of
superiority. Their minds quite at ease
on this point
And the pity of it is that the malicious,
by reason of their over-attention to other
peoples troubles, are blocking their own
way to similar peace of mind.
If they would devote to mental culture
and personal development but a portion of
the time and thought they give to unpleas-
| ant things they would soon emancipate them
selves from the inferiority which so dis
tresses them.
AS things stand their future is dark in
deed They are their own worst enemies,
booming themselves to lifelong mediocrity
and woe.

SPRUCE UP!
By DR.. Frank Crane

Yesterday the word was "Save!"
Save money and buy Liberty Bond or a
War Stamp. Save food. Don't get that au-
tomobie or piano fur coat you had your
eye on. Save up, deny yourself and win the
war.
Now the war is over. We are confronted
with a new problem, not so dangerous and
thrilling, but more complex certainly, and
rather serious, the problem of reconstruction,
of getting two million men back to civilian
work.
| How can we all help? How can I help?
And for this the government has an an
swer. 1t is:
BUY NOW!
Buy intelligenty not foolishly, but buy.
If we all go and get the purchases we have
| been contemplating it will stimulate the
merchant carrier, and manufacturer. There
will be demand for labor. And the return
ing soldiers will find employment.
| The government has realized this and is
appealing for the patriotic cooperation of the
public.
I met Major Church the other day, wide
awake engineer with seeing eyes and mind
with a sweep; he is wearing the uniform of
the army and is engaged in the work of help
| ing the soldier find job He said somewhat
to this effect:
"What we all need to do is to spruce up.
"There are two elements in industry
first, productions; and, second, maintenance.
For the past year so, during the war,
we have been straining every energy to pro-
duce. And we have paid little attention to
maintenance.
'The consequence is we are a bit frayed.
| Things about the place are out at the toe and
down at the heel.
1--WE ought to turn our attention to
renovation and repair The front bedroom
needs papering, the house coat of paint.
The factory should be overhauled. WORKOUT
machinery ought to be replaced.
eff we all build up our neglected fences,
fireplace WORKOUT parts by new, build the
needed new wing, polish, scour, patch. and
mend, will find work to do for all the
| hands now idle
| Roger w. Babson, Director General of the
Education Service of the Department of
Labor, says all this is up to the Ultimate Con-
sumner, meaning you and me, and asserts that
if we want things to hum, business to be
geared up to high speed, labor to be en-
p1oyed, and everybody happy, we should Buy
Now.
Now is the time, he says, when few addi-
| tional purchases added to the daily necessity
purchases will increase the grand total of
sales to such magnitude that the merchant
will be obliged to replenish his stock a
large scale. The wholesaler, the. manufac-
turer, and the producer of materials will
be obliged to increase their production. A
demand will be created for all the goods
which the workingman produces. There will
be job for each jobess man. General con-
fidence will be restored. Business will be
booming. Reconstruction and rehabilitation
of war activities into peace industries will
go on quietly, energetically, healthily, uncon-
sciously. Prosperity will come again--a nor
NAL prosperity of peace with industries run
ming at full time and the worker at his bench
or his desk.
So all you need to remember in this article
is four words:
Two of Babson's, "BUY NOW"
And two of Church'c SPRUCE UP!"

EDITH CAVELl.'S BODY
BROUGHT TO ENGLAND

The body OF Edith Cavell. the
British nurse executed In Brussels by
the Germans in 1915. for helping
her imprisoned countrymen back
to England. will be brought from
Belgium to England on May Is. for
interment In the cemetery OF her
home town. Norwich.
The body will be brought to Dow
er on warship and will be trans
ported on n gun-carriage with full
military escort. Services will be
held In Westminster Abbey, Lon
don.
With the exception of the sinking
OF the Lusitania. there was perhaps
no single instance of German bru-
tality that so aroused the wrath and
Indignation of the civilized world.
Her name became the battle cry on
the lips of British soldiers. who
shouted: Remember Cavell!" as
they went over the top.
The heroic dead nurse probably
would have no dearer wish than that
her body would lie in the homeland
she loved and served so well.-A. X.
