Ghosts Of Yesterday"
AMERICANS, DIFFERENT
They Regard Dawn Of History. as Be.
ginning With Pilgrim Fathers
and courtshfp Of Miles
Standish.

The basis of all European argument
is history. A European can dive
headlong into a mass Of historical
facts and semi-historical facts, come
up grasping handful of bleached
bones and rattle them together loudly
enough to drown out all other sounds
within a ten mile radius.
To Americans who are accustomed
to regard the founding of Plymouth
colony and the courtship Of Miles
Standish as the very dawn of history
the European history hound is an in
comprehensive and unmitigated bore
Kenneth L. Roberts writes In the Sat.
urday Evening Post He won't talk
about anything but history. In the
course Of twenty minutes converse
ton he drags in unpronounceable
names, dates with six inches of dust
on them. tribes of people that haven't
done any active tribing since the
year 1899, and battles that took place
three years before the Norman con-
quest of Britain was thought of. He
also expects his listeners to have a
perfect and complete understanding of
everything he is talking about
This habit is not restricted to one
or two central Europeans, but is COM
mon to nearly all of them. The
Poles. the Czechs, the Slovaks, the
Ukrainians, the Magyars, the Serbs,
the Croats, the Hungarians, the Ro-
manians-all of them quote history in
support of their claims that they de-
serve more than they possess.
When a central European gets his
legs under a table and starts to dis
course on his culture he can run on
for hours at time unless he is forcf
bly, shut OF. He argues either that
the other nations stole their culture
from his own. The Czechs, for exam.
pie, snort loudly at Magyar culture,
saying that the Magyars stole what
little they have from the Slovaks.
This makes the Magyars almost wild
with rage and they howl frantically
that the Czechs are rude and culture
less and that the Magyar culture is
worth eighteen or twenty cultures like
that of the Czechs. They speak of
their cultures in much the same way
as chiefs of laboratories discuss diph-
liberia cultures. They mention them
as though they could be injected into
the forearm with hypodermic needle.
To an outsider who is getting his
eightieth or ninetieth cultural earful
in the course of about two weeks
most of the central European culture
conversation sounds about the same
as a cultural squabble between the
cities of Terre Haute, Kansas City,
Ell Paso and Elmira would sound.

WOULD YOU BE POPULAR q?

On this subject the following hints.
which are, OF course, sarcastic, are
worth cttention:-
Always talk about yourself. 1t shows
individuality and high degree OF self,
respect.
Talk frequently. People may lose
valuable ideas by your silence; besides, it
is wicked to waste time by listening to
the idle chatter of other folks.
when you are hearing a story you
have heard before, do not fail to inter
rupt and tell the narrator that he is re-
lating something as old as the hills. 1t
saves valuable time, and will prevent
him from feeling foo! SHY vain OF ms
powers.
always make as much litter as you
can. 1t may provide employment tor
those who might otherwise suffer from
listlessness and Incidence.
Never speak i'll Of your friends. a
much greater effect may be produced II
you sigh and shake your head when
their names are mentioned. The listeners
will then understand that their short
comings are two serious to be dealt with
in mere speech.
IF you are mo- universally loved and
respected after this, put it down to the
d~epravity of mankind. - ~Oerydoy Life.
