BOOKS ARE BEST FRIENDS
Living With the Imauininvs Of the
Great Writer'S, We, Too. Learn
10 Dream.

When once love of books has come
into q mans life he can never be
lonely, he can never be bored, he
can never lose his interest in life,
he can never be quite unhappy.
Books are the friends that never fail,
and the men and women that only
live in books are the best and most
real friends Of all.
If we're 10 set down the names
Of the twenty friends who mean
most to NE, | should find that more
than half of them lived in the nov
els of Dickens and Thackeray, Du-
mas and Daudet, Wells and Hardy
and Meredith, Sidney Dark writes
in John O. Iondon's Weekly.
The happy life is not spent alto
gether in the world Of streets and
shops and offices. A large part Of it
must be lived in the world Of imagi-
nation. And living with the mag
inings Of great writers, we, too,
learn to dream, and the happiest
homes in the world are the castles
in the air hat we build for our
selves. They are, indeed, the only
homes the foundations Of which are
unshakable rocks.

POOR OF balkans ,.t .,.a.
r HAVING HARD TIME
Well Fed Americans Wonder How
They Subsist on Food They
Receive

BELGRADE, SERBIA. Nov. L.
To the American visitor, accustomed
to the ordinary comforts of life, it is
constant source Of wonderment
how the peasants and poor Of he
Balkans are able to exist on the
meagre food they have. Corn breed
of poor quality, supplemented with
goats cheese or ordinary leek or
onions, forms the diet of large part
of the village population. This slen-
der regimen produces robust bodies,
strong muscles and rosy cheeks. The
old adage that breed is the staff Of
life finds its best proof here.
On the whole, the poor if theBal-
kan countries have an unusually hard
lot in life. Their poverty seems to ex-
permanent. Their plight seems to ex-
cite little sympathy from those who
are we'll off. There is a callousd in
difference to the sufferings Of the
poor which strikes an American as
almost heartless. In few if any of
the Balkan states does the govern
ment make any provisions for the
care of the poor. This work in the
past has been left largely 20 foreign
relief agencies and private charitable
organizations.
- The eight-hour working day so
common in the United States is un-
knon the rural districts of the Bal
kans. The peasant works from sun
rise until after dark. He is so bent
and weather-scarred that he looks
twice his age after go In some cases
he belongs to nomadis tribes and
leads an existence unknown in the
country districts of America. At |
night one often passes whole wagon
loads of them on the road going !
from town to town. Every man is
asleep on the top of his load, and is
not disturbed by thoughts of bur-
glars or highwaymen.
The peasant removes his hat to
every one better dressed than him
self and gets his ox-cart off the road
for every automobile that passes. He
is simple, honest, home-loving
person with much homely virture.
The peasant women have enormous
families of children, about half of
whom ever survive the rigors of
child life in the extreme conditions
thtt prevail in the Balkans.
The cottages of the peasants are
crude structures with matched roofs
and mud walls. But they contrive to
adorn them with attractive exteriors
and take great pains to produce the
utmost decorative effect. This en-
Enlistment frequently takes the
form of a porch with wall back
ground bearing border design
whose contrasting colors and com.
posietion suggest the patterns used
by the Navajos of the American
Southwest in their blankets and car
pets.
But while the exteriors of the home
are attractive, a peep into the in
terror shows the economic stress
under which these people live. There
Is seldom any kind of food except
coarse corn meal. The cooking uten-
Sils are limited to few homemade
pewter pots. The furniture consists
of table and a few rudely-con-
Structed benches. The beds usually
are pitched upon the floor or upon
