The Dead Center
Frederick A. Hatch.

The dictionary tells that the dead center
is the point where the connecting rod has no
power to turn the crank. 1t occurs at each end
of the stroke.
1t is quite possible that many in Pueblo will
have DAYS in the coming months when they
seem to be dead center. Reconstruction is a
more complicated matter than construction
But the main point is not to allow the mind to get
on n dead center. Lack of materials, of labor,
or of credit, is not half grave as lack of men

each end of the stroke. The mental come back

Budapest, April s. - Reports that

Switzerland have hepn received here.
and his arrival in that country Is con-
sidered by Count Albert Apponyi, form
or Hungarian premier. as closing the
incident arising from the i'll starred at
tempt. of Charles to re establish him
self as king Of Hungary. In conver-
sntion with the Associated Press yes
tcrday. the former premier expressed
the opinion that Charles was ''prob.
ably duped by a colossal hoax--the
work Of foreigners for the purpose Of
promoting some design not understood
here"
This regrettable incident. which Is
now over" the former premier con =
tinued, "at least proved the stability
of the Hungarian state. Hungarians
did not share in the plot to restore
Charles to his former royal estate, for
even the most ardent Carlists we're

rival in this country.
Long experience in Hungarian po.
iitical life enables me to forecast that
the incident will not have serious con
sequences. Although Magyars are bois.

in difficult hours. There will be no
long discussion Of the incident, nor
will an inquiry be made. because they
would injure the interests Of Hungary.
