Changes Effected by All the Treaties; Agreements and Plebiscites Are Recorded to Date-Show Rem-

WaShington.-"May colonists encountered a new continent in 1920; Americans of 1921 can almost imagine their sensations as we gaze at map of the New Europe" says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society.
 "To man who has been on Mars since 1914, the continental Europe of 1921, save for it's peninsulas and islands, virtually would be a new world" continues the bulletin, issued in connection with a map recently pub- lished by the society to record changes effected by all treaties, agreements and plebiscites to date.
 "Even a bird's-eye view of the made over continent would disclose:

With All But One Arm ParaIyzed, Hal Ehrig Learns Painting
 and Music.
MAKES BIG MONEY AT BOTH
Injury That Laid Him Up Is Rather a Mystery to the Medical Profession, but He Has Hopes That He Will
 Be on His Feet Again.

Chicago.-How much courage and optimism would you have left if you had lain on your back for seven years, able to open your mouth one inch, and the rest of you numb and lifeless ex- cept your left arm? Would you feel very much like taking up painting and music and Russian wolf hounds, and making your living by them?
 Hal Ehrig, 646 West 61st street, sur vived two serious motorcycle acci- dents, one in 1911 in an endurance race to Michigan City and another in 1912 in the bowl at Riverview park. Each time his left hip was badly in- jured, but each time he recovered with apparently no permanent disability. But with Hal, the third time was the charm. While driving an automobile at dusk he encountered a drainage ditch in the road. The car overturned on his body, lacerating the same hip.
 In Bed Seven Years.
 To-day he lies in half reclining pc sition in bed by the window. He has lain that way for seven years. But he has a smile on his face and un- shaken belief that few years will see him on his feet again, playing with his Russian wolf hounds.
 My injury is rather a mystery to the medical profession" said he. i've got wonderful appetite and eat my three square meals every day. But l can't move except this one arm." And he gripped the wooden bar that runs parallel to his bed and raised him. self. "The doctors explain my condi- tion as being nervous shock-when the left hip frightened up it pulled the other side of me for support.
 q could feel myself stiffening all over. I didn't know how long l was going to be laid up. but decided to be as comfortable as I could. So had

l 'em prop me up with pillows like I am now.
 q intended going into the jewelry business at the time I was hurt. But. of course, couldn't go on with that. And so for while I just lay here"
 One day a girl friend who dropped in to see Hal brought along box of pastels that she didn't want. She knew he had been clever with his pencil at one time and thought he might amuse himself with them.
 'Tm naturally right-handed," went on Hal. "But there's nothing like trying. I played around with the pastels and copied a magazine cover. There it is" He pointed to the wall. "When I found I could use the old mitt I got an old Bohemian artist to show me how to handle oils. He left something of his own over here one day and I copied 1t. He couldn't tell lem apart"
 The living room of the Ehrig abode is bright with evidences of Halls south paved artistry. And he's sold lot more, two of them for $50 each. Some of his canvases are six feet long. Hal has them suspended from the bar run ming parallel with his bed and works as if painting on the ceiling.
 How He Took Up Music.
 Now for the music.
 q took up song writing about three years ago." Hal went on-, Some fellows were over seeing who could write the best poetry. They liked mine. and we sent 1t to a music house to have 1t put to music. It was war song called "When We Whirl Into Berlin" Some copies went to a pal of mine overseas and it pretty near started a riot. The boys wanted to dash right up to the front"
 Since his initial venture into the realm of song Hal has written several more.
 "Tm crazy about music" he con tinued, "but really think I'll make most of my money on my dogs. Got two of 'em-Russisn wolf hounds, worth $5.OOO. They're wonderful dogs. I expect to open exclusive kennels and sell puppies. A pup brings as much as $200.
 'You know, when went to bed was q years old and 5 feet 2 inches tall. Now I am 2S years old and I'm 6 feet inches tall. And my face. hasn't changed-I don't look a day older than when I was hurt Funny, isn't it?"

 Formerly the average layman re- garded a map much as he did a rail road time table. It was essential up- on rare occasions. Today the well informed must employ a map to under stand the great educational value of his daily newspaper.
 ''To him who reads a map with the care that he scans the printed column the map will impart Its fascinating story of historic peoples, their present-day struggles, the constant intersection of the human being and his physical en- vironment."

 Evening dresses of chiffon taffeta with capes to match are among the alluring new arrivals. They are the last word in beautiful colors, with bouffant skirts in the new length and voluminous capes that nearly cover them. The capes are lined with chif- fon, usually in a contrasting color, and there is a gleam of this color through the thin silk, as in a\cape of light blue with pale orange for the lining. Very fine plaitings of the silk are used in bands for trimming and in collars that have the appearance of a full ruche about the throat. These gay trappings are worn with hose and slippers to match them in color. They have no responsibilities other than to clothe beauty most beautifully.

 Of their passions and their spites,
 Of their glory and their shame;

afterward the old clan, in full
strength, rode toward the big, dim
blue hills with Bill Dale acting as its
leader. 1t was to be the clans last
fight, and a fight for a good cause,
and every man of it was eager for
the fray.
Bill Dale bore himself proudly, and
he rode like a man born 10 the sad
die. He found queer joy-a joy
that frightened his steel-grey eyes
and flushed his sunburned cheeks, u
Joy that he didn't even attempt to
understand-in the thought:
"For this one day | am clan chief );
l am leading my own people against
a foe, in my own country"
And so overwhelmingly did the idea
take hold of him that he wished, even
then, for the repeater that awaited
him at his office back in the heart of
the mountains. Once his conscience
asked him question-and he an
swered it with another question Was
he doing that which was right? Might
not the LittIefords all be killed by
those drunken cutthroatS while he
was waiting for the arrival of com
pany of militia from city miles dis

Anyway, the militia would fight. His
clan would do no more than that He
satisfied his conscience quickly.
When they had reached the lower
end of the cleared valley, there came
to them the sounds of slow firing, the
firing of snipers. Each man kicked
his horses TANKS and rode faster.
When they came in sight of the be
sieged building, they saw puffs of pow
der-smoke rising lazily from the upper
windows and from the mountain side
above and to the right. Again they
kicked the TANKS of their horses and
rode faster.

dism0unted hastily and turned their
horses into the drab meadow. With
