AGE AND BITTERNESS
BY WALT MASON

Too many men, when they grow old,
are prone to sit around and scold, and
view things with alarm; they spend
the long hours heaying signs, and
everything that meets their eyes is
void of worth and charm. too am old
and oft | feel so tough I'd like to
raise a spiel of sorrow and dismay;
distressed by rheumatic and govt, I'd
like TO tell the world about golden
yesterday. But when l take my Tyre
in hand, to celebrate a past long
canned, | feel that I am wrong; the
world is still fine resort; the fact
that makes me kick and snort is that
I've lived so long. The world is right
side up with care, and old men
shouldn't tear their hair. and say it's
slipping cogs; it still rolls on around
the sun. and girls and boys who have
their fun aren't going TO the dogs. We
all admire the fine old guy who views
the people going by, and views them
with a grin, who joins the laughter OF
the young, and doesn't sprain a wither-
ed lung to prove that mirth's a sin
But if an ancient gent is sore and sits
beside his cottage door to prove all
things are wrong, he finds he has a
| lonesome job, for no one cares to hear
a sob when he can hear song.

while the senate and house are divided on a

Among other outstanding achievements of
the last six months the Bulletin points out the
following:
"The presidents character has impressed
itself on the country as that of a sterling
American of the type which wins its way into the
affections of men and women because it is asso-
ciated with that great heartedness which makes
the world world kin. His administration free
from parade or ostentation, has made him
stronger with the public than is his party in con-
gress, despite it's enormous Republican majority.
In the field of world politics his international
policies have gained him prestige that is all the
more forceful and influential because the nobil-
ity of his ideals, which foreign rulers and states
men eulogize, is conjoned with obvious prac-
ticality.

Six Months of President Harding

The. country generally is satisfied with the
first six months of President Harding's admin
stration and with the results accomplished by
congress, much of the legislation being of major
proportions.
An earnest effort has been made to cut down
the overhead expenses of government, and al
though the public still believes only small
beginning has been made, it comedies that some
of our heavy expenses were inherited from the
last administration and cannot be eliminated at
once.
The Philadelphia Bulletin believes President
Harding's program of economy and efficiency is
progressing satisfactorily, and that he is not
chargeable in any degree with the hardness in
relieving the public of burdensome taxation

Three-Cent Meals and Reconstruction
BY FREDERIC J. HAskIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 10
How meals are being served for as
little as three cents apiece to students
in half a dozen European countries,
that they may continue their studies,
and so prevent the complete break
down of higher education in Europe,
is told in a report upon a year OF
activity by the Worlds Student Chris
tian Federation. 1t is one of several
organizations that are working to help
university students in Europe.
The European universities were i'm

under bridges. In Vienna two students
were found dead of starvation In Ger
many educated men have been discov-
cred working as street cleaners and
women of refinement as charwomen, in
order to obtain money to enable them
to take their university degrees.
Pointing out that it is rule of the
Worlds Student Christian Federation
to help only those who have done their
utmost to help themselves, the report
emphasizes the fact that the promotion
OF self-help is in itself inadequate even
to approximate the need. tuberculosis
is rife in the various universities, and
physical debility resulting from pro-
tracted hardships and undernourish-
ment makes manual work before and
after college hours extremely danger
Gus for many of the students. The
method of self help, again, cannot be
applied properly to meet the needs of
most of the so-called foreign stu
dents, in whose assistance the FEEDER
alton is actively engaged. These
foreign students. of whom thousands
are now scattered over Central Europe,
are one result of the reformation OF
the map of Europe and the Russian
Revolution. There are Hungarians
who have fed from provinces annexed
70 Roumania; Austrians who have fed
from provinces annexed to. Hungary
Germans from provinces annexed to
Hungary; Germans from provinces an

from home by the Soviet occupation of
their country, and everywhere Russian
