BALKANIZED EUROPE
BY DR.. Frank Crane

The most interesting people are those who
are always in trouble.
Likewise nations. History is a record of
upheavals, flare-ups and destruction. A con-
tented and prosperous era is dismissed with
paragraph, but when a. thunderbolt like
Napoleon crashes upon the landscape signifi-
cante dates multiply.
Greece, for instance, and Rome loom large
IN the record And yet the interesting epoch
In each country embraces only about three
centuries. "'.
The picturesque and news feature area of
Europe is comprised in swath down the
middle of the map, including approximately
Poland, Jugo-Slavia, Czecho- Slovakia, Aus
tr1a, Rumania, Hungary, Jugo-Slavia and
Bulgaria. Herethere is dime novel action,
something doing every minute"
Paul Scott Mowrer has got out new book
on this region The calls it "Balkanized Eu-
rope"
Mowrer is a seasoned and expert newspa-
per correspondent, hence he is trained to see
and to know what to look for.
He has an especial qualification for Amer
Itcan readers, since he comes from the middle
west, thoroughly understands the United
States viewpoint, and hence tells us what we
want to know in language we can under
stand
For eleven years he has covered this ter
ritory, and his description is not amateur,
but mastery, sane and clear
Ihls BalkaniZed area is an neXtricable
medley of provincialisms, 1t has been over
run by countless invasions. Armies have
marched and counter marched across it's
fields. Whole peoples have migrated And
1T is now, as he puts it, "broken up into a
number of nominally nationalized states,
which are small, weak. jealous, afraid, eco
nomically dependent and pregnant with trou-
BILE OF many descriptions"
Inc stronger poWers-Turkey, Austria and
Hungary-have tried to unity parts of it by
force, but in vain The national metals were
too stubborn for any one melting pot
The war has peculiarly afflicted this ter
ritory. but the people, Mowrer says. will
neither starve from lack of food nor perish
by pestilence.
Bolshevism will gain little hold here, as it
Is repulsive to the temper of the peoples
But out Of this region, he believes, the
social formula for the solution of the diff
culties of western Europe, which earnest
statesmen are seeking. is more likely to come
than out of the backward cultures of the east.
For those who would choose for the sum-
mer book that is easy to read, full of in
formation, lively in theme and Astounding in
things to think on I strongly recommend
"Balkanized Europe" as delightful and sat
isfactory.

1T CAN'T BE DONE
By H, Addington Bruce

xTOU dream of attaining eminence in
7 you chosen calling, You picture your
self amassing wealth, gaining the
presidency Of some large corporation, direct
ing the activities Of hundreds or thousands
Of men in that corporations employ.
At the same time you fancy that you can
win all this without any special exertion on
your part, that you will be able to devote
your leisure to having "a good t1me, that
even during your working hours you will
have ample freedom to gossip and chat with
your fellow workers, to plan pleasurable di-
versions, to go and come pretty much as you
please-yet all the while rise steadily in the
business world.
1t can't be done.
Or, about to get married, you figure that
your old-time privileges will still pretty
much be yours that you still can determine
your doings with little reference to any
bodys desires but your own, that all the
time your main interest can remain your
SELF
All this you feel, is quite possible without
But the fact is:
1t can't be done.
Again, mayhap, you are married and have
brought children into the world.
You have the means to procure good
nurse for them, the means they grow
older to procure governess or tutor. Later,
you know, they will be going to school.
Thus situated it seems to you unnecessary
to give any special thought to the upbf1ng-
ing of your children. The nurse, the govern
ess or tutor, the school teacher, will take
care of that.
You can continue to think only of your
narrowly personal interests, your business,
your pleasures, your self-satisfactions. Your
children under the circumstances mentioned,
do not require direction from you. You we're
free to do as you pleased before they came
on the scene and later you will have the
satisfaction of beholding them develop into
splendidly upright and efficient men and
women.
1t can't be done.
Or perhaps, whether married single,
the head of a family or without family re-
spohsibilities of any kind, you deem it superb
Gus to take precautions in the, way of safe
guarding your health.
You do not need, you tell yourself to be
moderate in work or play. Blessed with a
vigorous constitution, you can bid defiance
to the dictates of personal hygiene.
Others may be injured by excuses, but
tune of an exceptional heredity justifies you
in going to extremes in everything you do,
with no fear of i'll effects. Again / say:
1t can't be done.
Laziness, selfishness, .thoughtlessness,
recklessness, fit not at all into any program
for the winning of happiness or success or
length of days. Each of these, on the con-
trary, is a guarantee of failure And in pro-
portion as they are combined failure will
progress to disaster.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS-Get Your Proper Rating

BY DOROTHY DIX

The most valuable piece of information we
can get is the knowledge of our possibilities
and limitations. When we know what we can
do, ana what we cannot do, we have learned
| the secret of how to make the most of our
| lives.
| 1t is a great thing to have high ambitions
land faith - ones self, but it is an idiotic
thing to aspire to heights one has not the
strength to reach, and to be full of an ash

with abilities one does not possess.
| In all the world there is no more pitiable

| themselves ut in -fruitless toll, trying to do
something beyond their feeble little powers
| throwing away the peace and comfort and
| happiness they might have had if they had
been willing to do the thing they could, and
dying at last broken and disappointed fail
ures, because they over-valued themselves.
There's hardly family but has this wreck
of a self-erectcl genius in it. Sometimes
it's girl who has pleasant little singing
voice. trifle better than that of the other
girl and boys with whom she associated. In
her vanity she magnifies it into the glorious
gift of Patti, or a Galli-Curci, and nothing
will do her but that she must have it trained.
| She goes to some city where constituencies

paying them their exorbitant fees for lessons.

who have come up from villages, sacrificing

Sometimes it is a married woman who be-

Sometimes it is youth without quickness
or wit, or glibness of tongue, or grace or
charm of manner, who insists on going in for
the law or becoming preacher, instead OF
sticking to the family grocery or foundry. Or,
perhaps it is a lad who believes himself to
be so gifted as ordinary people have to do,
but refuses to work at all unless he can start
out at the sa1.ry of bank president.

OUR LAST OIL BOOM-By Frederic j. Haskin

nth OF the amount he agrees to pay the gov
eminent for a lease. 1t is impossible to say
what the leases will sell for, but it is sug-
gested that 100000 might be the bonus on a
tract of $40 acres In addition to this, the
bidder must be prepared to sink wells and
the present cost of sinking a we'll in that
Salt Greek field is about $18O0O
An Orderly Development
The prospect, therefore, is for an orderly
development by we'll organized companies.
This oil field will have a busy and respect
able future. But it's past is not without a
touch of romance The government investi-
gators, who have been examining the titles to
various tracts, have uncovered many inter-
esting stories.
The value of the field has been known for
40 years or more, and all of it has been
taken up by prospectors, some of it many
times. The law requires that a certain
AMOUNT of work must be done on such a
claim if the claim is to be valid. These
claimants were for the most part poor men.
The field is SO miles from railroad. Bor-
ing for oil is expensive. They were able to
hold mineral claims by digging shafts with
their own hands, but they were not able to
bore oil wells, for the most part.
In 1909, when the approaching shortage of
oil was realized, the government withdrew it's
oil lands from entry, and there was not pro-
vision for developing oil deposits on govern
ment lands until the passing of the leasing
bill in 1920. Now that these lands are to be
leased, the government must pass upon the
titles of all these small claimants Many of
them will - disposessed because they have
not done enough work to make good their
claims, but some of them have succeeded in
patenting their lands
The field has not been without its romance
of wealth For example, one man came there
as a poor driller and took UP lands. He mar
ried and raised a large family and took out
other oils lands in the names of his wife and
children. Unable to get capital to develop
these lands, he leased the right to do so to
others and so made a good deal of money.
He is said to have been jealous litigant
over his rights, and to have won the sympa-
thy of the court in many cases by, holding
man in the hand of sharks. Now his chill
around in airpldnes.
Another set of claims which are said to
have merit, derive from a pioneer who stop
ped at the Salt Greek field in the late seven
ties on his way back from the California gold
rush He was one of the earliest and moss
successful prospectors for oil. He persuad-
ed number of persons of all sorts to give
him certain power of attorney by which he
took out lands in their names. Although he
died poor man in 1907, it seems probable
that his heirs and assigns will profit richly
by his nose for oil' and his shrewdness.
