quent and so are the frontiers of
language. All three are moro nearly
coterminous on the dividing line be-
tween Rumania and Czeehoslovakia
than is frequently the case.
The Rumanian finds his country
profited territorially by the peace
settlements, but he already realizes
that his troubles are multiplied.
Four nations bordered upon Rumania
before the war-Russia, AUSTRIA Hun
gary, Serbia, and Bulgaria. Ruma-
MIA now finds itself in direct contact
with six eighbors-Russia and Bull
garia, as of yore, along with Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Jugo-
Slavia. Therefore it may well be
that her settlement of the first
boundary difficulty with new neigh
Dor stands as an augury for Rumania.
RADICAL MAP
MORE LASTING
"A political boundary in Europe
is subject to sudden change and read
justment. The radical and lingual
borders are more nearly permanent;
which is why many schools now fol-
low either a regional or a radical
map of Europe in teaching the geo
graphy OF that continent. OF this
fact Rumania is a conspicuous exam
pie. Accounted a part of the Bal
kan a racial map shows her to be
among the Greco-Latins and she is
the eastern outpost of the Romance
language group. A soft, bastard
Latan' is famous characterization
OF her speech.
The long arm OF Rome stretched
to the land that now is Rumania
when Trajan overran Dacia and
planted colonies north of the DAN
ube and east of the Black Seal. But
the surprising fact is the severance
of the Roman racial strain and of
the Latin tongue nearly seventeen
centuries after the Romans withdrew
and other races completely surround
ed the Vlachs, which is Slavic for
Romans, and the historic name of
tho Rumanians.
tRadicaily(, the Rumanfans are
bounded by Ukranians Ruthenians,
Magyars, Southern Slavs, and Bull
garians. Within their confines are
islands of Germans and Magyars.

BIC PRICE FOR GRAPES

Sacramento, Cal.-Announcement

that the first carload of grapes ship

This is considered an exceptionally
satisfactory price. Earlier varities
of table grapes are now being shipped
and the major portion of the crop in
Sacramento and San Joaquin coun-
ties will begin moving during the
next month. Early grape prices in

that Rumania and Czechoslovakia

Diary more nearly parallel the po-
litical illumination.
But the imagination Immediately
leaps to a picture of Pittsburgh
lawyer and the ghost of Emperor
Trajan setting a precedent in friend
adjustment of boundary tangles. Or
to the conclusion that the legal prac-
tees of the sovereign State of Penn
sylvania and the heritage of Roman
law left In Rumania can dovetail
nicely when administered with COM
mon sense.
With this introduction a bulletin
from tho Washington D. c., head
