HUNGARY: HUMBLED AND
ISOLATED

Hungary, cut practically to half Its
former size by the Treaty of Versailles
and nOw diSassociated from Austria
and having no alliance with other
neighbOrs, is peopled by a race I'M
usual in many ways, according to the
following communication to the Ma
tional Geographic society by c. Town
Iey-Fullam:
Pastoral Hungary has features all
its own. 1t stretches across the vistas
of the Great Plain in the region of
the Hortobagy. There is the genu-
inc original Magyar, the Sentaur-Ma-
zeppa, who, like his sires of old, that
rushed Alexander on the plains of Sog-
diana, rides like a devil of the twi-
light; eats, drinks, sleeps on his small,
tireless charger, and chokes with pure
delight in lust of life and rush of
wind. The long white 'gatya'-no pen
itent sheet-the embroidered sleeve
/ less waistcoat, the plumed or be-rib-
bOned hat, the gorgeous mantle, the
| deep-bowled pipe, mark this tanned
Bacchanalian cavalier more surely
than does the anthropologist. He
cultivates no circus trick, but he and
his horses are Freemasons in one craft.
"There is nothing spectacular in this
mans work nor annals. His blood
| brother, the shepherd Of the night, sus-
tains himself on sheep cheese and milk
and in his lonely vigils could still do
service to astronomy. The Queens
land squatter has no such run as the
shepherd of the plain, whose vistas
are wide, illimitable and peaceful.
"What may be the psychological
keynote of a pastoral and peasant
people, shepherd kings, whose whole
corporate national life has been one
long test of endurance that in the end
has tired out Turk, Teuton, Slav, and
even Destiny herself? A musical
wine-loving, hospitable race; warm
generous and combative; proud anG
vain; lowered with the curse of Reu
ben, with a total incapacity to unite
on great issues and the power to fight
on any soil but his own.
Imagine this people, it's gods still

FOLLOWED EXAMPLE OF HOST
TactfuI Visitor Had No Desire to Be
"caIled," So He Duly "Sarsed"
His Coffee.

The oil magnate, Mike Murphy, who
passed away not long ago, was fortu-
nate in the fact that his sons inherited
their fathers consummate ability, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. One of them,
John, tells this story of a recent visit
to a certain section of the country,
where he was careful to do as the peo-
pie did, and to conform with social
usages as he found them.
At the table the venerable host
poured coffee into a saucer. But the
hosts son drank it from a cup. That
made the host angry. "Why don't you
sarse your coffee?" be beloved at the
son.
Its all right this way, father" an

HONDURAS: LAND OF
RIVERS AND BIG
DEBT

Honduras, least developed of the five
Latin American countries which are
now considering the formation of
UNITED States of Central America"
is a country of hills and valleys; of
rain and sunshine; of large and small
rivers.
A half dozen rivers may be crossed
in one day, and while they are usually
narrow and shallow, few hours rain
will turn them into roaring torrents,
absolutely impossible. A traveller may
be held up for many days by stream
that when he first crossed it was less
than three feet in depth.
Honduras is said to be the most
backward of all the Central American
republics, and she will remain so until
railroads cross the country and the
government becomes stable. Then
there will be great opportunities there
for many, and Americans and Ameri-
can capital will always be welcome.
The country is just a little larger
than the State of Pennsylvania, yet it
has population of only a little more
a
per capita debt of any country on the
face of the globe except New Zealand
at least it had before the present
European war upset all statistical con-
ditions. 1t owes 1920 per capita. Most
of this debt was created by loan-shark
methods, however, for Honduras would
agree to pay $40 to get one-or some
such ridiculous proportion.
The name of the country is said to
be derived from Spanish term mean
ing depth" the early explorers hav-
ing found difficulty in striking water
shallow enough for anchorage. They
were so delighted when they reached
the Nicaraguan shore nearby that they
called the headland "Cape Gracias a
Dios" (Cape Thanks to God), name
it still holds.
AS rule, the night will be spent in
a native house, sometimes little more
than a hut, built of mud, thatched or
| rooted with tiles. One is apparently
always welcome to the best the house
| affords; but a hammock as part of the
| travellers outfit is a necessity, for the
beds Of stretched bull-hide or canvas
are usually fully occupied, if not by
those at whose homes you are a guest,
then by other residents greatly to be
| feared.
Everybody sleeps in one room-men,
women, and children together. Your
hosts are curious, but politely so,
watching you undress and get into
your hammock, with a calm stare that
must not be considered impertinent,
| for white man is not an everyday
visitor. One learns seldom to undress
completely.

KIACHOW: THE FIUME
OF CHINA

Kiachow, China, was seized by Ger
many in 1897 and captured by the
Japanese when the latter entered the
World war in 1914 Its permanent
disposition has been the subject of
wide discussion, especially in the Uni
ted States because of our historic
friendship with both China and Ja-
pan. Now dispatches state that a
Japanese representative at the first
meeting of the League of Nations an
nOunced that his country is ready to
prepare for the transfer of this ter
ritOry back to China.
Following the murder of two Ger
man missionaries in 1897, Germany
employed her retaliatory seizure Of
Kiachow as a means of obtaining an
indemnity and a 99-year lease on
Tsingtau and the bay of Kiachow. She
gave the name of Kiachow to the en-
tire German concession, which is not
to be confused with the nearby city
of the same name. The concession in
cludes the German-built city of Using
tau, outlying towns, and the bay,
which has a narrow outlet into the yell
low sea on the west coast of the prov
ince of Shantung.
Tsingtau illustrates aptly Germany's
pre-war methods of getting a foreign

of world domination. The setting of
Gus in Chinese history for 1000 years,
and revealing traces of pre-Chinese
inhabitants. For Shantung was the
birthplace and teaching field both of
Confucius and Mencius. There also
the Boxer movement first was directed
against foreigners.
But the harbOr of Kiachow, appar-
emily, interested the Germans more
than history 1t is considered one of
the best along the Chinese coast, and
to have a stronger natural defense
than Port Arthur.
Back of the city rise hills as high
as 1000 feet and a range 600 feet
high dominates the harbor. This range
was utilized by the Germans for forts
where they mounted powerful Krupp
guns, commanding every point of land
and sea approach. When the Germans
completed their defenses Tsingtau was
considered one of the most strongly
fortified ports on the globe.
All this protection was not to be
afforded a fishing village and a none
too busy harbor. Natives were per-
suaded to move, and the lessons built
typical German city on the site of
! Tsingtau. They also renamed this
city, calling it Ching-tao, but the older
name clung to it.
Streets were laid out, and given
German names. German banks, Ger
man industries, including breweries
and German hotels were established
No other postoffice than the German
one was permitted to handle foreign
mail.
Germany not only obtained indemni-
ties and the 1913 square miles area
and bay described but mining and

MOROCCO: BANDITRY
THERE A PROFESSION

The United States has had diplomat
lc difficulties in recent years with the
people of northern Morocco where
Spanish armies have just scored their
greatest success in sustaining the col
Onial power of Spain in Africa. Some
insight into the kind of people with
whom the Spaniards have had to deal
is contained in the following commun-
icatiOn to the National Geographic So
ciety, concerning Raisuli, ''the Villa
of Morocco" whose raids caused polit-
ical crisis in Spain.
"He could not bear to hear a child
cry, while on several occasions l no.
ticed his care even to avoid allowing
the bees collected in his cup to drown u
is the surprising statement, not of a
friend but of the wealthy American
who was held for ransom by Raisuli
in 1904, until President Roosevelt sent
a fleet of warships and his famous
ultimatum, FPerdicaris alive or Raisuli
dead to Morocco.
''In many respects the man inter-
ested and attracted me in spite of all
my natural motives for dislike" con-
tinues the writer, Ion Perdicaris
''Raisuli was at once so gracious and
dignified, not to US only, but to his
own wild adherents, who evidently
idolized their chieftain, whose posi-
tion among them seemed that of the
head of a Highland clan in the olden
times.
He was quick to see the humorous
aspect of a situation, while his repair
tee was as immediate and to the point
as though he had been born in County
Galway itself. In fact l discovered
to my CONSERVATION that 1 was begin
ming to like the man in spite of my
natural resentment. l found myself
unconsciously accepting his contention
that he was not a mere brigand or cat
tle-lifter, but a patriot struggling to
rescue his Berber followers from the
tyranny of the corrupt shereefan off
cials. His charm of voice, the nat
ural poise and dignity of his manner
his self-cOntrOl under prOvocation, all
| betrayed a superior character.

between what they ought to have and
what they want. The result is OF
course sturdy, healthy youngsters. A
few American families are now fol-
lowing this system, but the most as
yet from necessity; others from indif-
ference allow the children to eat with
the family, where they usually have
what they cry for, for the sake of
peace at the sacrifice of manners, NOR
ais and physique.
The average housemother cannot
run two sets of meals and serve at
the same time the needs of the young
and the desires of the old.
One may restrict the diet of the
elders to conform to the food which
should be given the young for the
two meals of the day, having dinner
at noon, or let the little people have
supper by themselves earlier than the
evening dinner hour.
Children under five should never be
given food not suited to their age
and condition. The problem then is
to serve meals which will be suitable
for the whole family for breakfast
and luncheon, and neither unbalanced
nor inadequate for either child or
adult
In the feeding of children considera-
ton must be made in the difference be-
tween a child and an adult. In COM
parison of size the child is doing a
great deal more work than the adult,
but his natural appetite will take care
of the amount of food needed to build
the body and keep up energy. The
child's food, because he has to use
more, must be easily digested, more
wholesome and be better balanced, or
trouble will follow.
Children should have fats, such as
cream, butter and olive oil, all easily
digested. Plenty of fat, two ounces
OF butter to a pound of bread is con-
sidered a normal amount-a great fac
| tor in growth.
When the child refuses to eat stop
feeding or give liquid diet, and consult
physician.
The child, fortunately, who has not
been pampered, does not need a vari.
ETY. of food to stimulate the appetite
