COMING BACK AGAIN IN
 MIDDLE EUROPE

conscientious writers. Yet throughout the reports of all these touring chron- iclers, different as they may be in per sonality, there runs a note of incur able wretchedness-a tableau of chaos from which no order can ever come.
 This is a very natural result, for in Austria and Hungary and Germany one hears nothing from a certain class but the reiterated parrot-cry: "An impossible situation; it cannot last" Ones ears are assailed with com plaints about the unjust and crushing peace" and "the fools at Paris" and the absurdities of the new nations created. The transient, hearing such talk and seeing the misery everywhere apparent, cannot well help assimilat- ing some of the hOpelessness, but if his view had been longer he would be able to put such things in true per spective. He is too close to the pie ture; it must be viewed in the light of years and there progress is visible.
 Few Trains and Slow.
 When I first went into Vienna in the early spring of 1919 I rode in on freight train from Trieste. The train was carrying food and was guarded by American sailors. It was the only kind of train running from that direction. The only other train from any direction was a military train from Paris through Vienna to Warsaw three times a week, which was inaccessible to any but officials and persons willing to pay exorbitant bribes. Trains in every direction were practically non-existent. Railroad sta tions were deserted. The long, empty passenger platforms and untenanted waiting rooms seemed like remnants of a civilization which had passed.
 When train ran semi-OccasiOnally from Vienna to Budapest the time of transit was indefinite. The train movements accorded with the vagaries of the crew. Passengers simply took a chance. They trusted themselves to the train much as they would to life raft. hoping for the best but fear ing the worst.
 One train, I recall, which left Buda pest took four days to reach Vienna 130 miles distant. It stopped on the prairie, it halted at whistling posts,

ENUMERATED LITTLE BOBBY
He Meant We'll, but He Won't Go to the Movies With Mamma
 Again for a While.

Bobby, a four-year-old Columbus boy, is an observing youngster; alsos he is kind-hearted and willing to OblIge. characteristics that were brought out in a recent incident which was embarrassing to his mother. BObby'a mother is young and pretty, and to enhance her good looks has frequent recourse to a powderpuff. with the usual remark that she fears her face is shiny.
 One night this week Bobby sat with his mother in a movie. and directly in front of them sat a bald-headed man. His head was shiny. and this attracted BObby's attention.
 "Say, mother" he said excitedly, 'that mans head is awful shiny. isn't it?" His mothers look of distress evi- dently was interpreted by Bobby to mean sympathy for the man with shiny head, for he said, loud enough to bo heard for several rows of seats.

Il am now able to eat three square meals a day for the first time in two years" was the emphatic statement made recently by Joseph A. York. well-knOwn business man and highly respected citizen of Portland, Maine.
 '1 am now sixty-nine years of age, and in all my life 1 have never run across a medicine that I consider in a class with Tanlac 1 have just fD- ished my fourth bottle and this medi- cine has benefited me even beyond my greatest hopes. Besides gaining six teen pounds in weight, 1 have been built up and strengthened until feel all of twenty years younger.
 For the past two years I have been in a miserably rundown condition, and was compelled a short time ago to give up all idea of business as I was too weak to look after anything. was nervous, worn-Out, had no appe- tite, and suffered most all the time with indigestion. Some days I would eat scarcely anything; in fact I was afraid to eat because l knew I would suffer afterward. Sometimes I had such severe cramping pains after eat ing that I would almost die. My nerves were all unstrung and the least thing would worry me and I never could get a good nights sound sleep. In fact I just lost interest in every thing and was greatly discouraged over my condition.
 'The ordinary treatment failed to do me any good, and as had read so many statements from people know here in Portland who had been bene- fited by Tanlac, decided to give it a trial And now I know for myself what 1t will do, for I have simply taken a new lease on life. I am now able to look after my work as usual, and never felt better in my life. am able to eat three hearty meals a day and everything agrees with me per fectly. I eat anything I want and never feel touch of indigestion. never thought there was a medicine that could do me so much good, and I am only too glad to have the facts about my case given to the public"

Pershing Pleads With Veterans to
 Wage Fight on IIIiteracy.

Washington. = DenOuncing as a "crime, shame and a disgrace" condi- tions that permitted more than 30 per cent of the young men of draft age to be classified as illiterate, Gen. John J. Pershing, in a talk to the soldier pa tients at Walter Reed Army Hospital, Washington, made an appeal for such action as would impress upon cOmmun- ities the obligations the latter owed to the youth of the United States in edu- cation. His startling disclosures also constitute one of the strongest possi- ble arguments for compulsory educa- tiOn, at least up to a certain age, This appeal by Gen. Pershing, and the illit- eracy to which he called attention, it is pointed out, emphasizes the import ance of a federal department of edu- cation, one which would give moral and financial support to the states in their campaigns against ignorance.
 The Washington Post, in an editor ial discussing the report of the House Committee on Education, through Chairman Eess, recommending the pas sage of the Department of Education measure, drives home some of the facts with respect to illiteracy contained in the report. The editorial says in part:
 'It (the report) places the United States as ninth in rank among the civ ilized nations in the matter of educa- tion, which will come as a surprise to a majority of the people, who held the idea that this country was a leader in Iiteracy. It also quotes former Secre- tary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane to the effect that illiteracy alone IS re- sponsible for an economic loss of $S25,0O0,0oo a year in this country.
 "It is carefully explained that the pending bill does not attempt to set up standards or ito exercise any author ity over the conduct of the schools It seeks through government cO-Opera- tiOn and aid to encourage education throughout the country and leaves to the states all details with respect to courses of study, plans and methods. Nor does it appropriate any money, but fixes a limit of $100,O0OOOO a year which Congress may appropriate, or any part of it, and the states can only secure portions of an appropriation by complying with the provisions of the act after the method provided in the federal good roads act
 ''FOr years there has been an insist ent demand for the establishment of department of education in the govern ment, with a view to co-ordinating the federal agencies already existing for the furtherance of education and to ex- tend the scope of the work"

WHEN THE CENTURY BEGAN
Mode of Reckoning Is Simple, Ye. the Matter Is Frequently Subject
 of Dispute.

The Twentieth century began on the first day of January, 1901. In com mon usage the First century means the years A. D. 1 to 100; the Second century the years 101 to POO; and the Nineteenth century the years A. D. 1901 to 1900. The Fifth century be- fore Christ was 500 to 401 B. c. A century begins with the beginning of the first day in its first year, and does not end until the close of the last day in its hundredth year. The mode of reckoning is often confused with the common mode of stating the age of a person. A person born at the begin ming of the Christian era would be called one year old during his second year, that is during the course of the year two; he would be called two during the year three; and forty dur ing the year forty-one, etc.

Huge Problems of Reconstruction Yet to Be Solved, but
 Progress Is Made.
WOUNDS OF WAR ARE HEALING
To Casual Observers Distress May Seem lncurabIe, but Not So to One of Long Experience-Signs
 of Returning Order.

Vienna.-What is the position of Central Europe? Are conditions so appalling that there is no hope? Are the gloomy tales of dark despair poured increasingly into the eager ears of travellers, who have an only too human inclination to hear the worst, an accurate reflection of the present state and a dependable forecast of the future?
 These are questions which even the traveller must ask himself, and they must occur yet more pointedly to the mind of the public, confused as it can- not help being by the conflicting ac- counts of superficial and haphazard observers who have some special prej- udice to support, who are willing to sacrifice hOmely truth to the making of a smart phrase, or who may be sim ply too strongly influenced by first im- pressiOns without the background of extended experience necessary to give them their comparative value.
 Thousands in Want.
 First impressions are always vivid and they may also be accurate. In so far as nasty glimpses into the life of Central and Eastern Europe tell story of insufficient food and clothing, of lack of work, of the misery of homelessness and of the crudities ot inexperience and ignorant govern ments, no false ideas are created. There can be no doubt of the immense need of hundreds of thousands of people. hungry and cold through no fault of their own, willing to work if they have the chance, victims, in short, of the great cOnvulsiOn which tore Europe into discordant parts as spring bursts the smooth, solid ice of rivers into ragged, crunching cakes.
 Humanitarian considerations and the general good of the world demand that these people should be succOred. It is abhorrent to civilization that people in che part of the world should wal low in plenty at the same moment that those in another part starve. It Is dangerous to let a sore fester when it may be cured by prompt and intel ligent treatment. So the enlightened world, in spite of stupid and cynical criticism, will help these people and will aid with special willingness the children and youth in whom lies the possibility of higher purpose and nObler aims than have actuated their elders, who are still linked to the cankered past.
 But to the listening world there seems 10 come from these countries only an unvarying wall and it wishes 10 know if this is to be without change to the end of time. There is such a thing as becoming weary in well-do- ing.
