QUIT YANINIERING

Our country never was in more
prosperous condition than it is to-
day-on a better or more solid fin
ancial foundation, with glowing
prospects not only for next year but
for many years to come. There are,
naturally, individual and community
cases of disappointment-where bus
mess and wages and employment
are below the average-but such
cases in no way hamper the general
prosperity of the nation.
The people as a whole are better
off today than they ever were, and
are better off than the people of
any other nation in the world, more
labor-saving devices in the home,
more and better clothing, set bet
ter tables, have more opportunities
and more means of employ and en-
joy the play better than they ever
did
If the country were on the way to
the demnition bowows such con-
dition could not exist.
Let's quit yammering and yowling
about hard times-and about every
thing else-and turn our thoughts
toward the blessings that are giveI
us in such abundance, and if we
make the most Of our blessings we
will have provided ourselves with an
armor that cannot even be dented by
the professional calamity howler.
And we'll enjoy life the better

PREVENTIVE HOusECLEANNG

If the home has been regularly
and Systematically cared for, the
old-fashioned strenuous period of
upheaval which our mothers called
spring" or "fall' cleaning is no
longer necessary. Even in the
cleanest homes, however, the chan
ges of the season necessitate GER
tain changes in the details of
housework. and some rearrange-
ment of ones furnishings and stOr-
age places.
In going through ones home. the
object should be not only to make
everything spick and span for the
time being, but to make such chan
ges as will help it to remain so with
the least possible Gaily OF weekly
work Much of the dirt that gets
into the houses is blown or tracked
in. Remove dirt regularly from
window sills, porches, steps and
walk to keep it from being blown
into the house. Screens covered
with cheeseclOth will stop much
dust and SCOT at windows and
doors. Concrete walks will reduce
the amount Of dirt carried in on
shoes. Provide mats and scrapers
to help still further. A place just
inside the entrance where muddy
boots and coats may be left is a
great help.
Lessen the number of dust col
lecting places. Furnish waste bas-
kets, ash trays, and receptacles for
burnt matches in every room, and
above all, train the members of
your family to help by leaving
things where they belong and in
good condition. Take dirt and rub
bish away and dispose of it per-
manently when you have finished
cleaning any given part of the
house and make your motto "to
keep clean rather than clean up"

the smoke screen which convinces
us that there is still plenty of trou-
BILE ahead for the Old World.
Some of the diplomatic manipula-
ton is so intricate as to be decided
ly confusing to the layman. For
instance, the situation between
Poland and Lithuania, where there
is an occasional outbreak of gueril-
la warfare is one which is causing
the diplomats of Europe grave con-
Germ. The friction is over the city
of Wilma, now occupied by Poland
and claimed by Lithuania as a city
of Lithuanian culture and civiliza-
tion.
OF course with it's 100000 popu-
latiOn Lithuania alone cannot hope
to cope with Poland's sixty millions.
And that is where the complications
set in Lithuania now has an agree
ment with soviet Russia, and there
is some indication that Russia
would stand behind the country in
case of actual war. On the other
hand stands France, Poland's west
ern guardian, and behind her too,
Roumania which has an agreement
with the Polish government. In
case of trouble over Wilma there
might be Russia and Lithuania on
one side and Poland, France and
Roumania on the other. In case of
such a conflict, what would Ger
many do? She is none too friendly
to Poland and still expects to get
back the famous Polish corridor,
taken away from her by the Ver-
sailles treaty.
But this is not the only complica-
tion. There is another one which
affects the same nations. The Rus
SLAMS have never yet forgiven Rou-
mania for taking over the rich prov
ince of Bessarabia at a time when
Russia was PROSTATE and unable to
help herself. And the ROumanians
believe that the soviet republic is
only waiting for a favorable Oppor-
tunity to try to get Bessarabia back
again. Roumania is therefore as
anxious to get Poland's support as
Poland is to get that of the little
Latin nation.
AS a result Poland and Roumania
recently signed what is called a mil.
provides that either nation is to
rush to the assistance of the other
in case of an attack by an unfriend-
ly power. The agreement is Ol
course hedged in with a lot of rec
tape, but this is the gist of it, ac-
cOrding to European newspaper cor
respondents
|, Now the question an American
may we'll ask is: what is the use
of all these alliances and military
conventions, if the League of Ma.
tiOns is to settle quarrels peaceably
and abolish war in the future?
!. Roumania and Poland are members
of the league council. Why, there
fore. did their statesmen feel it nee
essary to sign this military conven-
ton!
The answer is Of course obvious
The statesmen of Europe have nc
confidence in the power of the
league to avoid trouble. They know
that in case of war the nations il
the league will line up against one
another as their national interests
dictate If we were in the league
we would be obligated to do the
same thing. But we are far away
viewing Europes quarrels and Sc
cret diplomacy as a neutral, grow
ing stronger and more prosperous
as a nation. And who will say thar
we ought not be thankful?

as to the efficiency of self-feeding

more thrifty than those in the
