Poland Established as
Nation to Reckon With
Taking Its Place in Spot
light of World Affairs.
Washington.—Poland’s strategic po
sition between Soviet Russia and mil
itant Germany brings this aggressive
European nation more and more into
the spotlight of world affairs.
“Twenty years ago the name of Po
land could not have been found on any
map of Europe,” says the National
Geographic society. “Today it is the
sixth largest nation in Europe, with a
steadily increasing population that will
soon reach 40,000,000.
“Once before Poland was a great
power. In the Sixteenth and Seven
teenth centuries Its territory extend
ed from a point within fifty miles of
Berlin to the meridian of the Sea of
Azov, and from the Khanate of Crimea
nearly to the Gulf of Finland. In
those days Warsaw, next to Paris, was
the most brilliant city in Europe.
Divided by Powers.
“Then came weak rulers and internal
dissension that paved the way for
Prussian, Russian, and Austrian ex
pansion. In the three disastrous parti
tions of 1772, 1793, and 1795 these pow
ers divided Poland between them, then
legalized the proceedings by the con
gress of Vienna in 1815.
“The state had ceased to exist but
the people never lost their fierce na
tionalism. After a century and a half
of oppression came the proud day in
November. 1918, when Marshal Pilsud
ski returned to Warsaw to be ac
claimed as chief of the new, Independ
ent Polish state. The treaty of Ver
sailles established the western bound
aries of the new nation, and after a
serious struggle with Russia, the east
ern border was s fixed by the Riga
treaty of 1921.
“Under Pilsudski’s leadership Poland
has developed rapidly despite tremen
dous handicaps. Long years of fight
ing had devastated the land. Russia,
Prussia, and Austria each left the
■ stamp of its domination, different sys
■ terns of government, education, and
law.
“The Versailles treaty left Poland
surrounded by nations jealous of land
> that had once been theirs. Today
i peaceful relations have been estab

Russia. It is significant that last year
these two nations, together with Great

U. S. Exposes Big Ring of Jewel Thieves
Most Extensive Racket Turned
Up in Recent Years.
New York. —The Department of
Justice is seeking to break up an or
ganization of jewel thieves, whose
operations were described by J. Ed
gar Hoover, chief of the division of
investigation, as the most extensive
racket “turned up” by his men in
recent years.
Rhea Whitley, chief of the New
York bureau, announced that the De
partment of Justice is Inquiring into
the $185,000 gem robbery at the Mi
ami (Fla.) Biltmore hotel, in which
Mrs. Margaret Hawkesworth Bell,
former dancer, was the principal
victim.
The ring of jewel thieves. Hoover
said, appeared to have operated all
along the eastern seaboard, with mem
bers of many prominent families
among their victims. The procedure
of the ring, according to fisst reports
to Washington officials, appeared to
have been to steal jewels, which were
later restored to the owners after
payments of substantial rewards.

ease, Mr. Houver charged that the
gems stolen from Mrs. Bell were re
covered in a lock box in Miami. The
earlier story that the jewels had been
placed in a police automobile by an
unknown person was branded a hoax
The key to the lock box, and direc
tions how to reach It, according to
Hoover, were supplied to the Miami
police by Noel Scaffa, New York pri
vate detective who has figured in the
recovery of the loot of other jewel
thefts.
Scaffa, against whom no charges of
wrongdoing were made, spent four
hours recently before the federal
grand Jury here, and his attorney.
Isidor Bregoff, commented that it was
strange that the private detective,
who frequently represents insurance
companies In their search for stolen
Jewels, “should have been called just
before the Miami trial.”
This referred to the trial of Nich
olas Montone, alias Nick Marlowe, and
Charles Cali, both of whom were said
by police to have confessed to the
robbery of Mrs. Bell and a friend,
Harry Content, after they had re
turned to their hotel from the race
track. A jury was chosen in this
case, and some testimony taken from
Mrs. Bell and Content.

The Four
By WALDO L. CLEMENT
e. McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
WNU Service.
TT WAS during our senior year that
* the rest of the class began to call
us “The Four.” Whether this name
was intended for good natured kidding
or otherwise I don’t know, but any
way It stuck.
We were together a great deal those
flying months; Tom and Laura, Anna
and L
Tom was broad shouldered and lean
of hip. His hair was the color of corn
silk and his eyes blue. The girl called
him “The Viking."
Laura was like him; big boned, red
haired and good natured.
Anne was different; she was slim
and dark haired and quiet.
I never went in for athletics like
Tom. A good book interested me
more; an hour in the IjJ), burning
holes In my shirt and concocting vil
lainous chemical smells suited me bet
ter. A thin body on long spindly legs
had something to do with it.
Tom and Laura were the life of any
gathering. The fact that they were
seniors didn’t bother them a bit. They
chased each other up and down stairs
In the most undignified manner and
hurled insults at each other with
friendly grins. They were good pals.
Anne and I laughed at their pranks but
couldn’t do these things ourselves; we
weren’t built that way.
Tom never took any liberties with
Anne. He never washed her face in
snow or called her a bow-legged bum
the way he did Laura. He never ap
peared at ease when alone with her.
They both acted funny that way.
Once I saw Tom kiss Laura when
they were dancing and the lights were |
low. She laughed and pushed him
away and five minutes later they were
quarreling animatedly about the cor
rect way to spell cantaloupe.
The inevitable happened, of course.
Those fool tongue-wagging sophs
started the story that they were en
gaged. It burned me up
Just before the holidays we had a
class sleigh ride; all the usual fixings
including four horses, jingling bells, i
fur robes and a long sleigh filled with
straw. We piled in helter skelter, and
somehow “The Four” were together as
usual. I built a cushion of straw for i
Anne’s back and she leaned her shoul
der against mine. It made me feel
that I was responsible for her protec
tion and comfort I came near propos
ing to her that night.
On the long ride over the snow
packed country roads we sung lively
college songs as we snuggled down
under the robes and thrilled at the
touch of soft hands in our own.
Coming home the moon was just
dropping over Sawyer’s hill when we
reached the long steep grade by the
mill pond. I remember we were sing
ing something about “Soft and Low,"
when a big black dog jumped over the
wall barking furiously. We felt a
sudden jerk that threw us backward
and the singing Mopped; then came
the thudding roll of hoofs and a biting
wind filled with clods of snow blew
over us.
Scrambling to our knees, we saw the
driver sawing furiously at the bits and
over the heads of the galloping horses
the deep valley flowing up to meet us.
The road was narrow and curved to
the right at the foot of the hill. It
seemed to end abruptly in the deep
woods. ,
The sleigh began to rock dangerous
ly and skid from side to side like the
lasb of a whip. Some of the girls
screamed and stood up preparing to
jump. I could feel Anne trembling as
she buried her face on my shoulder.
Then I heard Laura’s voice ring out
clear and confident. She staggered
across the bouncing sleigh and muster
ing all her superb strength hurled the
frightened girls flat, “Crawl to the
right side and hang on,” she cried.
“We’ll make it!”
It was a miraele that we did. The
sleigh tipped perilously as it rounded
the curve and it seemed an eternity be
fore we settled back and the flounder
ing horses gained the road to plunge
forward again. But Laura had gone
over the side. I saw her fall, clutch
ing at space, and forgot Anne. I for
got everything but Laura. Leaping
feet first and praying I wouldn’t strike
her, I followed.
A pine tree took care of me; a burly
pine that cracked two of my ribs and
knocked me unconscious with one
blow.
When 1 opened my eyes Laura was
bending over me. She was crying and
I knew she had just kissed me. Her
mouth was trembling. “Bob,” she
whispered hoarsely, then choked up
and began to cry again. My side was
aching but I put my arms around her
and kissed her. I kissed her many
times and thrilled at her heart beating
against mine. “I love you, Laura,” I
said holding her close. “I don’t care if
you and Tom are engaged, you’re
mine.”
’•Torn?" she eyed me queerly, “that
clumsy clown?” The old ready laugh
bubbled in her throat, then suddenly
serious she stepped back and shook'
her head. “But Anne?” her eyes were
probing Into mine. “I thought you—
that she —”
I was still attempting to describe
just how it was when we overrook the
rest of the crowd. They were paired
off, walking slowly, and the very last
ones were Tom and Anne. She had
her bead on his shoulder and was talk
ing and laughing softly. It surprised
me, knowing how quiet and reserved
she was. “The Four”—“One for all
and all for one"—and they hadn't even
missed us!
Need for Faith
in Trying Times
Permanency of Nation and
of Home Depends on
High Resolve.
This Is an era of curtailments, of
economies and limitations in finan
cial matters In the United States,
and such a state of affairs bears
direct results in the home and on
the family. It is a period which
should be met with firm purpose and
steady determination to wrest suc
cess from difficulties. Such thing®
have been done In former years.
They can be done today.
It Is interesting to note the high
place which faith holds. We have
beard much about the misery which
lack of confidence has brought to
the masses. We have been urged to
discard fears, and thereby restore
confidence. And the good old word
“faith” has come into its own. Those
who have not cherished faith and
who have discounted it, have over
looked the fact that faith does not
apply to religion solely, but to all
things In which reliance upon others
Is Involved. One of Its synonyms Is
confidence. Those who have an abid
ing faith and confidence in a Su
preme Power are those who can meet
emergencies without the depressing
elements which are so ready to
crowd around. They have a Founda
tion Rock on which to stand. Ths
waves may beat about them and
times be turbulent, but they are not
dismayed.
The stability of one’s country is
dependent upon the faith and confi
dence the individual citizens have
in it. Such faith and confidence is
| the rock of the nation. However much
of a ferment certain specific issues
cause, the belief that they are but
evanescent and that the high funda
mental principles of the country will
i not be shaken beyond its ability of
recovery must remain inviolable.
Sueh a belief and confidence is the
greatest reviving element. Such is
the faith that is ours behind and
, below the existing clamor about de
pression. Such Is the faith that be
comes knowledge of our country’s
ultimate power of readjustment and
future success without exhausting
delay.
In the home, faith is its founda
! tion also. The confidence of an abid
: Ing love which can surmount tran
sient disagreements and disturbances
is imperative. The home is wrecked
where faith Is lacking. It grows into
a stronghold of happiness when faith
is fostered, and confidence is invinci
ble.

Overcame Her Nervousness
“A few years ago,” writes Mrs.
Charles Sivil, of Hartshorne, Okla.,
“I was weak and run-down. It seemed
that nervousness was about to get
the best of me. My mother told me
about Cardui and that is what I de
cided to take. After I began taking
Cardui, my appetite was better. I
gained strength and was less ner
vous. By the time I had taken two
bottles, I felt fine.”
First, better appetite, and then
more strength and a feeling of well
being! Thousands of women testify
Cardui benefited them. If it does not
benefit YOU, consult a physician.
