mmmmv MGIBMGII(M in That Nation's Life Washington, D. C, Oct. 31, — While the United States is celebrat. ing Armistice Day on November 11, Poland will be observing its tenth birthday anniversary. It was on the original Armistice Day in 191§ that Poland, after having been divided for more than a century among Russia, Austria, and Germany, again became an independent nation. “In looking back on the past ten vears,” says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic Socjety, “Americans must feel considerable satisfaction in the part their coun. try has played in the life of this re- surrected nation. Most of the $70,- 000,000 loan that has put Poland on a firm financial footing came from the United States Intraduce American Methods *“American business methods have captured the imagination and ad- miration of the Poles, and scarcely a work on scientific management is published in America today that {s not transiated into Polish. Poland has industries that were begun be. fore the discovery of America, but some of them are being rejuvenated by American methods under the guldance of American engineers. “Oldest of Poland's industries to be affected by new methods are her salt mines which were adding to the savor of Central Luropean foods as early as the tenth century. The first iron forge began operations in 1333 and may be looked upon as the be- sinning of the iron founding industry which now contributes millions of dollars worth of values each year to Polish manufacture. An important lumber industry, based on timber lands covering 52,000 acres, was be- sun in the cighteenth century. A tree must be 20 years old before it is cut. The entire forest area of the country is more than 22,000,000 acres. *One of Poland's most interesting industries is a plant for building railway equipment that was started in Napoleonic times as a wagon factory. The textile industry keepa more than 3,000,000 spindles busy, and there are numerous factories for the manufacture of paper, chem- icals, and metal articles. “Only Germany, which is Poland’s nearest western neighbor, exports fore goods to the country than doews the United States. The latter fur- nishes approximately 16 per cent of all Polish imports. In size Poland, with 150,000 square miles, is sixth among European countries, being exceeded only by Russia, France, 8pain, Germany and Sweden. It has a population of approximately 30,. 000,000, a total exceeded only by Russia, Germany, France and Italy. “America’s tradition friendship for Poland dates from the time of the American Revolution when two young Poles, Kosciuzko and Pulaski, gave thelr services to General Washiagton and commanded Amer- ican troops.” READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS FOR BEST RESULTS BY ROBERT H. BAKER (Frofessor of Astronomy, University of Illinois) Urbana, 11I, Oct. 31. UP—A total | cclipse of the moon will occur No- vember 27 early in the morning, It will be visible from beginning to end everywhere in the United States. The moon will enter the earth's shadow at 2:24 a. m. eastern stand- ard time. Total eclipse begins at 3 and lasts until 4:29 o'clock, en the moon begins to emerge. At 5:39 a. m. the eclipse will be over. Central times are one hour earlier, mountain times two hours and Pacific times three hours. Although the moon will be en- tirely within the shadow for nearly an hour, it probably will not disap- pear from view. The reason is that considerable sunlight is refracted into the shadow through the ring of the earth’'s atmosphere around the base of the shadow. The moon at that time will be dim and notice: red like the setting sun. Usually dark eclises accompany stormy conditions all around = the shadow base. The brightest ones occur when no clouds are there to stop the light. Mixed conditions give a spotted ap- pearance to the eclipsed moon, ‘While a lunar eclipse does not much effect us on the earth, it would be a serious matter if we lived on the moon. Recent obser- vations of eclipses have shown that the temperature of the moon's sur- face drops from 170 degrees Fah- renheit immediately before the eclipse to 190 degrees below zero during the total phase. A drop of 360 degrees in an hour or two is a cold wave no one would care to observe at close quarters. Of course, no one lives on the moon, for it is airless and entirely barren. It is the absence of atmospheric | protection that permits the sudden change of temperature. During the | long lunar night the cold is even more inténse; a thermometer at the surface would register ot | higher than 250 degrees below zero. The earth’s conical shadow moon, then at the full phase, over- takes the shadow; but usually above or below and no eclipse results. Conditions are now most favorable for eclipses at the times of full moon near the mid- dle and end of the year. The number of lunar eclipses in a year varies from three to none at all. Some of them are only partial eclipses and not all are visible frem any point on the earth. Astrono- mers are able.to predict the times and circumstances of cclipses far in advance, HOLLFELDER CONFIDENT Democratic Candidate for Repre- sentative Predicts Protest Vote Against Republican Party. Frederick M. Hollfelder, democra- tic candidate for representative, opened his speaking campaign last night when he spoke at one of the | weekly conferences of party work- lers at headquarters, predicting a protest vote against the republican party and a democratic sweep of the country. Speaking as a. businessman, he assured his “!steners that he would not and could not afford to support any candidate who would work for a tariff reduction, and that he w: satisfied that Governor Smith woul. adhere to the promise he made while in this city that absolute pro- tection will be given industries, Three frogs sometimes borrow the insect-catching leaves of a southern specles of pitcher plant and use them to catch insects for thoir own purpose.
