party which DR.. E. H. Lewinski-Cor-
win says was neither national nor
democratic and which M. Leroy-Beau-
lieu says was the most profoundly
conservative of all the parties.
When Paderewski came to America
to plead Poland's cause he carried
with him the prestige of the allies and
the Paris committee. He raised an
army of $4,000 Poles who fought in
France under General Halter.
What Poland Critics Say.
Now many students of the Polish
situation are saying that this army
represented, not Poland, but the
Observation-Disclosures faction and mil
itated directly against Pilsudski. The
critics say that while Pilsudski was
fighting for Poland the Paris commit
tee was pulling diplomatic wires to
get control of Poland-using Paderew-
ski and Dmowski to aid them in Po-
land. When Paderewski arrived in
Warsaw the news came out that the
Pilsudski government had been weak
ened by a coup d'etat. Critics ask why
the Paderewski regime sought to dis
credit the Pilsudski faction.
Pilsudski's friends say that the in
terest of the so-called Paris commit
tee in Poland goes beyond desire to
see Poland Independent. 1t wants to
see Poland linked to France as buff
fer state. The new Poland of their
making would not be democratic or
national, these critics assert.
England also is interested in the
success Of the noted pianist, they
point out. The fact that British
warship carried Paderwski to Danzig
is called significant
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-03-07

Most or his army was interned for re-
fusing to take the oath and he was
imprisoned and kept in prison until
the signing of the armistice.
Pilsudski's resignation from the
council of state caused that body to
be supplanted by regency council,
which was appointed by the Germans.
Germans Are Hated Foe.
When Pilsudski came out of Ger
man prison he entered Poland like a
plete military commander were given
him by the regency council on Novem-
Der II, and few days later he was
appointed absolute ruler.
Pilsudski is really a democrat who
leans towards moderate socialism. A
friend and idol of the vast population
of the Polish nation, he is, however,
a bitter enemy of the landowners and
aristocrats, because of his belief in
the necessity for fundamental re-
forms such as the land problem.
1t would seem that as far as inter-
nal affairs, the Polish question has
been solved by the leadership of Pill
sudski.
However, months before the allies
had recognized Roman DmOwski head
of the Polish national committee in
Paris, as the spokesman Of Poland. it
will be noticed that neither his name
nor that that of Ignace Dederewski
has been mentioned in any connection
SO far with the fighting of Poland for
AS matter of fact neither of
them had set foot in Poland for four
years.

SENATE PASSES
TAX BILL WITH
STORMY DEBATE
Vote is II to q With Three
Democrats Favoring Meas
ure.

INDIANAPOLIS, March THE In
diana senate passed the Mendenhall
tax reform bill last evening, after
longer and more tempestuous debate
than has marked any legislative pro-
ceeding in Indiana in the last five ses-
sions of the general assembly.
The vote was 81 to %. Three Dem
ocrats voted with the Republican
members to give the narrow margin
of one vote beyond the necessary con-
stitutional majority.
The bill now goes to the house for
concurrence or rejection.
The fact that the senate has restor-
ed in some form or other practically
all of the provisions Of the bill as was
originally introduced made it certain
last night that the house would not
concur in the amendments.
Friends of the new tax legislation
are hopeful, however, that in confer
ence between representatives of the
two branches, the points of disagree
ment can be adjusted and the bill
can be made into law with only a
few variations from its present form.
Increases Power of Board.
Briefly the bill marks a departure
from the present taxation system in
Indiana in the valuation standard that
1t defines, and in the increased powers
1t confers on the state board of tax
commissioners.
The house passed the bill with pro-
vision for so per cent cash valuation
but this was rejected as distinctly a
step backward, and one that would
involve the state in constantly receed-
ing taxable totals and corresponding
increases of all rates.
The tangible property section, with
provision for % per cent valuation,
was Objectionable to a majority of
house members and it was eliminated.
The senate amendment to Section
3, which was presented by Senator
Wolfson, of Indianapolis, provides for
the return of the intrinsic value of
tangible property, and 1.-The actual or
reasonable income-producing value of
Intangible property"
Senator McConaha. of Richmond,
soted against the bill.

II is with pride that we announce
TO the drug trade that the shortage
OF V1ck's VapoRub, which has lasted
since last October, is now overcome.
since January LIST, we have been run

half hours out of every twenty-four.
Last week We shipped the last of our
back orders, and retail druggists,
the Wore, are no longer requested to
order in small quantities only.
NOVEMBER DEAL RE-INsTATED
This deal, which we had expected to
put on last November and which has
to be postponed on account Of the
shortage Of VavoRub, is re-instated
for the month of March, This allows
discor1t Of 1919 on shipments from
1obbeIs' stock of quantities of from 1
to gross. $50 of this discount is al
loved by the jobber and so by us.
We advise the retail druggists to
place their orders Immediately, so that
the jobbers will be able to get prompt
shipments to them
THANKS OF THE PUBLIC DUE THE

The thanks of the American public
are certainly due the entire drug trade
retail, wholesale and manufacturing
for what they accomplished during
the recent influenza epidemic. The
war caused a shortage of physicians
nurses were almost impossible to OBJ
tain-the demand on the drug trade
was unexpected and overwhelming,
and to this demand they responded
nobly. Retail druggists kept open
day and night and slept where they
dropped behind the prescription coun-
ter Wholesale druggists called their
statesmen off the road to help fill orders

NEW YORK, March b.-What Of Po-
lands future? Her case is one Of the
many left in a chaotic state by the
war. After a century and half of
persecution is she to become free
and Independent nation? Or is that
freedom to be sacrificed that other
European countries may re-establish
balance of power?
The men who have been leading in
the recent moves in Poland may set
tie that question.
Poland's part in the war naturally
took the initial course of movement
to drive the Russians out of Poland.
General Pilsudski knew what Rus
STA was like, for he had been in
Russian prison for five years and had
had to escape, when threatened with
arrest second time, to Austria, there
to recruit and organize his army.
When the war was declared Pill
sudski came out of exile and leading
his army of Poles drove the Russians
out of Poland. He was riotously &C
claimed by the populace of the Polish
cities as he advanced back to Warsaw.
Rut then he turned on the Aust ianS
and Germans and demanded that they
establish Polish government. Their
answer was the formation of coun-
Gil Of state with Pilsudski as the mil
itary representative. When, however,
they asked the Polish army to swear
to them Pilsudski resigned.

A TREMENDOUS JOB TO INCREASE
OUR PRODUCTION

In this emergency we have tried to
do our part. We secured the country
for raw materials-our Traffic Man
ager spent his days riding freight cars
in-we shipped raw materials in car.
load lots by express and pleaded with
manufacturers to increase their deliv-
cries to us.
But it was slow process. Some of
our raw materials are produced only
in Japan-supplies in this country
were low and shipments required three
months to come from the Far East
Then we had to recruit and train skill
ed labor We brought our statesmen
into the factory and trained them as
foremen. We invented new machinery,
and managed to install it on Christ
mas Day, SO as not to interfere with
our daily production.
143 JARS OF VAPORUB EVERY
MINUTE DAY AND NIGHT
By January LIST we had everything
ready to put on our night shift, and
since then our laboratory has been
running day and night. To feed our
automatic machines, which drop out
one hundred and forty-three jars OF
VapoRub minute or one million and
eighty thousand weekly, has required
a force of 500 people. Our Cafe de-
partment, created for the benefit OF
these workers, served 1000 meals dur
ing the month of January alone.
10 MILLION JARS OF vAPoRUB
DISTRIBUTED SINCE OCTOBER
An idea of the work we have &C
complished this Fall may be given by
our production figures-13, 028,976 jars
OF VapoRub manufactured and distrib-
uted since last October-one jar for
every two families in the entire United
States
During the influenza epidemic, Vick's
VapoRub was used as an external ap-
plication in connection with the ply

Lighting the Movie Theater.

"When lighting problems are considered,
auditoriums of photoplay theaters present con-
dition differing somewhat from that presented
by the legitimate theater because sufficient light
must be furnished to permit the audience of the
photoplay theater to find its way about, yet the
distribution of this light must be such as not to
interfere with the picture on the screen. The
intensites in different parts of the theater may
be materially different since the surface most
vitality important is the screen. 1t is usually
quite practicable to raise the illumination in the
rear or at the entrance if the motion-picture
screen itself is properly submerged in darkness.
In this way person entering is not at first
subjected to SO low an intensity of illumination
as he is after passing down toward the front of
the theater. The minute or two which elapses
between the time of entering and the time of
reaching an area of low illumination gives the
eye certain amount of time in which to accus-
tom itself to the lower intensity.
A second requirement of this type of light
ing is that the greatest amount of illumination
should be thrown upon the horizontal plane.
that is, the seats and asles. 1t is considered
poor practice to throw any amount of light on
The side wallis because of the effect of reflection
toward the screen Moreover, such light serves
40 useful purpose. The third point to be con-
sidered is the elimination of sources of light
from the field of vision. In this category fall
such items as bracket lamps along the sidewalks
or lamps either side of the screen, if the units
are low enough to catch the eye. Such lamps
not only tend TO disturb the eye, out they also
produce depression of vision and cause a diver
sion which distracts attention from the picture
AS an example Of method by which such
lighting can be worked out is shown at Escana-
ba, Mich :. The lighting is effected solely by
means of artificial windows in the ceiling.
Above these windows are long boxes approxi-
mately Is inches in height. painted white inside
These boxes act as diffusers, throwing the light
through the windows into the auditorium. The
type Of glass used gives very good diffusion and
efficiency. The lamps are arranged on three
separate circuits, allowing for the use of full in
tensity. secondary intensity or low intensity
for photoplay work. The lamps on the circuit
which give the lowest intensity have been so
graded in size as to furnish very low value of
Illumination near the front of the theater and a
higher value of illumination near the rear This
type of lighting directs the greater percentage
OF light to the seats and aisles, where it is
ueeded."-The Electrical World

Pin Pointing or Photo-Mosalc

As young as the science of aerial photography
is it is not SO new as not to have acquired
fairly large vocabulary OF words and phrases
that are peculiar to it. A "pin-point" is all OBJ
ject on the ground such as building, railway
crossing or some other clearly defined land
mark. When this object is viewed from an air
craft many thousands of feet above, 1t is IN
truth only point, and it has been the custom
to term these objects when viewed under these
conditions "pin-points." Photographing pin
points is called 'pin-pointing." Catching. these
designated objects on Photographic plate is
not at all easy, but the skill required and the
fascination about the work almost sufficient
to class pln-pointng as sport Alrplanes
travel at tremendous speed and objects seem
fairly to fly by. When a camera is held in the
hand it can be leveled and fired" but more
often it is fastened to the bottom of the plane
with the lens pointing through an aperture that
as been cut in the fuseage. When the camera
is suspended in this way it is not quite as easy
TO sight it as when it is held in the hand.
AT the School of Aerial Photography located
at Langley Field, miniature airplane is sus
pended over small plaster relief map on the
rable. The strings that have been run from the
little planes to the map indicate very clearly to
the assembled students just what area on the
ground cameras in the planes will cover when
the planes are at different heights. AS the
camera when it is fastened in the plane points
directly down through the aperture made in
the bottom Of the fuselage, the tilt of the plane
IN any direction will cause the camera to take
an area on the ground very different from that
which would be included if the plane were flying
evel, so that it will be seen that it requires
skill and experence~to know the exact moment
yhen to make the exposure, as the wrolg area
IN the ground will be included if the plane is
living. banking, rising or doing something other
han flying level.
During battle the pin points that are sought
be photographed are the important strategic
POSITIONS held by the enemy and the vital things
pon which depends the success of his opera
ions, such as batteries bridges, supply depots
md the like. The aerial photographs made OF
hese things are speedily finished and handed to
The aerial bombers, who able from the pho
tographs to locate these works of the enemy

In the making of photographs at the proper
points and in sufficient number to cover large
area, certain pin-ponts are indicated so that
they may be used in guiding the pilot and pho
.ographer. The photographs that cover large
area when joined constitute a Photographic
mosaic. Obviously the individual photographs
in mosaic must be so taken that they will fit
together properly. and therefore it is necessary
or the photographer, when making the photo
graphs, to observe very strictly the control!
points" A control point is the name given a
"pin-point" that is used when making the pho
tographs necessary for mosaic or, in other
words, making an aerial survey of an area.

Germany Ready to Kick In.

1t takes perspicuity to see that the up
heaval that has been taking place within the
German government are but the preliminary
motions for reluctant acceptance of the peace
terms formulated by the allies and the signing of
the pact with numerous and loud protestations
that its conditions are much harsher than they
ought to be. In the vernacular of the street,
Germany is ready to kick ill.," and take what is
handed to it.
1t would be too great an about-face for the
cabinet that had denounced the peace treaty as
impossible" and had asserted they would never
sign, to come back meekly and write their auto
graphs at the bottom of the sheet. Someone
else had to be found to perform this thankless
task in way that would not altogether ALLEVIATE
the support of the people at home from the
government. What other way than to form
new cabinet and let the new crowd do it? This
method may not make the dose any more pal
atable, but it should ease its going down.
Germany has been beaten to finish, it must
have peace, it can not stand for military occu-
patton in preference to yielding its pride, down
deep perhaps in their inner consciousness the
German delegates may have salving thoughts
that the allies might properly had exacted still
