the penalty Of exile to Siberia without regret.
Frederick the Great paid an unintentional
compliment to the mentality Of Polish women
when In ao4fs11d4~ wumeu at
as Louis Van Norman observes, SIS it not the
inferior women who despises politics9'
Nine. Helena Piotrowska, who has studied
at both Columbia and Cornell Universities, and
has been for twelve years an authority on edu-
cation, gives the following as her family's per-
sonal experiences in Poland during the rebel
lions of 1881 and 1868.
s'The part which our women have played
in the pathetic attempts Of our country to
shake off foreign rule has been particularly
! heroic" she said. "After the defeat Of the
uprising of 1868, every woman in Poland
dressed in black. It was considered unpatrio-
tic to appear in any other color until authori-
ties determined to crush the national feeling,
issued an order to arrest any women seen in
black garments.
L cannot enumerate the number Of wo-
men who followed their husbands fathers, or
lovers into exile in Siberia. If unable to per-
form this act of devotion, the unmarried ones
remained single the remainder of their lives.
l, personally, had two great aunts who dedi-
Gated themselves to celibacy for this reason. "
The part which women will take in the
reconstruction of Poland will be an important
one. NJ Ramon Dmowski, president Of the Po-
lish National Committee at Paris, Polish diplo-
mat and statesman says Women are too va
luable to be excluded from a share in the 60
vernnent; the war has conclusively proved
this. Among the Poles there is no talk Of wo-
mems rights: We speak rather Of women $
duties Women indisputably, will be included
in Polish politics on the same terms as men, as
they are bound to be included in the politics
Of all other countries throughout the world. =
The brilliant modern women Of Polish
birth are familiar to the majority Of Americ-
ans. Beside Madame Paderewski, whose no.
BILE work Of rescuing the ruined girls Of her
army ridden country and restoring them and
their babies to health and Independence, is
we'll known. There are other ilustrious ex-
amples. Nine. Curie Skladowska, wife Of the
French scientist, with whom she was the CO.
!: discoverer Of Radium and who is the first Wo-
man professor IN France to teach in the cele-s
brated Sorbonne University, is now serving as
nurse on the battlefields. DR.. Mary Ia
krzewska is another famous physician in ac-
tive service 81 ss-ss 5.s sgsssa .

Tho princess Of Kunegunda was of Hun
garian birth, but she became so Polish in heart
and sentiment after her marriage to King Bo-
~leslawth the Second; that country was
in danger from Tartar invasion, she gave all
her immense dowery for it's defense.
Jadwiga, granddaughter of Kazimierz the
Great, who became queen at the age of thirteen,
gave up her lover when the time came for her
to wed, to become the Christian wife or Prince
Jagiello Of Lithuania, who, beside being pa
gan, was old, rough and illiterate, in order to
strengthen Poland by blood alliance with a
powerful neighboring kingdom. Not only did
this noble queen benefit Poland politically by
her sacrifice, but Lithuania spiritually as we'll,
for she was the means of converting the king
and the people to the Christian religion.
Jadwiga was apparently as wise as she
was beautiful and good, for her desire to edu-
cate her subjects was SO strong that she sold
her crown jewels to endow Cracow Academy.
The University which she thus supported, came
in time to be one of the foremost in the theolo-
gical discussions and is famous fort the astronom
ical and mathematical works Of Boychech,
the medical knowledge Of Matthew Of Mie-
chow, and the astronomy and economy OF the
immortal Copernicus The end of the fifteenth
century found Poland one Of the largest en-
pires on the continent and country with a
we'll developed and pronounced culture all it's
own.
It was due, however, to foreigner, Dom
browska, daughter of the King Of Bohemia
that Poland became one of the first nations to
embrace Christianity, for when she married
Mieszko of the first ruling house of Poland,
called Piast, in 965 A. D., she brought to her
new home the new faith, allying it with the
Latin element Of Western Europe. Russia,
which also became Christianized at the same
time, joined forces with the east and became
Byzantine.
During the siege Of Trembowla when Po-
land was stemming the tide Of the Turkish in
vasion which threatened all western civiliza-
tion, Chrzanowska, the spirited wife Of the
defender loaded cannon with her own hands
and swore to kill her husband, who was on the
verge Of defeat and surrender, if he did not
hold out until Sobiesh arrived. SIS

CORN FOLLOWS
HOGS IN Slide
DOWN The Line
Selling, However, Not Aggressive
and Decline in Prices is
Not Heavy.

Chicago, Sept. 10.-Fresh weak
ness developed in the corn market
today largely as a result of the
fact that hog prices had undergone
sharp new breaks. Bearish senti-
ment was emphasized, too. by rains
and moderate temperature. Sell
ing, however, was not aggressive.
Opening prices, which ranged from
lie decline to 12c advance. with
September at 1852 to 1924 and
December at 1881 to 1.2SA, were
followed by a decided setback.
On the decline. commission
houses turned to the buying side,
and brought about rally. Some
purchasers took the ground that
bearish conditions had been more
than discounted for the time being.
The close, however, was weak, q C
to &c net lower, with September
S159% to $3.50, and December SIPS
to $1.28A.
In provisions, rallies took place
later, but were not well maintained.
Oats were easier in sympthy with
corn. fter opening 1sc to &c off,
including December at 72Bc to
73c, the market rallied little and
then sagged again.
Provisions promptly reflected the
down turns in the value of hogs
and grain. Most of the trading was
in lard.
