NEW YORK, Nov 22.-The Commit
tee OF Fifty" headed by Dr.. Alexander
Lambert. 43 East 72nd sereet, New York
modelled on the Commtte Of Fifty
which 25 years ago declared alcohol a
poison. has undertaken a study Of the
effects Of nicotine on the human sys-
TEN.
After research and study extending
over period Of years, the old com
mittee decided by majority action. mat
alcohol was a poison. Based on their
findings, the campaign against liquor
was in large parts carried on.
The new Committee Of Fifty to
study the effects Of tobacco on the
human body, includes many members
Of the old committee.
Among its membership are Dr. Wal
ter B. Cannon Of Harvard; Prof. Henry
w. Farnum. OF Yale: Prof. Irving Fish
er. OF Yale Prof. F. w. Roman, OF SYRIA
cuse. the author OF the famous PAM
phlet, Nicotine Next" prepared for

the Y. NJ. C. A.; Austin B. Fletcher,
chairman Of the Tufts College board
OF trustees: DR.. Oscar H. Rogers, chief
physician for the New York Life In
surance Company; Dr.. Eugene Lyman
Fisk, director Of the Life Extension
Institute, and George Foster Peabody.
DR.. Lambert is chairman Of the exec
utive committee.
Meetings have been held at the Yale
Club here.
A constitution, bylaws and rules
have been adopted, and 1t is intended
20 make the membership worldwide.
The investigation which the com
nittee will make Is announced to be
exhaustive and impartial"
"The Committee OF Fifty on Tobacco
was formed 10 make a scientific study
Of the effects Of tobacco on the human
body" DR.. Alexander Lambert told me.
1T will take one or two years before
scientific experiments will be cOmplet-
ID from which we can draw any con-
illusions. The committee is not in any
way connected with any crusade against
sigarets or tobacco. It is intended to
form a purely scientific, unbiased opin-
on regarding the effects Of tobacco on
he human organism"
DR.. William Osler, Of oxford, who is
at present devoting himself to special
studies Of the heart, has Joined the
committee, and distinguished French
scientists are TO be brought In.
Notwithstanding the announcement
Of the purely scientific basis Of the eX-
periments. many Of the men on the
committee have expressed themselves
strongly against tobaccO-notably Dr..
Roman and Prof. Farnum who are
credited with calling the first organi-

Poles suspicion Of anything savorins
OF autocracy Is Shaping the constitu-
ton Of newborn Poland toward diff
fused governmental power.
The people become alarmed every
time q strong man" government Is ad-
vocated and their alarm is inevitably
reflected in the seym. the Polish par
lament. which is busy on the new
constitution.
For scores Of years the Poles have
been trampled and suppressed by the
autOcrats OF Germany, Austria ana
Russia; and therefore, to make doubly
sure there will be no more autocrats
they want no man or group clothed
with too much power.
This Is the outstanding point dis
closed by the speaker OF the seym,
Adalbert Trampcyznsh in an exclu-
siye interview outlining the kind OF a
government toward which Poland Is
striving.
Trampsyzinski Is a huge, bushy-
haired. slightly gray Posen lawyer.
who for years represented Poland in
the German reichstag His in the third
highest position in .he nation; only
Pilsudski and Paderewski outrank him ;
he is one OF the strong figures OF the
new Poland, with conservative leanings.
though officially a member OF no party
because Of his position.
"The constitution IS still in embryo" J."
he told me; most points are technlc-
ally unsettled; but II Is safe 10 say
from the trend OF debate and general
sentiment that
"The seym VIII be elected by the
people. Men and women Will have equal
votes at the polls and voting VIII be
on the proportionate system, secret and
direct, not compulsory.
There Will be nothing in the con-
stitutlon TO prevent the election OF a
woman president. All citizens will be
equal under the law and national mi
, nOrities will be protected.
we will probably have both a presi-
dem and prime mlnster-the president
elected Indirectly and the prime min
Isl and cabinet appointed by the
pres dent.
Authority will be carefully balanced
between the seym and the president.

experienced observers, with the best
instruments, to measure with a fair
degree of approximation parallaxes Of
only 1-20th of a second of arc. or l.

object must be at distance equal to
about 4.125,000 times the length af

This would show that the star was
about 3S0, 900 ,000. 900 miles away, which
is quite a small distance for a star,
the fact being that the vast majority
of the stars are apparently so remote
that their parallaxes drop far below
the range of measurement.
Atoms are far below the limit of
human vision, yet We are able to

There is an interesting method of

without knowing their parallax. This
method is applicable, however, only

How Is Distance of

How is the distance or a fixed star

diameter of the earth's orbit be taken
for the base? II so, cannot conceive
how any greater distance than about
twelve times this diameter can be

be about 2.2OO,000.00O miles, which
is 600,000.000 miles less than the dis
tance of the planet Neptune from the

The results, 1t is true, are only ap-

The stockholders of the Monarch
company, at their regular semi-annual
meeting Saturday night. voted to in
crease their capitalization from $780,

600 is to be issued as common stock.
The company also paid substantial

The new stock issue it not to be plac-
ed on the market. 1t will be taken up
by the present stockholders. The COM
pany is planning number of improve
ments, including probably the erection
Of additional buildings. The organiza
ton some months ago outgrew its pre-
sent quarters. The Monarch company
has found larger market for it's pro-
ducts than present equipment can sup
ply. Its thermojug is now as big a
seller as its large line of hog furniture
and so big has been the demand for all
its products that its statesmen have been
taken off the road to give the plant a
chance to catch up on orders. This con-
pany has proven a big thing for its
stockholders and its products are
known among practically all dealers in
the midwest. Big things are planned
for the coming year.
All Webster City is more than proud
of the record being made by the Mon
arch company and its high standing
among the manufacturing interests #
