Last week I think I mentioned the ladies on board my ship who had to reduce whether they wanted to or not. because they were seasick and unable to take much food of any kind. Of course, though. there were a lot
 of others who were too thin, who would have welcomed several addi- tional pounds. who also had to lie fit and eat oranges while the ship heay- ed. Being seasick. they say and say
 rightly, is good for people It often makes one throw off fermented. undi-
 gested food, it gives one a shaking

 the enforced rest, the fresh air, the salt water, are always splendid.
 The question of weight does to an enormous extent depend upon wha.
 and how much one eats In the case of the woman who is too fat. reducing is a matter of eating less Of every thing, or the same amount of foods which will not produce flesh So far the thing works out almost like q
 sum of arithmetic, for one cannot get fat on what one does not eat The fat woman must go on the theory that much of what she takes
 in goes into flesh. The thin woman
 can eat her head orr as she often expresses it, "and grow thin carrying
 it." because not much of what she
 eats goes to build her up- "Metabol- ism" Is one word doctors use when talking of the amount of food assimi- lated by the body. Ii isn't 90 much that counts. That's where the thin woman has the great problem It's always possible to eat less, It's not al- ways possible to eat more, without suffering from indigestion, pimples and other troubles But the way to grow fat or thin lies through diet. though other factors enter into the problem occasionally to complicate 1t

Buffalo. New York, Oct. Io.-The
fact that Poland has become at last a
united and Independent nation Will not
rob the United States of any consid
cradle percentage of the Polish-born
population, which has como to play
such an important part in its busi-
ness and Industrial life. Many POLISH
Americans are going back for visits
to their fatherland. often to seek for
friends or relatives, but very few OF
them are going to stay. They have be
come wholly and permanently Ameri-
can.
This is the opinion of prominent
citizen OF Polish birth here in Buffalo.
which contains perhaps a greater per-
centage of Poles among its people
than any other American city.
During the war 100000 Poles In tho
United States volunteered to fight for
their country,s liberty at 10 cents a
day. But when they obtained that lib
crty for Poland most of them returned
to the United States.

precision. When he realizes that the

but they live frugally. As n consc-
quencc. so per cent of them own their
own homes, and the bank deposits OF
the Buffalo Poles total about S35 ,ooo.-
900. This is surprising to many reo-
pic who know the Poles as better
spenders than savers.
These people have so long been dis
couragcd by conditions In Europe that
their ambition has been said by some
critics to be dormant. George Brandcs

tantes. playing with a dozen careers
in lifetime. and caring very little
whether success came with any OF

Even though that hardy perennial the railroad strike

focus their ambitions. They regard
this country as a land OF great op-
portunities. and most OF them settle
down to make money.
HOW COLONIES ARE FORMED
Like other immigrants. they gather
in colonies in the big cities. Chicago
has the largest colony, then Detroit.
and then Buffalo. a few Poles came
to these cities because work was Of
fered there. and for these nuclei the
colonies grew. Oppression at home had
trained them to cling to each other for
eagerly sought out neighborhoods
where tho beloved Polish tongue could
be heard.
They formed their communities
around the churches, and when the
churches became too crowded they
built new ones. At home. the church
was the center OF the community life.
and in this country they wished II to
be the same. So the value Of a piece
of property to a Pole is still measured
partly by its closencss TO the church
Of the neirhborhood.
a market is also demanded by the
Polish mother wherever she may be.

even more so than the French, IL is

mother makes her own bread and
noodles. And when she returns from

familiar ways all her life.
She does adopt tho American clothes
The gay national dress would be too
conspicuous. perhaps. But even II she
wished to wear it. the shops of the
district are full only Of the latest
style. SO for marketing costume, the
Polish woman contents herself with a
plain shirtwaist and skirt and
generally shawl.
Not all the Poles In Buffalo are Of
the working class. There arc many
wealthy families and successful bust
| ness and professional men.
THREE TYPES OF POLES
Tho different Polish types that in
this country blend withou, difficulty
as they gradually absorb American
characteristics are less adaptable in
Poland. That is one difficulty in tho
Polish situation now. There are three
types of Poles developed by the three
nations tina. have ruled the people
| for 100 years.
The German Pole has been educated
along practical lines in a desperate
/ attempt to make a substantial Ger
man citizen of him. Some 80 years ago.
| laws were made in Prussian Poland TO
| prohibit mothers teaching the Polish
language to their children. Poles could
not buy property nor build homes. a
| German who married a Polish woman
, was penaiized by not being allowed to
| buy land. since it was believed that
a Polish wife could quickly turn a
| German husband to her own way OF
thinking. These restrictions against
their liberty caused many German
I Poles TO move to this country.
Strongly as they resisted any change
\ in the national traits. the Poles were
nodded by the German rule. They are
today perhaps the most efficient people
/ of their race.
Poles in Austria had different ex-
perience. Tho government there gave
/ them greater personal liberty and the
right to vote. This group brings to the
melting pot In Poland knowledge OF
politics and government which the re-
public urgently needs.
Tho Russian Pole, the third typo, has
/ had the hardest lot of all. and Polish
feeling is still strong against Russia
as result. The national dress, Ian
guage, literature. were frowned upon
/ by tho Russian government. Many OF
the Russian Poles went into business
whore they were least bothered by the
government. Half OF tho products man
ufactured in Russia were made in
Russian Poland.
These 'hrce groups should he work
ing together. each bringing its special
knowledge to tho problems OF Poland.
Unfortunately, they are having trou-
bic in understanding one another. And
az one Pole exclaimed IF ever they
need cohesion. IT is now!"
The Pole in this country studies sf-
fairs in his home country, and likes
to so back for visit sometimes. But
