still fresh In our memory,
we reread with renewed interest the
old-time classic, 'Thaddeus Of War

The story takes place at that grim
era Of history when the little kingdom
Of Poland was attacked by Russia and
Austria, and having been defeated I'M
der the leadership Of Kosciusko was
forced to sign the ignominious treaty OF
partition that gave her territory to the
conquerors and wiped her name from
OF the roll Of free nations. From that
date until this Poland, as an indepen-
dent country, has not existed.
Jane Porter lived when the shadow
Of this cruel tragedy still darkened
the world, and she penned her ro-
nance Of ''Thaddeus" only nine years
after Kosciusko had been taken cap
tive and while he was the idol OF the
hour.
The noble house Of Sobieski was In

ruling monarch, Stanislaus. led not

He knew who he wanted though.
HE went to see Miss King Penguin
and he looked at her beautiful wings
and gazed upon her neck and admired
her plumage.

DRASTIC NATIONAL
ANTI-DRUG BILL LAW
McNary Offers Resolution in Sen
ate for President to Call World
Conference on Evil.

Washington, May 26. - President
Harding signed the Jones-Miller Anti
Narcotic bill, the passage of which was
vigorously supported by the news
papers.
Thus the most drastic measure ever
aimed at the Illicit drug traffic became
a faw.
The measure was signed in the ex-
ecutive office of the White House
with Senator Jones and Representa-
tive Miller, it's co-authors, present.
After attaching his signature, the
President shook hands heartily with
the two members who sponsored the
bill and were tireIess in obtaining its
passage.
The Federal Narcotic Control Board
created by the law will organize with
I'm few days. 1t is composed of Secre-
tary of State Hughes, Secretary OF
the Treasury Mellon and Secretary of
Commerce Hoover. They will have the
widest powers to regulate the manu-
facture and shipments of narcotics.
The law imposes 10 years imprison-
ment and $1,000 fine for illicit drug
dealing and provides for deportation
of alien offenders.
An international conference to adopt
q world code for suppression of the
Illicit drug traffic was proposed by
Senator McNary, Oregon, in joint
resolution.
During the investigation Of the sub
ject members of Congress became con-
vinced that most Of the offenses were
committed by aliens, and the Miller
Jones measure was the result.

Gently enacted legislation to prohobit

Serious Error In Workers. Act.

Serious Error In Workers Act.
Annapolis
Erroneous drafting of an amendment
to the Worhmen's Compensation act Of
Maryland during the last session Of
the Legislature will debar employees
making more than $4,000 year from
the acts provisions, according to an
opinion given by Alexander Armstrong,
Attorney-General.
Mr.. Armstrong made the ruling in
response to request for information
from the State Industrial Accident
Commission.
During the session the commission
proposed a number of changes in the
law. One of these, embodied in House
bill No. so, now Chapter 303 Of the
Acts Of 1922, had for it's sole purpose
the elimination of the $4,000 salary
limit. This was accomplished by
amending Section 63 of the act.
Later in the session House bill No.
$50, amending the same section for a
different purpose, was introduced. In
drafting this amendment, according to
Mr.. Armstrong; opinion, the old lam
guage of the section was followed, In
cluding the clause cor any employe
whose salary is in excess of $4,000 a
year." which barred those receiving
more than that amount.
After this bill was passed it was
signed by Governor Ritchie on the
same day as House Bill No. so. House
Bill No. $50 became Chapter 529 of the
acts of 1922.
Chapter 303, being an emergency
law, became effective Immediately aft
er it's signing on April 13.
Mr.. Armstrong found an almost
analogous case" in two measures re
lating to marriage licenses passed in
1886. The one first passed by the Leg
islature was an emergency law, and
the Court of Appeals held it to be in
effect until superseded by the second
measure, as the last expression of the
will of the General Assembly. Mr.
Armstrong accordingly ruled that com
pensation for employees receiving more
than $4,000 is legal between April IL
and June 1, when the second measure
becomes effective, but not after that
time.
The commission has had consider
able number of cases in which EN-
ployes were deemed fully entitled to
compensation, except for the restric
tive provision.

GERMANY TO YIELD
FINANCIAL CONTROL
Allied Reparation Demand for In
creased Taxation Is Also to
Be Met for Bankers Terms.

Berlin.-Chancellor Wirth agreed at
the cabinet meeting to accept the
Reparation Commissions demand for
Allied financial control of Germany
and for further increases in taxation.
This is bitter dose for the country
to swallow, but Herr Wirth h 'pes to
sweeten it with the hopedfor loan.
Thus the Chancellcrs two-day bat
tie with Finance Minister Hermes over
the latter's negotiate at aris is
apparently ended. This fact is due
to the mediation of Foreign Minister
Rathenau, who pointed our that dis
sension in the government \ the eve
of the reparation cri'i might well :
disastrous.
Herr Wirth's attitude now Is an
about face from his public utterances
in the 4,eichstag, who're he has called
external financial control Of Increased
taxation impossible. However, If such
control were sufficiently disguised from
the public-as committee of bankers
making loan, for example-it would
be acceptable to the Chancellor.
This means Germany is relying
upon a loan t. do everything in her
power to forestall an invasion Of the
Ruhr. In this connection the Cabf-
net sent a note to Gustav Bergman,
German representative on the Bank
ORG, CorImittee in Paris. as1 'ng a six
months delay in balancing the budget,
to give the treasury time to halt in.
flation.
An Interesting sidelight on the situa-
ton is the personal enmity between
the Chancellor and his Finance Minis
ter. Each has, according to the i,oliti-
cal wiseacres, sought to accomplish the
others downfall as result of the
Paris negotiations.
