 TENTH. BIRTHDAY
Alaica B,s Pl,yd Gnu Put
 il Int Nldoa's Life

Washington. D. C.. Oct. 31. - While the United States Is celebrat- ing Armistice Day on November II. Poland will be observing its tenth birthday anniversary. It was on the original Armistice Day in 1918 that Poland. after having been divided for more than a century among Russia. Austria. and Germany. again became an independent nation.
 ''In looking back on the past ten years." says a bulletin from the Washington. D. c. headquarters of the National Geographic Society. Americans must feel considerable satisfaction in the part their coun- try has played in the life of this re- surrected nation. Most of the $70,- 100000 loan that has put Poland on firm financial footing came from the United States.
 Intr,duce American Methods
 American business methods have captured the imagination and ad- miration of the Poles, and scarcely work on scientific management is published in America today that Is not translated into Polish. Poland has industries that were begun be- fore the discovery of America, but some of them are being rejuvenated by American methods under the guidance of American engineers.
 "Oldest of Poland's industries to be affected by new methods are her salt mines which were adding to the savor of Central European foods as early as the tenth century. The first iron forge began operations in 1883 and may be looked upon as the be- ginning of the iron founding industry which now contributes millions of dollars worth of values each year to Polish manufacture. An important lumber industry. based on timber lands covering 52,000 acres, was be- gun in the eighteenth century. A tree must be 90 years old before 1t is cut. The entire forest area of the country Is more than 22.000.00v acres.
 "One of Poland's most interesting industries is a plant for building
 
 railway equipment that was started in Napoleonic times as wagon factory. The textile industry keeps moro than 3.oo0.ooo spindles busy. and there are numerous factories for the manufacture of paper. chem icais, and metal articles.
 "Only Germany. which is Poland's nearest western neighbor. exports fore goods to the country than doe. tho United States. The latter fur nishes approximately IS per cent of all Polish imports. In size Poland. with l50.000 square miles. is sixth among European countries, being exceeded only by Russia. France, Spain. Germany and Sweden. It has a population of approximately 3o,- 100000. a total exceeded only by Russia, Germany, France and Italy.
 "America's tradition friendship for Poland dates from the time of the American Revolution when two young Poles. Kosciuzko and Pulaski. gave their services to General Washington and commanded Amer ican troops"

made its appearance locally, inspired by
the players who waste half an after
noon hunting for lost ones. It's called
the Scotch tee and consists simply of
pair Of wooden tees tied together
with about a foot and half of white
twine. In case one tee is broken a
substitute is simply slipped in the loop

the combination easy to see and saves
delay.
The first tourney OF the year OF the
Washington Dental Golf Association is
being played at Congressional this aft
ernoon, with some two score dentists
trying out the game after the Winter
layoff. A dinner tonight at the club
will follow the tourney. The Dental

at the clubs around Washington every
month.

Sylvester, who resigned March TO take
