Toilet helps are needed, too, not only for appearance but for, comfort. A bathtub with an abundance of run- ning water is an aid to comfort, beauty and -health.

"Its" population is exceeded only by Russia, Germany, Great Britain, France and Italy," the statement says, "Poland has a, population as large as Denmark, Holland,Belgium, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland combined." Warsaw's population is given as 941,- 001; Lodz, 451,000; Lemberg, 219,000; Cracow, 181,000; Posen, 169,000; Vilna, (estimated) 146,000.. The republic has now been divided into sixteen states . or administrative units, called voyvadships. The, City of Warsaw, however, as capital of tele re- public, is distinct from any voyvod- ship. After struggling with various bound- ary disputes on all sides, and emerg- ing victorious from a war with Russia, Poland established her frontiers and then turned her attention to internal affairs. The first: regular Polish, Parliament came Into being November 27, 1922, succeeding, the Constituent Assembly that had been organized as an emer- gency governing body early in 1919. During its life the assembly' enacted more than five hundred laws, inolul- .. ing a constitution providing for a house of 'representatives elected by universal equal suffrage, and a senate elected in the satue manner. Economy was another far-reaching measure instituted by the new repub- lic. During 1922 a reduction of 21,000 civilian employees was made in the. various departments, Military affairs also were "subjected to sweeping changes. • A standing army of 260,000, was reoonrmencled, with compulsory military aerates of two years for all males reaching the age of 21.'
