Saturday, December 16, 1922. Governmental turmoil.

Gabriel Narutowicz, Poland's first President, was murdered after five days in office.  His assassin was modernist painter, Eligiusz Niewiadomski, which gives us a glimpse of just how weird the post World War One era really was.

Australian elections changed the mix of the parliament, but Prime Minister Billy Hughes retained his position.
