seem TO hnve figured in the life Of

used to convey messages of various
sorts 10 those within sound Of their

Among the ancient Greeks those
who mnde the nightly rounds OF the
camps and garrisons used to ring n
bell NJ each sentinel box to make sure
that the soldier on duty within was
awake. They also put bells upon the
necks Of criminals TO warn all people

10 announce the hour OF the bath.
II n believed that bells we're first
used In churches about 400 years after
the birth OF Christ And by tho twelfth
century they we're IN common use In
churches all over Europe. Most OF

A food map Of Europe today shows
not u single country In which the fu.
ture does not hold threat OF serious
difficulties and only a small part which
Is not rapidly approaching the famine

have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies 10 meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even In the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated ON the farms, there Is famine
In the large centers OF population.
Belgium and northern France, as
