LIVING IN CAVES AGAIN

They used to say it took three
generations for a family to go from
shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves, that if
people got money they or their des-
cendants might lose it, so the third
generation often had to go back to
plan work again. Similarly there
has been a return to primitive life
in the warning countries of Europe,
due to war horrors.
William S. Knudsen. director of
the Office of Production Manage
ment, says that unless the infam-
GUS practice of bombing cities is
stopped, we shall have to go back
to living in holes of the ground.
Primitive man lived in caves, and
thereby secured some safety from
wild beasts. In England people
have to live in cellars to protect
from the wild beasts of
the air. Does man really make
progress?
