VITAMINS AND WAR

Even physicians are hardly aware of ths revolution in nut rition which was brought abou
 by the last war and which is still in progress. Very little was known about vitamins in 1915. Indeed, the word had not even passed into medical vernacular
 Nevertheless. British experts were already beginning to think of vitamins in terms of deficiency diseases. whereas the German could see nothing in food bu' calories and were therefore Wor- rying about protiens, carbohy drats and fats. One outcome of the war was Professor Edward Mellanby's discovery that ricket $ the result of a lack of vitamir D. Another was the clarifcation of scurvy And so with other af flictions caused by lack of vita mins.
 The importance of all this va not lost on the world. Tn 1918 the Medical Research Council O Great Britain sent to Vi ma Q mission, headed by Dr. Harriet Chick, to study malnutrition She found not only scurvy and rickets rampant, but an aston ishing ignorance of vitamins am ong physicians. Even so eminent an authority as Professor von Pir quet stoutly claimed to the theo- ry that rickets was an infection disease Not only has Or at Bri. ain systematically continued the study of nutrition, but the Lea que of Nations has done import ant work in establishing mini mum diets-minimum both as to calOrieS and Vitamins. Out of the war came methods of preparing, preserving, storing and transport ing food-all with an eye to vita minS.
 What of the present war? There can be little doubt that the pioneer work of Mrs. Mellan- by, Chick and others will be con tinued. Already we have bread enriched with vitamins and min eral salt stripped from flour in the process of milling. There is every reason to believe that ev- cry advanced nation will hence forth make it it's business to spread the new knowledge among the needy and to bring the food itself to the table. What was once a purely scientific problem has become one of economics and Government policy.

Girls Riot AT State
Institution

A minor riot in Grand Mound
Training School for Girls, near
Chehalis was quelled tonight by
Washington state patrolmen and
deputy sheriffs from Thurston
County, the state patrol reported.
The trouble began after inmates
had learned that officers were en-
route to Grand Mound to take
Negro girl, former inmate of
Steilacoom Hospital, back to the
mental institution, the state pat
rol said.
Ten of the girls made a dash for
an empty room in the institution,
barricaded themselves in, and re-
fused to turn the Negro girl with
them over to the authorities.
Grand Mound officers called the
state patrol, who sent dozen Of
ficers to the school, They were
prepared to rout the girls out
with tear gas if necessary. Three
deputy sheriffs from Thurston
County also answered the call.

X. C.. Monarchs VS.
House of David

Although the Kansas City Mon
archs have won their share of pen
nants in the Negro American
league, the 1871 club is considered
the strongest ever assembled in
the history of the team. Newt Jo-
seph, player-manager, who does
his share of the catching with John
Dawson, says the following about
his team: They're the best bunch
of boys I've seen in several years"
The popular Negro ball club will
appear here against the House of
David in an exhibition game on
Tuesday, July 8 at Sick's Seattle
Stadium.
Manager Joseph's hurting staff
is composed of Booker T. McDan-
iels John Hill, Bob Dean, Ray
Thomas and Lefty Mitchell, and
they're all equally good pitchers.
McDaniels is a big highlander
who can fog the ball in there with
plenty of zip on it. Hill also relies
on a fast ball. Dean mixes a fast
one with plenty of curves. Thomas
has an assortment of pitches and
Mitchell is the southpaW on the
corps. He's one of those rare left
les who possess control, something
few lefthanders have.
In Crosley field recently, the
home park of the Cincinnati Reds,
the Monarchs tackled the Ethiopi-
an Clowns in a twin bill before
10000 fans. The two teams split
even. The Monarchs were so i'm
pressive that Warren Giles, gen.
eral-manager of the Reds request
ed the officials of the team to
bring them back to Cincinnati for
return engagement. Everywhere
the Monarchs play, they prove to
be popular, because they play the
game hard and clean, giving fans
some real entertainment.

Wash. Nut. Saw.
Pays $65O,OOO Int.

Seattle's Washington Mutual
Savings Bank, oldest and largest
savings institution in the Pacific
Northwest, credited the accounts
of its l0l, 900 savings depositors
on July 1 with $650.0o in interest
earned in the month period
closing June so, With this dis
tribution, total interest paid depos-
itors for the IL months since June
80, 1910, stands at 81, 295, 900. The
July 1 payment is the 103rd in an
unbroken series of regular semi
annual interest payments made
since the founding of the bank 81
years ago according to Raymond
r. Frazier, chairman of the board.
Washington Mutual assets, as the
second half of 1941 is entered, ag-
gregate $71,50O, 900 of which sum
over sc millions of dollars are held
by the savings accounts of its de-
positors. Savings in the mutual
savings banks of the nation, states
Frazier, continue to hold at high
level. There is evidence to support
the belief, he comments, that a
significant revival of interest in
thrift, on the part of depression
taught young people, is definitely
on the way.

 Last Times Tonight

 The steps were:
 l. Stanley Jackson, Salvation Army adjutant in charge of the Red Shield Reading Room, re- ported that a total Of $1,O0O worth of books is being made available for the room through the Carnegie Foundation. The books he said will be released through the city library, which is overcrowded and cannot accommodate the additional books. but will catalogue and class fly them.
 2. Miss Ann Coleman, city librar- ian, declared that by farming pslrt of the books out to the reading room, she will have sufficient shelf space but is in critical need of a work room, in which the new books may be classified. She suggested that possibly some of the room now used for firemen's quarters could be secured
 3. Fire Chief w. " Mulvihill pro- tested that the firemen need all the room available to them. He pointed out that some of their space is not usable now because the roof at the Fourth Street side of the build ing leaks badly.

 As an upshot, the library con- mittee of the council was instructed to start looking for more commod- ious library space.
