FIGURES. War, unfortunately, seems
to have become definite part of the
pattern of mans life:
During the past 3,4OO years, there
have been only 227 years of peace.
Yet, after each of 5000 wars, peace
making treaties were signed.
Since 500 B.C., 9O2 of all those wars
were major wars. And World War
was eight times bigger than the other
9Ol combined. Since 1918, IL wars have
been fought. Estimated cost: lives -
2,5OO,0OO: money - $4,000. 600, 900.

interesting war statistics:
When Napoleon tried the impossible,
too, it took only one factory worker
to keep a soldier in supplies. The Las:
World War required five workers for
each soldier. Now, every soldier needs

If we are to establish the

British Archbishop Hits
Nazi Treatment Of Jews
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 80. The Arch
bishop of Canterbury yesterday
urged the public to face the fact of
monstrous evil in Europe-"s such an
eruption of evil as the world has not
seen for centuries"
Speaking at Albert Hall before a
meeting called to protest against
Nazi treatment of Jews, the Arch
bishop, DR.. William Temple, declared
that what was happening on the
continent was so horrible that the
imagination refuses to picture it."
''The suffering of 1914-18 and of
much of the period between the two
wars led to hardening of hearts,"
he continued. THE drain on SYM
pathy began to be unbearable. We
are in danger of becoming morally
numb"
DR.. Temple declared there was
every reason to fear that large
proportion of Jews from 2 years
old and upward" being deported
from France were destined for "the
ghastly Ghetto in Eastern Galicia
Poland, where thousands Of Jews
already have perished."

FRESH VITAMIN BOOM

ASCSf1 BUM
An adequate supply OF vita
minis is as necessary to winning
the val as an adequate supply
of shells, mil. tary experts and
nutritionists agree. And Amer
leans are getting their vitamins
the preferred way - through
eating fresh fruits and vege-
tables - recent figures show.
With demand greatly stimulated
by government emphasis on the
nations need for vitamin-rlch
foods, growers n nine major
southern producing states have
boosted sales of fresh fruits and
vegetables through the COM
mission company 16 per cent in
a year, and other states show
increases of as much as 100 per
cent, according to Harvey Baum,
general manager of the A and P
l.1"oduce buying-affiliate, the
Atlantic commission company.
Close co = operation between
grower groups and distributors,
he added, is shortening the
path to the family dinner table

of the power was greater than
it would have been from the

because it was direct current
