ing, it iS claimed that blood was
forbidden as a means of prevent
ing idolatrous, as well as barbar-
our practices. Many nations re-
garded blood as the food of the
demons such as the Zabi, the
Romans and the Hindus who used
to present it in vessels to their
deities. In prohibiting it's use and
consumption the Israelites were
prevented from falling prey to
such practices. In the days of
the Temple the blood was, as was
Biblically ordained, poured upon
the earth as water, both for the
above reason plus the fact that
an attempt was made to show
that God alone is the sole owner
and disposer of life, and since
blood was the mainstay of life,
humans had no access to it. It
is most interesting to note in
this respect that medical science
only discovered as late as 1923
AID. that blood is of such impor-
lance and vitality as the Bible
stated.
It is also noteworthy that the
animals who feed on blood are
more ferocious in character than
others who do not. Blood might
then affect the temperament of Che
person. It thus became illegal to
eat raw flesh cut from a live
animal. In this respect Byron
once wrote: "Men, by eating
what they wound raw, became lit
tie better than animals"
QUESTION: What the the
physical reasons for the prohibit
ton of eating blood?
ANSWER: It is claimed that
the Jews, by not eating blood,
preserved the health of the in
dividual as well as the commun-
ity. Blood is subject to speedy
putrefaction. Thus the flesh is
most welcome and lasts longer
when the blood is drained.

QUESTION: Why does the jew
;sh housewife soak and salt the
meat that she serves before cook
ing?
ANSWER: After the Jewish
housewife buys her meat from
the butcher, she washes it and
let's it soak for a half hour in
water, then she covers it with
salt for an hour then washes it
again. These operations are aim
ed at removing as much of the
blood as possible from the meat
before cooking it, since it is for
hidden to eat blood.
QUESTION:: Why is it forbid
den to drink blood or to eat any
food containing it?
ANSWER: The primary source
of this injunction is in the Bible
where the prohibition against eat
ing blood is mentioned in numer-
GUS sources, especially in the book
of Leviticus. The Bible itself
merely states the reason is the
fact that "the life of the flesh is
in the blood and I (Godl have
given it to you upon the altar to
make atonement for your souls"
Besides this fundamental reason,
numerous reasons are advanced
both by scientists as well as theo-
1ogians. These additional reasons
may be classified as moral and
scientific.
QUESTION: What are the
moral reasons given for the pro-
hibition of eating blood?
ANSWER: Generally speak

Perhaps some day she will be
glad to take aid from the people
she is currently abusing.
It was Ralph Waldo Emerson
who once remarked that the Eng
lishman himself is generally not
unpleasing, but that British
foreign policy has always favored
the wrong side. Emerson point
ed to the various countries of his
day in which the English had
been false and had knitted the
liberal side.
In general, one might say that
British foreign policy has been
always on the side of the en-
trenched. In China, the British
introduced opium smoking, lest
the people become alert and re-
form their conditions of life. In
Palestine, she has the same fear
that the Jews may do something

Jews with opium, so she must

A young Dutch woman who es-
capped Nazi detention camp dur
ing the war to study social work
in Switzerland has arrived in the
United States to continue her
studies on a scholarship granted
by the National Council of Jewish
Women.
She is Carla Polak, twenty
seven, who will specialize in child
welfare at the George Warren
Brown School Of Social Work at
Washington University in ST..
Louis. On completion of her train
ing, like seven previous National
Council welfare work scholarship
winners, Miss Polak will return to
her native country to assist in the
rehabilitation program of the
Jewish community.
When the Nazis entered Ant
werp in 1910, Miss POIak was a
volunteer social worker in the Ant
werp Y. M. G. A.. In 1912, to
evade mass deportation into Ger
many, she fled to unOccupied
France. She was intercepted by
prO-Nazi French police and sent
by cattle car a detention camp
at Riversaltes in the French Alps.
During three months at the
camp, Miss Polak volunteered her
services to the French and inter-
national welfare groups which
permitted her to work there.
Shortly after Hitler swept across
France, the underground spirited
her into Switzerland. Miss Polak
studied at the Geneva School of
Social Work until 1915 when she
returned to Antwerp. Here she
learned of the National Council
social work scholarship, for which
she applied and was accepted.
Eleven more European women
are scheduled to arrive in the
United States in the next two
months to begin scholarships in
social work, nutrition, medical re-
search and nursery school edu-
cation under the Council program
to meet the shortage of skilled
social workers in Europe.
The scholarship students will
come from France, Italy, Poland,
Czechoslovakia and Greece. They
will attend graduate schools of
Pennsylvania, Tulane, Washing
ton, Western Reserve, McGill and
Toronto universities.

some officer had ordered Capt.
Carson to cross field that was
filled with mines and to attack a
German fortification on heavily
defended ridge. He offered to go
himself but refused to take his men
because he said they would be wiped
out. He was court-martialed for
