Nation At War 8 and 8 are st has reports Babylonian coin Is he telling the Turns To Bible Demand For Scriptures In . United States Unparalled There's a boom in the Bible business -- quite convincing proot "that a_ nation at war Is seeking ---&olace In prayer. But the mégthers, wives and sweethearts of the men in the armed forces aren't the only buy- ers of the Bibles, says an author. ity on the distribution of the Testaments and Gospels. They're being sold to all classes of people, and sales this year, he sald, prob- ably would be 25 per cent. more than In 1941, Dr. Robert Taylor, executive ~~decretary of the Chicago Bible So- clety and representative of the American Bible Soclety, termed the condition "an amazing Bible revival," and sald that "America is discovering the Bible again, "It isn't Just a flareup caused by the war but fs the result of a real spiritual renaissance which has been coming on for some timq but has been quickened by the war." He sald that many of the large publishing firms were weeks bee hind in their orders and that the American Bible' Society, which nore ~ nally' distributes 10,000,000 . copies annually, is running several -days behind schedule. The tempo of orders, Dr, Taylor said, began to rise last spring and the increase "has constantly accels erated until it is hard to control." . As evidence of the upswing in business, he pointed to the distri bution of 1,600,000 Bibles in 12 cen- tral states last year as compared ~ tn-the 2,600,000 expected to be sent - out this year. ; : 3% Demand for tne -Seriptures for the armed forces, Dr. Taylor sald, "has been unparalleled." The American Bible Society has given away 800,000 Testaments through chaplains, and in addition it has sold 250,000 coples to churches to be given to the men In service, The soclety provides the service, men with molsture-proof Testa- ments botnd in the color of thelr uniforms, with the proper insignia. Dr. Taylor explained that Testa ments now carry supplements of psalms, hymns, that if no chaplain 1s présent, men of the ranks or officers may con. duct informal devotions, and prayers '80 | a wound POWERFUL PREACHMENT a "Loose talk" poster, by Charles Clement, drives home important message forcefully.

SCIENCE IS DOING COD LIVER OIL Fishernien have long recognized that cod liver oil sooths and heals wounds, frostbites and skin lesions, notes The New York Times. It was not until 1934, however, that cod liver oil began 'to be used extern- ally in modern medicine. In that year a German physician named Lohr published the results of his clinical experiments, In 1936 two Russian doctors reported that they had used a cod liver ofl olntment in 263 cases of various wounds and burns with dramatic recov- eries. Now comes Dr. R. H. Aldrich of the Harvard-Medical School with the results of an eight-year study of a 70 per cent cod liver oil ointment in treating wounds and burns. He finds cod liver oil, as dressing, safe and - as effective as the sulfa compounds. The experience of the British Air Force has shown that face burns present a, difficult problem. The skin of the 'face is extremely thin and contains more sweat glands and _ hair openings than other parts of the hody. Because of the nose and mouth, face wounds are liabe to become easily infected. Dr. Aldrich's results with cod liver oil were better than those obtain- - ed by scab-formers such as tannle _acid, which are uncomfortable and Ideal scaffolding for, provide an infection. How Can 1?

Llewellin, former minister of aircraft production, announced that Britain trebled her heavy bomber output in 1942, and "for every 100 tons of aircraft pro. duced in September we produced 110 tons in October. These fig- urés are good," he said in an ad- dress, "but they must go on gets ting better."

The Germans ara as clever at malring them as they were in World War I; innocent- looking helmets, pocket knives, fountain pens, left lying around (or perhaps a broom behind the door of an abandoned and 'very filthy hut), attached by thread or wire to hidden grenades.

Bells Kept Ready For War or Peace British Beliringers Ol Bear Ings and Clean Metal Work Bob is an old Youkshire bell- ringer. He lived for the science of campanology -- until the war came to silence the- belfry, I might say Bob has always wrung That is why he is sad now: He fears these idle years will cause the skill of the ringers to rust with their un- swinging bells. But I find the bellringers are keeping their hands in. I was told yesterday by a man who has been ringing over 60 years, and who talks of bellringing as though Wendell Willkie, number- "one civilian traveller in the United States, and Mrs, Willkie had their American Thanksgiving "on wheels" when returning to New York from Toronto on their special car with their host, R.

Furs Are Wanted For Seamen's Vests Not only hunters, but all classes of citizens, have an opportunity to help along an endeavor which is now getting under way in Can- ada, for the benefit of some of our most gallant fighting men, says the Windsor Star, An ap- peal has gone out for furs that can be made into vests for mem- bers of the merchant marine. This is a movement that has been under way in the United States for some time. Its adoption here is a- splendid idea. People are being urged to turn in their old fur garments, and hunters are asked to contribute the pelts of all animals they kill, There should be an immense stock of furs avail. able for this purpose, and there should be an instant response to the request that they be contri buted, Skin from flounders 1s being used in Holland for shoe leather and to repalr automobile tires, WORRY OVER COAL SUPPLIES IS ve UNNECESSARY Owing to 80 many people order: 'Ing all and sometimes more than ttiey need for the season, coal de- "liveries are hard: to make on schedule.

These ghostly re- hearsals at least emable them to. avoid losing that "feel" of a bell which is so important. No, by the by, are the bells rusting, My Dbellringer friend points out that the bearings are regularly oiled and the metal' work cleaned, The bells are ready for parachutists or peace--and in either event I do not suppose his hearers will be critical if he pulls a quick one badly. Have You Heard? The professor had been dining out, and, as most of the guests were ardent fishermen, he had had to listen all the evening to stories of the size of their catches, He was extremely shori-ygited, and as he was crossing a field on his way home he came across a scarecrow with ac widespread. Memories, of the "tall" stories he had 'heard that night floated back to him, and le halted in front of the scarecrow, "My dear sir," he exclaimed, "I simply /refuse to believe" you; there never was a .trout that length."

A member of a Ladies' Aid Society in a small town went to the bank to deposit, as she told the banker, "some aid money." Unfortunately the banker thought she said 'egg money," and replied: "remarkable, isn't it, how well the old hens are doing these days?" Then he couldn't understand why the woman gathered up her passbook and hurried from the bank! Little Boy: "Half a peck of potatoes with eyes, please." Grocer: "Why with eyes?" "Mother says they'll have to see us through the rest of the week." Witness: "I'm not guilty. My wife can prove a lullaby." Judge: "Alibi, you mean." Witness: "Begging your pardon, jt was a lullaby; at two o'clock on the morning in question I was walking the floor with the baby."

To Mass-Murder Half Polish Jews Only 40,000 Jews Now Re- main In Warsaw Ghette The Polish Government sald that Heinrich Himmler, Nazl Ges tapo chief, had ordered the ex termination of -one-halt of the Jewish population of Poland by the end of this year, and that 250,000 had' been killed through Septem- ber under that program, "According to information leak: fig from the German labor office only 40,000 Jews are to remaln in' the Warsaw Ghetto--only thor oughly skilled workers to bo em- ployed in the German- war indus- try," a government statement sald. The most convincing proof of the dwindling numbers in the Ghetto lies in the fact that for September, 1942, 130,000 ration cards were printed; for October, the number {issued was only 40, 000." The statement said that those marked for extermination at any time are "driven to a square where old people and cripples are segre- gated, shot." "The remainder," {t said, "are loaded Into freight cars, 150 to a car intended for 40. The floor on the car is sprinkled with a thick layer of lime or chlorine-sprinkled water. The doors of the cars are sealed. Sometimes the train starts immediately, Other times it walts on a slding for days. "The people are packed so tight. ly that those who dle of suftoca- tion remain in the crowd side by side with those stlll living. Half of the people arrive dead at the destination, Those surviving are sent to speclal camps. Once there they are mass-murdered."
