Sponsors of the investigation declare that these polls are being used by the war intervention crowd as an instrument in attempting to create a trend of public thought, favorable to war intervention. They further charge that by them the war clique is seeking to convince the individual citizen that a majority of the people of the United States are in favor of war and that he is out of step with his fellow citizens if he opposes it, whereas in reality no such thing is true. A good example of what is being attempted is seen in a recent poll which is supposed to reflect public sentiment. The poll announcing the result of a recent sampling of public opinion, reported that on a certain war intervention step, a higher percentage of "better informed" citizens favored the proposal than did the "poorer informed" citizens. Upon reading the results of this poll John Q. Public would be presumed to say, "Well, Ij had better declare myself in favor of this proposal or my neighbors will classify me as being among 'poorer' informed people of this country." The general public doesn't realize the insidious means that are being used to try to get the citizens into a "war fever." Nearer and Nearer a The nation moved several steps closer to the brink of war when the House by vote of 266 to 120 passed a bill authorizing the President to seize and use as he might see fit, a hundred foreign merchant ships now in the United States harbors. Opponents of the measure declare that it is the final step into war. The bill now goes to the Senate and it is reported that Senator Tobey of New Hampshire will seek to have an "Anti-Convoy" provision inserted as an amendment to the bill. According to reports, the administration will have sufficient votes to defeat the Tobey proposal. Despite the desire of a grerft mass of citizens to stay out of war, we are being rushed head-long into it. President Roosevelt once remarked, "Convoys mean shooting and shooting means war." Apparently the Chief Executive has forgotten the words that he once uttered. Beating the War DruSu. Hie'crescendo of beating war drums reached a new high during the past week, when two members of the President's Cabinet and a White House Spokesman in the Senate virtually demanded that war be declared and our boys be thrown into the holocaust now raging across the sea. Well informed capital sources say that the President will soon declare ANOTHER EMERGENCY and that the "war boys" are peeved because the American people aren't responding to the efforts of the war mongers to innoculate the American public with the "war fever germ." On April 1, 1940, there were 62,- 958,703 persons living in the 140 metropolitan districts of the United States, according to final figures from the Sixteenth Decennial Census released this week by Acting Director Vexjgil D. Reed of the Bureau of Cen sus, Department of Commerce. Thus 47.8 per cent of the population of the United States lived in some metropolitan district. Those districts also contained 18,184,716 dwelling units, or 48.7 per cent of the Nation's total, ac cording to returns of the 1940 Hous ing Census taken concurrently with the population count. Of these dwelling units 850,731, or 4.7 per cent, were vacant and for sals or rent* as com pared with 5.0 per cent in the country aajiifrde.

Moths are the nation's greatest and most expensive insect offenders, a recent survey by an expert discloses. They knpw no season, so housewives must constantly be on guard against them. One preventive step, says this expert, is to keep furniture and clothes spotlessly clean. Frequent brushings and airings in the sun will do much to destroy the moths. Before storing your clothes should be cleaned. Then seal them in airtight bags or spray with a moth preventive. One excellent spray not only kills moths, carpet beetles and their larvae, but nbe methproots the fabric lor a year. " Y \ .
