Only tiny Poral still commands a normal food pply. Before the first of the next arvests can be reaped, five months jRnust elapse. In some countries, regaining food stocks will have been jfxhausted long before, when conditions of slow starvation which al- . fleady exist will become actual fam- Jphe. Moreover, in several European -pountries the harvest covers only a pew months consumption. ! The above map has been drawn to pring the threatened areas into relief. I^jb may be seen at a glance, the Brit- |teh Isles, Germany, Italy and the Balkans, although all on rations, are jgbt in danger. But the little, western ^democracies, always dependent on Ijverseas supplies and now cut off by phe blockade, are already on a semi- Jpftarvation basis. * Darkest, immediate spots in the icture are Belgium and Poland (the tter because of war devastation and itioning). Here, actual famine lready prevails. People are dying of hunger. But Spain, France, Holland, Norway and Finland ai not far behind. The above map wil now darken quickly from month t< month. The terrible food emergencj in Europe, so long forecast by foor experts, is now but a step away. Spain may be able to get some heli from the Argentine. In the case ol the other countries, however, their main hope seems to be the United States. Like the Argentine, the United States not only holds large surplus carryovers -of foodstuffs of which it would be glad to get rid. but each one of these starving countries holds in this country frozen dollar balances ample to pay for the food they need. Belgium, alone, has several hundred million dollars in assets here. It is then primarily a question whether it can be arranged to pass this food through the blockade if, at the European end, it car> be taken in control by a tight, neutral agerity which will supervise its distribution to non-belligerent, civilian populations only--and a guarantee that it will not fall into othei hands. - « Pet Dog Gets False Teeth Max Finkel, Chicago dental mechanic, adjusts the store teeth he •hade for his pet, Buster.

Aeroplane Disasters The recent tragic death of Representative William D. Byron of Maryland in an airplane crash near Atlanta, Georgia, on February 27th has brought demands for complete Congressional investigation of the causes of the recent wave of airline disasters. It is charged that the Executive Order of last May which deprived the Civil Aeronautics Authority of its status as an independent agency and placed it under the direction of the Department of Commerce, has so decreased the effectiveness of this body that it does not operate efficiently and that such inefficiency has contributed to the recent wave of airline tragedies. Senator McCarran, (Dem.), father of the Civil Aeronautics Order abolishing the agency's independent status, vehemently attacked the President's order which had transferred the Agency to the Department of Commerce and termed the recent airline disasters as legalized murder. He pointed out that for seventeen months prior to the time that President's order became effective, there had not been a life lost in commercial aviation and that since the Chief Executive transferred the Civil Aeronautics Authority to the Department of. Commerce, the result has been a series of airline disasters that have shocked the nation. It is hoped that the confusion which exists in the CAA under its new set-up will soon be ended and no better way of accomplishing this object could be found than restoring this body to its former independent status and allowing it to function in an efficient manner. * What Will Trouble In the Pacific Mean? Students of far eastern affairs in Washington believe that if trouble comes in the Pacific it will not catch the United States short of vital raw materials which come from that area. They believe the fleet can keep supply lines open. If Japan shoald prove able to close our access to rubber and tin a counter move by the United States could quickly close Japanese access to supplies in this country vital ; to them. Also manufactures in the j United States are getting set to make synthetic rubber and plastics to take I the place of natural rubber and tin. We have unlimited sources for the manufacture of cheap alcohol from waste forests and farm products, weeds, etc. A fine quality of synthetic rubber is far better than the natural product and can be produced in quantities as cheaply or cheaper than the natural rubber. Plastic containers that will serve all purposes that tincoated metal containers will have already been developed and await only mass production demands to be produced cheaper and more effectively than tin or glass containers. Business will of course be bound to feel some impact from the uncertainties of the situation in any event, put it stiH remains a hard fact that all industries which can manufacture anything con nected with national defense will be very busy for several years to come.

The Seven Wonders, Nearly everyone has heard of the seven wonders of the world, but probably few could name them and fewer could tell what became of them. Hiose interested in such things might clip this out for their scrap book. The seven wonders of the world were so named by Antipater, a writer of Palestine, about 100 B. C„ as follows: The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, destroyed in 484 B. C., more than 100 years before they were listed among the wonders. The Temple of Diana at Ephesus, bpmed in 262 A. D. . The Statue of Zeus at Olympus, destroyed in 406. The Colossus of Rhodes, sold for junk in 653. The Lighthouse ol^haroe at Alexandria, fell in an earthquake in 1376. The Mausoleum of Artemisia destroyed in 1402. The Pyramid of Cheops, the only one of the "seven wonders" still in existence. Such were the seven wonders of the ancient world. Many lists of modern wonders have been made, but a recent writer selects not the perishable works of man, but the discoveries and inventions which have revolutionized civilization. He names the radio, the telephone, the airplane, antiseptics, spectrum analysis, x-rays and radium. Whether his list is the best that might be made or not, the wonders, mentioned will survive as long as humanity exists.
