Europe's Jewish population has been reduced from 8,300,000 to 3,300,000 during the 10 years the Nazis have been in power, according tc a 300- page report issued by the Institute of Jpwish Affairs and presented at a meot- inR of the American Jewish Conference in New York last week. Among other facts the report attention to these: More th'an 8,000,000 Jews have been destroyed in the four-year period since the outbreak of war by planned starvation, forced labor, deportation, pogroms, and methodical murder.

Of 525,000 Jews living in Germany when Hitler came to power only some 5,000 still remain. About perished in the course of deportations; some 25,000 were killed or committed suicide in concentration camps; and there has boon a "natural" surplus of deaths over births amounting to 50,000.

Over a perior of years, loss of life and property traceable to this little stick wood dwarfs the ghastliest work ot the bombers. Fire prevention authorities stats that matches and smoking constitute together the Irrgest single fire cause. They have urged upon people the maxJm: "Matches have heads but no brains.

The Nation at war. Every home, every factory, and every farm, are part of the struggle. When fire strikes now it strikes with double deadl ness. In iis ashes lie a portion of the war effort, irretrievably lost. Of course, property swept by fire will ont day be restored.

But in the iiieantime the Nation is weakened the same as is a person wilha cut linger. The importanace oi caution with matches can be well stood when it is realized Ihil each year about 300,000,000,000 billion matches are consumed in the i States alone, or 850,000,000 daily.

This a i edifice, although a memory now stored in lavendar, had many stellar attractions such as Sam S.

Simbert and Nixon and Zimmerman's musical productions, Shakespearean plays, "Hamlet" for instance, light comedies, ''Little Boy Blue," "Flaming Hour" and others. Also there were many gracing Die "boards" among them, Henrietta Crosman, Eva Tanguay and George M. Cohan who played "Forty-live Minutes from Broadway."

Even in its decay, a of Council i lie's older generation will remember it as fine and noble--a to the past and criterion for Ihe Kicking the Boot. When the power of conflict rules universal' ly, IJKC at the present time, 11 exerts an influence which affects those constituents, comprising the emotional and rational forces of human lives. And all factors whether old or new--material or spiritual--are brought lo the and used to combat, the evil energy. Old sayings created centuries ago, can be, and are, revived today, to suit the moment that every battle and place creates. There is a "saw'' which may be applied, if only to ease a troubled i the while it is perused and digested.

And it will have served in a small capacity. Thus the adage: "Just kicking 'em around like old boots." It doesn't sound interesting-at first. But then this is war time, and many aged articles are- brought from dusty recesses and used. The largest portion of Italy lies between two seas, and is shaped like a boot. And at the toe war activities have centered for several days now.

A minor portion fell to the heel just ra cently. Now Uncle Sam's square-toed, and John Bull's dumpy ones, both of them enduring, are kicking at some creatures in the boot. And here is where this modern boot differs from the one of adage vintage. But the two gladiators have no intention of hurting the pedal extremities, if they can prevent it. The vermin that wormed their way into, and became strong within the toe, are to be exterminated and it looks at the present as if the boot will be tattered rather badly, before the vermin are banished.

Bui the owners don't care. They realize the method Uncle Sam and John B. ar weorking out, is the the right one. and after the combat is over, and the noxious Germans eradicated, the boot will still 'hold mending, and can be polished up until it is "good as new." DELILAH B. KEEPER.
