ERMANY is thinking of reviving U the medieval "ghetto" systers under which Jews are allowed to live and carry on business only in pre- seribed districts.
In Germany, which containg only 300,000 of Europe's 10,000,000 Jews, unti-Semitism is more intensively organised than
than in any other Euro-
peap country.
The map shows how Jews are treated elsewhere in Eurape.
The ble concentrallons are in Czecho-Slovakia (350,000), Germany (300,000), Great Britain (333,000), Hungary (445,000), Poland (3,600,- 000), Rumania (900,000), and the U.S.S.R.
(2,750,000), Italy, centre so much recent agitation, has barely 77,000 Jews.

And the degree of oppression?
In Italy Jews who arrived in the country after January 1, 1910, are to leave within six months.
In Hungary laws were passed in Apell of this year limiting the num-' her of Jews to be employed in any
ne offre to 20 per cent.
In Poland anti-Jewish riots occur almost daily.
In Rumania they are still talking of decilizenising more than a quor ter of a million Jews.
But in all the white and Unted areas on the map the Jews have full civil rights.

Then he remembered some- thing else that he had driven ten miles less on each succeeḍ- ing day of his trip.
He was then able to figure hut how many miles he had done each day.
Can you do so too?
Next, George began to cal- culate how much he had spent. Entertaining had come to a lot. A quarter of the money he had allowed himself had gone on theatre tickets, a Afth on din- ners, a sixth on odd drinka for buyers, and a tenth on Ups and extras.
