SCIENCE "MAKES" LEMONS
When a bottle which had been sealed for two years was recently opened at Bristol Uni- versity Research Station it was known that the answer had been found to the shortage of oranges and lemons.
And these veientific citrons fruit juices contain very much more health-giving vitamin C than the natural fruits,
This was explained by Mr V. L. S. Charley, who is chiefly responsible for the new syrup.
"Doctors wrote and asked if we could
produce a natural Juice which could be bottled and giver as con- centration doses of vitamin C," said Mr Charley.
"Actually we were already think. ing along the same lines, and had bottled some juice two years ago and again 12 months later,

"We have just opened these hol-
ties.
"We found that by our process the Juice 12 months old contains 100 per cent, more vitamin C then fresht
oranges or lemons,
and that after two years the vitamin C content is moré Dan 50 per cent, the content of fresh citrous fruits.
"This juice has the added advan. tage of requiring little sugar.
"Besides being a valuable product for the preservation of health in wartime the juice is a most patatable drink.""

Miss Eileen Agnes MacDonald, who was with Mr Hemmerde, also ad- dressed the court.
"By the loss of her arm the whole world comes tumbling down for this girl," she said. "Every moment of her working life she must feel the terrible handicap.

Majority Of Americans Believe Naval And Air Aid Will Be Sent
A majority of the American people believe the chances that the U.S. eventually will send a naval and air force to Europe are 50-50 or better, the latest Fortune sur- vey of public opinion revealed.
About 60 per cent, of the American people hold this view the survey showell. Using the same sampling methods that enablel Fortune magazine to forecast the popular majorities of President. Roosevelt in 1936 and 1940, the magazine also found that:
Only about one-third of the people are in favour of sending any armed forces to Europe.
More than 60 per cent favour sending a half or more of our] arms to aid Britain.
Americans thoroughly believe that Hitler wants to dominate the U.S.
In its April issue, Fortune stated that the west-north-central, states,
are most opposed to war, with two thirds of their inhabitants opposing the use of ships and planes, and three-quarters against using an army.
