captive BALI on, you see the trails,
roads, meadows and pleasure parks.
fish farms in the exact proportions
that exist in the national reserves.
The number Of people who live in
them. cattle and sheep. 100000 Of
them in the pastures. the paper and
lumber industries carried on therein
are all set down on an accompanying
chart to be taken in at a glance. A
second model shows three aspects Of
the same place Of forest. In the cen-
tire is virgin forest. on one side the
same tract improperly logged; trees
cut high above the ground wasting
the stumps, slivered stumps that
ruined twenty feet Of the butt log.
young trees all smashed or broken
completely down by careless Telling,
brush left scattered around the invit-
ing fire. and all the other abuses of
commercial numbering. On the OPP
posite side the third section displays
the same tract properly logged: trees
cut of level with the ground. logs
neatly piled on sideways, brush
heaped up ready for burning for the
first rains. no smashed trees: a fruit
full object lesson that will have its
results in n more intelligent ballot
when forest legislation is again in
question.
OF equal interest is the display Of
the public health service with its real
istic models that show you and me and

and the manner in which We give and

housewife who waited upon her
typhoid husband and cooked between

own particular lesson; and charts
show how the seepage from q sewer
slid down a slanting stratum of water
bearing gravel and gave typhoid to a
whole community that used water
from a cased we'll nearly n quarter OF
a mile away. Then there are stuffed
rats which carry the fleas which carry
the germs that give you the bubonic
plague and Asiatic cholera; and while
you observe them with horror your
glance travels on 10 models Of rat
proof houses, docks, ships. mills. You
won't get the plague II Uncle Sam can
help it. and forever after you will help
him by casting your vote against the
rat. The mosquito must not be for
gotten. There are two of them large
as hens, the malarial and yellow fever,
equally repulsive. No one blames Col
Gorgas for exterminatng them upon
the Isthmus.

convey facts and figures and drive in
needed lessons with a force beyond
that of printed words. 4 dozen models
show the wreck and ruin of the IA

Of the world. India, China. Europe,

from the time II was swept off the face
