In Uncounted Millions.

Shades of the plaques Of ancient

Santa Fe province Of the Argentine
now has complete faith in the biblical
account of the Scourge of locusts, for
at times millions of these insects

come suddenly and without warming
in great clouds. and settle down on
the country. Then the ground resem-
bles great moving carpet Little
damage is done mt first, though the
Argentnians find it inConvenient to
have locusts throughout their houses,
but as the insects move through the
country. they dig small holes and lay
their eggs. Soon the larvae are
hatched, and at that time. before they
can ny. they are destructive. BY the
time they are ready to leave. every
living thing In their path is destroyed.
Eventually they fly away to parts un-
known, and the farmers have to start
their crops over again. Squads of To-
Gust destroyers. like flre-hghting units.
are maintained by the government to
combat the pest, and rsnchers are also
responsible for fighting them. Their
efforts are almost upavailing, how
ever. because of the myriads Of the

COMBINE ART WITH "MuvlEs,

Educational Purposes.

In order to attract the children OF

the museum management offers It's 1T.
tile visitors "s'ory hours" gallery
talks, music hours, classes In pure and
applied design and the educational
motion picture. Interest In visits to
the museum was first stimulated
through the medium Of an organized
bird club. Thousands of children
have also been brought TO the
museum during the last fonr years
by means of the annual vegetable and
flower shows in which the children
have participated,
"rhe Toledo museum was the first
to include motion pictures in It's edu-
1919, the necessary. equipment was
presented through the efforts of RI. Y.
Barnes, then assistant to the di-
rector" writes Eu,a Lee Anderson of
Toledo This proved not only fur
ther magnet to attract boys and girls
to the museum bat further means
of teaching art. During the first few
years films dealing with travel. crafts
and art were difficult To secure, yet by
dlligent search many fine things were
made available, including the life of
Pnlissy, the famous potter, and q
beautiful hand-colorcd film showing
the making of silk.
"The policy of tke museum is not
to nmuse by means of the film. hut
to educate the child along artistic
lines. using only such productions as
are OF distinctly cultural quality"
