geology, physics, medicine and mathe-
matics
In the medical department is the
transparent man built by German
scientists, who gave 18 months to the
purpose. The figure is 6 feet tall, and
gives an even better idea of the inside
structure of the body than you could
obtain with an X-ray machine.
Public health exhibits prove the great
value which comes from money spent
to fight disease Charts and figures
show how greatly the death rate has
decreased in cities which have provided
good public health services.
In the chemistry department you may
see part of the process of turning raw
rubber into the finished product: the
separation of air into oxygen and other
gases, and the changing of coal-tar
into dyes of beautiful colors.
You, may also watch chemical re-
actions" which look like fireworks on a
small scale.
I enjoyed looking at the Geologic
Time Clock" 1t is meant to show the
changes which have taken place on
earth. 1t ticks of period which is
stated to be two billion years. Each
tick stands for millions of years, and,
as the ticking goes on, views of the
earth keep changing. This exhibit ap-
pears to be of great interest to visitors,
who cluster around it in large numbers.
In addition to the transparent man

The Old Gardener Says:

Ii is still possible to set out
dahlia tubers, but probably this
work has been completed. The
first of July, however, is not too
late for planting dahlias, which
mature rapidly. something to be
remembered by garden makers
who have Summer homes to
which they go after the close of
the public schools 1t often hap
pens that late planted dahlias
give better results than those
which are started early, but the
roots produced by them are not
so likely to Winter well. Late
planting is an excellent plan
when flowers in abundance are
sought, but early planting is bet
ter to give an increase in tubers.
Dahlias started from seeds are
not likely to produce tubers of
sufficient size to be carried
through the Winter unless the
planting is done early.

"He Didn't Ask For More,
So Vet Starved to Death

OMAHA, Neb.-"He didn't ask
for more!"
This was the excuse given by the
head of the county relief commit
tee, when Edward Fritsche, unem-
ployed Spanish-American War vet
eran, died Of starvation. Fritsche,
with 13-year-old daughter and a
sick wife, got $1.50 a week in gro
ceries every three weeks.
"He didn't ask for more!'
The Workers Unemployed Coun-
Gil took the story of Fritsche's
death to the thousands of unem-
ployed Omaha workers facing q
similar fate on the county starva-
ton ration. The county relief com
mittee became alarmed. A mass fu-
neral marched through Omaha s
streets, exposing the fact that men
and women were starving while the
county commissioners had sufficient
funds to pay all relief bills. The
county relief committee fastened to
clear itself of responsibility for
Fritsche's death. Mrs. Monsky,
head Of the committee, said:
"He didn't ask for more"
The Workers Unemployed Coun-
