UNUSUAL EXHIBIT COMING
TO OAKLAND OCTOBER IL
Biological Exhibit OF Exceptions
al Merit and Educational Value

Heralded as the greatest educational
exhibition of all time, the Mammoth
Marine Hippodrome will exhibit in
Oakland for one day only, Monday,
October 18th, on a special constructed
railroad car over 100 feet long, near
the Baltimore and Ohio station.
Colossus" a 68-ton sea monster,
over SIS feet long, is one of the feature
attractions. This monster of the deep
has created a furore throughout the
United States, Canada and England,
where he has been exhibited. The coun-
try's leading educators have pro-
elaine the exhibit of unsurpassed edu-
cational value and every student of
biology and natural history should at
tend the exhibit. Accompanying the
exhibit are numerous veterans of
many years experience in the whaling
industry, including Captain David j.
Barnett, who has spent the past so
years sailing the "seven SEAS" whose
lectures furnish one of the high
lights of the exhibit.
Another feature with the exhibit is
the worlds only lady flea trainer and
her troupe of performing f1eas, "The
London Flea Circus" Stunts that are
performed by these tiny insects are
really Notwithstanding footballs,
riding tiny bicycles, pushing little
carts, doing a fan dance and many
other outstanding feats.
"Serpentina," natures strangest
enigma, known the world over as the
living mermaid" has become mecca
of interest at the exhibit. Possessing
no vertebrae or backbone, or spinal
column, she is a puzzle for scientists
and dispair for doctors. Serpentina
is one of life's tragedies and it will be
up to the public to decide whether she
is fish or human being.
! From the time you enter the exhibi-
ton car until you leave you will be
thrilled, startled and amazed by the
many unbelievable sights on display
The display will remain here for one
day only and will be open to the pub
lie from noon until 10 p. m.

MEETING OF BUS DRIVERS
HERE CONSIDERED UNIQUE
Gathering To Promote Safety Of
Transported Children First Of
Its Kind In This Section
GROUP SHOWN IN PICTURE
Those

A unique meeting for this section
of the state was conducted September
for the first time when bus contrac-
tors and drivers from all over the
county attended a safety gathering,
the primary purpose of which was the
proper care of school children who are
transported.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of Walter R. Rudy, Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles, Balti-
more, and practically every contrac-
tor and bus driver attended.
Doll Derr and Paul ]. Lowry, of
the Safety department, Office of the
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, were
present and set out rules and regu-
lations advocated by their department
for the greatest possible safety and
comfort of pupils transported upon
public school buses. Figures OBJ
tanned from the office of the Board of
Education show that there are 70
different bus routes, and that total
of 2,289 elementary and high school
pupils were transported at the close
of school last year.
The establishment of the school
boy patrol system was advocated
whereby a responsible boy is selected
upon each bus to assist the driver in
carrying out the various rules Of
safety and comfort.
The boys selected to act as patrols
would be provided with regalla fur
nished by the Commissioners office.
This system is now being established
upon county school busses, according
to F. E. Rathbun, county superintend-
ent, and plans are being completed
for it's countrywide adoption as school
bus contractors and drivers conclude
it is advisable.
In the picture the two representa-
tives of the Safety department, Mr..
Derr and Mr.. Lowry, are second and
third respectively, in the back row
reading from left to right. Others
in the back row, from left to right,
are John L. Fitzwater, attendance
officer; Mrs. Daniel Hummel, east OF
Grantsville, only woman bus driver in
the county; Mrs. Caroline Wilson,
southern unit supervising teacher; B.
O. Aiken, Accident High principal;
FL. Getty, Grantsville high principal;
Miss Kate Bannatyne, northern unit
supervising teacher; and Mr.. Rath-
bun.

nosed them out. Both crews have
nearly the same men on the lineup.

two games. The first Is with Osakis
