SEAâ€"LIONS, WALRUS ‘ GROUPS IN MUSEUM Thursday, Dec. 18, 1930 Natural Arrangement of Units in New Department; Interâ€" esting Exhibit With the completion of two large habitat groups of animals â€" one of northern seaâ€"lions, and one of walâ€" rus â€" Field Museum of Natural Hisâ€" tory recently opened to the pu'!sli_c. an important new exhibition hall in its department of :zoology. The groups are the largest zoological exâ€" hibits so far installed in the museum. The Hall of Marine Mammals, inâ€" augurated with these two groups, eventually will contain a series of thirteen groups of sea mammals, all mounted in scenic settings representâ€" ing their natural environment. Of the two recently opened, the walrus group is installed in a large dioramic case in which is reproduced a scene amid icy islands of the Arcâ€" tic Ocean. A representation of the midnight sun, accomplished by a speâ€" cially designed <lighting device, apâ€" pears against the background. Startlâ€" ingly realistic, due to the use of the most highly developed technique in museum art and lighting, it gives an impression of the far north as it might be seen by a person actually there. The specimens in this group, inâ€" cluding seven walruses of varied size, males, females and young, were obâ€" tained by the recent Throneâ€"Gravesâ€" Field Museum Arctic Expedition, fiâ€" nanced and personally . conducted aboard the schooner "Dorothy" by Bruce Thorne of Chicago, and George Coe Graves II of New York. In adâ€" dition to presenting the specimens, Messrs. Thorne and Graves made an additional contribution, in which Henry Graves Jr. of New York City also participated, of funds to defray the cost of preparing the group in the museum. The animals were mounted by Joâ€" nas Brother of Yonkers, N.Y., who were especially retained for this task. The background for the group is the work of Charles A. Corwin, staff artâ€" ist of the museum. According to Dr. Wilfred H. Osgood, curator of zoolâ€" ogy, the walrus is an extremely difâ€" ficult animal either to obtain or to prepare properly for exhibition, and the present group probably is supeâ€" rior to anything of its kind thus far accomplished. The second group, that of the northern seaâ€"lion or Steller‘s seaâ€"lion, is likewise equipped with an elaborâ€" ate ~setting, representing the wild rocky northern coast of the state of Washington. A rolling sea is seen breaking against the shore. _ Thirâ€" teen mounted seaâ€"lions, large and small, male and female, are seen lying on the rocks, one huge bull in a prominent position. State Police Ordered to Enforce Stop Signs Fatal automobile clashes at state highway intersections have led Chief Walter L. Moody of the state police to issue orders for rigid enforcement of the law requiring motorists to observe "Stop" signs. In reports of highway accidents, the predominating cause appears to be the lack of caution on the part of motorists entering or crossing arterial highways. )'â€"44 pea pto t asa t e t ce t o t t t o t e e i e e n n e e N e Ne N Ne Ne M Mss 1t 1e 1e s ho t ols t +5 u TAKE ONE HOME TONIGHT: Now *110 ONLY MOoTOR CAR ELECTRIC SERVICE 515 Laurel Avenue Complete with builtâ€"in dynamic speaker 109 THE PRESS . ib O less tubes A FLICK of the dial ' .
