The exhibits consist of remarkable repro- ductions, "more real than the original specimens," in a manner of speaking. These reproductions are the work of Leon L. Walters of the museum's tax- idermy staff, and are made in the mu- seum's laboratories by a special pro- cess invented and developed by him. They are more real in appearance than any preparation including the skin it- self would be, it is explained by Dr. Wil- fred Osgood, curator of zoology, be- cause the skins of this class of animals are not adaptable to ordinary methods of preservation for museum purposes. ia A RADIO FOR CHRIST ~ AvromaTtic ELEcTROLA WITH RCA 64 *1350 Here is a helpful Christmas hint.

Rawlings, state health director, in an interview this week. Yet the inadequate and antequated health laws of Illinois places the re- sponsibility for health protection in the 1623 townships in the hands of lay- men. These supervisors are handi- capped not only by lack of knowledge and training in public health but the law prevents them from taking any measures for prevention of epidemics. They can only act after the epidemic is in their midst. "The Department of Public Health assumes no blame for this unfortunate situation," Dr. Rawlings declared. "In four consecutive sessions of the legis- lature strenuous efforts have been made to get legislative action to give to these rural districts the same meas- ure of health protection that cities and villages enjoy. "The township was the correct unit for health administration perhaps in the olden days of the 'ox-team and cart' but it is entirely 'out-of-date' in this age of good roads and automo- biles, We use the county as the unit in appointing a trained expert to look after our schools, our legal business, our highways, our live stock, so why not have a law to make the county the unit in health protection. "We are facing, during the next four months, the most critical health season of the year. In order that supervisors and other health officers may more fully know their duties and the re- quirements of the state health depart- ment, each of the 2,717 health officers in Illinois is being sent this week a copy of a new 'Manual and Outline of Procedure for Health Officers for the Control of Communicable Diseases.' This indexed guide should increase greatly the efficiency of the service of the lay health officers." Prof. Theo. Koch Talks on His Summer Travels Prof. Theodore Koch, librarian at Lunt library, Northwestern university, supplying for a scheduled speaker un- able to appear, gave an account of his summer travels through Europe, under auspices of the North Shore Travel service, that delighted a large audience when he spoke Tuesday eve- ning, Dec. 4, at the Georgian. His talk was informal, but the speaker's keen wit and ready humor and the recital of his adventures, ex- periences and observations, colored it with a personality that gave it peculiar grace. After it was over, there was discussion of travel experiences by many in the audience who had spent recent months in travel abroad.
