At the beginning of this picture are some interesting scenes showing how ice is used in various industries, including dairying, fishing, packing lettuce for shipment and the florist business. Then follows some illuminating material on scientific refrigeration in homes. A series of diagrams, accompanied by action showing refrigerators in use, bring out with surprising clearness the principles of refrigeration and insulation. Charts made by automatic recording devices show interesting comparisons between the temperature and humidity of a modern refrigerator as compared with a poor refrigerator and also with conditions in the outside air. The importance of proper insulation is illustrated. While essentially educational in character, this film is interesting enough to be classed as entertainment. It also contains some valuable information concerning economy and food preservation which every housewife and every student of science will want to know.

The human body is one of the most marvelous mechanisms in existence. This exceptional film shows graphically and clearly how our wonderful human machine functions. It starts with a microscopic study of the ameba, the simple form of life, consisting of a single cell which can breathe, move, eat and digest food. How cells similar to the ameba which make up the human body are kept alive by the oxygen and food brought to them in the blood stream, is clearly explained by means of diagrams and motion photographs. The structure of the human ear and the principle by which men hear are lucidly presented, also the formation of the eye and the method by which visual impressions are carried to the brain. This is one of the most interesting educational subjects that has been produced. Everyone should see it.
