HONEYMAKERS
A beehive is opened so that one can see how the inside is constructed. Microscopic enlargements show the bee in the various stages of development, namely, the egg, the larva, the pupa and the adult. Baby bees are seen emerging from their cells. The queen cell is larger than the others. There are several close-ups of bees, illustrating how they gather honey from the flowers and then return to the hive, depositing their booty in the cells of the hive. To expedite the work of these useful insects, men start the hives with wax molds and the bees go on according to the plan provided by the human masters. Honey is extracted with a centrifugal machine. The most dramatic event in the life of the bee is when the swarming occurs. At such times a man can pick them up by handfuls without being stung. An excellent source of education and entertainment.

BR'ER RABBIT AND HIS PALS
Here we have a condensed but comprehensive study of rodents. Among the common rodents are included rabbits, gophers, chipmunks, squirrels, prairie dogs, woodchucks, rats and mice. A rabbit's skull used as a model illustrates how the rodents gnaw. Several remarkable views are presented of rodents in their native haunts. A snowshoe rabbit has exceptionally large feet to enable it to run on top of the snow. Tree squirrels build nests, just like birds. A jumping mouse, or Jerboa, has legs like a small kangaroo. Rodents that live underground are great engineers as is shown by a diagram of a prairie dog's burrow 15 feet deep. One of the most interesting parts features a hibernating woodchuck. Dug from its underground retreat it continues to sleep despite vigorous shaking and proddings. But when the warmth of spring comes, Mr. Woodchuck soon comes back to life. An educational subject that is interesting as well as instructive.

TAME WILD LIFE OF THE YOSEMITE
Yosemite National Park is a refuge for wild life of many kinds. Knowing that they are safe from molestation, some of these animals and birds have become very tame. Several varieties of squirrels eat fearlessly from the hands of human visitors. A cute mule deer fawn is so fond of a nursing bottle full of milk that it leaps out of the hands of a girl who tries to hold it awa>' from the food. One of the most remarkable scenes is titled "Baby deer and dear babies." It shows two children, who have just learned to walk and are still wobbly on their legs, plying with some cunning little fawns. Another unusual sequence shows a herd of San Joaquin Valley Elk huddled together in a pond with only their backs and heads visible reminding one of a forest of antlers. Several species of young birds
