A boy opens a book titled "Story of coal" and then the fllm proceeds to tell the story In an impressionistic way it shows how the earth was in a molten state millions and millions of years ago and how it then began to solidify causing buckling or the forming of mountains and valleys. Jungles of giant trees grew up. An animated diagram shows the work of the sun on growing things. Then we have lightning, rain and even a hurricane We see the decay that takes place in swampy land and the surf pounding against the shore. All of these are shown to have helped in forming peat beds and later coal. The way in which thick layers of matter were formed is clearly shown and under magnification a lump of coal shows the same layer construction. The pages of the book are turned and we read "Coal — where it is found." On another page we ?ee a map which indicates where coal is found in the United States The pages turn to consider "Coal mining." The story carries us down a shaft and operations within the mine are shown. After being carefully gone over and washed the coal is loaded on to freight cars ft 663 Beverages COFFEE. 15min 16-si-$24 1931 EBF 663 el-jh Guide As typical of the industry everywhere we see here the story of coffee grown in South America, including views of Colombia.
