Perhups you have already heard of some of them, and lids is about the three newest books in the series now. “The Fireman” is an exciting tale of what happens when the fire alarm is given. There are pictures of the tirc-

men sliding down the long poles to the engines, and also of the long ladders which reach up to the roofs of Imuses. Many lives are saved by the gallant firemen. and all Hie younger members will enjoy rending this story..

“The Baker” tells the story behind the golden brown loaves of crusty bread which we eat each day. Because the

dough must beset and covered for some time before it rises, the linker must work at night. When the dough has risen it is shaped, and later baked. The pictures show you just how all this is done.

“The Kiigine Driver,” tells the whole story of a train journey—what happens to the engine before it is coupled to the carriages, and the work of the driver all the time the train is in motion. The pictures show the inside of the driver’s cab, and peeps into signal boxes and stations.
