MAP OF MAPS!
The Ordnance Survey has produced a map on a special kind of wateipioof paper. Torrents of rain may fall on it, and it will not cockle or buckle or become illegible. It may be immersed in the sea or any stream, and be no wetter for it than the back of a diving duck. To the walker or the bicyclist it -will be of double service. He may find'his way by it and then tuck it under his bat to protect the back of bis neck. For picnics in the normal summer it will serve either as a table-cloth or (better still) as a seat. In motor accidents, whatever else may be crushed under the wheels of the victorious carbarian, the map will take no harm; a little water from the burst radiator is all the first aid it will require.
