H AVE you seen the world as it looks to-day? The old world no longer exists it has been completely made over-vast changes have taken place in every quarter of the globe. Today we are living in a NEW world! The greatest war in history has turned the whole world upside down. It has wiped out our former maps, it has altered the face of continents, changed the status of territories everywhere-it has upset the entire world situation. Important New Changes Besides the war, there have been other epoch-making forces at work revising the map of the world. Recent explorations, unprecedented expansion in commerce and industry, political upheavals-all have left their marks in every part of the globe. How much do you know of this New World you are living in? Probably you have seen fragmentary maps in newspapers and magazines showing some one portion of the map that has been affected, but have you ever had the whole new world of to-day laid before your eyes so that you get a clear, comprehensive conception of just what changes have taken place? Do you know what has been added to our geographical knowledge of the world. by the recent explorations of Stefansson, Stuck, and McMillan in the Arctic, of Smuts in Africa, of Roosevelt and Rondo in Brazil? Do you know how commerce has opened new routes of communication, built great new railroads in Alaska, Australia, Africa, Asia, South America? Do you know how many new industrial Throw Your Old Atlas Away! If your present atlas shows a world that no longer exists-it is worse than useless; it is full of misinformation-it tells you things that are not so. You might better have no atlas at all than one that misinforms you that will cause you to make wrong decisions-that will teach your children out-of-date geography. Do you realize just how far out-of-date an old atlas is? Does it show the new states of CzechoSlovakia, Jugo-Slavia-the new boundaries of France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Denmark, Poland, Italy? Does it show the disposition of Germany's former colonies in Africa, Asia, the Pacific? Does it show the new kingdom of Hejaz in Arabia, the new Empire of Mongolia in These are only a few of the great changes that You may have to discard your old atlas-but you need never discard another one. A new kind of Atlas -the NEW WORLD Loose-Leaf ATLAS is up-todate now and can be kept up to date in the future. cities have sprung up as a result of shipbuilding in the United States? Do you know where the new kingdom of Hejaz and the new empire of Mongolia are located? Do you know the new Europe that has come out of the war-with all the changes in boundaries, the new nations that have been born, the internationalized cities, the territories that are under plebiscites? Do you know how the Peace Treaties have affected Africa, Asia, the islands of the Pacific? Do you know what is included in the territory of over a million square miles which was taken from Germany and how it was disposed of by the Allies? Our New World Vision Unless you are familiar with the new world of to-day you are handicapped in understanding the great questions that confront us now and that will confront us in the future you are handicapped in understanding your newspaper-you are handicapped in carrying on a conversation with well-informed people-you are handicapped in discharging your responsibilities as a citizen. Never before has geography played such an important part in our lives-never before have our interests reached so far into every quarter of the globe. America is taking a leading part in the affairs of the world. Tremendous issues are before us which involve the destiny of our country and of mankind. Every American must be able to think clearly, not only about the great questions of to-day, but of the questions of the future which affect the peace of the whole world. Is Your Knowledge of the World How are you going to learn more about the world-what are you doing to help your children prepare for their part in world affairs? A home without an atlas is a home without an important fundamental of education-for an atlas will help you understand national and international affairs. Geography is no longer a cutand-dried study for school children-it is a live, vital, timely subject for everybody. Maps are news! The newspapers realize that. And, like newspapers, maps must be up-to-date to be of value. That is why an out-of-date atlas will not help you to understand the news of to-day. And every atlas begins to go out-of-date from the day it is published, for the world is never static-changes are constantly taking place everywhere. We have witnessed changes so vast that the whole world has been practically remade before our very eyes. We are living in a new world -a new world that you have never seen. And with these changes has come an atlas that can be kept up-to-date as soon and as often as new changes occur. Italy has a new strap A knowledge of geog- A Wonderful New Kind of Atlas If the world never changed no atlas would ever grow out of date. But with events moving as rapidly and as suddenly as they are, new atlases soon must become obsolete. Even the New World Atlas would be far behind the times if no provision was made for keeping it always up to date. That is why we made it LOOSE LEAF TO INSURE PERMANENCE The New World Loose Leaf Atlas represents a distinct advance in the science of atlas production. Never before has an atlas been made that could be kept up to date. Never before has the loose leaf principle been applied to an atlas. It is the only method by which atlases can be WORLD TO UNDERGO MANY Even now, after all the changes that have taken place in every part of the globe, an atlas cannot be kept up to date unless provision is made for future changes. Plebiscites are apt to wipe out many boundary lines. Self-determination may bring about drastic changes. Perhaps even an entire continent may be divorced from its present rule. Who can foretell all that will take place in the next year or so? MAP SERVICE FREE FOR For every change that is made, and for two years we will furnish these maps without charge. Twice yearly, as the publishers have made new maps to conform to new conditions, they will be sent to those who own the New World Loose Leaf Atlas.

With the return of our overseas men a matter of public concern is pressed upon my attention over and over again, and I write you because sure of your interest and courage and judgment in any question of public morals and because your sources of information are vastly wider than my own. I speak of the state of mind of of many these men toward military service, toward the uniform they make haste to put off, toward the very cause and country they have served. Their wrath seems to be caused not by needful discipline nor by needful privation and hardship. Rather it seems to result from a deep feeling that in numberless cases they have been made the victims of injustice. There is an uncanny, sullen unwillingness to talk about it, as though there lingers a certain fear of the pitiless machine that held and hurt them, and, with that, a grim determination to be free of it in the future. In place of a glad patriotism one finds rather the sentiment, "Never again!" Strangers from widely different lines of service meet. One asks: "How did they treat you over there?" The other, with a dagger look, flings back: "You were there. Why ask me?" I might give examples that go to prove that the grievance was, in large part, the selfishness and arrogance of officers. It is more to my purpose to inquire: Are there evidences of this discontent widespread among the men? I have been a believer in universal military training, but I query: Must officers' training camps become schools of arrogance and selfishness? Must the private soldier be subject, without redress, to injustices that will rankle in his spirit and dim his patriotism through life? If such were the alternatives, we might well pause, for that way lies Prussianism, and our American manhood will refuse to go far on that road. *** AGAINST DAYLIGHT SAVING The repeal of the so-called Daylight Saving Law is a popular measure throughout this portion of the country. I travel quite a little and do not even find a minority in favor of the law. Of course this is no more the whole country than New York and other industrial centers; but your inference of "Government by Minority" is open to serious question. To many of us the law appears to be absurd. It makes the clock a basis of time, adding to its normal functions of regis tering others that have for ages been regarded as pertaining to the planets. Why not let that vast majority who suffer by the repeal, if majority they be, move their working hours ahead or back, just as they choose, without upsetting the universe? If by the powerful influence that they could undoubtedly exert train schedules be changed to conform to their convenience, very well; the farmer and dairyman should not attempt to be dictatorial. That, it seems to me, would be commonsense daylight saving, and not the paternalistic kind. A vast part of the country does not want the law, and, while it undoubtedly benefits other sections, many of us regard the President, not Congress, as the sponsor of “Government by Minority" in this instance.
