As Timely as Tfour Newspaper- 

 A New Kind of Atlas 



EACH day we read in our newspapers of 

 great, epoch-making events in various parts 

 of the world. Out of the chaos following the 

 war new nations are born — a distant bit of ter- 

 ritory like the Shantung Peninsula or Fiume 

 suddenly becomes the storm center of conflicting 

 claims that threaten a world crisis. Everywhere 

 a new order is being created. The map of the 

 world has been remade. Today we are living in 

 a NEW world — a new 

 world that you have 

 never seen ! 



Now a wonderful new 

 kind of Atlas is ready 

 for you — an Atlas that 

 is as timely as your 

 newspaper — an Atlas 

 that, like your news- 

 paper, keeps pace with 

 the world ! Fresh from 

 the press comes the 

 NEW WORLD Loose 

 Leaf ATLAS, a superb 

 new collection of maps 

 that is up-to-date now 

 and that can be kept 

 up-to-date in the future. 

 This is more than a new 

 Atlas — it is a new kind 

 of Atlas, for it has two 

 new features no other 

 Atlas possesses that en- 

 able it to be kept 

 abreast of current af- 

 fairs in every part of 

 the world. It is loose 

 leaf, and it is provided 

 with continuous Map 



Try This 

 Interesting Little Test 



As you read your newspaper 

 today, note the references to 

 places at home and abroad. 

 Then try to visualize those 

 places as they appear on the 

 map. Can you form a clear 

 idea of just where each place 

 is located? Can you name 

 the adjacent places? If the 

 place named is a city in the 

 United States, can you enu- 

 merate the States bordering: 

 on the State in which it is situ- 

 ated? Or if a foreign place 

 is mentioned, can you draw a 

 rough outline of the country ? 

 Try, for example, to sketch 

 the Shantung Peninsula, or 

 the Dalmatian Coast, which 

 has been brought into the 

 limelight through the con- 

 flicting claims upon it of 

 Italy and the Jugo-Slavs. 

 Could you make an outline 

 of Germany as defined by 

 the Peace Treaty, indicating 

 what territory has been lost 

 and how it has been disposed 

 of? Can you define the 

 boundaries of the new na- 

 tions of Kurope that have 

 been born since the war?
