World History
' Stories that are History'
' Luther and Ignatius '
A dramatic interlude by HUGH Ross WILLIAMSON
' For who was I, a poor despised monk, at that time, too, looking more like a corpse than a man, that I should set myself against the Pope's authority ?
That monk was a German named
Martin Luther , whose name resounds through history as the founder of the Protestant faith. You will hear today something about his life, and how a Spaniard, Ignatius Loyola , resolved to defend the Church of Rome and strengthen it against his teaching.

2.30 Biology in the Service of Man © ' The Colours of Animals '
H. MUNRO Fox , F.R.S.
(From Midland)
Tigers are striped, leopards spotted ; their markings help to conceal them and this allows them to hunt better. Fallow deer are spotted, zebras striped ; they are thus better hidden from enemies. Many insects look very much like their surroundings in colour, pattern, and shape. The skunk wears a warning livery, and so do many insects which sting or have a nasty taste. On the other hand, there are insects that wear the warning livery yet have no nasty taste or sting ; they just mimic those that have. Rabbits, deer, and other animals have marks on them, and so are easily seen by their fellows. These are some of the odd ways of Nature that Munro Fox wi)l discuss in this talk.
