Interlude
2.5 Stories from World History
' Great Discoveries'
Dramatic Interlude written by WRAY HUNT
Last week listeners were taken back to the Stone Age when men lived in caves and hunted and protected themselves against their enemies with weapons of flint. This afternoon the journey back will not be so distant-a mere 3,000 years instead of 12,000. Already man has found out how to melt and mould iron, and included in this broadcast will be a dramatic interlude showing life in a village of the Iron Age. Primitive though this life is, other inventions have made it much more comfortable than life in the Stone Age. The villagers know how to grow corn, for instance, how to keep cattle and sheep, to make pottery, and how to weave cloth.

' The Food Problem'
A. D. PEACOCK , D.Sc., F.R.S.E.
It's a very odd thing-As odd as can be —
That whatever Miss T. cats Turns into Miss T.
This extract from Walter de la Mare's ' Peacock Pie ' is as true as it is amusing. This afternoon listeners will hear what A. D. Peacock has to say about food in relation to living things. Hunger is an uncomfortable sensation-especially if one hasn't the means of satisfying it—and an important one biologically. Ultimately, a living being depends on plants for food. But plants live also. On what do they feed ? Questions like this will be answered by Mr. Peacock.
