World History
Stories that are History
' Akbar, a Great Emperor of Irtdia '
A dramatic interlude by RHODA POWER
' To me hath God the Empire given, My strength and wisdom are of Heaven, Mercy and justice in me blend
And love of truth doth Allah send ...
—An Eastern Hymn
' The noblest quality of princes is the forgiveness of faults,
The test of government is how the ruler uses his leisure.—Sayings of Akbar
Akbar was a great Mohammedan Emperor ruling in India (1556-1605) when Queen Elizabeth was on the English throne. There are many stories about him, and all of them help us to know what he was like. Listeners will hear some of these stories today.

0 Animals that change Colour '
H. MUNRO Fox , F.R.S.
Many animals change colour as they grow older ; lion cubs are spotted and the chicks of birds that nest on the ground are speckled. This conceals them from their enemies.
Some animals change colour with the seasons; the fallow deer is spotted only in summer, while stoats and mountain hares turn white in winter. Frogs, minnows, and prawns quickly become light or dark according to the ground they are on, and flat-fishes change their pattern according to the ground. The octopus needs only a second to change colour. These are some of the things that Munro Fox will discuss in this last broadcast of the term.

in her own character sketches
Elspeth Douglas-Reid a Scots-woman, began writing sketches some years ago when she was teaching elocution and acting at the Conservatoire of Music in Johannesburg, South Africa. The first of her sketches that was staged appeared in the programme as being by an anonymous author ; she was afraid to put her name to it, believing that it was sure to be a failure. A dramatic critic came round afterwards to ask whom the sketch was by, and it was then that she.found courage enough to abandon her anonymity. The critic advised her to go on writing and that was the beginning of her present successful career as an author.
