I hope to visit it many more times before its closing date. I have read most of the printed literature about the Exposition, have viewed most of the pictures in books and other publications, and then I resolved to publish a — Condensation of all I read and saw. My book herewith contains: What you want to know ! Where you want to go ! And so and so ! Nothing has ever been produced in the world that has excelled or even equaled our great PPIE Ex- position, and there may never be held another expo- sition in this great country of ours. Or, if— There is ever another great exposition held, it will be held at a date so far in the future that we of today may not be able to participate in its enjovments. So! Let us be happy while we may; Let us visit the Exposition day by day; Let us store up the pleasures of its stay, And retain its sweet memories when it's away. I am going to help ! I am going to take my readers through the Expo- sition with me. [I] :drclaration We are going to pick out the Best Bits — all of the Exposition is good — but there are some Best Bits ! We are going to view, then we are going to pen and picture what we see, and then we are going to have a book that we can pick up and it will take us into the World of Pleasure, away from the wearing toil of the busy marts of men into the restful World of Peace. Then! We are going to wander about dear San Francisco, the pet of America, the abused darling of the great West, and the phoenix of this wonderful country; And there is much to see and to tell. And it will not be like anything ever beheld; For San Francisco is unlike any other city, no mat- ter where such other city is located. So, dear reader, join with me in the joyous mood that this book has been written, and let us forget there is such a thing in the world as trouble ; And bidding you all joy, I say, come along with me.

In a befitting manner; The colossal achievement of mankind, the build- ing of the Panama Canal, is the reason for: The Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The historical material facts are : President Taft signed the bill authorizing the Ex- position on February 15, 191 1. The Exposition site was selected in July,. 191 1. President Taft broke ground for the Exposition on October 14, 191 1. The first contract let for an exhibit palace was for the Palace of Machinery, on January 7, 19 13, and the building was completed March 10, 19 14. The Exposition opened on February 20, 19 15. The closing day, December 4, 19 15. Facts are interesting! Here are some more: The Exposition embraces 635 acres of ground. The ground is about two and one-half miles in length and it averages about one-half mile in width. The ground is bounded by the great San Francisco Bay, being on its southern shore, and the fortifications of Fort Mason on the east, and the famous Presidio on the west, and San Francisco on the south. Of the finances! You must think in millions ! The Exposition is a $50,000,000 Investment. The subscribers: Citizens of San Francisco, $7,500,000; City of San Francisco bonds, $5,000,000; State of California bonds, $5,000,000; Other States and Territories, $8,000,000; [3] DEDICATION Counties of California, $3,000,000; Invested in Concessions, $10,000,000; Foreign Governments, $5,000,000; Individual Exhibitors, $6,500,000. These are the material facts of the first finances. And since the opening! The army of employed: And this includes one or more commissioners and assistants; and the other army that includes from the lowest to the highest. The estimated total of the army of employed is : About 10,000 men and women! Think of the vast amount of money this great army puts into circulation ! And then think : Of the vast amount of money the great army of visitors puts into circulation ! And then think: Of the joy to all ! [4] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^P^^^^^^-^^J^,^,^^^ INVOCATION Prayer ! How sweet the power of prayer! How beautiful the faith of the sincere! Prayers given at the Opening of the Exposition were from the eloquent lips of three noted clergymen. These clergymen were : Archbishop E. J. Hanna, of the Catholic Diocese; Bishop W. F. Nichols, of the Episcopal Diocese; Rabbi Martin A. Meyer, of San Francisco. The prayer of Bishop Nichols was as follows: "The Blessings of God Almighty, the God of the Ages, the God of the Oceans, the God of the Con- tinents, the God of the Genius of Man, and the God of every Exposition of human achievement and prog- ress — the Blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, be upon you and remain with you always. Amen!" The prayer of Bishop Hanna was as follows : "O God of our Fathers, in Whose power are the destinies of men, in Whose hands are the ends of the world, look down with loving-kindness on Thy chil- dren here gathered in Thy name. From the uttermost bounds of the earth have we come to commemorate one of man's greatest achievements adown the ages. Make us. Thy children, realize that Thou art the source of light and of inspiration ; make us realize that great things are wrought through Thee alone. "To the city of St. Francis, enthroned in beauty by the western sea, give the grace of kindly hospitality, the blessing of an ever-widening vision of true great- ness, a faith and a hope that know not failure. To our glorious California give abundance of harvest, a boun- teous plenty of Thy treasures and a valiant race of [s] INVOCATION men blessed in the knowledge and sanctified In the ob- servance of Thy law. To our favored land, which Is from sea to sea, vouchsafe strength and unity and that peace which the world cannot give. Make us feel that the mighty City of God rises sublime through the centuries only when built on the foundations of justice and of truth; and, finally, to all the nations here rep- resented, grant a vision of the highest things of life — of the things that make for true progress, for real brotherhood, for lasting union, for unfailing love, for mighty achievement in time, and for that glory which is everlasting. Amen!" The prayer of Rabbi Meyer was as follows — the one hundredth and forty-eighth Psalm : ''Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens; praise Him in the Heights. "Praise ye Him, all His Angels; praise ye, all His hosts. "Praise ye Him, sun and moon; praise Him all ye stars of light. "Praise Him, ye heaven of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. "Let them praise the name of the Lord; for He commanded and they were created. "He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not pass. "Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps. "Fire and hail, snow and vapors; stormy wind ful- filling His word; "Mountains and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars ; "Beasts and all cattle; creeping things and flying fowl; "Kings of the earth and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth. [6] INVOCATION "Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children. "Let them praise the name of the Lord; for His name alone is excellent; His glory is above the earth and heaven. "He also exalteth the horn of His people, the praise of all His saints ; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Praise ye the Lord." The listening multitude were inspired by the beau- tiful prayers of these eminent divines, and all breathed a prayer in their own faith. Nothing could be more sincere; all were fervent., and the faith still holds.

This message enlightened the world: The Exposition opened; The opening was attended by — Everybody in San Francisco, And the surrounding country; And thousands and thousands of visitors, And others ! The Exposition was opened and its great success begun ; And since that day thousands and more thousands counting into millions have attended, and all have immensely enjoyed their visits and gone away with joy in their heart and mind and words of praise to pass to their relatives and friends: "The Greatest Exposition Ever Held." This is the opinion of all who have attended pre- vious expositions and this great Panama-Pacific In- ternational Exposition. The leading statesmen, editors, financiers, profes- sional men and others have attended the Exposition, and all have but words of praise ! With this endorsement, it can be well understood how the residents of San Francisco and the State of California, and the various other States of the Pacific Coast, feel in regard to the Exposition ! The feeling is most affectionate and most sincere. Nothing has ever happened equal to this great Ex- position, and nothing ever will. And to all this I wish to add my tribute ! [8] 'the rising sun" — BY A. A. WEINMANN EXALTATION And it is this: This is the Greatest Exposition Ever Held, and it never will be excelled, and it is doubtful if it will ever be equalled. And if you have attended — You know its joys! And if you have not attended — You will find within the pages herewith the Best Bits, and I hope you will enjoy them as I have!

[12] ^^^^^^^^^v^^^^^^^^^-^^^^^-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ADMIRATION Magnificent ! Beautiful! Splendid ! Elegant ! Wonderful ! Gorgeous ! Marvelous ! Tremendous ! Stupendous ! I stood one day at the Fillmore Street entrance to the Exposition and I heard all of the above words and others. They were all first-impression words and were a good average for days that I repeated the same ob- servation test. In this way I received the impressions of others. Everybody had only words oiF delight, not one word of disappointment or disapproval. On other days I stood at the entrance gates and lis- tened to the words of the visitors as they passed out : A wonderful day ! A perfect day ! A beautiful day! I am so glad I came ! I enjoyed it so much! I would not have missed it for anything ! These and other expressions of joy showed that all appreciated to the full extent the beauty and interest of the Exposition ! Artists have pictured; Writers have written ; Poets have sung; [ 13 ] ADMIRATION Speakers have spoken; All for the Exposition, and all has been in its praise ! Not a discordant note. And I add my tribute : The Exposition is a thing of beauty and a joy ever ! [14] l^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^r^l^-^^^^^^^'J^'i^T^^l^^^l^^^;^^^ COURTS AND. PALACES Ready! Come along ! We're off to the Exposition ! Transportation ! Street car! Taxicab ! Jitney bus ! Or behind the horses ! Any way you like ! Well, make it street car ! The Municipal line, which has clean, airy cars, courteous employees, and is a success; or The United Railways, which is equally good and covers all that the city line does not cover. Well, we are on the car. And after a pleasant ride are at — The Fillmore Street entrance! We're here ! Now to begin: We're to see the most in the shortest space of time. Leaving the entrance we start on a short walk to. the right and we are In — Machinery Hall, or — to be technically correct, — The Palace of Machinery: The palace Is the largest of the Exposition palaces. The size will be realized when It is recalled that the late lamented aviator, Lincoln Beachey, actually flew inside this building. The palace entered, the first display noted Is that of the Standard Gas Company, with a display of vari- ous types of gas engines and machines. Then turning to the right to view the exhibits In that portion of the building first, we confront the exhibits [is] COURTS AND PALACES of the National Meter Company. Here we view the workings of the Interior of various liquid meters. Passing along this aisle by various small exhibits we come to the exhibit of the Burger & Carthy Com- pany. This Is a display of machines used In the fruit preserving business, and It Is a revelation of the huge machines that are used In this Industry! My goodness ! the things we see, they are wonder- ful ; they are marvelous ! Passing through this first aisle, we turn to the left and go through the next aisle, and we first face a series of exhibits consisting of machinery, lathes and pumps. The display of the RIalto Engineering Construction Company consists, in addition to a fine showing of their various sized pumps, of a waterfall fed by one of their latest Improved pumping installations. Along In this section we find displays of various smaller class machinery; to the back of the palace at this end are working exhibits of various conveyors, and a very Interesting display of machinery for road building and grading; pile-drivers, concrete mixers, steam rollers, and other class machinery of this kind are there In great display. Passing across the palace at the back we find the Printing Trade Section, and here we find the very interesting exhibit of the San Francisco Examiner, the father of all the great Hearst papers. Here Is given an opportunity to see how a great newspaper Is made : Linotypes in operation, the block process, the machin- ery of printing, stereotyping, etc., and all In full op- eration. This exhibit of the San Francisco Examiner Is well worth an extended visit, for we are all interested In the printed word. After carefully viewing, we pass along to the Elec- trical Exhibit, and here we find everything of Interest [i6] COURTS AND PALACES in this great industry which has developed so tremen- dously. The palace now has been viewed, with the excep- tion of about one-fourth, and this is occupied by an elaborate display of the United States Army and Navy. Here we pause again, for there is much of interest, — a model of a harbor, a model of a gun fac- tory, and so much of material moment that it must be seen to be appreciated. Now we have completed our trip through this pal- ace, and we pause before we begin again. Now we are off again and to : The Palace of Mines and Metallurgy: This Is to the right of the visitor standing with back to the Palace of Machinery. Passing through the main entrance of the palace, we find on our left the exhibits of various large manu- facturers. Here is one of the Standard Oil Company, the American Coal Products Company, the United States Steel Company, and others, all well worth viewing. Along in the same direction we arrive in a section devoted to the exhibits of the various life insurance companies. Here we find interesting displays of the great Prudential Life Insurance Company, of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and others, and these displays should appeal and do appeal to all who are interested in this great subject — one that should Interest everybody ! Retracing our steps along the main aisle, we view many Interesting and elaborate exhibits : We find Japan has a very fine display of mining from Its country; And we find a most interesting exhibit known as '^The Mine." This Is a composite mine and consists of the reproduction of typical sections of various [17] PORTAL OF ALL THE PALACES FACING NORTH — BY W. B. FAVH.LE COURTS AND PALACES mines. Through an open door the visitor enters, de- scends a shaft, is given a lantern, and then you may wander in the wonders. Here you see a section of a gold mine, then a section of a coal mine, then a sec- tion of a tin mine, and so you get your correct im- pressions of this tremendous industry — mining — the industry that adds to the world's wealth without im- poverishing any individual — the industry that the Government should encourage in every way. Coming up from "The Mine," we next visit the display made by the United States for the Postoffice and the Treasury departments; and here we find ex- hibits of things of which we never thought in connec- tion with the work of these departments, and all are mighty interesting. We linger, view, and then depart at the entrance opposite to where we entered, and we find ourselves in a handsome court — the Court of Abundance. Here we view its great beauty, and then to the right to another beautiful court — the Court of the Rising Sun — with more beauty to imbibe — and then we enter the building at our right hand and we are in : The Palace of Transportation: Passing through the entrance, we face in the center of the palace an enormous elevated turn-table, upon which stands a huge full-size electric engine made by the Westinghouse Brake Company. About one-half of the entire floor space has been given over to exhibits of road transportation, and this, as quite expected, consists of popular automo- biles. Of these concerns there are about four-score. This automobile section is divided into a series of courts, one interesting feature of which is great relief friezes showing road routes of various parts of the country; and this is to be included in the Great Lin- coln Highway, the road from San Francisco to New York. [i8] COURTS AND PALACES Other Interesting "Best Bits" are: The biplane of Lincoln Beachey; the old hydroplane of Robert Fowler, the first airship to fly across the Isthmus of Panama, and others. The left portion of the building nearest the visitor is filled with displays of steamship companies, and this Includes the noted Japanese steamship lines, while the remaining portion Is devoted to railway transpor- tation. Several of the railways have very Interesting ex- hibits, notably that of the Pennsylvania Railway, the Denver & Rio Grande, and others. There is also an exhibit of the Wells Fargo Com- pany, which is very attractive. Here you will see an old-fashioned stage coach, and you can compare the "days-of-old" travel with the "luxury-of-today" travel. By the way ! You must stop in the automobile section, and If you want to you can have an automobile put together for you while you wait — yes, just that — while you wait. But stop and see it. I won't tell you any more about it. Everybody wants an automobile ! Well, here you get the pick of the market, — all the noted makes, — and to suit all purses. Now, we leave the Transportation Palace and we visit the Court of the Universe. Here at the head of the court is the Tower of Jewels, beautiful and re- splendent — that's all ; It will live forever In the mem- ory of its beholders. Stand in the center of the Court of the Universe and feast your eyes and brain on the statuary. Then proceed to the Court of the Setting Sun, feast, and pass through and to : The Palace of Agriculture: My personal opinion on agriculture is that It is the most important [19] COURTS AND PALACES of all industries! For if our agriculturists should band together, then decide to strike, you think what would happen — now think again ! Well, we now enter the palace, and on our right are a number of attractive exhibits by our various States. They are all well worth visiting again and again, and study the "Back to the Land Movement," and then study the question. After inspecting the State exhibits we come to the section devoted to the great exhibit of the Interna- tional Harvester Company. Here are shown reapers, plowers, sowers, etc., and traction engines, and many more land machines, all wonderfully interesting. When we have viewed our American exhibits enough we turn to the foreign exhibits. Japan and China displays are full of interest, and New Zealand and Uruguay are well worth visiting. And you are well repaid in this stately Palace of Agriculture. Leaving now, we pass into the Court of the Four Seasons. Look it over carefully — it is well worth noting and studying. After we have enjoyed it to the full, we pass through and enter: The Palace of Food Products: "We Eat to Live." In this palace are things we are all interested in very vitally, for they are the vital things of vital life. We find in the palace that Japan leads the foreign nations with its exhibit; and the large corporations of our country have attractive and artistic exhibits. Some of the very interesting ones are : The Sperry Flour Company, the California Viticulture Associa- tion, the Heinz Company, and others. Upon leaving, we pass along into the open, and then at the head of the grand lagoon we proceed to : The Palace of Fine Arts : I won't attempt to tell you what to see here, for you will find so much [20] COURTS AND PALACES that It Is Impossible to tell you about all; so why try to tell you? I will just state that some of the best pictures In the world are here. One artist told me he could spend years In looking over the pictures here. But we must pass along. If you want to come back other days, do so, but our party has limited time now, so we now leave, and passing by State, foreign and other buildings, we go to : The Palace of Education: Most Important of the displays In this palace are those of the United States, and the Japanese exhibit follows In order of Importance. New York^s display Is a very Interesting one. Cali- fornia features Its University Extension work; Ore- gon makes her rural schools the center of Interest. Other States have other leading features. In this palace are also the Child Welfare and Child Labor displays, made by the United States Govern- ment, and of which I hope later to write a book. The United States Shoe Machinery Company Is the only industrial organization of Its kind havlntr an exhibit In the Palace of Education. This exhibit has been awarded a gold medal because of Its educa- tional value, and a gold medal for the Company's work In the direction of Social economy. A gold medal awarded to old shoes! This Is hard to realize; old shoes have always seemed such humble things. Yet this collection Is the means of tracing the de- velopment of one of our greatest industries from the days of the primitive man to the spring of 19 15 and from the deserts of Africa and the corners of Korea through the length and breadth of Europe, across the Atlantic to New England and even to the West- ern plains — a circuit of all the world and all the cen- turies In shoes. [21] COURTS AND PALACES To complete the story the making of a pair of shoes is shown by a series of motion pictures. These are made by the Goodyear welt process, in which 1 60 different machines are employed and the shoe passes through 209 pairs of hands. Think of it! This exhibit was placed in the Palace of Educa- tion at the request of the Director of that Palace be- cause of its highly educational value. The portion of the exhibit receiving a gold medal in social economy deals with the sociological work being done by the United Shoe Machinery Company. Their monster plant at Beverly, Massachusetts, seems a materialization of the command, "let there be light," for over eighty per cent of the wall space is clear glass windows. The air is changed every twelve minutes by a system of ventilation. Hygienic conditions are ideal. Baths, showers, bubbling fountains, ventilated lockers and rest rooms are installed. All practical safety devices are in use to protect the workman. A hospital is maintained in event of sudden sickness or injury. Any employee who wishes is allotted a sufficient amount of land to raise garden vegetables. A dining room is open in the factory where the working man may secure fresh, well-cooked food at cost. There is provided for the employees a beautiful Country Club. They have a motor boat club of fifty- two motor boats, gun club, soccer football field, cricket crease, baseball diamond, tennis courts, golf course — in fact, every branch of healthful outdoor sport seems to be represented. The three hundred acres of land which have been placed at the disposal of the employees of the United Shoe Machinery Company seem to be for them a veritable Happyland. It is not their only compensa- [ " ] COURTS AND PALACES tlon, however, for no mill in Massachusetts pays an equal wage. I heartily recommend that those who have welfare work at heart send to the United Shoe Machinery Co., Boston, Mass., for their descriptive literature. The fact that these people have been given such prominence in the Educational Building speaks vol- umes for the splendid work they are doing. Other interesting exhibits in the building are: The Montessori Training Course; The Gary School, in which vocational training is the principal feature; The New York State Prison display, in which are some of the evidences of Mr. T. M. Osborne's re- markable reforms. On the wall of this display is a picture of the officers of the prison playing ball with the life prisoners; The exposure of patent medicines that are com- posed almost entirely of alcohol; The various religious booths; The State of Pennsylvania has a most wonderful exhibit of its health propaganda. The Social Economy displays are also here, (and some of these are in others in the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy), and must be seen to be appreciated. Now, leaving, we cross the wide main avenue and we are at the entrance to : The Palace of Horticulture : This is covered with a huge glass dome. Underneath this dome Is a mammoth hothouse, and here are beautiful flowers and plants. In the palace adjoining the domed portion are the exhibits of the various States and private concerns. The only foreign country showing In this building is Japan, which seems to have had a most Intense de- sire to exhibit In every palace, and this desire has been [23] COURTS AND PALACES gratified both in a satisfactory and attractive and artistic manner. Among the States making good displays may be noticed that of Oregon and Washington, and, of course, other States. Luther Burbank, the famous planter and world benefactor, has a display of great interest. There is much to see, but we must pass on, as time flies, and we cross through the Court of Palms with glances of admiration, and we enter: The Palace of Liberal Arts : Here we find on the left an interesting display by our United States Government. And this includes a stately, beautiful model of the Capitol at Washington. We cross the central passageway and we pass to the nearest half of the palace, and we confront the exhibits of some of our notable firms. This part of the building has been arranged in a series of avenues, each filled with the show booths of different concerns and individuals. "Best Bits" in this palace are: The giant type- writer; the Japan exhibit, yes, again; radium, owned by Germans, value $300,000; long-distance wire talk. New York to San Francisco; and the United States Government display. Leaving the palace, we pass by the Tower of Jewels and continue on our way to : The Palace of Manufactures: And again Japan confronts us with the largest exhibit in the pal- ace, all worth seeing. Silks, all the latest; hand-em- broidered pictures, one of these, "Waves at Sunset," a marvel of beauty, valued at $2,500; pearls of great price, one at $10,000; wonderful ivoiy, one of fruit carved to defy detection, the subject an apple and bananas. [24] COURTS AND PALACES Italy has a grand exhibit of statuary. Nothing like this has ever been seen in this country. It is a marvelous collection. And many of the exhibits of private concerns are worth visiting. Among them are : But we must proceed, and passing out and crossing the Court of Flowers we enter the last of the large palaces. The Palx\ce of Varied Industries: My gra- cious, here is a display in its entirety that needs a book. You find exhibits of all kinds — gold, silver, glass, marble, bronze, iron, rubber and pottery. You see displays of cotton, wool, silk, fibre. You notice garments of skin, fur and leather. You see toys, furniture, carpets, hardware. Oh ! you can see everything, and it is all interesting. But now we will rest a bit and then we will go over to the amusement quarters — the greatest ever. Don't look, now, and we will tell you about it on the next page. [25] i^^^^^^^^^^^^^t^i^^^^^^^^^^^^^^'^^^^^^s^f^^^^*^ ZONE Zonitis! Meaning: Joyous ! Gay! Laughter ! Grins ! Brilliancy! Mirth! Instructive ! And everything that expresses the joys of earth. This is what you catch on the Zone ! It is perfectly infectious, contagious and tremen- dously rapid in spread and action. It is permanent. It is harmonious. It is pleasant. It is mirth-provoking. It is everything nice. All ages can get it and are glad of it, and then some! You get it as soon as you enter : The Zone ! And it lasts all the time you are there. And has a lasting influence ! Now that you have the germ we will proceed through : The Zone! We enter at the Van Ness Avenue entrance and pro- ceed down on the right-hand side. First we call into : The Yellowstone Park: This Is a reproduc- tion of this great park, and it teems with the life that abounds in the original. [26] ZONE After viewing this park we go across the avenue and we come to: The Turkish Village : The whole appearance and atmosphere of the place is Oriental, and in the theatre are the dancers of the country, and in and around are lots of things and people of interest. Leaving here we saunter along and on each side we are appealed to by voice, by music, by dancers; in fact, in every way to stop, look and listen. We do, and it's all so interesting. Everything has some attraction for us; but we cannot see all in one day or one week or one month ; so we have to pick out such as we care to see and let the others go with regret. What is best? There is no best! All are good. They cannot be compared. They are all different. What appeals to you may not appeal to sister, brother or friend. Personally, I liked everything. This is the best way to see them if you have the time : See everything! Then you will not be overlooking anything. The Zone is a half mile long. It has attractions on each side as close together as it is possible to place them. Thus you have: A mile of amusement. All good. All clean. All interesting. Almost all of these attractions are new Ideas. Some of these are : The Panama Canal: This is an enormous work- ing model of the canal. It Is absolutely true to scale [27] ZONE and to the original in every particular. It Is as good as a trip to the canal, from the educational viewpoint. Everybody is interested in the first family of earth, so see : Creation: This is a representation of what is supposed to have happened when the world was cre- ated. Well, it is a very interesting attraction, no matter how you view it or what your opinion may be on the first day of earth. However, it Is clever, no matter how you view It. We all read of the : Dayton Flood: Well, here it is in all its terrific grandeur. Persons who were in the real flood assure me that this is an exact reproduction of what hap- pened. The occurrence is faithfully followed in every particular. It is very ingenious and must be seen to be appreciated. Old children and young children will like : ToYLAND G. U. : The G. U. stands for Grown Up, and It has grown up. Toys of all descriptions have grown to tremendous size. Our toy soldiers at the entrance are about 60 feet high. The town pump is about 150 feet high and the pumper about 100 feet. Mother Hubbard's cupboard Is four stories high, and is filled with things to eat, and generally people eat- ing there. The dog is here, too, but he's not hungry; and there are other features, all of our cherished childhood days. Everybody likes to "hark back." That "hark back" sounds good. I don't know where It originated or Its definite and proper meaning, but It is used in polite and other society. However, to "hark back" in a proper and befitting manner we must go to the : Forty-Nine Camp: The entrance is an old-time stockade, gun-proof, Indian-proof, and only opened by money, so It is not coin-proof. (Life please copy and credit this time.) After entering you find you [28] ZONE are in a blooming mining camp. Remember, these are the old days. The boomers now have autos, money and everything. Well, we are In the old days, and here are the husky miners, the daring cowboys, the polished gamblers, the beautiful dance-hall ladles and other attractions too numerous to mention. But you see all and you will find enjoyment. Our enterprising friend, Japan, is well represented on the Zone, as It is everywhere else In the Exposition. In fact, I think Japan Is the best represented of any of the foreign nations. Be that as It is, we will say go and view : The Japanese Village: The great Idol Dai- butshu presides and protects the village and Its con- tents. Here are several theatres, a band, wrestlers, and, of course, workers. Everything you may find In a native village Is here, and some things added. Tea- houses, cake-shops, games, all add to the village at- tractions, and over all Is that atmosphere of courtesy that is a prevailing trait of the people. You stay as long or as short as you like. You are not Importuned to spend your money, but you will spend it, for there are so many attractions. Want to go up in the air? All right. Let's enter: The Aeroscope : This is something new. It is a car on the end of a large steel arm. You enter and the electric power raises the arm to a vertical position and you are above your fellows, right up with the birds. You have a fine view of the Exposition, and then the arm revolves and your view reaches In every direction. Coming down to earth, we resolve to go under water and we walk to the : Submarines: Neptune quite fittingly rules here, and you enter and get Into the submarine and then you see some of the wonders of the deep. You were right. Mermaids do sleep In the deep, for there is [29] ZONE one asleep now, and there are others all awake. Who wouldn't be a fish and live In such nice company and surroundings? Well, we must get back to earth. We saunter along and on each side we hear music; all have music. We hear voices; all have voices. We see sample attractions; all have samples. And we say: I would like to see every one of these Interest- ing attractions, but — goodness, gracious ! — how can I do It, for there Is so much, but I will see all I can, and I can't do more ! And the moral to all Is: Get Zonltis ! And get It at once. And get It permanently and spread It everywhere ! But you might see : London to the South Pole ; Stella, a $50,000 painting; The Hawaiian Village; The Tehuantepec Village; The Irish Village ; Captain, the talking horse; The Samoan Village; The Australian Village.

Home co-operation demanded, insisted and re- ceived, and the result is the : California Building! Therefore — In order to see the fruits of the Golden State you must spend some time with the exhibits in the State Building! The building is of the old Spanish-Mission style. It has many bell turrets. It covers five acres of ground. In the patios about which the building is constructed flowers bloom and fountains play, and peace abounds.

[66] ♦**«*******»*»***************»***»♦»»»**** SCULPTURES Sculpture ! Is one of the most important arts to the Exposi- tion ; Without sculpture, architecture is apt to be too formal; Sculptors in this Exposition have had a free hand; and they have improved their opportunity; Never anywhere has there been such a display of sculpture ; Adorning arches, and columns, in niches, on walls, as fountains and in free standing groups, sculpture abounds everywhere ! Sculpture, like music, embodies a mood. The nine beautiful fountains may be described as follows by a word: 1. Fountain of Energy — Joyous. 2. Fountain of Life — Dramatic. 3 and 4. Fountains of Rising and Setting Sun — Architectonic. 5. Fountain of Youth — Naive. 6. Fountain of El Dorado — Realistic. 7. Fountain of Ceres — Classic. 8. Fountains of Four Seasons — Pastoral. 9. Fountain of Beauty and the Beast — Playful. There are over five hundred pieces of sculpture in and about the Exposition Grounds, and it is said that this is the largest collection ever brought together !

This Exposition is the first in which a unified color scheme has been used; Jules Guerin, the famous colorist, devised the plan and supervised its execution; The Exposition is tinted in eight colors: French green for garden lattices, etc. ; Deep cerulean blue for recessed panels and vaulted ceilings; Orange pink for flag-poles; Pinkish red with a dash of brown for the back- ground of colonnades; Golden burnt orange for small domes and mould- ings; Terra cotta for domes ; Gold for statuary; Verde antique for urns and vases; These are the colors and they harmonize wonder- fully! The buildings proper are of an old ivory tint, col- ored after the famous Travertine stone; The perfectly exquisite harmony of the color blending of everything makes the Exposition of won- drous splendor.
