diery. There is space of 10000
square feet devoted to the American
display. The exhibits entitled "Raii-

mer0us to mention. Next we come
to the leather exhibit. Here we find
perfect rainbow of colors iD the
softest and most beautiful shades of
leather, and we saw shoes made from
beginning to end. Here we found
an elephants hide weighing 800
pounds. We would love to tell you
of California, of her luscious fruits,
the horse and rider made of prunes,
pyramids of oranges and beautiful
grasses; of Ceylon. their gods, their

four men. In Midway we find Chi
