CHICAGO, March 31.-Between fif-
teen and sixteen thousand men are
now employed day and night at Jack
son Park. Worlds Fair officials are
positive in their assertions that all
the buildings will be practically com.
pleted by the 1st of May, and say the
work-of Installing exhibits will have
been so far finished by that time that
the casual observer will not be aware
that there is anything lacking in the
great exhibit. Car loads and train
loads of exhibits are coming in at a
lively rate, and all branches of the
installation department are working
'lndcr yt.Sa3J pressure. TIP to date
everything in sight has been handled
with prOmptness and with care.
The construction of booths is pre-
crossing rapidly, but nowhere more
50 than in the liberal arts depart
ment. Nearly ali the foreign coun-
tries have their space fenced in and
joiners are now busy constructing
pagados, shelves, cases, Sc, where
the educational methods of the differ
ent countries will be elaborately
illustrated. New South Wales, Eng
lduu. 1Udly. duC Sdu-
ada have their space all fenced up and
the installation hall begun.
GUNS AND PAINTINGS.
The most valuable of the consign-
ments so far received are the Krupp
pieces, together with the minor ne
cessities in the improved art of war,
have been appraised at 1926, 1000. Ger
many's lot of one hundred paintings,
designed to ornament the Woman's
Building, ranks next. They are list
ed at S37 ,592. New South Wales, with
its varied exhibit, follows in order
with So, ,5S4 charged up to its account
in favor of a United States tariff.
The work of construction of foreign
buildings is worthy of praise for the
speed and excellence with which it
has been executed. These buildings
will be completed on the opening day.

S17, ,00o,0 In the vicinity of jack
son Park apartment houses, hotels
and boarding houses are springing up
rapidly, and it now Looks as though
there will be 70 trouble in taking care
of the crowds.
NATIONAL GUARD CAMP OFF.
The proposed encampment of the
National Guards of the different
States to be held during the Worlds
Fair has been definitely abandoned.
Unforeseen obstacles have greatly dis
couraged the hackers of the scheme,
and now the refusal of the State of
Illinois to loan the tents belonging to
the National Guard of that State has
knocked them out completely.
The model Worlds Fair Sunday
school building is now an assured
fact, sufficient money for its construc-
tion having been subscribed.
