 The car climbs . grade along the southern front of the Inside Inn, where are sleeping accommodations for 6,a5o persons. The Worlds Fair visitor may live within the walls and divide his time between sightseeing and rest as ne chooses. Passing the Inside Inn the trav- eler reaches the eastern boundary of the Worlds Fair grounds and Is on the Pla- teau of States. For half a mile and more the course parallels Commonwealth Ave- uue and passes many of the forty-two State and Territorial buildings scattered on eligible sites fronting upon winding roadways.,
 Several of these buildings have from 200 to 300 feet frontage and represent an expenditure of about si00000 each.

 Commonwealth Avenue terminates in front of Missouris Worlds Fair Capitol, structure commensurate with the States appropriation of $.00o.000. Just in front of Missouri and on a lower level but still above the main picture stands the great structure of the United States Government, but little smaller than the United States Capitol. The work of the mail service, the minting of metals, the paper money-making and the scientific bureaus and laboratories. the treasures of the museums. which are housed in the Government Building are only parts of the Government exhibits. Beyond the great structure are caught glimpses through the forest of the Fish Commis- sion Building. of the greatest bird caes ever built, of the seacoast battery and of other outdoor Government exhibits.
 As the Intramurai car glides down to the level of the exhibit palaces it passes a camp of the sea soldiers, the hattali sn of Marines. the United States Field Hos- pital and the Press Building, a reminder of the quaint character of architecture familiar when the twelve States and two Territories were only the Lower and Up- per Province of Louisiana.
