tracks where the locomotives and cars are
to be shown. There will be nothing left
undone to get the people into the show
place and show them the goods.
And all this is to be done for the benefit
of few hundred foreigners who are COM
ing to discuss transportation problems for
ten days in the District of Columbia. They
are the only ones the exhibition will inter-
est. and they are the only ones the exhib-
tors care to interest. In this particular
case there is absolutely no money in the
deal for anybody except the manufacturers
who happen to sell goods from samples
shown Admission to the grounds will be
by card only. and only members of the con-
gress will be supplied with cards.
The general public will not be admitted,
because there Is little that will interest the
general public. and because there will not
be room on the grounds to accommodate
them. The show is to remain in position
for ten days only. and will then be torn
down and the goods carted back to the
factories and shops.
Much Money Expended.
Thousands of dollars have been SPENT are
being spent and win be spent on this fea-
ture of the congress alone. It is estimated
that the exhibit viii have brought to WASH

the small booths to be provided as toilet
rooms and for telephone and telegraph sta
tons. The thing was to be made into an
exposition on the lines of international
exhibitions held everywhere and that in
little more than a month of time.
Mr.. Prescott Selected.
Mr.. Post and Mr.. Brown received esti-
mates on the work from various sources
and finally settled down on Samuel J. Pres
colt as the man to do the work Mr.. Pres
colt is a local contractor. He was called
III and told just what was wanted. There
was a large general exhibition building to
be constructed, 100 by 200 feet in size, that
would AFFORD accommodation for more than
200 exhibitors and leave room for aisles;
there were to be twenty-five other build
ings constructed on the grounds of varying
size, including an administration building.
ETC., and there was a fence to construct
about the entire space
The ground selected extends from 14th
to 18th streets and from street to the
driveway about the base Of the Monument.
In addition to the fence and buildings
there was to be an ornate entrance at the
intersection of 18th street and the whole
was to be made with some idea to archi-
tectura1 uniformity
Mr.. Prescott was informed that he would

RAIL WAY APPLIANCE EXHIBITION

Visitors from abroad are led to expect
many: things of America. The wonderful
stories that are told by veracious citizens
of the republic while touring beyond the
seas listened to with attention and
sometimes. it nfAst be confessed, with In
creduiity, but even the weird tales of some
of the self-appointed advertisers of the
glories of the United States sink into fnsig-
nificance beside the stories that are told the
returned European travellers who have
done the states" The audacity, the adj
dress and the progress of the people Of
America are sources of continual wonder
uent to their brothers across the seas.
Every visit to this country by them brings
out some new and startling fact and Amer
leans have come to be looked upon as a
class that does unheard-of things In an un-
fmaginably short space OF time.
In the District of Columbia there has
not been much of this sort of thing done,
however. Foreigners have been astounded
by the magnifcence of the general layout
of the city of Washington, but beyond that
and the beauty of some of the public build
ings they have found little here of me-
chanical nature to ponder over. However.

railroad men have learned much from their
European brethren in connection with the
railroad appliance exhibitions The most
they have learned is what not to do. So
the first task before the organization was
to secure the proper kind of people to push
the thing through. That meant something
Of task for the members of the American
section of the congress, but they went at
1t with a will, and unanimously chose
George A. Post of New York is the guiding

director of exhibits.

large puff with ruffie finish.
The spring colors in millinery are won

will be most favored Is certain. Bright

Two ostrich plunles, shading to dark blue
at the tip, swept over the crown and brim

secured the ends of the plumes.
A round hat for street wear is made of
coarse deep ecru straw. The brim is faced

circles the crown. At the left side there

CITY D|SCOVERER
HEARS A SAD TALE

The other afternoon, when the City Dis
eoverer started out for one of his long and
favorite rambles, 1t was with the feeling
that he must search for some out-of-the-
way spot, aside from the regular highway
of travel, and see and hear things that no
one else had CHANGED upon.
On his last few walks the City Discoverer
had enjoyed good luck These rambles,
with his steutest cane and his favorite
black briar as companions, were interesting
enough, and while ON them the Discoveries
mild blue eyes had often twinkled with in
terest and pleasure behind his gold-rimmed
glasses. But on this particular afternoon
he hoped for something more. and after
crossing the Aqueduct bridge the Discoverer
left the road and struck Off across the open
country. He had walked for several miles
through rather uninteresting scenes and
was about to turn back. when a quarter Of
a mile or so ahead Of him he saw q circular
Enclosure.
Il wonder what this Is" the Discoverer
remarked aloud when he had reached it.
There doesn't seem to be any one around.
and I'd like to inquire. Perhaps 1t is an
other experiment station" And the City
Discoverer tried to ind out, but just as he
had stopped to peek through a crack a
heavy hand was laid on his shoulder and
deep voice inquired: What are you doing
here?"
II was wondering" replied the City Dis
coverer as he regained his balance and his
dignity and gazed on the feree-looking per-
son who had addressed him, what is going
on inside
And what business is 1t of yoursg' asked
the fierce-fooking person gruffiy.
The City Discoverer smiled and his mild
blue eyes shone with trust and friendliness.
None at ALL he answered, politely. but

person with a terrific frown. "that you are
