r OS ANGELES will hold the great
est International exposition ever
- given in the history of the world.
1t will eclipse the worlds fairs of
Chicago and st. Louis and the Paris
exposition of 1900 will fade into insig-
nificance beside it.
Plans are being perfected on a scale
that exceeds any previous effort on
either hemisphere.
Last night a large number of the
most prominent and wealthy men of
Los Angeles and vicinity met in the
committee room of the chamber of
commerce and formed a corporation,
capitalized at $25,OOO0OO as the first
STEP Before plans have advanced to
completion this capitalization may be
increased to $10O,O0O,O00.
The monster fair will be held in 1915.
This date was chosen as running as
nearly parallel with the completion of
the Panama canal and the owens river
project as can be estimated so far in
advance.
This exposition will be for the pur-
pose of displaying and advancing the
arts, sciences. Industries and inventions
and for commemorating mans achieve
ment in the cause of civilization" as
stated in the articles of incorporation.
but this Is not all. One Of the chief
ends Of the incorporation is the promo
ton of universal peace, and with this
object in view the exposition will be
known as the Universal Peace and
Commerce exposition"
All Nations to Be Invited
The articles of Incorporation state
that the exposition is for the purpose
of promoting a sentiment of univer-
sal peace and encouraging a reign of
harmony between all nations and peo-
pies of the earth. All organizations and
governments will be invited to send
representatives to such commission,
authorized to unite In an effort to es-
tablish an era OF universal peace"
The articles of Incorporation will be
filed Monday.
Ever since the Owens river project
was assured of success business men
of Los Angeles have been revolving In
their minds the idea OF holding an in
ternational exposition. Their idea was
to commemorate the completion of the
water project. The committee has
never made an official report, but mem
bers of 1t have stated, unofficially,
that all immediate dates for such a
project have been taken by other cities.
But never in their widest dreams did
the business men who were interested
In an International exposition have
visions of such stupendous under
taking as was evolved last night.
Last nights climax came as the
natural growth of the first fair fancy.
1t was to have been an Owens river
celebration to which the nations of the
world would be invited to contribute
and join In Southern CALIFORNIA; great
rejoicing. But with the wealth and
enterprise OF Los Angeles ana Southern

bound to grow. and II developed until

1t is far cry from THE HILL"
Horace A. vachell's last story. to THE
Face of Clay" his latest. THE Hill"
was vigorous story of schoolboy life
at Rugby, containing no element more
tender than that of fraternal devotion.
1.-The Face of Clay" is an "interpre-
tation" of quite another phase of ex-
istence. Brittany, the strange, pic.
turesque country of pardOns," SO be-
loved of the artistic and the psychical-
ly superstitious, serves as a back
ground for a plot decidedly unusual,
and the quantity fascinating Breton
atmosphere and feeling almost charm
the reader. Certain incidents and &C.
tons might not seem fully natural
otherwise environed, but SO placed
no doubt remains of their unpretend-
ing realism. The writer, in his genial
French dedication, says that many
times, when far removed from that
pretty little corner of the EARTH" he
has been homesick for Brittany. Some
thing of his half-sad, half-amused,
wholly tender and ahfectionate atti-
tude toward his characters and their
setting makes itself felt in the book.
Tephany Lane, daughter of a dead
Bretoane and an English artist, has
for her best friend Michael Ossory, a
promising young Cornishman who also
paints. Even after her fathers death
sends Tephany to loneliness and fame
In England they continue to cores
pond, until Ossory suddenly stops
writing. When her throat fails the
girl goes back to Pont-Aven, ostensi-
bly, to revisit her childish home, really
to seek her childish lover. She finds
him, but strangely altered. And, bit
by bit, the story of his selfishly I'M
conscious cruelty to the simple peas
ant girl of whose tragic death he
deems himself guilty comes to Teph-
any's knowledge. Another lover, Gin
ton Carne, presses the final acts upon
her. yet in the end, Ossory's sin being
proved after all not quite so black az
he himself has believed it, Tephany
places her hand in his for fresh
start. The face of clay" that pre-
cipitates at once her sorrow and glad
ness is the death mask of poor Lie
zenn, pathetically potent in its per-
petual repose.
This is but the merest outline of :,
tale dramatically we'll told and i'm
pressive, many-sided in its appeal to
basic human emotions. The character
drawing is good, the action sufficiently
strong and varied alone to prevent
dullness. But it is the moving Brit
tany spirit that grips the attention
and heart.
Alice Brown never has attained her
due need of popularity, perhaps be-
cause her work is too delicate of line,
too fine of texture to spring into popu-

Swimming Notes

Twenty years ago no man living
could swim 100 yards under 65A
seconds; last year the record was
brought as low as So seconds. Dur
ing the same period l minute SO IL
seconds has been knocked off the 500
yards time, nearly minutes off the
half mile and the mile record has been
reduced from % minutes 1884
seconds to "a minutes AZ 3-5 seconds.
while proportionate reductions have
been made at intermediate and greater
distances. How enormous this i'm
provement is in speed it can be gather
from the fact that the champion of
today could give the champion of 1886
yards start in mile race and beat
him handsomely.
But although our swimmers have
gained speed. says London Tit-Bits,
1t is doubtful whether they are whit
superior in stamina to their predeces-
sors of score or more years ago; in
deed. many of the feats of the seven
ties and eighties could scarcely be
eclipsed today. Thirty-one years have
gone since Captain Webb startled the
world by breasting his way across the
English channel, covering 80 1-2 miles
in q ga hours-a feat which such
doughty swimmers as Holbein, Bur-
CESS. Holmes, Heaton and others have
tried in vain to rival.
Mr.. Holmes has more than once
had victory almost in his grasp, only
to be defeated within sight of the shore
he had struggled SO long to reach.
Olce he was actually within three
quarters of mile of St. Margaret's
bay when he had to abandon the strug-
gle. In the same year Q902) he accon-
plishei the journey all but two miles.
and in 1901 he was five miles short of
completing his task. 1t is only fair,
however, to these gallant swimmers
to say that even Captain Webb did not
succeed at the first time of asking,
for in an attempt made twelve days
before his successful crossing he was
compelled to leave the water after
covering only 1872 miles.
twenty-five years ago Horace
Davenport performed a most creditable
feat in crossing from Southsea to
Ryde and back in choppy sea in
5 hours and 25 minutes. and about
the same time Dalton is said to have
swan the enormous distance of GO
miles in the channel.
Among other remarkable feats of
twenty years or more ago, in April,
1886, J. Finney stayed under wa.e-
in tank at the Canterbury Theater
of Varieties for minutes and 20 sec
onds, feat which has only once been
beaten. Finney also swan 113 yards
foot in costume, under water, and,
with his hands tied behind his back,
picked up IS coins with his mouth
