MIA EXPOSITION
Panorama Rink Rapidly Approaching
Festive Appearance--DIspIays
Going In VIII Be Live Ones,
Showing Processes

So rapid has been the progress made
on the converting of the Panorama
building into an exhibit hall for the
Made in Southern California" exposi-
tion that we'll defined idea is now OBJ
tainable of how it is going to look. And
1t is easily to be seen that it will be a
thing of beauty as we'll as of practical
instruction.
The main building Of the affair--for
several additions have been made to the
Panorama rink proper-has been draped
In the national colors, long streamers
radiating from the center to the several
circular walls, in rainbow effect, which
is very handsome. Hundreds Of elec-
trio lights have been strung from these
and have been festooned about the hall
in various devices, which will make
the place as light as day. A large
bandstand has been erected for the
Santa Catalina band Of twenty-five
pieces which will give free concerts
every afternoon and evening. A stand
ard of height, twelve feet, has been
made for all booths, and they will thus
present a uniformity which will not Of
fend the eye. Otherwise every ex-
hibitor has free rein in making his
booth as attractive as he desires, and
architects have been busy creating fas-
cinating little houses for enterprising
exhibitors. Most of the displays will
permit Of effective groupings and hand
some arrangements and the whole will
have holiday cast which will indeed
be catching and fetching.
But utility will not be sacrificed to
beauty in any case. The displays are
for the purpose Of showing what Is
actually made in Southern California,
and especially in Los Angeles, and to
convince natives and visitors alike that
this is a great factory center-a thing
too few appreciate. Hence demonstra-
tions of actual processes have been re-
quired of every exhibitor and all dis
plays have ben contracted for on this
basis. Every exhibit will be a live"
one-that is, it will show machinery in
motion and demonstrate the processes
of manufacture right before the visi-
tors eyes. If a man show harness,
for instance, he will be making it right
there; if he display biscuit, he will bake
them in his booth; if he sell gems, he
will cut and mount them, and If he
manufactures condensed milk, he will
condense 1t for all inquirers while they
| look on. Thus the great fair will af-
| ford lessons of ineffaceable value.
| Already lis exhibits, no two alike,
| have secured floor space and have be-
gun to install their plants. A great
space cut out of the floor near the en-
trance is for a pump plant, where the
pump will spout water to the ceiling.
Another unique fountain will be of
wine from winery which will be MAX
ing port and claret. A bakery exhibit
will fill the entire center of the build
ing in space twenty feet in diameter
and extending to the dome. A gem cut
ter will carve California stones. A
wagon factory will display its goods
and make them in another space A
candy booth will show how bonbons
are concocted. And a variety of other
and different displays will all carry out
this principle. All the newspapers will
have booths and joint edition will be
issued as a program of the exposition.
Free tickets by the hundreds will
be distributed to all the city's many
visitors, who will include the Shriners.
and will be placed with all the local
shopkeepers and merchants as well as
with the exhibitors, and anyone asking
for them will receive them. The door
charge will be only 10 cents. The show
is under the direct patronage of the
Merchants and Manufacturers associa-
tion and has been indorsed by the
chamber of commerce, so that it may
be considered official in every way. It
opens May 2, and will run for two
weeks
