EXPOSITION BUILDING
READY AND TENANTED
BOOTHS ERECTED TO SHOW
HOMEMADE PRODUCTS
Structure on the Old Panorama Rink
Site Possesses Twice the Floor
Space Available Last
Year

That they continue to "do things"
in Los Angeles has jdst been DEM
onstrated in the construction of the
immense building that will house the
Made in Southern California exposition,
which is to open it's doors to the gen.
eral public in November.
The Building which stands on the site
of the ID Panorama rink on Main
street, b. tween Third and Fourth, has
O floor space of nearly $4,000 square
feet, or twice that utilized by the ex-
position held last year under the same
management.
In the construction of the building
there were used approximately 100000
feet of lumber, and on foundation
constructed with a view to sustaining
the weight of heavy machinery and the
throng of visitors, the entire edifice
was put up and rooted within six
working days.
To perform this remarkable feat 1t
was necessary to employ double shift
of carpenters and other workmen. The
construction is of such a substantial
character that the building could be
used permanently if so desired.
With the practical completion of the
structure many of the exhibitors began
the work of building booths for the
display OF IHelT pIOuuClS. OH6 nun
bred and fifty concerns that manufac-
ture or deal in Southern California
products have taken space for the dis
play of their wares. Every foot will be
occupied before the opening day in
November
The exposition will demonstrate in
an emphatic manner the wonderful
growth of the manufacturing interests
of Southern California, and particu-
larly those of Los Angeles and be q
revelation even to those who have lived
here during the past few years and
watched the erection of great business
and oce buildings and the marvellous
expansion of the residence districts,
but have not had the opportunity OF
knowing that the manufacturing
growth of the city has been relatively
as great as that of the general business
district, or the increase in population.
VIII Be Blaze of Light
At night the exposition will be
blaze of light. The illumination plan
provides for the installation of over
5000 incandescent bulbs, while the gem
eral outline of the building viii be
marked by number of arc lights or
intense power.
One of the most interesting and in
structive features of the exposition Will
be the display on canvas of the two

A report the drivers would be dis
charged as soon as their places could
be filled, sent nearly all the drivers OF
the Los Angeles Ice and Cold Storage
company out on a second strike yes
terday morning. 1t is not improbable
that the trouble may spread to other
companies.
On arriving at the plant yesterday
morning, after a refusal on the part
of the company to accede to their
demands to discharge the chief So
licitor and abandon the present sys-
tenn of inspection, the men refused to
work. The company was unable to
cope with this unexpected emergency
and only two of the wagons left at the
usual hour. Later in the day new

OPPOSES SCHOOL
. SYSTEM CHANGES
SUPT. MOORE SAYS PRESENT
PLAN IS BEST
BOARD OF EDUCATION HAS ABLE
MEN, HE ASSERTS
Declares He Shall Fight Proposed
Amendments as Menace to
Educational Interests
of State

Z. c. Moore, superintendent of the
city schools, is opposed to the two pro-
posed. constitutional amendments, reor-
ganizing the state board of education
and affecting the public school systems.
He told the City club yesterday that
the effect of the amendments would be
to weaken the school system of the
state.
For a number of reasons" said DR..
Moore, Il am strongly opposed to the
proposed constitutional amendment, re-
organizing the state board of education.
California has perhaps the best school
system in the United States, at least
from the standpoint of organization.
It is a state school system, and much
of it's superiority is due to the state
board of education.
1.-THE state board OF education hither-
to has been composed of the presidents
of the state university and the state
normal schools, together with the gov
ernor the state superintendent of pub
lie instruction and the professor OF ed
ucation in the state university 1t has
always been made up of the educationaI
leaders of the state, men who from the
very nature of their preparation and
their work, represented, and repre-
scented well, every interest of public ed
ucation. AS they are ex-officio MEM
bers of the state board their coming to
it has always been in dignified and
impersonal manner. They are not there
to represent special interests, but the
cause of education in California as a
whole They have done their work in
manner which is, I think, above re-
proach.
Now it is proposed to supersede this
board by another constituted in quite a
different way, and made up Of men of
quite different sort.
OF Different Sort
"There are men of superior upright
ness, education and school experience.
Men to equal them in point Of fitness
could not be found in the state.
1T am opposed to the last provision
of the amendment, which gives to coun-
ty boards and county superintendent
exclusive control of the examination of
teachers and the granting of certifi-
Gates. The state board should continue
to safeguard the high schools.
what is proposed is to substitute
for our present state board of educa-
ton, which has been a large factor in
making CALIFORNIA; educational system
the best in the country, cheaper and
poorer kind of school management. 1t
is proposed, and 1 am told on good
authority, by those who seek CONNER
cial advantage, to unite the bundle of
sticks which the state board has been,
and so destroy it's strength. The pro-
giving up the school system of Califor-
mia. 1 propose to fight 1t as a menace
to the education of the commonwealth"

Peanuts Attract Attention

Peanuts are another product that is
attracting great attention since p. j.
Carter, a new homeseeker, demonstrate
ed that Beaumont lands are splendidly
adapted to peanuts and that yield
of 5000 an acre is possible. By rotat-
ing from peanuts to onions, Carter
claims, two crops can be grown yearly.
thus increasing the yield to over $40O
an acre.
Over 100 apple pickers and all the
available teams in the valley are en-
gagged in harvesting the apple crop.
The planted area, which extends for
nearly nine miles to Oak glen, a part
of the valley at the head of Edgar can
yon, will be more than doubled by the
new orchards being planted this fall
in the Cherry Valley subdivisions.
Added interest in the Thursday and
Sunday excursions to Beaumont Is
shown by the recent heavy attendance,

seven persons, Riverside alone contrib
uting twenty-six to this number.

Queer Flying Machines.

Talking of flying machines" said
the French professor, Jacques do
Vaucanson invented in the eighteenth
century several flying machines. But
they were very little. You may read
all about them in D'Alembert and in
the Geographic Universelle. One was
a fly that would start from Vaucan-
sons hand, circle around room and
return to its starting point again. An
other was a pigeon that made circles
in the air Of 100 yards diameter.
"Vaucanson's automatons were in
credible. His best was duck. The
bird waddled about, and when it came
to grain, picked it up and swallowed
it. 1t muddied water with its beak as
ducks always do, quacked and swan.
He made snakes that hissed, swal-
lowed frogs, crawled on the ground
and coiled about your arm. All his
secrets died with him. Otherwise we'd
have been flying long ago"
