IL j THE cages
Of THE EARTH
TO BE SHOWN.
In Unique Archaeological
Exhibit at the San Diego
Exposition.

SANTA FE. N. NJ, April p
hcla1s Of the Worlds Exposition to
be held in san Diego. Calf, In 1915
have Just entered into an agreement
with the American Institute Of
Archaeology which will enable them
to successfully carry out their inten-
tlon Of presenting to the world the
first attempt to show the progress
of man from the prehistoric times
down through the ages to the pres
ent.
Or. Edgar L. Hewett, managing
director of the institute, who is now
here, will undertake the gathering
and installation of the races Of the
earth. He viii accompany Presi-
dent D. C. Collier of the San Diego
exposition to the site OF the expo
sition previous to his next trip to-
Central America, where his field ex-
perts are now gathering relics or
prehistoric races.
Something different" is what
San Diego has promised the world
for 1915. The completion Of the
Panama canal, the greatest Ameri-
can enterprise, will be celebrated in
! many lands and in many ways; but
nowhere else in so original or so
Tasting fashion. In business and in
science, it is new record already,
In the history of expositions there
+ has been no such timely prepara-
tions. More than three years be-
fore opening time, San Diego has
her exposition financed-not a string
on dollar Of it, no debts, no mort
cages on the gate-money. Her
4 1,400-acre park, particularly adapted
to the purpose, is being arranged by
the foremost landscape gardeners in
America. The best architects have
E made the building plans. The off,
GERS are in the saddle, and the whole
population backing them. Nearly
twice as much money is in bank to-
day as the Seattle exposition had cost
when the receipts had redeemed 1t
in the last days. The San. Diego ex-
position will not only be open on the
3 first day-it will be ready.

The general scope of the San
Diego exposition will be great and
logical object-lesson in the whole de-
velopment of man and his indus
tries in the New World, from saw
agery up to San Diego in 1915.
Every phase of human life will be
shown from its crudest inception on

know the adopted plans that this
will be, for men, women and chill

The active president, Colonel D.
C. Collier. has several million dol
lars and solid San Diego bank at
his back. The Oldest city on the
Pacific coast has pledged itself to a
work worthy of the occasion.
