The site of the exposition takes ev-

harbor and hills that gives San Fran

lures Of the exposition will be located
at Harbor View, on San Francisco bay
midway between the ferry building
and the Golden Gate. and the perma-
nent buildings to remain after the ex-
position In over will be erected in the
west end of Golden Gate park, which
fronts on the Pacific ocean. These
sites and intermediate locations will be
connected by marine boulevard that
sweeps from Harbor View through the
Preside to the Golden Gate and then
turns south to Golden Gate park. A
trackless trolley will take visitors over
this magnificent scenic boulevard from
Harbor View through the military res

gram of events of world interest and
Importance in succession Of two
months apart, interspersed with lesser
events: Yacht and motorboat races
Of an international character for great
trophies and cash prizes; aviation
meets with the famous bird men of
the world; Olympic games. In which
the athletes of the world will take
part; Intercollegiate contests; automo-
bile races, in which the holders Of the
worlds records will participate in the
automobiles OF every nation: military
maneuvers, in which the crack cavalry
and infantry Of this and other nations
will participate upon an extended
scale. The location of the exposition
gives widest scope for the greatest in
ternational sports program in history
The auto races will pass into Golden

Coliseum seating 10000 people The
military maneuvers and Olympic games
will also be held in the Stadium. On
San Francisco bay motorboats will vie
for the worlds records before the Har-

yachtsmen will sail from Europe across
the Atlantic to New York and then
through the Panama canal to San
Francisco. Personal invitations will be
extended to the foreign rulers to at
tend the exposition if possible or to be
represented by their diplomatic repre-
sentatives in the royal yachts.
The concession and amusement fea
lures at the exposition will be among
the most striking and original ever dis

Eddy Baker, who bossed the Job
in his fathers absence when the An
tonic Lopez came ashore near Point
o. Woods two summers ago, and went
out to her with a scratch crew of cot
tagers and bay men, was once invited
to spend week in town with some of
these same cottagers, who had taken
a fancy to his strong, simple nature.
He was SO dismayed by the confusion

her from the sand bar:
I'D like to be aboard her." said a
man, wistfully, as he thought of the
long trip back to the city by boat and
train.
"Why?" asked young Baker. ITO
go to New York? Shucks! What do
you want to go there fort"
Some of the Lone Hill surfmen had
been standing around when Baker
made this remark and, afterward, in
the messroom of their station, just
after supper, and the sunset" patrol
had started out, the subject was
brought up again. They were mildly
amused by their visitors inclination
to return to New York and, finally,
Jim Reynolds, who, as he said him
self. had had more schooling than the
rest, was induced to frame the philos-
ophy of his mates in concrete phrases.

good for him. When You sit down to
eat with them you are expected to
forage for yourself. They take 1t for
granted that every one does that at
any table. Every man knows how to
reach for the condensed milk can, ae-
cording to the coast guards view
point. But If they once get 1t into
their heads that visitor is not far
ing properly they will make amends.
Any stranger who goes to a life-sav-
ing station and appears to be a decent
citizen can have board and lodging
and he isn't asked to pay, either. That
part of the bargain is left to himself
Even If he does pay he won't be al
lowed to tax himself more than the
cost price of everything. This is not
said unknowingly; it is a fact. The
itfe-savers of the Long Island coast
have code Of hospitality as rigid as
the American Indians.
They are of the purest American
stock. often with q strong vein of old
Dutch blood from the colony at West
Sayville. In most cases they have fol-
lowed the sea from father to son for
from four to six generations. One is
almost inclined to believe that they
are born leather-skinned and able to
pull the heavy fourteen-foot ash
sweeps that row the surfboats and
'self-bailers." Some of the Long
Island fishing families have estab-
ltshed enyiable regulations for them
selves in the service. Take the Rhodes
family, the Bakers, the Reynoldses,
the Raynors, the Seamans and many
others. They have all furnished at
least one hero.

, right. I can't see how anybody likes
to live in the city. Why, think of the
breakers and the fights we have with
them. Do you have anything like that
in the city? No, sir; I guess not"
The fact is, these men do not mind
the dangers and privations they I'M
dergo. They are nerveless, or prac-
tically so. They are not wholly ig-
norant Of fear; they realize it in grad
uated degrees. Men like Captain God
dard of Lone Hill or the Bakers OF
Point O. Woods have reduced the ap-
prehension of danger to a minimum.

Sunday. They were absorbed, espe-

chickens.

"Oh, no. it isn't wicked" objected
Miss Thung.

Margaret. But chickens are not like
