Exposition will list and indorse hotels and restaurants that may be relied upon not to increase rates and prices. and the Travellers Aid will do every thing else that will make for the com. fort and general welfare of the travel CT. This combination of big forces will mean peace of mind for every one who makes the pilgrimage to the isiS Ex- position.
 Travellers Aid work. in conjunction with the woman's Board. will mean that a traveller may come from any part of the world and ge to any ceun- ty of this vast state protected at all times by the agencies of the Travel CTS Aid. It will mean that any meth CT who cannot accompany her daugh- ter may trust her to travel alone to San Francisco or any part of Califor- mia It will mean that this girl will be met and protected upon her arrival: will be directed to a home. where she may be safe and comfortable.
 While thoughts of protection first 70 to the girl travelling alone. the same protection and guidance will be given as freely and fully to young men In fact. Travellers Aid would be a failure if its help and protection were not ac- corded every traveller.
 A particularly interesting channel for women proficient along special lines has been made by the appointments of assistants in the great departments of the Exposition.
 The appointments already made along these lines include Mrs. Francis Carolan. an assistant to John EL ID. Trask in the Department of Fine Arts: Mrs. Ernest s. Simpson. assistant to George Hough Perry in the Division of i Exploitation; Mrs. William Grant of Vacaville. assistant to D. O. Lively in the Department of Live Stock; MrM Herbert Hoover. assistant to Charles E. Van Arneveld in the Department of Mines and Metallurgy: Miss Katherine Felton. Miss Alice Grinith and Mrs. William Kent, assistant to Alvin Pope, director of the Department of Social | Science. A committee on architecture has been in consultation with George W. Kellum of the Architectural Com mission in the planning of the Califor- mia Host Building.
 Quite logically. women will be ap- pointed on juries of awards. where their knowledge and experience win make their service of distinct value. The Woman's Board is already listing women with technical knowledge, 60 that they may have the best possible material to present for this important | work.
 The woman's Board through its ff- | ty-eight auxiliaries is establishing an educational propaganda for the school children. "Lecturettes," now in course
 of preparation, are to be presented one a week-in the schools. so that the 1 children who come to the Exposition will have an intelligent and profitable outlook, and also so that those who wili not have that opportunity may get something worth while from that great
 world university. the Exposition. A great variety of activities are con-
 stantly being handled by the woman's
 Board, the most important of which in | the assistance given to the Pioneer
 Mother Monument Association. organ
 ized to erect a monument to mother hood and dedicated to the pioneer wo-
 men of California This important group is now in the hands of Charles | Crafty. the Philadelphia sculptor. it
 will occupy the central position in the Palace of Fine Arts and at the conciu- sion of the Exposition will become the property of the city of San Francisco and will be placed in the Civic Center. For the past two years and during the ten months of the Exposition from
 Feb 2l to Dec. the woman's Board. 1 assisted by it's auxiliary members. will be most vitally concerned with the so- cial life of the Exposition. Along this line during the preparatory months much delightful service of this kind In "a ~ the womans Board entertained the women who came with commtssionA. but the spirit of cooperation soon dominated this situation. When Gee retary Bryan carne to California tha banquet in his honor was attended by men as we'll as women. This innova- tion was so signally successful that the Exposition directorate will never TO back to the old way. When Secretary and Mrs. Knox were in San Francisco the change had rot been made. Usage sent men to hsnquets and the women entertained themselves an best they could. It was a handsome dinner the women gave in honor of MrR Knoxs but it would have been infinitely better if the dinner tables had joined TnE dinner in honor of Secretary ana Mrs Daniels was given under the new die pensation. So in all work and ir l play connected with the Expesitiod there will be no separation Of iatev. ests.
 The womsn's Board realizes that tne great responsibilities of the Exposition rest upon the men. but they stand ever ready to help and never 70 hsnds'.
