BISMARCK RED
CROSS SEAL DAY
BIC SUCCESS
Two Hundred Seventeen Dollars
Received from Sale of the
Tiny Xmas Stamps.
21700 STICKERS
SOLD BY LADIES

Bismarck's Red Cross Seal Day
closed in a grand triumph for the
ladies who had the matter in charge.
The returns for their efforts in the
work of prevention of tuberculosis
we're highly satisfactory. The sales of
Red Cross Seals amounted to $217.
Seal Salesmen Successful.
Seals to right of them, seals to left
Of them, seals in front of and all
around them is the picture that the
Red Cross Nurses presented when
they took up the work of disposing of
the pretty little Christmas stamps.
Everywhere the people contributed
literally to the fund for the preven-
ton of tuberculosis and when the to-
tails for Bismarck Day were received,
everyone who had anything to do with
the work, felt so highly elated that as
one lady said, hardly knew how to
control herself or just how to say
how pleased she was with the results
of the day."
Pennies Make Dollars.
Here and there child would slowly
and hesitatingly walk up to the sales
women and buy a penny's worth of
seals. Then would come some older
people who would take a nickers
worth. Others somewhat older would
take ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five
or fifty cents worth Of the little tok-
ems CT good will, and thus the pennies
and other coins rolled in until the
little nile Of coins grew into dollars

s5eo,ooo0to had been allowed for main
tenance.e sgeva
IA .r,,e,oAttendance Good.
The exposition attendance was be-.
yound, all. hopes of the management,
especially, after the outbreak OF the
war. when when for a time there was
talk of 4postponement of the opening
date. On a daily average the attend
ance has been more than $4,000. With
in twelve days after February 20,
100000 persons passed through the
gates. The 100000 mark was reach.
ed November 10.
San Francisco's exposition in every
particular was an exposition OF pro-
gress. All exhibits entered for award
were contemporaneous articles origi-
mated or produced since the St. Louis
exposition ten years ago.
In the general color scheme it was
different from any effect ever attempt
ed on so large a scale. The night H.
Elimination, with subdued lights every
where, reflected on the buildings also
was unique. Many experts, and art
lists, among them Thomas A. Edison,
declared the night scene the most en-.
trancing display of light effects they
ever had seen.
To carry out his idea of colors for
the exposition palaces, Jules Guerin,
director Of color, took into considera.
ton the climatic and atmospheric
conditions found in San Francisco
near the Golden Gate and worked in
warm colors in an imitation of traver-
tine marble. This marble was much
used in Roman palaces of the August
an period and it gave Guerin what has
been described as pinkish-gray-buff
surface which carried suggestion of
warmth. This shaded off into reddish
brown sometimes, and yellow-golden-
orange was used extensively in en-
riching it and working out lights and
shadows. Oxidized-copper-green,. for
domes and lattices, cerulean blue for
ceilings of courts, and burnt orange
for small domes and mouldings gave
an Oriental richness to the exposi.
tion, but the whole scheme was soft
and alluring. Excepting perhaps one
tower, which was generally deplored
by architects, including, it was said,
the designer there was nothing any.
where to dazzle or blaze. .%t H.

San Francisco, Dec. 4.-The Pana-
ma-Pacific international exposition
closed tonight Hundreds Of thous-
ands of incandescent lights twinkled
and trembled the farewell signal a
few minutes before midnight and at
twelve O. clock the lights went out for
the last time. The exposition OF 2S8
days duration officially was at an end;
though the farewell carnival contin-
ued in the morning hours.
With the extinguishing of the cleo
trio lights there was flash in the
sky OF thousands of rockets, bombs
and star Shells More than half a ton
of powder was used to hurl them into
the air, making salvo which w. D'A.
Ryan, the director of illumination,
said, was the heaviest and most elab.
crate pyrotechnic display ever at.
tempted.
Hundreds Of Lights.
Hundreds of searchlights which had
pointed to the art of the sculptor and
shone on the Tower of Jewels and the
domes and minarets each night since
February 20, when the exposition be-
gan, were also dimmed in the closing
moments and for thirty seconds the
635 eacres of exposition grounds were
in total darkness. Then patrol lights
here and there along the avenues and
byways and in the courts began TO
glow so that the thousands of merry
makers could make their way about.
Throngs remained to go on with the
dances in the open spaces and in the
courts and to wander about the
grounds in the farewell festivities.
The carnival spirit prevailed, in
keeping with the decree of President
Charles C. Moore and the exposition
directors, who said: LET there be
cheers instead of tears. The exposi-
ton has been a success"
In financial way it is expected the
exposition will show profit of some.
thing like neutrality-suspicious. more.
All Indebtedness was paid before the
exposition was two.thirds over. The
expense of preparing the site and the
buildings for the opening date was
said to be approximately $50,00O,00O.
There was not federal appropriation
for the undertaking, although the var.
ious departments of the United States
government made displays for which
