SAN DIEGO, March lS.-There were
$4,000 visitors on opening day (March
lS), at the Pan. Pacific building at the
san Diego exposition and as the Hawa-
iiau section adjoined the main entrance
the exhibit there was the first TO at
tract the eye; and next to that was
the magnificent and wonderful exhibit
Of the Philippines section, which takes
up one third of the building and is an
example TO Hawaii that Is going to be
followed if the Pan.Paciic workers
have to sit up nights making plans and
carrying them through.
-Four days before the exposition open
ell the interior of the Pan-Pacific build
ing was about as splendid a representa-
ton of chaos as was ever my delight
TO gaze upon. All orders had been dis
obeyed and the booths were built in
varying heights and the superstructures
~ some eases from the old exposition had
not been removed. That of Hawaii was
a suporstrueture of heavy columns and
cross beams two feet in diameter, and
Lcsides this there was a wall twelve
feet high and the whole place was cut
UP into little compartments. If ever a
Cvelone was needed TO clean things out
II was needed here and the cyclone hit
the interior of the Pan-Pacifc building
about thirty-fve minutes after / got
there and an hour later scores of car
Tnnters were at work tearing things to
pieces, pulling down superstructures,
wreeking booths, while did the argu-
ing with the space holders, and after all
the eloquenee ! could command con
WINGED them that this was a Pan-Paci-
fc exhibit and that the Pan Pacific idea
was that everyone should work for his
neighbor rather than for himself.
Change Makes Improvement
Ky They dim Z see it at FIRST but when
the heavy beams of the Hawaiian sec
ton began to come down and they
found that their exhibits would be seen
from every part of the building they
gave me the glad hand and their hear V
Welcome and from that moment the
workers in the Pan-Pacife building
were friends and supporters Of each 9TH
or. II was an expensive job taking out
the great superstTucture over the Hal
vaii space but this was assumed by the
Pan.Pacifc . Club and additional space
given Hawaii; in fact the most attract
i've of the whole exhibit is now that adj
ded space against one of the side walls
where the great Hawaiian flag, fifty by
twenty feet, IL hung. On the wall and
in the center of this is Hitchcock q
great painting Of Hanalei Bay, while Oh
the side walls is Lionel Walden 3 paint
ing Of the surf riders which took gold
medal from the Paris Salon and around
this are other paintings from the brush
of Hitchcock. 1t makes a beautiful picl
ture gallery for Hawaii and as there
