The author Of "Curfew Shall Not

ton for the exposition. Mrs. Thorpe
who now lives In san Diego and who
Is engaged in writing a novel, sent
the following charming verse to Presi-
dent G. A. Davidson, OF the exposition,
a few days ago.
A dream city on the hills Of Balboa
A yine-coyered city of magical art
Her flower gemmed garments OF
emerald splendor
sprang lush from the fount OF
Earth's generous heart.
She sits like queen on her high
throne OF beauty
Her glance reaching for the west
and the east
On the sun-crowned mesa her banquet
is waiting
She graciously beckons the world
to the feast.

feet and is at the head of the lsthmus.
This great display will have the ad-
vantage OF an entire building.
The state OF Washington will MAIN
tain exhibits at the exposition and
the recent sale Of the 1915 building to
a San Riego society has been revoked.
Although the Washington commission
had several thousand dollars left from
the 1915 exposition appropriation
there was no legal way to use it ex-
cept by calling a special session OF
the legislature. After the announce
ment Of Washington's withdrawal
from the 1916 exposition, the COM
mercial clubs and civic organizations
in the state subscribed enough money
to maintain the building and exhibits.
Many new features are being added.
Every exposition from the beginning
has had its flag. At the opening of the
second year of San Diego's big enter
prise, the addition of sixteen foreign
nations brought to the notice Of the
directors that there was no exposition

which will prevent the Panama-Cali-

The dedication Of San Diegos ex-

on New Years day, but the two months
