MONSTER SCREEN AT
METHODIST CENTENARY
Special Lantern Devised For
Throwing Pictures.

Finishing details are being placed
on the arrangements for the erection
of the largest screen for the projec-
ton of pictures ever built in the
world. This is to be one of the fea-
lures of the Methodist Centenary Gel.
ebration, to be held in Columbus.
June 20 to July 13.
This monster screen will have q
surface for pictures 115x115 feet. The
actual structure will be several feet
larger in each direction. A special
lantern has been successfully devised
for throwing these tremendous pic
lures the necessary distance. The
screen will be $50 feet from the near
est spectator and will be built to
Withstand 40 pounds pressure to the
project these pictures has already
successfully thrown pictures on q
screen in New York City across q
distance of four and half city
blocks. According to Architect Harry
C. Holbrook, the screen will be, in
effect, three sides of q house. 1t is
necessary to give it the foundations
equivalent to four-story building.
In order that there may be as much
salvage as possible after the screen
has served its purpose, the picture
face will be of fitted lumber, which
later will be treated with . white
surface preparation.
The estimated cost of this screen.
will be $4,000. The screen and the
lantern will be used in showing the
tens of thousands of views, made all
over the world by the Methodist
Missionary Survey. which has the
finest collection of pictorial reviews
anywhere in the world.

REDUCED FARE
ADDS INTEREST
Visitors to Methodist Centenary
to Be Well Cared For.
REGISTRATIONS ON INCREASE

Housing Committee Of the Celebration
Have More Than Forty Thousand
Rooms In Private Homes at Their
Disposal, Where Those VINO Attend
Can Be Lodged as conviently as
at a Hotel.
Announcement by the government
that a special low rate of one and q
third fares for the round trip has
been authorized for the celebration,
Columbus. o.. June 20 to July 10, has
tremendously increased the interest
In that event and advanced manifold
the inquiries and registrations COM
Ing from all parts of the United
States. At headquarters the other
day a single mail brought cash reg
istrations from IA separate states and
South America.
The low rate has increased work
for the special committees, which
are responsible for housing the large
influx of visitors now seen to be GER
tain. Accommodations fall into three
classes:
First, the hotels, which have an
average daily capacity Of 5000 Wis
itors.
The second field OF accommodation
will be in public buildings, which have
been specially fitted up for this sort
of service for the celebration. These
include the State School for the Blind,
the State School for the Deaf, the
large barracks which were provided
ut Ohio State university for the stu
dent army training corps, and other
buildings Of similar nature held in
reserve should the throng exceed
even present generous expectations.
The third line of convenience for
the hospitality of Columbus is in the
homes of the citizens themselves.
More than 10000 rooms have been
listed with the housing committee,
and these are card indexed by loca-
ton, telephone number and best
means of access. Visitors to the Gel
ebration can be lodged as convent
emily as clerk at a hotel assigns a
visitor to his room. In order that
there might be no misunderstanding,
the committee in charge has q upi-
form rate for accommodations in pr
vate dwellings,. The charge will be
