as il is ephemeral And after the es-
pecially trying and saddenlng times of
the war a playtime and a playground

In order to mark the mOmentous

clouds of war, the State Fair manage

twenty attractions gathered under the
banners of the World at Home were
CLEANED from many parts of the globe
and bring TO the Fair visitors the
wonders and amusements of foreign
lands.
One feature which the crowds will
find wildly alluring and spectacularly
beautiful is the exhibition called "The

In the spray.
Another attraction of aqueous type
IS the sensational performance Of the

WAR BALLOON EXHIBITION
PROMISES THRILLS AT FAIR

The Kentucky State Fair manage
ment Is unable to state definitely as
yet that an exhibition of balloon
flights and parachute drops will be an
unprecedented attraction at the Ken
lucky State Fair the week Of Septem-
Der S-18, but there Is every indication
that the Government will sanction the
showing which will be one of the most
interesting the Fair has ever pre-
sented
1t Is the plan and plea Of the State
Fair management that the 31st u. 8.
Balloon Company be stationed on the
grounds during the Fair and II this
request Is granted the entire company
win figure In balloon ascensions, para
chute drops and balloon flights which
will give sensational illustration of
wartime maneuvers In the air.
Among the "sky vessels" will be the
great Sausage Balloons" used In OBJ
seTvation work during the war. and the
dirigible balloon will also be an at
traction Of unusual interest by reason
Of the fact that there are few pilots In
civilian life who can manage them and
they are therefore seldom on exhlbi-
ton. Public attention will center on
this balloon It Is said, by reason OF
their enormous size and their adapta
biiity to maneuvering. bombing. etc.
But the attention and interest Of the
crowds will undoubtedly center on the
mammoth captive balloons In which
passengers may daily soar cloudwart
and thereby gather some idea In ad
vance Of the method Of travel pre-
dicted as common carrier in the neal
future
