THE exhibit was set up in the form of a half
circle, 135 feet long and 90 feet deep There
were eight inches which showed the evolution of
preSent-day cooperation between the peoples
of the world in art, industry, transportation,
commerce finance, health and sports.
These inches were separated by pillars Of
black and gold corrugated iron. The center
space was used for the motion picture, Times
Have Changed" written by Miss Watson.
On either side of the semi-crcle were enor-
NOUS Illustrated maps by James Daugherty,
the noted illustrator. One map showed the
ancient world and the other the world of today
Twelve marginal pictures around the first map
illustrated the life of primitive man and his
gradual control of his environment chiefly
through individual effort. The marginal pic
lures around the second map showed civilized
life OF today. with the benefits that result from
modern inventions that have brought the world
closer together.
Several motion pictures which have been
loaned to the exhibit also were shown Among
them were The Making of Newspaper" "'The
World Makes Motor Car and THE Evolu-
ton of Transportation"
Miss Watson, who is we'll known in Wash
1ngton for the exhibits she made during the
war for the Food Administration was assisted
oy Chinese architect, Benjamin Chen, who
mas just been appointed to the chair Of archi-
lecture in Northeastern University China.

were pictures of cotton fields and coffee planta-
tons tobacco wheat and corn fields, together
with pictures of workers In mills, steel works
and mines. Stills taken from the film, Times
Have Changed" showed workers In the rice field
of Japan silk raising in the Orient and rubber
getting in South America and Africa.
THE fifth niche was devoted to the develop
ment of weather bureaus as q result of
increased transportation and commerce.
The center panel of this niche was large
map of the world, showing the weather bureau
sections. 1t depicted the North Atlantic storm
of early January Of this year-the storm in
which Capt. Fried went to the rescue OF the
italian steamship Vestris. The side panel
consisted of Capt. Frieds log and pictures of
the ships of different nations that went to
the Vestris rescue.
On the other side of the niche was illustrated
the rescue of Mobile, with all the airplanes
and the Russian ship that went to the rescue
of that expedition
On the lower part of the same panel was
shown the thrilling race of the dog Sleds which
carried anti-toxin into Nome when that city
was in the grip of an epidemic of influenza.
The captions tell the story Of this romantic
rescue and point out how the drivers of the
dog sleds depended entirely upon weather re-
formation as to storm sections. Without this
cooperation thousands of residents Of Nome
would have persisted.
Under the big chart on the center panel was
list of the nations that are working together,
keeping weather bureau records, etc. In con-
nection with this are two little aerias, in the
center of which flash S. O. S. signals in tiny
electric lights. In front of this niche was a
modern telephone, telegraph instrument and
q mail bag or post box
Storm-f1ag signals were used in connection
with this niche, and arrangements were made
for weather bureau reports every day in this
section of the exhibit.
The sixth niche was devoted to international
health. AS increased methods of tranSporta-
ton brought increased danger Of disease and
epidemics, they also brought international CO.
operation for the prevention of disease. Pic
lures and captions showed how scientists OF
every nation have worked to prevent epidemics
and to raise the standards Of health all over the
globe.
The captions here told also Of the internal
tional exchange Of ideas, knowledge and studies
which have resulted in the organization Of in
ternational medical societies and other inter-
national clubs and associations for many pur-
poses. One of these panels showed, as the first
international club. picture Of Nomads in an
oasis of the desert with their caravans of
camels in the background.
The right-hand panel depicted the Prince
Henry of Portugal School Of Navigation in
Lisbon to which sailors Of every country were
welcome to come and stay as long as they
wished.
THE interdependence Of art was shown In
niche seven. This illustrated how art de-
signs of many sorts have come from the Orient
and crossed over into the Mediterranean coun-
tries, from there to Europe and the Western

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-06

heaving rocks at the other fellow
doesn't get him half as much as
heaving rocks with him. Such in
brief is the idea back of an unusual exhibit
sponsored by American women and shown in
Geneva.
According to the designer Of the exhibit,
Miss Elizabeth c. Watson of New York. who
gathered material in Washington, the germ
of cooperation existed in the days when
you were a tadpole and 1 was a fish"
The caveman really didn't want to heave
rocks. He only thought he had to in
order to survive. Whether he wanted to or
not, it hasn't taken his descendants long
looking at the history of mankind through the
proper glasses to give the true perspective on
his action-to find out that cooperation pays.
The exhibit, which is the first ever projected
20 illustrate on a large scale the interdepend-
ence of the peoples of the world, was founded
by Mrs. Theodore F. Andrae of Milwaukee.
The committee which sponsored the plan in
cludes noted educators from all parts of the
United States, together with other men and
women we'll known for their interest in inter-
national affairs.
The great PalaiS DIES Expositions in Geneva
housed the exhibit during the Congress of the
World Federation of Education Associations
On its return to this country it is expected
that it will be established permanently in New
York or Washington. Plans for this. however
have not been completed. as building would
have to be erected for the purpose. In the
meantime. it will serve as a source for travel
ing exhibits which will be sent to number
of cities i'll the United States which have al
