TEN MILLIONS SPENT
BY FAIR EXHIBITORS
Additional Millions Expended for
Enterprises From Which Man
agement Gets No Revenue.

Exhibitors and concessionaires spent
S9,500,000 for new construction and
for exhibit and concessions space in
the new Worlds Fair which is now
open in Chicago.
This amount does not include sew
eral millions of dollars spent for re-
modelling and repairing, salaries and
other miscellaneous expenses, which
involves no revenue to the fair itself
The fair has obtained revenue in
addition to the sale of space through
the advance sale of souvenir tickets
A few days before the fair reopened
$685. ,o42 had been sold, which is be-
lieved to be an advance record for
all kinds of expositions or amuse-
ment enterprises.
New expenditures by exhibitors
amount to approximately $6,700, 900
Concessionaires have contracted to
spend 100000 with the fair fol
franchises, of which almost $500, ,00C
has been received.
Classified as concessions, the Il
new foreign villages ranged in con-
struction cost from $175,000 to s225,
900. Construction of new restaurants
and stands totals 100000. Conces-
sionaires of the new Beach Midway
on Northerly Island pay about $780,
900, collectively. for their privileges
but their construction costs have
been comparatively low.

new SHIP TO HAVE
30.FOOT TUNNELS
Stacks of 1884" Will Be Larger
Than Holland Tube or Har.
lem River Tunnel.

The enormous size Of the tunnels to
be placed on the new super -Cunarder,
now designated as the 1884" in the
Clydebank shipyard, Glasgow, may be
visualiZed when compared with the
various tubes and tunnels in operation
in New York City. The giant liners
stacks will be in the neighborhood Of
100 feet in circumference. The diam
eter will be approximately 80 feet.
Thus it will be greater than any OF
the following:
Holland Tube, 20 feet inches;
Pennsylvania r. r. Tubes, % feet;
East River Tubes, % feet; New York
Central Tunnel, Is feet; Harlem River
Tunnel, Is feet inches; Sixtieth
Street Tunnel. 18 feet.
The forward funnel will be more
than 10 feet in height from the boat
deck, the two other tunnels decreasing
in height. From the keel to the top
of the forward funnel will be approx
imately ls0 feet, equivalent in height
to building of Is stories. The final
design of the tunnels was reached
after many demonstrations in spe-
cially constructed wind tunnel. More
than 80 model tunnels were tested.

TREES AND HILLS
M|CH|GAN'S LURE
Vacationist Can Find Ideal
Spots for Outdoor Rec
reation.

The State motto of Michigan prom
ises: "If you are seeking a beautiful
peninsula, look about you" Thus it
impressed those who went to Michigan
Territory when it was cut out from
the Great Northwest Territory, and
so it still remains.
That Michigan is a peninsula per-
haps is not always at once realized.
Actually 1t Is two peninsulas, the low
er-which is the original State, and
the upper peninsula, cut of by parts
of Lakes Michigan and Huron and
the Straits of Mackinac.
And the upper peninsula today is
the States best playground-for those
who want superb fishing, hunting in
the Fall, wild territory to explore and
camp In.
AS a matter of fact, with the excep-
ton of a few counties in the upper
central portion of the lower penin-
sula, there isn't county in the State
that doesn't have a half a dozen at
fractions for the vacationist. The
few excepted counties are unattractive
because they were stripped of their
beauty-the white pine forests which
once rolled for leagues over the sand
ridges. Today the ridges are there
but covered only with jack pine, a
scrubby growth.
Lakes Crown State.
Some Of the lands, fortunately most,
which were stripped of the white
pines, have come back" in second
growth hardwoods. And the State
today is spending all 1t can to re-
clothe the rest.
Michigan's crown is her lakes
Great Lakes and small inland lakes
ranging from little more than ponds
to large bodies of water. Hardly Sec
ton of the State lacks for them, and
in one county. Oakland. Just north OF
Detroit, there are more than 400 OF
these inland lakes, now too built up
with Summer homes to afford the
traveller much camping.
The Great Lakes need no descrip-
ton. Their waters wash In tousands

Michigan is rich in the public do

dozens of them all over the State, and

LIGHTHOUSE DUTY
LETS SAILOR READ
4,5O0 Employees of Service
Find Libraries Boon When
They're Isolated.

NEW YORK R.-Landlubbers
aren't the only ones who enjoy thrill
ing stories of the sea. Sailors them
selves show a liking for salty books.
A sailors life apparently allows
considerable time for reading Last
year the American Merchant Marine
Library Association. under the direc-
ton of Mrs Henry Howard. president,
sent 263 500 books and 160, 500 maga-
zines to American ships and light
houses.
Just how many were sea tales has
not been recorded, but there was an
abundance of them.
When sailors get to port they ex-
change their travelling library of
about 10 books for a new selection
made up in one of the associations
branches-New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore. New Orleans, San
Francisco or Seattle.
Lighthouse Libraries.
Perhaps the most appreciative "cus-
toners" are the more than $500
employees of the Federal Lighthouse
Service. many of them cut of from
civilization for weeks at time while
tending navigation markers.
Some tales they tell Of their adven-
lures would curl the binding of any
book. Letters to the association in
New York often ask for books on
ships and the sea, and in the same
letter the writer's tell of hair-raising
happenings which to them are part
of the daily routine.
One of the most dangerous stations
and one which receives its regular
quota of books-is Nantucket Shoals
Lightship. Anchored about 200 miles
from New York, it marks the ap-
proach through the shoals to Eastern
harbors, with the aid of lights, fog
signals, radio and underwater direc-
tional guides. Most ships steer di-
rectly toward the lightship, and in
January the steamer Manhattan side
swiped it.
Nantucket Smashed.
More recently the Olympic bore
down on the lightship in heavy
fog and crunched through it. Seven
men lost their lives as the lightship
sank.
Collision Is not rare in the service.
THE lightships on Cross Rip sta
tion, in the middle of Nantucket
Sound. have a remarkable record,
writes Commissioner George r. Put
nam of the United States Lighthouse
Service. In the Winter of 1901-02
the ship was struck four times by
barges and schooners, and there are
numerous reports of vessels colliding
with the hghtships at Pollock Rip
Slue and the sounds"
But storm and fog, narrow escapes
and continual danger apparently don't
appease the appetites of these sailors
for excitement. They still like to read
books including books about
the sea.

SULU PRINCESS
GETS HUBBY
FROM JAIL

MANILA, P. l., Jan. 5 QNS)
Life has become more compli-
Gated for Princess Tarhata XII
ram, niece of the Sultan of Sulu,
who received her education at
the University Of Chicago and
then returned to Jolo to blacken
her teeth and "go native" with
a vengeance.
For Daju Tahil, Tarhata's hus-
band, has been released from
Jail and is back in Jolo.
The complication arises from
the fact that during Tahil's six
year prison term his wife has
made herself the "First Lady" of
Sulu, and how this will fit in
with her husbands plans is a
question that aroused Keenest in
terest in Manila.
Staged Baby Rebellion
In 1925 Datu Tahil, whose Moro
pride had been aroused by the
efforts of the Philippine govern
ment to collect taxes from his
henchmen, rose up in his wrath
and staged a baby rebellion
against the government.
When the constabulary were
sent out to get the Datu, he re-
tired to a heavily armed Gotta,
taking Princess Tarhata along
with him in the approved Mo-
hammedan custom.
Only recently returned from
the University of Chicago, Tar
hata showed every desire to die
at the side of her husband.
The conflict was a sanguinary
one, but Tahil and Tarhata es-
capped. Later, when Tahil fell
into the tolls of the law, Tarhata
did everything in her power to
save him from a Jail sentence.
But her efforts were in vain, and
early in 1927 the Datu began to
serve a term of nearly II years
for sedition and murder.
She Didn't Brood Long
A wife without husband, Tar
hata didn't brood long over her
loss. She soon eSconced herself
in the native government.
Tahil proved model prisoner.
Due to good behavior, as well as
changes in the law setting forth
the punishments for the crimes
which he had committed, Tahil
would have been released next
June. Governor General Murphy
cut short his term by paroling
him.
