The Ford Bowl at San Diego is
built in a natural amphitheatre on
the side of a canyon in Balboa
Park, which provides the grounds
for the Exposition. The orchestra
she'll was specially designed acousti-
cally for symphonic music, and ex-
perts consider it superior even TO
the famous Hollywood Bowl. Seats
for the audience are on a con-
crete foundation built into the
sloping side of the canyon.
Ford Exposition
Across the road from the Bowl
is the mammoth Ford Exposition
itself, housed in a permanent build
ing of steel and concrete. The
building, designed by Walter Dor
win league, is a blend of modern
and Spanish architecture and is
placed on the highest point of land
in Balboa Park, overlooking the
city Of San Diego and the bay be-
yond. Facing the road, the build
ing has a rotunda 80 feet in height
which serves as an entrance hall
to the exhibit space. Branching out
from the rotunda on each side is
the main building, circular in shape
and $40 feet in diameter, with walls
40 feet high. Around the corri-
dors in this building will be housed
the exhibits showing the actual
manufacture of Ford parts, testing
operations and other operations
contributing to the manufacture of
automobiles. In the center of the
building is a great patio.
On the opposite side of the main
building from the Bowl are the
Roads of the Pacific, a 3000-foot
driveway built around the sides of
a canyon with its surface composed
OF repicas of famous roads and
trails OF the Pacific countries. Visi-
tors to the Ford Exposition will
ride over these unique reproductions
Of ancient roads in modern auto
mobiles.

FAMOUS COMEDIAN WOULD TAKE
RECKLESS DRIVERS OFF ROADS

In the following article. written

drive fast and says he would keep
such offenders off the read. The
article is presented by the Imperial

It's so easy t5 break the speed

until then can we hope for reheI

Of tragedies that happen annually

Personally. T6 rather take my

you've got q chance TO reason with

LONG ABANOONS
HIS CRU S 4 . E
ON G 4 NJ BLING G

NEW ORLEANS, May 80. Up
HIS political purposes apparently
accomplished. Sen. Huey Long to-
day ended his crusade against
gambling in New orleans. Jeffer-
son and st. Bernard parishes.
IN a three hour radio address
last night he said The people
seem to want gambling. so let EN-
gamble. I did my part. I tried
my damndest to stop gambling,
but now I'm ready TO turn the job
over to anybody who wants it.
Political observers said the real
reason behind the announcement
was that political pressure had
been exerted in jefferson and St.
Bernard parishes, where gambling
for years has been one of the
main sources of income. These
parishes vote almost solidly for
Long.
Another report was that a group
OF Longs followers were forming g
syndicate to take over gambling
in New Orleans.

the United States smallest national
cemetery at old Fort Crawford near

Wisconsin's Indian war days a cen

Veterans Of later wars, members
Of patriotic and civic organizations,
and school children marched down
Beaumont road, named for Dr..
william Beaumont, Fort physician
who discovered the action of stom-
ach gastric juices in treating a
wounded frontiersman, to the grassy
Indian mound-dotted Fort Craw-
lord Military cemetery.
At the small group Of rectangu-
lar stone markers on the highest
Indian mound over the graves OF
prominent officers and their wives
who died at this lonely military
outpost between 1914 and 1856,
Prairie du Chen honored its dead.
In the small cemetery lie officer
comrades Of Major Zachary Taylor,
early Fort Crawford commander,
who was later President Of the
United States. It was at Fort CraW-
ford That Taylor's daughter was
courted by jefferson Davis, later
president Of the confederate states.

Ten weeks Of symphonic music

ministratiYe force which broke the
legislative budget deadlock was
primed today TO speed consideration
of revenue measures and hurry
through the routine file, aiming at
adjournment by June 9.
Epic Democrats and their few
Republican supporters, defeated n
their attempt to delay budget ap-
proval indefinitely, admitted there
was no further use trying to stop
the majority movement.
From now on the bills will sail
through here fast, said Assembly
man Charles A. Hunt, fiery Los
Angeles Democrat. I'VE can't stop
EN-. Administration pressure will
descend plenty: oratious will be cut
short. What the he'll? I'm ready to
go home, anyway
He expressed the attitude OF
many asselnblymen VINO have tired
Of the record length session and the
constant pickering on controversial
measures. Efforts TO declare this
holiday were rcpulsed.
They're getting fed up on it, .

the fight Tor approval of the 1882
OO0,0O0 budget bill. Wen move

The Epic c-Democrat VS.. admins
tration deadlock was broken late
yesterday when Assemblymen Ernest
c. Crowley Suisun, and Patrick j.
McMurray, San Francisco, changed
their votes to the AYE" column and
gave the budget bill the required "a
votes, or two-thirds majority. The
final count was 54 to %, as COM
pared with the Monday blockade
vote OF 50 to g. Three of the
minority were absent when the
crucial roll was called.
Victory of The majority forces was
accredited, publicly, to the threat
Of trimming S10,700,000 from the
budget and causing state hospitals,
asyluns, home for the blind and
University of California to suffer,
McMurray Avoids spot
McAIulray said he did not believe
the reduction would have been per
mitted, but he recognized the pos
sibility and did not want anyone
to point at him ana say: You were
responsible for bringing hardship
to our hospitals; for deprivlng the
blind of necessary accommoda-
tiCnS."
Assembly approval sent the bud
get bill to the senate, where 1t was
expected to be adopted without
major trouble. AS soon as it is
signed by Governor Frank F.. Mer-
ram. the way will be cleared for
final consideration OF minor appro-
rriations bills on which action can
not be taken until the budget meas
ures is signed.
Speaker Edward Craig of the as
.sembly was so optimistic he said
the legislature could complete It's
work next Wednesday if the senate
rassed The budget TO-DAY and Merl-
riam signed it tonight. The gov
ernor was not expected TO return
from San Diego until tomorrow,
however.
Although the alI-important ap-
preparations battle had ended, there
remained many serious problems to
solve and fights to settle. The
legislature, having done practically
nothing thus far toward providing
new revenue for 1887, must APP
prove tax bills which will raise $780,
00O.00O for governmental expenses
and $44,OoO,O0O for unemployment
relief.
Major debates viii center on a
proposed state income tax, severance
taxes on natural resources, and a
state levy ON automobiles in lieu OF
local property taxes on motor
vehicles.
