We spent little over $3.50 each per
day on the Fair itself, counting admis-

EscalatOrs and Ramps
About transportation; this fair is
great on saving shoe leather. 1t has to
be, it is so big that unless there were
lot of escalators and moving belts
the cobblers would have field day
at every exit. You 60 up into the Per-
isphere on an escalator, and ride
around it on moving belt; and
there's the moving belt at the GIN
building. Everywhere you find ramps
instead of steps, and the ramps are
exactly calculated to ease your legs as
you 60 up or down. Streets and walks
are asphalt, and the buildings gener-
ally have rubber composition flooring.
And if you want to ride, it costs dime
for bus from any point on the
grounds to any other point.
If your feet do get tired (and they
oughtn't to often if you've got the
right kind of shoes, which is impor-
tant, especially to the women) you
can stop in at any of the first aid sta
tons and get free foot treatment to
ease them.

INDIAN SANITARIUM IS
PLANNED BY GOVERNMENT

It was learned here this week
that the government is con-
templating the erection of an
Indian sanitarium on a reSer-
walton in one of three states,
namely Montana, Idaho or Wyo-
ming.
In a letter of inquiry to the
Department of the Interior
written by Robert Yellowtail,
Grow reservation superintend-
ent, it was asked that the gov
eminent give further informa-
ton on the project.
The saniarium would cost ap-
proXimately 100000 it was sta
ted.
Superintendent Y e llowta i Is
letter also pointed out the fact
that such a saniarium erected
on the Crow reservation near
the Woody we'll would make a
very suitable location for such
an institution as the healing
and curing properties of the
mineral water found there had
proven beneficial to Indians
who had camped there and used
the water for medicinal purpoS-
eS.
