 Streets Spread Fanwise

Streets Spread Fanwise
 Landscaping and color design are everywhere. Spreading fanwise from the Theme Center are such radial highways as the Avenue of Patriots and Avenue of Pioneers, Park Row and the Avenue of La bor. The Center is flanked by the Court of Communications, Court of Power and the Plaza of Light. The main transverse thoroughfare Rainbow Avenue, swings in a broadarc across the radial high- ways.
 Rainbow Avenue takes its name from the unique color and lighting scheme. By day the buildings to the south of Theme Center are blue. This hue merges into purple as the Hall is approached. where red predominiates. Swinging to- ward the north, red blends into or- ange and on the far left yellow Is the keynote. Transverse avenues carry out this pattern and by night colored lights make 1t even more marked. Thus visitors can recognize the section they are in by predominating tint.
 To assure comfort and assis- tance to visitors, 8 staff of physi- clans, surgeons and nurses has been assembled to care for all emergency cases. A police force of 800 men and a fire department equipped with apparatus of the most modern type will be on duty constantly.

1 Then inside the huge globe, wis., itors step onto one of two magic carpets" From this vantage point they can look down upon Demo cracity," or "the Garden City ot Tomorrow" It really is model one of the largest ever built.
 Night and Day in 2 Minutes
 Lights, motion and sound are integral parts of this city of the future. Bright daylight floods the community for two minutes, then twilight falls, the stars come out overhead and lights gleam in the city below. A chorus of a thousand voices is heard in the distance and high in the sky 10 marching col umnS are seen to converge on the city. As these lines come singing down the skies they increase :n size and are recognized as repre- sentatives of various groups in modern society.
 A final burst of song and the music dies away. The heavens blaze with polaroid light and color the figures vanish and another cy- cle begins. Spectators leave the ex- hibit by long ramp, the Helicline whcih encircles the Perisphere From this point it is possible to get sweeping view of the entire fair grounds.
 Those who are seeking enter tainment will find it in the indus- trial exhibits as well as in the Amusement Area. In the Trans portation Zone, for instance, have been assembled dramatic views of every modern means of locomotion railroads, steamships, automo- piles and airplanes.
 Railway Building Largest
 In the Railway Building, largest structure at the fair, is the most complete miniature railroad ever constructed, operating for 3O-min- ute periods at regular intervals.
 Railroads on Parade" another feature, will display the latest and some of the oldest - in the way of locomotives and trains.
 In the nearby Court of Ships is the Marine Building, with water as an integral part of the design. The facade of the building gives an im- pression of the waterfront with the prows of two liners towering over the wharf.
 An interior view of the Aviation Building, which recalls the general outlines of gigantic airdrome, will reveal a pilot sealed in a typ ical cabin of a plane, mounted on a universal joint, and demonstrat- ing blind flying"
 One of the largest and most un- usual structures at the fair is the General Motors building. In an area equal to two and one-half city blocks, there is a living pano- rama of what traffic control meth ods and auto transportation on the super-highways of the future may be like. Seated in comfortable chairs, mounted on a moving belt, visitors will be transported past what will appear to be many miles of future express highways and feeder roads. These transportation arteries will be seen as they pass by large cities, in open and in mountainous country, at night and by day. At times the spectator will have the sensation of being high above the earth.

 The fair is divided into four ma- jor units: Main Exhibit Area, Court of States, International Area and Amusement Area. There also are parking lots to accommodate 50,- 900 cars, boat basin in Flushing

Acting swiftly, the officer grabbed the poi son before De Fronzo swallowed much of it, then carried him to East Main Street, where he called police headquarters.
 Driver Thomas Grady responded and took the man to St. Mary's Hos- pital where he responded to emer- gency treatment. His conditions was reported better" at the hos pital today.

trail, Heather, was almost kisk-
view, as Noel says"
"They were terribly afraid of you,
Alan" she said. "They had heard
at Fort George that you were the
best shot on the coast. We had
such long start it seemed almost
impossible for you to catch us, and
1 grew so tired. The last day
lost hope and decided to shoot my
self, as Mcqueen and Slade quar-
relied. They went mad, both Of
them. 1 knew I'd have to use my
gun-some day, soon. Then walked
to hear Mcqueen call your name
and saw Noel leap from the shad-
ows."
With the bribe of frequent feed
ings of fish, Noel had won over the
shy Indian dogs and, when the
party started leisurely for the
cache on the big lake, he followed
Heather and the gold on Alan'S sled
with a team of his own. At the
cache they rested again while they
revelled in -four, sugar and pemmi-
can, and dogs and men rapidly put
on weight. Slowly but surely the
superb vitality of the exhausted girl
was working its cure. BY the time
they reached the cabin on the Talk
ing, which, to their surprise, Nc
Queen had not burned, she had re-
covered her strength. The shad-
ows had left her violet eyes and the
dimples were again in her cheeks.
There they waited two weeks to
hunt deer and net fish, under the
ice, for dog-food for the long trip
to the coast.
One night when the stars swarmed
low over the valley and the aurora
glowed in the north, Heather, Alan
and Rough stood on the river ice as
the frozen feather Of a moon hung
above the western tundra.

American Sucker, Unique Fish Which

these dress goods as material which
had been smuggled through the Gus
toms. The dear old lady would go to
the phone and give three long rings
and a short one and the entire
town would know that snug
gler was sitting in her kitchen and
the town marshal would be on the
scene before you could say Jack
Robinson with your mouth open.
when the silk was taken down
to the general store, and found to
have been grown in the Carolinas,
the fisherman would be called on to
change his line and hook for a heavy
sledge hammer and be sentenced
to make canary bird tombstones
out of big granite rocks.

will hook from 10 to 20 fish in a
couple of hours"
Con men who invent new tackle
look in scorn on those who persist
in employing lines and hooks which
have been used for generations. 1t
is almost unbelievable that a man
who had made a success of legi-
innate business to the extent of a
nest egg of $40, 900 to $50, 900 would
lay his entire savings on the line in
some game which has received so
much publicity in the press that the
average reader should recognize

Although more than $4,000 differ
ent varieties of fish already have
been catalogued and new types con-
stantly are being brought to light
there is only one species, which car
ries its own bait.
This unique fish is commonly
known as the sucker and the bait is
a mixture of greed and dishones-
ty, says a writer in the Chicago
Daily News.
Thousands of these fish are hooked
every year by con men who, al
though using variety of lines,
toss out the same old hook which has
caught the over-greedy suckers for
generations. The fishermen them
selves have very low code Of
morals but they live up to it and do
not class themselves with crooks or
thieves.
I'VE just work the suckers" one
remarked, And if the fish wasn't t
perfectly wiling TO graD oil some
other suckers kale he wouldn't take
the hook.
Farmers bite? I should say not. 4"
he replied in answer to a query as
to where the best fishing grounds
were. Country folk work hard for
their money and want to investigate
before they lay out a dollar. The
big cities are filed with fish that
have the bait in plain sight and all
one needs to land them is a good
line and fairly strong hook.

to take roll of silk cut it up into
dress lengths, and then go to some

the girls grief swept her. Then she
regained her self-control in the ref

it or not, you're bound straight for

Noel, at the water hole, smiled,
as he saw, above him on the river,
a hooded shape take another hooded
shape in its arms while two wolf
trimmed hoods were blended into
one, and a great, black dog, stand

motionless figures, demanding at

Before he left he asked her: do
you believe l love you, now?"
She impulsively drew him close to
her. Il knew you did, that day at
the camp when you took me in your
arms, but I'd been so hurt. I've
loved you so long-ever since you
left us on the ice to go to Fort
George"
He kissed her, then pushed back
her hood to touch the thick gold Of
her hair Replacing the hood he
suddenly sensed the ugliness of the
sprawled shape beyond them in the
snow. Standing by the fire on which
he had placed fresh wood, Noel
waited to speak to her, but Heather
spoke first.

come here!"
Heather impulsively reached and
hugged the embarrassed Montag-
nais.
Thank you, Noel! Oh, thank you
for what you've done for me! You're
both so thin; you've worked so
hard! 1t makes me cry!" And she
burst into tears.

Cause and Cure Obscure

No scientists today are willing
to state what causes colds or how
they may be cured. Large num-
bers of clinical and laboratory
tests have been performed
throughout the world in an effort
to discover why we catch cold.
Numerous records have been
made concerning colds in men,
women and children, as scientific
workers have patiently and per-
sistently tried to investigate the
cause of colds. They have sought
even one clue that might help us
to outwit this common enemy!
Various theories have been ad-
vanced. Many have been discard
ed, and others have been consid
cred sufficiently plausible to in
vestigate further. There is one
point on which many authorities
agree: that is belief that cold
is caused by a germ so small
that it cannot be seen by the most
powerful microscope.
1t has been suggested by a num-
Der of competent observers that
whenever the weather becomes
damp and raw, and wherever
crowds of people gather together,
the cold germ may find victims
among those whose resistance is
low.

er slept, then Alan went for his dogs.
Somewhere back in the bush the
Indian huskies again lay quiet, in
different to the actions Of the
strange masters.
When Alan brought his weary and
stiff dogs up to the camp with the
sled, a hooded figure stood on the
ice.
We'll have to wire the dogs away
from the camp, tonight, Noel" he
said They'll pitch on those Indian
scrubs if they're loose"
With a laugh the hooded shape
moved through the gloom to the Un-
gavas.

muzzles and the swift thrusts Of red
tongues.
In the crook of Alan's right arm,
she walked slowly back to camp
where Noel had steaming tea and
caribou broth waiting for them.
For two days the happy man and
girl and the gaunt Ungavas ate and

Prevention Rather Than Cure

Though we may not know pre-
cisely what causes a cold, nor
how to cure it once we have been
stricken, we can and should help
to build up bodily resistance, so
that we develop strong reserves
against the unknown cold germ
and any Jthers lurking about.
Inasmuch as program for
building up bodily resistance is
one which encourages greater
health and longevity, it is pro-
gram which all forward-looking
homemakers should put into eff
feet for their families.
