There 1m >i wonderful city out In the heart of the Hh ii Fernando Valley, In the of tltUifor^a, wlit eli Is pro htthly I lie niOHt unique city In the world. Its mi me Ih Universal City, ami It Ih the only municipality In the universe devoted to the manufacture of moving-picture films, It Was offi cially jjpened oil March 1ft, and Its imputation of l.ftoo |H?oplo are nil em ployed In the art of making pictures. It Ih the make believe City of the Twen tieth Century, ami one never known, hn tie strolls about the street* of this city, whether what he sees Ih real <?r J nut "reel" views. A stroll though Universal City Is like going through the pages of a won der hook ; a fairy tale for Children. It Is nothing more or less than a chamel eon city, for the entire complexion and appearance of Universal City can be changed In three days to conform to any nationality, style of architecture, color scheme, or state of preservation which occasion requires, Troy. Ath ens, Home, Paris, London, ami New York are nil distinguished and char acteristic cities, lint Universal Clt.v combines everything which can he found In any of these cities, and could represent all of them inside of a week, that is, for motion-picture purposes, j for there Is no buildiug in tho entire | limits of the city which could not l?e changed over night into something radically different and changed back again with equt^l facility. J There Is no utility shop put up for the use of workmen even which could not be turned Into barracks for the entertainment of thieves and . 4#*} mm - does, or a ranch house for use In some Western drama. The adminis tration building Itself Is built with a I different face mi every quarter and one of the shocks to which unsuN|>oct ing. visitors at the city are tikfely to be subjected Is the return through It from a different direction, and the realization that from that quarter ev ery building presents a different as IK'ct from tlmt first seen. It is this ability to change Its color at the slight est wish which makes this city the most remarkable which has ever lu?en constructed t. As to when Universal ? City will he , finished it is a very difficult matter to I say. it has already been two years i under construction, but there In no end to the possible Improvements. It nl ready has its own mayor, police, tire, j street cleaning and educational de partments. and In fact, everything which can he found in the average ?modern e|?- All of the streets had to he scientifically paved and pljicd for gas. electricity and sewer mains. The main boulevard of the city is six miles long, and this will give an Idea of the amount of work the street dopa rtment alone has to do. The roadways of the city are |>eeuliar in that they are of different widths and styles of top dressing, so that there will he as great a variety in this respect to ? ?hoose from for scenic pur|>oso.s. The zoo is housed in especially con structed buildings .and cages, and is now the largest and finest privately owned menagerie in the world. There are African lions. leopards. tigers, wolves from the Siberian steppes, jack als. wild dogs, mountain lions. rej> tilcs of all descriptions, from the might j python to the hooded cobra, al ligators. crocodiles, camels, dromeda ries. a herd of elephants, nine differ ent kinds of plumage birds and many others, like the American eagle and the vulture, a complete dog kennel of prize-winning thoroughbreds, nil kinds of domcntlc animals, and a larg* herd uX wide horned., idiUe. bison. buffalo iiikI cowpojiles. ftlld iorww ami goph< t-rh These buildings have been com plot is I (iiul the animal* have taken part ill many big jungle pictures which have l>eeu seen hy the public. The ad ministration building, which house* the rc4'optioii hall, meeting room, IkhjU keeping department; cashier's de|*?rt luent, a suite of eight rooms for the scenario department, the library* ste nographer, telephone exchange, tele graph otllce, adltor's and general man tiger's different interiors and (liferent style of architecture. The laboratory has the same pceullarity of exterior ltp|>caranco. Tli?re Is also an exhibi tion theater, which takes on either the apiH'tirancc of a city or a country theater at the behest of the director. There are barracks for housing the troops of expert cavalrymen and bunk I touses for the cowboys. All of these are modern and sanitary, and can be used for many other things from the moving-picture standpoint. Ouo of the most picturesque spots in the city is the Indian village, which Is the largest In America, and Is In habited by a tribe of red men who are permitted to pursue their lives ns they please, for they are not encouraged to adopt modern customs or costumes. There are two restaurants as capa cious and as well served as any in the city of Ix>s Angeles, which is eight miles north of Universal City. 'These are for the coAvenience of actors who have no habitation In the city itself. The wonderful revolving stngel is one of the most up-to-date features of this city, and includes many innovations and a rocking stage made especially for children's productions. The wardrobe department contains costumes of every conceivable sort and in addition to this are the costwttRV shops, which can turn out the designs which are required by every period of dress, from the era of jwilm leaf gir dles to the present time. The five hundred dressing rooms are fireproof and are equipped with hot and cold running water, electric and gas lights, and steam heat. There are also bath rooms and swimming pools for both men and women. ? There arc two hospitals and infirm aries thoroughly equipped with every modern instrument for surgical and pathological remedy, and these are under the direction of two physicians, assisted by a corps of trained nurses Several corrals contain, among other j animals, sixteen English thoroughbred l saddle horses, four white Arabian | steeds and one hundred and thiity-slx j head of Western horses, four long | horned steers, twelve burros and j twelve military mules, and twelve Shet 1 land ponies. The carriage house is equipped with some forty vehicles, ranging from the chariot of Homer's time to an up-to-date phaeton or lan dau : while the garage next door con tains thirty cars of every description and the machinery for equipping and repairing. The blacksmlthy and har ness shops are all under the super vision of experts and are thoroughly ! equlpiK'd for the purpose intended. I For the outdoor enjoyment of the ; t'ni versa 11 tes, there is a quarter-mile race track, with concrete grandstand and sadium in the most approved uni versity style. In this arena can be staged any kind of play calling for outdoor s porta, and it is open at all times to the athletically inclined who wish to keep in trim for their arduous duties in the films. Like all other buildings in the city, tills" arena can l>e changed on short notice to repre sent. a number of d iff! rent settings. One day it may be necessary to use it for the Coliseum at Rome and another for a country fair. It can be used an Indian durbar or a golf link. BKIXilANK ARE THANKFl'L.

A memorial addressed to President Wilson, sign ed hy about 40.000 Belgian refugees in Holland, expressing gratitude for aid which America has extended to Bel gian war sufferers, was mailed to Washington today.
