Atk your neighbor] DOANS PILLS GOLDEN GATE EXPO TAKES FORM “World’s Fair of Western America” Will Rise on Man-Made Isle Now Nearly Completed; Said to Have First Ideal Plan. Artist’s conception of the finished Golden Gate International exposition in 1939. Oakland is in the fore ground, San Francisco in the background, the San-Francisco-Oakland bridge at the left, the Golden Gate bridge at top center and the fair on the island in the bay. By WILLIAM C. UTLEY T HE largest island ever created by man is rising in San Francisco bay under the shadow of the two great new bridges there. Flat and barren now, and a little lonely but for the government workmen and the dredges, it will two years from today glow with the beauty and hum with the activ ity of the “world’s fair of western America”—the 1939 Golden Gate International exposition. <s>- This exposition, the first to be held in the bay area since the famed Panama-Pacific exposition, whose exquisite beauty enthralled some 14,000,000 visitors in 1915, expects to concede nothing in the way of beauty and interest to the old fair, and is confident of outdrawing it in attendance. Claims now are that 20,000,000 visitors will be attracted during the 288 days from February 18 to December 2, 1939. A fifty per cent increase in population in the western states, as well as vast im provements in transportation since 1915 form a basis, in part, for these claims. The Panama-Pacific exposition celebrated the opening of the Pan ama canal; the Golden Gate expo sition will also commemorate new and important developments in transportation and communication —the world’s two largest bridges, the trans-Pacific and transconti nental air routes, the network of western highways and streamlined rail services, and the progress in the arts and sciences of moving j pictures, radio and television. First to conceive the 1939 expo sition was its dynamic president, Leland S. Cutler, San Francisco in surance man. It was his efforts, largely, which obtained the federal grants that made possible the build ing of the two bridges and, later, the construction of Exposition island. He has been ably supplemented by his assistant, Howard Freeman, whose work in securing important exhibitors has been especially no table. World’s Longest Span. So stupendous in size and so magnificent in setting are the two , new bridges that, especially for the traveler whose home is in the in terior of the country, they in them selves are worthy of a visit to the Coast. One of them, the San Francisco- Oakland bridge, is already carry ing its burden of traffic across the bay, having been opened last No vember. Built at a cost of $77,000,- 000, this gigantic structure is eight and one-fourth miles long. In reality it is a series of bridges from ’Frisco to Yerba Buena island and thence across to Oakland. Its double decked six-lane highway takes care of automobile as well as interurban train traffic. It may be said to go far under the earth and far above it, for the bridge, by means of the world’s largest vehicular bore, tun nels through Yerba Buena, and the towers over the bay are 520 feet above the water, higher than the city’s skyscrapers. Some of the foundations lie more than 200 feet below the level of the bay, and re quired construction engineering methods never before employed. The Golden Gate bridge, not yet completed, rises out of the presidio to project the world’s largest sus pension span out over the open sea —the only bridge of its kind in the world. The great span, 4,200 feet long, is 700 feet longer than that of the celebrated George Washington bridge in New York. It joins San Francisco with Marin county and the famed “Redwood empire” to the north. Its 746-foot towers are the tallest structures west of New York. When completed, the bridge will have cost $35,000,000. The island where the exposition will lie is being created over Yerba Buena shoals, off the island of that name. It is now about three-fourths completed; the last shovelful of the 20,000,000 cubic yards of fill will go in by August 1. Work began about a year ago, when United States army dredges began filling in the site. Finest World’s Fair Plan. The exposition area will be over a mile long and about two-thirds of a mile wide, covering about as much ground as Chicago’s Century of Progress exposition. Around it is being constructed a 16,000-foot sea wall, using 220,000 tons of rock to protect the grounds from the waves of the bay. By building its own site, the ad ministration of the fair manages to avoid many of the evils which have confronted other expositions. Indeed Col. J. Franklin Bell, ex ecutive vice-president, says, “This is the first world’s fair to have an ideal general plan.” Colonel Bell points out that the plans for other world’s fairs have had to be adjusted to fit irregularly shaped sites with resulting loss of symmetry, balance and beauty. Many of these sites, he says, have been encumbered with permanent incongruous features which could not be made to fit into the general exposition plan harmoniously; that such sites have frequently been sur rounded by ugly grounds and struc tures which detracted from the ar chitectural, lighting and color ef fects. Soon the fairyland city will be arising from Exposition island. The first buildings under construction are a $715,000 airport terminal and two hangars costing $400,000 apiece. The former will be used as an ad ministration building during the ex position and the latter as exhibit buildings. When the fair is over the site will become a metropolitan airport for both land planes and the far-cruising “clipper ships,” and will be one of the four or five finest in the world. Fair Easy of Access. Also scheduled for construction during 1937 are four ferry slips, a ferry terminal, five major exhib it “palaces” and the paving of roadways. All this will cost $4,200,- 000, of which $2,315,285 is being paid by the exposition company and the remainder furnished by a PWA al location. The entire fair, when com pleted, isj expected to be a $40,- 000,000 project. Of this amount $6,- 250,000 has been provided by the United States government through WPA and PWA grants and $7,500,- 000 is being raised through private subscription. The remainder will be provided through admissions, ex hibits, construction of exhibit build ings and concessions. The fair will lie in the geograph ical center of o metropolitan area ; approaching 2,000,000 in popula tion and, for most of these people, will be easy of access. A six lane highway and ferries from San Fran cisco and Oakland will carry the traffic. Vessels of the nations of the world will anchor nearby. From whatever direction it is ap proached the fair will appear in the heart of a scene of extravagant beauty, with the bridges and the Golden Gate in plain view. The grounds themselves will be beauti fied by $500,000 worth of trees, shrubs and flowers. Entertainment Values Sought. The countries bordering the Pa cific, and the eleven western states have been invited to exhibit, and there are already indications that many will. The international ex hibits will be placed around a Lake of Nations, with the United States government building and those of the states adjoining. To date twelve states and British Columbia have pledged their co-operation. “Visitors will be able to reach any part of the grounds quickly and with little fatigue,” Colonel Bell predicts. Colonel Bell’s plan has provided for .a great historical pageant ad jacent to the amusement zone, an extravaganza of greater scope than the famed “Wings of a Century” at the Chicago fair. Parades and spec tacles will have a prominent place in the bill of fare. “This fair will follow no plan of any previous fair,” Colonel Bell ex plains. “Entertainment rather than exhibitions will be the objective. The stress will be on recreation and social relations instead of on manu- factufed products.” The plan calls for a double row of exhibit palaces, running on two axes, at right angles, with a large lagoon and tower on the eastern edge of the site. The exhibit pal aces will be entirely artificially lighted and air-conditioned All courts and areas in which visitors will congregate will be in the lee of the high walls of the buildings. Illumination, upon which $500,000 is being spent, promises to be spec tacular. Exposition authorities consider the areas around the lagoon ideally suited to the features allocated to that area—playgrounds, sports and wild life and musical programs. Along the axes of the plan will be the formal gardens, the ornamental features, and the reflecting pools and fountains. © Western Newspaper Union. Well-Dressed at Little Cost I T WAS some job.

Speaking of things clicking, don’t think that new princess gown she’s wearing isn’t doing it in a big way. Can’t yon see from where you’re sitting that it is simple to sew besides being a fig ure-flatterer of the first order? The buttons half way and a neat little collar in contrast are all its lively lines need to complete the perfect balance—chic vs. simplic ity. Take a tip from this stylish student and figure it out for your self in cashmere or velveteen. The style is 1202 and it can be had in sizes 12-20 (30-38). Size 14 requires 4% yards of 39 inch material plus % yard contrasting. Go Print for Spring. The charming young lady above, left, has chosen to model a very dainty and rather picturesque lit tle frock for she believes you’ll be interested in this style as a fitting gesture to Springtime. Es pecially in a modern print, fea turing, say, pussycats or deep-sea flowers, would this frock be tempting. The skirt is bias-cut for artistic reasons, and the cir cles of contrast aid and abet its gracefulness. Let yourself go print then, come Spring. Style 1257 is designed in sizes 12-20 (30- 40 bust). Size 14 requires 4% yards of 39 inch material. ' Elev en yards of bias binding is re quired for trimming as pictured. Gay House or Street Frock.

The linked button front is enough to give it first place on your Spring sewing list if Sew-Your-Own de signers know their clients as well as they think. However, there’s more to recommend it: a young becoming collar, a simple yoke- and-sleeve-in-one construction, and a slender action-built skirt.

It all depends on how much one has neglected his op portunities whether it is a dis grace to die poor. Men wish the return of their youth with the wisdom they have since accumulated. Nobody can be made absolutely happy except people whose ideals are not too exacting. If you don’t want to wreck a man, let him have some belief in his own way of doing things, even when you think there are better ways.
