 Foreword 
 
 This is the official exposition 
 g-uide-book of A Century of 
 Progress, Chicago's 1933 World's 
 Fair. It contains the latest and 
 most accurate information avail- 
 able on what has been accom- 
 plished and what is planned for 
 this Exposition of the greatest 
 era of the world's scientific and 
 industrial history.

 transportation facilities to and within the grounds, and the comforts 
 and conveniences desij^ned for your service. The Book endeavors to 
 prepare your mind with authentic data and description of buildings 
 and exhibits which, in a plan years ago conceived and faithfully fol- 
 lowed, compose, you will discover, a harmonious whole — the engineered 
 development of an epic theme. 
 
 It will serve you as a Fair guide and encyclopedia, and, too, it i.^ 
 hoped, as a souvenir that you will treasure. 
 
 What Is the Meaning oF It All? 
 
 Millions Are Expended — A Magic City Created — Throngs Come — 
 The World Watches — Then It Vanishes — 
 
 WHY? 
 
 From May 27 to November 1, 1933, the interest of a considerable 
 part of the civilized world is focused upon 424 acres of land that lie 
 along the shore of Lake Michigan, edging Chicago. A little while ago 
 this site was placid lake. Now, shimmering beside the water, a dream 
 city is risen. It lights the sky with splendor, yet soon will disappear 
 and be merely a memory. 
 
 Fivs Short Months of Celebration 
 
 The immensity of the enterprise might make you ask yourself, 
 What could be so tremendously important that a city and its citizens 
 should undertake this titan task of building, shoulder these infinite 
 details, merely to invite the world to come for a carnival? 
 
 Leaf the pages of history for the last 100 years. The answer is 
 there. 
 
 A City Lifted From Mud 
 
 Only a hundred years ago Chicago was a huddle of huts, hewn of 
 logs, clinging to the shadows of Fort Dearborn for safety from the 
 Indians, and four years after its incorporation as a village, in 1833, its 
 population, conquering patches of dreary swamp, had reached 4,000. 
 Today it is nearly 4,000,000 — 3,376,438 for the sake of accuracy, by 
 the census of 1930 — and growing at a rate of 70,000 a year. 
 
 Chicago in a century has climbed to her place as second largest city 
 in America, fourth in the world. 
 
 One thousand two hundred houses of worship pierce her skies with 
 spires — more churches and missions than in any of thirteen of the 
 states — and she is one of the country's great religious centers. She has 
 6,000 acres given to parks and supervised places of play and 35,000 acres 
 of picnic and playgrounds, as forest preserves outside the city limits, 
 and supports a h ndred or more supervised social centers. 
 
 Chicago ha:, close to 6,000 miles of streets, 84 miles of beautiful 
 boulevards. Bcnc::th her bustling loop, to which area daily at least 
 250,000 people come to work or for business, and a million and a quarter 
 
 [8J
 
 more to shop or to visit, narrow-gage trains whisk merchandise over 
 60 miles of tracks through tunnels to stores and marts. Above its 
 towering skyscrapers, passenger and pleasure aircraft and mail planes 
 go their speedy ways, and Chicago rapidly is becoming the hub of 
 American aviation. 
 
 Chicago is the greatest railroad center in the United States, 53 
 trunk lines terminating here. An average of one train every 58 sec- 
 onds enters the city, year in and year out. It is the largest livestock 
 market and packing center. It is one of the greatest grain markets 
 and one of the most important ports. Where, a hundred years ago the 
 trading in furs and the business of trapping them constituted the major 
 part of the hamlet's commerce, today her 10,000 or more industries 
 annually produce a vast variety of wares, whose wholesale value 
 averages close to four billions of dollars. 
 
 It might well stir the most sluggish imagination to contemplate the 
 fact that Chicago, born in the marshes, and actually raised, some years 
 later, by human energy and skill some 12 or 14 feet out of the mud 
 for a healthful and more solid site, now is the commercial and the 
 cultural capital of a domain of more than 40,000,000 people, residing 
 within a night's ride of the city — a population greater than that of 
 Great Britain or France, equal to Germany's. 
 
 Chicago stands high in world notice as a medical center. It is the 
 home of six famous libraries. Its Art Institute, which, by the way, 
 located in the Grant Park area north of the Fair grounds, is one of two 
 oermanent institutions included in A Century of Progress proper, is 
 visited by more than a million people annually. The Field Museum, 
 which stands, a $6,000,000 marble structure, at the right of the Fair 
 grounds' North entrance, is rated as one of the world's finest museums 
 of anthropology and ethnology. The Shedd Aquarium, within a stone's 
 throw of the North entrance, houses a permanent exposition of marine 
 life second to none in the world. Chicago has a $20,000,000 home of 
 grand opera. Her Symphony Orchestra, founded by Theodore Thomas, 
 is considered one of the finest. Her Museum of Science and Industry, 
 established by the late Julius Rosenwald, in one of the magnificent 
 buildings of the World's Fair of '93, in Jackson Park, ranks with the 
 world's great museums. The Adler Planetarium and Astronomical 
 Museum, also included as a part of the exposition, is the only one of 
 its kind in America, and only one other in the entire world has its equal 
 in equipment. Chicago is a center of education for the Middle West, 
 a city of many great colleges and universities, enrolling 40,000 students; 
 she has some 40 high schools, and junior high schools, and more than 
 300 grade schools. 
 
 So Chicago Celebrates 
 
 The foregoing tells scantily a few of the things that cause men to 
 call Chicago great. Ride over her boulevards, view her serrated sky- 
 
 L9J
 
 line from her twenty-six miles of lake front, visit her institutions, see 
 Chicago in all her myriad phases of life and activity, and wonder ceases 
 why Chicago, in pride, is stirred to celebrate her own Centennial. 
 
 This youngster of the Xew World had fought the wilderness and 
 won, and had welcomed peoples of many bloods who came and helped 
 to build. 
 
 Then came years, of recent memory, when the economic scheme of 
 things seemed to go awry, and the steady march of progress appeared, 
 to many, halted. 
 
 But, undaunted, Chicago turned its face toward the morning of a 
 new day — just as — one is struck by the parallel — she had done in '93. 
 She invited the world to observe with her the victories of a glorious 
 past and the promise of a more glorious future. 
 
 Justification enough, you might agree, for Chicago to jubilate over 
 her own birthday, so peculiarly eloquent of progress. But why the 
 nations? A great conflict had blazed, and much of the world was 
 ravaged and much still is lame with the wounds of war. It might have 
 seemed, then, that progress had turned back, its lights dimmed, and 
 the world, wallowing in the welter of the war's aftermath, in no mood 
 for jubilee. 
 
 A Century of Progress intends to bring assurance that the steady 
 march of progress has not, however, swerved aside, nor even been 
 seriously retarded, that so-called "recessions" are temporary, like the 
 cloud that, for the moment, obscures the sun. History holds the 
 evidence that this is true. 
 
 Lishts Ahead 
 
 It is recalled as singularly significant that, in 1893, when Chicago 
 invited the world to celebrate the landing of Columbus on the beach of 
 a little island in the Bahamas 400 years before, there was financial 
 panic and widespread unemployment. Since then, the world has known 
 prosperity such as it never before imagined. 
 
 Chicago herself, at the time of that World's Fair, was still recover- 
 ing from a great disaster. In 1871 consuming fire had sw^ept the city 
 rendering 100,000 people homeless, destroying one hundred and ninety 
 millions of dollars in property, and taking the toll of 200 lives. But 
 then, rebuilt, she welcomed the world with a manifestation of her faith 
 in the future. 
 
 And the world came, to discover that the forces that spring from 
 men's minds could not be checked for long, if checked at all. These 
 are minds that are no more dismayed by a pause for readjustments than 
 is the motorist who may halt beside the road to adjust his engine's 
 carburetor. He does not believe his car irreparably ruined because of 
 a minor flaw. He readjusts and goes on. And thus do the forces of 
 progress sweep on. They are the forces of science, linked with the 
 forces of industry.

 But when the plans were in the making for the exposition of 1933, 
 the thought came that Chicago's Centennial celebration should be used 
 to help the American people to understand themselves, and to make 
 clear to the coming generation the forces which have built this nation.

 And the story is made complete, its sequence a running narrative, 
 by the exhibits of social science, which show you how Man has come 
 up from the caves of half a hundred thousand years ago. adapting 
 himself to, being molded by, his environments, responding to each new 
 thing discovered and developed. You see man's march upward to the 
 present day, where, in a home of 1933, he uses and enjoys all the multi- 
 tudinous benefits with which science and industry have endowed him.

 Coins Back a Century 
 
 Before you enter the Fair, it may serve to prepare your mind to 
 keener appreciation of what our progress has been, if you simply shut 
 your eyes and imagine yourself, for a moment, transported back a 
 hundred years. 
 
 Now you are traveling as man had traveled before you for thousands 
 of years, in a vehicle dragged by animals, for — in 1833 — it has been 
 only three years since America's first locomotive, prophetically named 
 "Best Friend," chugged out of Charleston, S. C, over a few miles of 
 track to Hamburg in the same state. So the "steam cars" are as yet 
 only a fearsome experiment. You live roughly, in your own tiny, lonely 
 world, hedged in by forest or houseless prairies or towering mountains. 
 Xo means of quick communication have been contrived to overcome 
 natural barriers or to break, for months at a time, the solitude. You 
 wear crude dress, ill fashioned, for it is still the era when clothing 
 chiefly is made by the women of the household — it is 13 years before 
 the invention of the sewing machine that permitted the making of 
 clothes in volume. You eat foods that must be indigenous to the 
 territory in which you live, for the preservation and protection of foods 
 has not yet been developed. You read slowly and perhaps painfully 
 by tallow candle light, for electricity has not come to work its wonders, 
 even the kerosene lamp is in the future. You fall ill, and primitive 
 remedies are administered, or the crude knowledge of a restricted man 
 of medicine is sought. You live in fear and danger of epidemics which 
 sweep the community unchecked time and time again and take their 
 deadly toll. Xot even antiseptics for combating infection have come, 
 and will not until 1867. Life is cruel and harsh. 
 
 The Hall of Science at Night 
 [ 13]
 
 Returning to the Present 
 
 Come back to 1933. You hurtle through the air over mountains 
 and plains on motored wings, or speed along the ground in luxurious 
 trains, or over smooth highways in motor-powered cars. You 
 live in a home made of materials created by the genius of man anticipat- 
 ing the vanishing of forests. Electricity is your servant to give you 
 light and do your work. You whisper and your words wing their way 
 across the seas to be heard by listening ears. You read of an event 
 happening a few hours before, thousands of miles away, and you see 
 it pictured in the same newspaper. You dine on foods in their original 
 freshness and flavor, but grown leagues distant, and choose your foods 
 by the scales and charts of science for health and strength, and eat it 
 in safety because science has protected it. You choose clothing of 
 infinite variety of fabrics and patterns. You sit and watch the living 
 likenesses of actors move about in their previously-enacted roles and 
 you hear them speak. You turn a dial and take music and speeches 
 from out of the air. You may fall ill, and medical science performs 
 miracles with the new knowledge and new devices and instruments. 
 Life in a hundred years, in all its phases and in multitudinous ways is 
 more felicitous, and health safer a thousand times, than it ever has 
 been since the world began. 
 
 The Future 
 
 Thus you conjure up the intimate picture, that with most of us has 
 become so commonplace, of what science and industry have done for 
 us in the common, everyday activities of life. And perhaps are moved 
 to ask, "What does the future hold?" 
 
 Let's go back only 40 years, when Chicago's other World's Fair 
 was held. That Fair, historians say, awoke a nation of 65,000,000 
 people from a lethargic material-mindedness and turned its thought 
 eagerly to cultural and spiritual striving. Its beautiful buildings were 
 on classical lines. Within one ornate structure crowds milled and 
 marveled, and whispered in awe. It contained exhibits that to some 
 were a prophecy beyond the mind's conception; to others, perhaps, 
 merely an amazing new kind of "trick" of doubtful value or practical 
 promise. 
 
 "The Fair," wrote an observer, "considered as an electrical exposi- 
 tion only, would be well worth the attention of the world." An elec- 
 trical engineer is quoted as saying, "You have everything here that was 
 undreamed of 25 years ago. You have here the culmination of inven- 
 tion and science. You see here the acme of modern progress. It is 
 worthwhile to note this carefully, because if we should have another 
 e.xhibit twenty-five years from now, the probability is that not one 
 of the things which seem so wonderful, will then be valued. They will 
 have been superseded by inventions so much more useful, that it is 
 barely within the compass of any man's mind to conceive of what the 
 future has in store for us."

 In less than three years thereafter three great discoveries were given

 These discoveries served to change the atomic theory with which 
 men of science had been groping their way. They set science on the

 Antoine Henry Becquerel in France found the radioactivity of uranium,

 of the research worker — the implications of these discoveries were 
 epoch-making. Since they were made, science has gone faster along 
 the road toward the steady conquest of the invisible forces that rule 
 the universe. It has succeeded in putting many new and basic devices 
 into harness for mankind.

 You will see also at the fair countless exhibits showing where science 
 spans the gap between laboratory and factory. Among the dynamic

 will see the results of the latest research into cosmic rays that may 
 prove — science itself will not say with certainty — the source of new 
 power that can be taken from space. You will see, too, how sound is 
 carried on a beam of light. Will this, in the near future, become a new 
 means of communication? You can be the judge.

 Returning to the Present 
 
 Come back to 1933. You hurtle through the air over mountains 
 and plains on motored wings, or speed along the ground in luxurious 
 trains, or over smooth highways in motor-powered cars. You 
 live in a home made of materials created by the genius of man anticipat- 
 ing the vanishing of forests. Electricity is your servant to give you 
 light and do your work. You whisper and your words wing their way 
 across the seas to be heard by listening ears. You read of an event 
 happening a few hours before, thousands of miles away, and you see 
 it pictured in the same newspaper. You dine on foods in their original 
 freshness and flavor, but grown leagues distant, and choose your foods 
 by the scales and charts of science for health and strength, and eat it 
 in safety because science has protected it. You choose clothing of 
 infinite variety of fabrics and patterns. You sit and watch the living

 A Brief History 
 Of A Century of Progress 
 
 The idea of a giant celebration by Chicago on its centennial was 
 urgently supported by Myron E. Adams before Mayor William E. 
 Dever, who on August 17, 1923, having been duly authorized by the 
 City Council, appointed a committee of citizens to lay the foundations 
 for the celebration. The chairman of this committee was Edwin N. 
 Hurley, who gathered much valuable information, considered various 
 plans, and had prepared a report of the greatest value to its successors. 
 
 Upon the election of William Hale Thompson, Mr. Hurley, on behalf 
 of this committee submitted this report of its activities and recommen- 
 dations, and at the same time submitted the resignations of the com- 
 mittee's members. These resignations were accepted and the matter 
 was, for the time being, dropped. 
 
 Late in 1927, a small group of citizens headed by Charles S. Peterson, 
 then City Treasurer, urged upon Mayor Thompson the reconsideration 
 of the project, submitting to him convincing evidence of a great popular 
 interest and support. Accordingly, after appropriate action by the City 
 Council, Mayor Thompson called a public meeting of citizens to consider 
 the proposal of having an international exposition to celebrate Chicago's 
 hundredth birthday. 
 
 At this meeting held December 13,1927, it was determined that the 
 exposition should be announced and a corporation, not for profit, organ- 
 ized for the purpose of preparing for it. The first officers of this asso- 
 ciation to be elected were: President, Rufus C. Dawes; Vice-President, 
 Charles S. Peterson; Secretary, D. H. Burnham; Treasurer, George 
 Woodruff; Comptroller, Arthur Andersen. 
 
 Things started to hum. Here was a job that called for men and 
 women of vision, of civic spirit, of self-sacrificing mold, and the field 
 must be canvassed and the workers chosen. The list of those men and 
 women who have given so freely of their time, loyalty, and resources, 
 has increased in number as the Exposition grew, while the project itself 
 has been singularly free from inharmonious bickerings within and 
 popular attacks from without. 
 
 The Fair Gets Under Way 
 
 On the fifth day of January, 1928, A Century of Progress was 
 organized as an Illinois corporation, not for pecuniary profit, having 
 as its charter purpose, "the holding of a World's Fair in Chicago in the 
 year 1933." The original name of the corporation, "Chicago Second 
 
 [16]
 
 Avenue oF Flags 
 
 I 17 I
 
 World's Fair Centennial Celebration," was changed only July 9, 1929, 
 to "A Century of Progress." 
 
 No profit can, under any circumstances, accrue to members of the 
 World's Fair Association. If any funds remain after payment of the 
 outstanding bonds, they are to be given to existing organizations whose 
 spirit and work is consonant with the basic theme of A Century of 
 Progress. 
 
 The international character of the Exposition is indicated by the 
 fact that on February 5, 1929, a joint resolution of Congress was 
 approved authorizing the President, on assurance that five million dol- 
 lars had been raised by the Corporation, to invite the nations of the 
 world to participate in the Exposition. This assurance having been 
 given to the President the invitation was sent through our diplomatic 
 officers to all nations on January 10, 1930. 
 
 An enabling act of the Illinois legislature permitted the Exposition 
 to be held on new-made state park land lying along Lake Michigan, 
 opposite the heart of the city. In carrying out the aims of this Act, 
 A Century of Progress has had the continuous and unwavering support 
 of the South Park Commission, under whose jurisdiction this land lies. 
 The Commissioners are Edward J. Kelly, Chairman, now Mayor of 
 Chicago; Benjamin F. Lindheimer, Michael L. Igoe and Philip S. Graver. 
 
 Without Cost to the Taxpayer 
 
 In financing — as in creating, as in color, as in architecture — A Cen- 
 tury of Progress has planned boldly, executed audaciously and looked 
 always into the future. That is the theme of the Fair — achievement , 
 and its promise. It breathes of the spirit which has made Chicago, and 
 which summons the World to partake of new hope and encouragement. 
 
 Here in the making, through years of financial crisis, was a several 
 million dollar public enterprise going forward steadily, step by step, 
 along lines not experienced in the history of our national expositions. 
 In these days when articulate protest of peoples of the world has risen 
 against further taxation, A Century of Progress was completed without 
 one cent of taxation being imposed upon an already heavily burdened 
 citizenry. No Federal government, state, county or city subsidy was 
 asked for, or received. 
 
 Other world expositions have greatly depended upon subsidies. 
 Such moneys have constituted the major part of their funds. The 
 World's Fair in Chicago in 1893 received $5,000,000 from the City 
 of Chicago, $2,446,680.43 from the Federal government. The Louisiana 
 Purchase Exposition in St. Louis in 1904 received $5,000,000 from the 
 City of St. Louis and $5,000,000 from the Federal government, and a 
 loan from the Federal government of $4,600,000. The Panama Pacific 
 Exposition, held in San Francisco in 1915, received from the City of 
 San Francisco the sum of $5,000,000, from the State of California, 
 $4,900,000, and from various counties of the state $556,341. The 
 Federal government did not, however, contribute.

 Early needs were met from the fees of founder and sustaining mem- 
 bers of the corporation — $1,000 each for the former and $50.00 each 
 for the latter. 
 
 The citizens of Chicago, as an expression of their faith in the enter- 
 prise, formed the World's Fair 
 Legion. More than a hundred 
 thousand paid the $5.00 member- 
 ship fee, the total of which was set 
 aside with a trustee for return to 
 the members if the Fair never 
 opened or to purchase them admis- 
 sion tickets when it opened. 
 
 The basis of financing was an 
 issue of gold notes of ten million 
 dollars. These notes are secured 
 Ly the deposit of forty per cent of 
 the gate receipts in the hands of 
 the trustees and are guaranteed by 
 the endorsement of prominent citi- 
 zens of Chicago. In a short cam- 
 paign of three days, while on a 
 flying visit to America from his 
 duties as United States Ambassa- 
 dor to the Court of St. James, 
 
 General C. G. Dawes secured these guarantees of over $12,000,000, thus 
 enabling the gold note issue to be made. More than fifty per cent of 
 these notes were sold to the guarantors themselves during the summer 
 of 1929 and in spite of the depression that followed the subscriptions 
 that were made at that time were practically all faithfully performed 
 during 1930 and 1931. Subsequently corporations and individuals have 
 taken these notes in payment for services and materials and no sales of 
 these gold notes have been made for any sum at less than par. 
 
 Plans were made, the Fair started. No contract v.^as let unless there 
 were means with which to pay for it. Yet work never ceased, more 
 buildings were erected, more exhibits were installed, more features con- 
 trived to make A Century of Progress a gorgeous, living spectacle that 
 its participants will remember to their dying days, than were contained 
 in the original schedule. 
 
 No buildings were erected on any general theory that, "maybe and 
 perhaps," exhibits would be found that, in rental for space, would pay 
 for them. Fair officials determined that insofar as the Exposition v.as 
 an expression of Chicago's pride and energy, just that far the citizens 
 themselves should prepare and set the stage; that insofar as the cele- 
 bration met the needs of industry, just so far would industry present 
 the drama. 
 
 [19 1
 
 The Symbol of Arcturus 
 
 Perhaps nothing so graphically symbolizes the swiftness with which 
 science has moved, or presents so clear-cut a picture, as the way that 
 the World's Fair of 1893 was opened, compared with the opening of 
 A Century of Progress. In '93, men marveled that President Grover 
 Cleveland could press a button and start a fountain flowing, and wheels 
 turning as the official Fair opening. At that moment, 40 years ago, 
 the orange star Arcturus, commonly called Job's star, blinked down 
 upon the Fair. Light that left it then has since been racing at a speed 
 of 186,284 miles a second earthward. The idea was conceived of 
 opening A Century of Progress with the rays of Arcturus. A simple 
 matter now for science to catch this feeble beam when it arrived on 
 earth, and as it struck the great telescope of Yerkes Observatory in 
 Wisconsin, transform it into electric energy by means of a photoelectric 
 cell, amplify it by the methods of radio and speed it on to Chicago to 
 start the big show's night life. 
 
 A miracle, they would have said a hundred or even forty years ago. 
 But today, the "electric eye," relays, vacuum tubes, amplifiers, micro- 
 phones, which respond to the tiniest fluxes of energy, help to do the 
 work of the world in almost routine manner. 
 
 Progress! 
 
 And as you roam the vast buildings, ride through the grounds, visit 
 the places where fun is supreme, you will find that all within this great 
 World's Fair is a definite part, a paragraph or chapter in the story of 
 progress and advancement. 
 
 In Speech of Color 
 
 Bold splashes of color seem almost articulate with the spirit of car- 
 nival, a flaming expression of fun and frivolity which, after all is said 
 and done, is of the very essence of a Fair. Joseph Urban, famous 
 architect and stage designer, sought to achieve a harmony of color on 
 building exteriors that might also e.xpress the Exposition's deeper, more 
 lasting implications and purposes. He has used on the buildings 24 
 colors — one green, two blue greens, six blues, two yellows, three reds, 
 four oranges, two greys, white, black, silver, and gold. And it is inter- 
 esting to note the percentages of colors used. Approximately twenty 
 per cent of all the painted surfaces is in white, twenty per cent in blue, 
 twenty per cent in oranges, fifteen per cent in black, and the remaining 
 twenty-five per cent is divided among the yellows, red, greys, and green. 
 
 In terms of laboratory experiment, the result .sought was a correla- 
 tion of many buildings that are different in character, shape and mass, 
 and which are arranged on a very informal plan. Too, the achievement

 of brightness and life for materials that of themselves are not beautiful. 
 Were one to pose as a prophet, he might well say that here is sugges- 
 tion of a future American color harmony, distinctive, bold, that could 
 change neutral sections of cities and towns, bring cheer and liveliness 
 to workers in factories, perhaps revolutionize in time the conception of 
 color effects in homes. At any rate, here, color is decorative in a prac- 
 tical way, a planned conception to fit the architectural scheme of 
 utilitarian modernity, and to play a part in a joyous festival. 
 
 In Style of Buildinss 
 
 Consider the architecture of the buildings. Wonder, perhaps, that 
 in most of them there are no windows. Note curiously that these 
 i'tructures are for the most part unbroken planes and surfaces of asbestos 
 and gypsum board and plywoods and other such materials on light steel 
 frames, rather than a parade of sculptured ornamentation. 
 
 "It would be incongruous to house exhibits showing man's progress 
 in the past century in a Greek temple of the age of Pericles, or a Roman 
 villa of the time of Hadrian," said members of the architectural com- 
 mission of the Exposition, all of whom are graduates of the ficole de 
 Beaux Arts, home of the classical school. "We are trying to show the 
 world not what has happened in the past, because that has already 
 been effectively done, but what is being done in the present, and what 
 may happen in the future." 
 
 Modern Planning 
 
 A Century of Progress considered two things in planning the types 
 of building construction you see here. First, here was a city to be 
 built staunchly for 150 days of life, not for the 30 years that is the 
 anticipated life of a modern building. Why, then, build for three 
 decades, which would be in direct contradiction to the new science of 
 
 I 22 ]
 
 business that decries waste and extravagance, when the genius of man 
 has provided factory-made parts, wall materials pre-fabricated in shops, 
 steel frames and clips and screws for quick assenibl}-, and new composi- 
 tions, all to permit the building of staunch structures, which yet can be 
 quickly razed, and the materials salvaged? And why, architects now 
 ask themselves, should Greek pillars be used when they no longer are 
 needed, as the Greeks used them, to be actual supports, or fanciful 
 ornamentations or projections be clapped onto surfaces when the prac- 
 tical reasons which caused their use originally no longer exist? 
 
 Second, in construction as well as in architecture, it was intended 
 that here should be a huge experimental laboratory, in which home 
 builders and manufacturers can study, and from which they might 
 borrow for their buildings of the future. Windowless, these buildings 
 assure, by virtue of the advancement in the science of interior lighting, 
 that on no day of the Fair, no matter how dark and gloomy, can 
 visitors be deprived of the full measure of beauty in interiors and 
 exhibits. At the same time, they may point the way for many new 
 departures in economical construction. They exemplify, too, the ad- 
 vancement which has been made in healthful, controlled, filtered venti- 
 lation. Architects and exhibitors have constant control over both light 
 and ventilation regardless of the kind or time of day. 
 
 The Fair's First Experiment 
 
 The Administration building, headquarters of the Exposition, can 
 be said to strike the keynote of the entire architectural plan. Ultra- 
 modern in design, it was here that far-reaching experiments were made 
 in unusual lighting and color effects, and in choice of construction plans 
 and materials. 
 
 The Administration building stands to the left after you enter the 
 North Entrance, an E-shaped structure clothed in ultra-marine blue,

 and yellow, with an entrance of silver, and it occupies an area of 67.000 
 square feet. The architects were Holabird & Root, and Hubert Burn- 
 ham, and Edward H. Bennett. 
 
 Stand before it, and two heroic figures symbolizing the theme of 
 the Fair — science and industry — greet your e\^es, dominating the 
 entrance. These figures were modeled in plaster by Alvin Meyer. Science 
 is symbolized by the wheel of the zodiac at its base, and industry, by 
 wheels and gears. 
 
 Enter the main entrance hall. Here is a vast room, containing the 
 world's largest photo-mural, a view of the Exposition. 
 
 A broad door opposite the entrance gives access to a corridor con- 
 necting the wings of the building and a wide stairway leading up to the 
 foyer of the trustee's room. The trustee's room is famous for its modern 
 simplicity. A high window at one end of the room commands a view of 
 the Lagoon. Northerly island and Lake Michigan. Doors open out 
 onto balconies on three sides of the room. On each side of a wide purple 
 band, the ceiling and the walls are covered with fiexwood, a veneer 
 made from Australian lacewood mounted on cloth and applied like 
 wall paper. The mural decorations are of imported inlaid veneers in 
 the original colors of the various woods used. 
 
 A long, wedge-shaped table, unique and utilitarian, occupies the 
 center of the room. Its tapering design enables each guest easily to 
 see all others at the table. 
 
 The portions of the E-shaped building devoted to offices and work- 
 rooms are arranged for the most efficient utilization of light and venti- 
 lation. The building is an experiment indicating possible trends in office 
 and factory construction. Its low cost per cubic foot, the high salvage 
 value of its materials, and its easy adaptation to everyday work, offer- 
 ing an army of employees few steps to climb with no need for elevators, 
 and giving the various offices convenient access to one another, suggest 
 many possibilities for similar structures in the future. The roof insula- 
 tion is of processed cornstalks. Asbestos cement board covers the out- 
 side walls. The inner sheathing is of plaster board. Into the two and 
 three-quarter-inch space between the outer and inner walls, an insulating 
 material of asphalt and wood was shot by pneumatic guns. The insula- 
 tion provided by these materials is said to be equal to a 13-inch brick 
 wall. These materials lend themselves to mass production, therefore, 
 greater economy, and this, together with the ease of construction cut 
 usual building costs to less than half I 
 
 In Marvels of Lishtins 
 
 Should you gasp with amazement as, with the coming of night, 
 millions of lights flash skyward a symphony of illumination, reflect again 
 that it is progress speaking with exultant voice of up-to-the-second 
 advancement. 
 
 Xobody knows how many thousands of years ago, this spot that 
 now blazes with light, was a part of vast stretches of ice. Glaciers 
 
 [25]
 
 moved sluggishly against the cold sky, and sun and moon and stars 
 were the only illumination. Centuries rolled by and man discovered 
 f:re and used it to warm his wigwams, caves, and huts. Oils from 
 animals came into use for lighting, then came kerosene; today we have 
 electricity. 
 
 And science has achieved a brilliance and skill of electric lighting 
 which, as exemplified in the buildings of the Fair, render windows and 
 skylights no longer a necessity in buildings; athletic fields can at night 
 be made as bright as day for all manner of sports; and industries profit 
 by billions through speeded-up production, and in safety, and savings 
 in materials that once were spoiled because of insufficient light to permit 
 workers to see clearly. In schools and homes and factories and offices 
 advances in methods of lighting protect and preserve the human sight, 
 and light hygiene, ray therapy and food irradiation bring renewed health 
 and vigor to people everywhere. 
 
 The Miracle oF Light

 ways. World science waits breathlessly the third exploration of the

 stratosphere by Professor Auguste Piccard and his brother Jean. They 
 will soar 10 miles or more above Soldier Field in an aluminum ball sim- 
 ilar to one on display in the Hall of Science. Who knows that they will 
 not capture some cosmic rays which will further advance the knowledge 
 
 of men. They believe it possible. 
 Crowds can study, with Professor 
 William Beebe, whose bathysphere 
 is on display, and in which he de- 
 scended 2,200 feet into the sea, the 
 light that illumines the myriad life 
 of ocean beds. They can study 
 infra-red, ultra-violet and various 
 other energy rays, and perhaps 
 catch that sense of eager expect- 
 ancy with which Science waits, 
 likely upon the threshold of a new 
 era of miracles. 
 
 It is with like feeling that illu- 
 minating engineers say they look 
 forward to illuminant development 
 following this Exposition. "Expo- 
 sitions always have been mile- 
 stones in lighting progress." 
 
 The Hall of Science Tower by Night 
 
 The chairman of the committee 
 of Westinghouse and General Elec- 
 tric, engineers that designed a part 
 of the lighting plans of the Fair, 
 says: "The Exposition of 1933 not 
 only will recall the advances during 
 the last 100 years, but will give us 
 glimpses of new developments and 
 refinements that will be common- 
 place in a few years." 
 
 \\'ithin the buildings are bor- 
 rowings from the future in inverted 
 lighting, shaded arrangements, 
 color effects, and without, a fair}'- 
 land of lighting effect on greater 
 scale and in more numerous ar- 
 rangements than the world has 
 ever seen. Back in 1893, the World 
 Fair was illuminated with 93,000 
 incandescent lights, supplemented 
 
 by 5,000 arc lights, in horse power representing three times the total 
 electric horse power then used in the entire city of Chicago. Many thou- 
 sands of visitors had never seen an incandescent light. The incandescent 
 bulb then was faint in glow, and men knew little how to use it, yet varied

 arrangements and effects were achieved that caused comment through- 
 out the civilized world, and are credited with having been responsible 
 for immediately beginning an era of illuminating progress. Two years 
 after the Fair, the study of light and its practical application was placed 
 on a scientific basis, instruments were designed to measure the intensity, 
 quality and distribution of the light flux, and the physical characteristics 
 of the light sources themselves for the first time studied. 
 
 Today, A Century of Progress is lighted also by incandescent bulbs, 
 15,000 of them for exterior illumination, and it is not even possible to 
 guess the number within the Exposition buildings and concessions. 
 They range from 10-watt to 3,000-watt power, creating a brilliancy of 
 light that, compared with what was possible in '93 is as the sun to

 morning's twilight. Arc lights, too, are used, vastly improved over 
 those of 40 years ago. One battery of arc lights alone, 24 powerful 
 search lights at the South end of the Fair grounds, has a light output 
 of 1,920.000,000 candle power! 
 
 It is anticipated that the total current consumption for the period 
 of the Fair will reach 18 million kilowatt-hours. 
 
 Scientifically controlled clear light predominates for the outdoor 
 lighting, its effect on the brilliant color of the buildings achieving its 
 beauty, while colored lighting is used for special displays, fountains and 
 simulations of cascading water falls, or brilliant skies at sunset, or varied 
 interesting patterns that illuminating science now finds possible and 
 profusely indoors. 
 
 Colored Lisht in Tubes 
 
 A new kind of illumination has come, and in the Century of Progress 
 it is used in greater profusion than ever the world has seen. When 
 President Dawes of the Exposition threw the switch on June 12, 1932, 
 that first lighted the Hall of Science, the largest amount of gaseous tubes 
 ever used on any one surface sprang to life. As you mingle with the 
 throngs at night, you stand in the greatest flood of colored light that 
 any equal area, or any city of the world has ever produced. 
 
 This color lighting is that of rare-gas tubes. You see it in blue, 
 green, and yellow in countless signs and on billboards in letters and 
 varied designs on your streets at home, in cities and towns and villages. 
 This new light is produced by introducing rare-gas into a tube from 
 which the air has been pumped, and the tube sealed, then a current of 
 high-voltage electricity is passed through. The color radiated from the 
 tube is determined by the element the tube contains and by the color 
 of the tube; the red by neon in clear tube, the blue by mercury in a 
 clear tube, yellow- by helium in a yellow tube, and green by mercury 
 in a yellow tube. True to the Fair's purpose of presenting achievements, 
 and showing their how, you can go to the Electric Building and watch 
 these gaseous tubes being charged, and bent into the shapes required. 
 
 From fireless night to the greatest display of light humans have eve 
 seen is the span of progress A Century of Progress depicts for its visitors 
 and men who remember the feeble light of the coal oil lamp, or who 
 have sat beside the flickering candle flame, may gaze and exclaim that 
 here is illumination at its apex. But science marches on. Here, per- 
 haps, is only a hint of what the future may produce. 
 
 [29]
 
 The Basic Sciences 
 
 We shall suppose that the visitor has acquainted himself, in a gen- 
 eral way, with the location of the park in which the Century of Progress 
 Exposition has been built. This is a highly interesting bit of land, a 
 space of four hundred and twenty-four acres, rescued from the lake 
 since the Columbian Exposition of 1893. We shall suppose further that 
 the visitor is entering the grounds at the northern gate, just east of the 
 Field INIuseum, and that he walks south along that portion of Leif Eric- 
 son drive which is now known as the Avenue of Flags. This brings him, 
 in about five or ten minutes, to the Hall of Science, a beautiful struc- 
 ture designed by Paul Cret of Philadelphia. 
 
 Here are housed the exhibits which illustrate the things that men are 
 now thinking about in the various branches of learning known as the 
 pure sciences. 
 
 Mr. Cret's problem was to build a structure which would lie directly 
 across the Leif Ericson drive and extend down to the edge of the water in 
 the lagoon. This problem he solved by making the northern front a 
 graceful circular arc of high pylons extending a welcome to each 
 approaching visitor. The rest of the building is in the shape of a U with 
 the arms of the U extending to the water's edge and enclosing a court 
 of three acres. The building itself covers an area of more than eight 
 acres; something like 400,000 square feet. 
 
 Two floors are used for exhibiting the basic sciences which, for con- 
 venience of operation, are grouped under the following seven heads: 
 mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, geology and 
 medicine. 
 
 The ground floor, which is on the same level with the surroimding 
 park, is devoted to medicine and industrial applications of science. 
 
 The main floor, which is approached by a gentle ramp from the 
 north, also by a viaduct from the industrial buildings on the south, is 
 given over entirely to the basic sciences with the exception of medicine 
 and astronomy. Since, however, astronomy is so splendidly represented 
 in the Adler Planetarium, under the direction of Professor Philip Fox, 
 the main floor of the Hall of Science is devoted to the remaining six 
 of the basic sciences. 
 
 Mathematics, "Queen of the Sciences" 
 
 Let us suppose that the visitor enters from the circular terrace, on 
 the north side of the building, through the center of the pylons. He 
 emerges into an octagonal room where he is at once confronted by an 
 illustrated story of mathematics through the ages. The tale is told by 
 
 [30]
 
 31]
 
 means of four projection lanterns, one for each of the four great fields 
 into which modern mathematics is divided. Turning to the right and 
 walking west, one meets various other mathematical demonstrations 
 which have been prepared under the direction of Captain F. H. Roberts, 
 U.S.X., and Major C. L. Fordney, U.S.M.C., who have had charge of 
 the section of mathematics from the beginning. The visitor here will be 
 well repaid by an examination of the beautiful and accurate surfaces of 
 Mr. C. E. Johansson and the exquisite models of Dr. Saul Pollock. He 
 will here have an opportunity to see how trigonometry is used in navi- 
 gation and how various other branches of mathematics are employed 
 in our daily work. 
 
 Celestial navigation is illustrated by an ingenious animated exhibit 
 which will also show fundamentals of "piloting" or navigation in sight 
 of land or lights. 
 
 The velocity of light is a quantity which is of major importance. 
 The work of Professor Michelson in determining this value is well 
 known. In his calculations a machine called "Michelson's Harmonic 
 Analyzer" was used. This historic mathematical instrument is on dis- 
 play in the mathematical section. 
 
 The Galton Quincunx is the imposing title given to one exhibit in 
 which probability curves are formed by ball bearings deviated in their 
 fall by steel pegs in "penny slot machine" fashion. Another exhibit is 
 one in which the probability of a rod falling on any one of a group of 
 parallel lines is used to determine experimentally the value of that oft 
 encountered quantity given in the elementary school texts as 3.1416, 
 the universal symbol of which is the Greek letter pi. 
 
 "The Sieve of Eratosthenes" is the classical name given to a device 
 which utilizes a beam of light and a photoelectric cell to determine the 
 prime factors of numbers. Struggles with elementary arithmetic will be 
 recalled with a sigh as the visitor marvels at the rapidity with which 
 Dr. D. N. Lehmer's machine takes numbers apart. 
 
 Professor Theodore Soller of Amherst College has loaned to the 
 mathematical section his machine for the composition of Simple Har- 
 monic Motions. The beautiful curves may be made by the visitor 
 himself. The "heterod5me" of radio is one of the interesting curves 
 produced. 
 
 A magic square, which will print on a slip of paper a number which 
 one has in mind, is a feature of "Mathematical Recreations." A happy 
 family of ellipses (though their foci be apart) is another animated 
 exhibit. The dairy farmer who has wondered, while turning the crank 
 of his "separator," over what was going on inside the machine will be 
 able to see centripetal force "on the job." The gyroscopic action of 
 atoms is shown by the magnitization of an iron rod when rotated 
 rapidly. 
 
 On the main floor is a modern gyroscopic compass in operation. 
 One "repeater" which indicates the direction given by the main "gyro" 
 is installed on the Balcony of the Great Hall and another is in the 
 
 [Z2\
 
 mathematical booths. The "control" board with its motor generator is 
 installed on the balcony. 
 
 Exhibits showing how correct time is obtained and transmitted, 
 loaned by the U. S. Naval Observatory, may be seen on the balcony. 
 A companion exhibit prepared by the Xavy shows the "Developmental 
 History of Radio Communication." One hundred and forty-one years 
 of mathematical development from D'Alembert's equation of wave 
 motion in 1747 to the beginning of the experimental stage by Professor 
 Hertz is portrayed in a way understandable to the layman. 
 
 The kingdom of Italy has loaned to the mathematical section a 
 collection of original instruments used by Marconi in his early experi- 
 ments with "wireless." 
 
 The application of Bernoulli's theorem to aerodynamics is shown 
 by models in a wind tunnel, prepared by the National Advisory Com- 
 mittee on Aeronautics and exhibited on the Balcony of the Great Hall. 
 
 The service to mankind of mathematics, its progress as this service 
 is being performed and its fostering of an appreciation of the view^ taken 
 by Jacobi, "the ultimate end of mathematics is the greater glory of the 
 human mind," is the mission of the mathematical exhibits of A Century 
 of Progress. 
 
 The Story of Physics 
 
 Passing toward the west, along the main aisle, one comes to the 
 section on physics, under the direction of Dr. Gordon S. Fulcher who 
 has presented in groups the essential phenomena of modern physics. 
 
 The Great Hall of the Hall of Science
 
 The ninety exhibits are arranged in sequence on tables live feet high, 
 enabling all to see each exhibit before going on to the next. 
 
 Plow does the air in tires hold up so much weight? Why does 
 steam exert pressure when in contact with heated water? How can 
 electric power produce cold in refrigerators? Why are water drops 
 round and why are crystals regular in shape? These are some of the 
 cjuestion the exhibits on molecular physics will answer. For instance, 
 the exhibits include a working model with steel balls instead of molecules 
 showing how pressure is due to bombardment of the walls by molecules 
 which have the speed of rifle bullets. An intermittent fountain, a 
 balloon alternately expanding and collapsing under a bell jar, an engine 
 with glass cylinders operated by electrical heat, icicles formed by 
 evaporation, drops four inches in diameter, an umbrella shaped water 
 film and other exhibits will be found interesting and instructive. 
 
 The exhibits in the sound section will explain how sounds are 
 produced, how sound waves travel; when resonance occurs, what deter- 
 mines the pitch of a sound, how speech sounds differ and how talking 
 films reproduce sounds. The visitor will see a large tuning fork 
 apparently vibrating very slowly through a large amplitude; he will 
 hear four tubes of different lengths singing in succession and will see at 
 the same time the images of the vibrating flames within the tubes, 
 reflected by a rotating mirror as flaming saw teeth; he will see a 
 magnified image of the sound track on a movie film and at the same time 
 hear the corresponding sound. In the final exhibit of this group, speech 
 sounds will be transmitted on a light beam which the visitor may 
 intercept if he wishes. 
 
 The great discoveries upon which is based the astonishing develop- 
 ment of the great electrical industry of today explain the fundamental 
 principles of the dynamo, transformer and motor. We cannot tell why 
 an electric current affects a magnet or why a moving magnet may 
 induce a current in a nearby coil; but the exhibits demonstrate these 
 effects and show how modern electrical machinery makes use of these 
 experimentally discovered principles. 
 
 By the use of lenses in telescopes and microscopes the eye is enabled 
 on the one hand to see glories of the heavens, otherwise invisible, and on 
 the other to study the minute structure of metals and microbes. The 
 refraction or bending of rays of light by means of a lens is shown in an 
 exhibit, also the way in which a lens forms an image. Another exhibit 
 shows how eyeglasses correct defects of the lens of the eye. 
 
 The beautiful colors of soap films tell us that light is a wave motion 
 similar to radio and that the frequency of vibration of green light is 
 higher than that of red. An exhibit shows in a simple way how we 
 know that the wave-length of light is about twenty millionths of an inch. 
 
 Other exhibits show beautiful colors produced by sending polarized 
 light through a sugar solution or a crystal. Light from an arc and 
 from neon tubes is analyzed into the component spectrum colors. 
 
 The electric eye, or photoelectric cell, is a modern genie produced by 
 
 [34]
 
 scientific research. Exhibits show the fundamental phenomenon and 
 also applications to the reproduction of sound. Without the photo- 
 electric cell, television would be impossible. 
 
 The electron and the proton, tiniest of particles, cannot be seen 
 individually, but when given speeds of 100 to 100,000 miles a second 
 they are called cathode, canal, alpha, or beta rays, and produce effects 
 which can be seen. E.xhibits show luminous effects due to cathode and 
 canal rays in vacuum tubes, also tracks of single alpha rays from radium, 
 and the properties of x-rays which are produced when cathode rays 
 strike a target. Finally a "hodoscope" will show the paths of individual 
 cosmic rays by means of flashing neon lamps. 
 
 Instruments of Exploration 
 
 If now, instead of going down the ramp to the floor below, one turns 
 and enters the great room in the Hall of Science his eye is at once 
 caught by two large exhibits on the main axis. One of these is a pair of 
 globes. The lower of the two is the steel sphere in which William Beebe 
 and his companion descended one-half mile below the surface of the 
 ocean; the upper globe is the gondola in which Auguste Piccard 
 ascended into the earth's atmosphere to a distance of more than ten 
 miles. 
 
 At the south end of the room is a collection of the building stones of 
 which the earth is composed, that is, the ninety-three chemical elements. 
 Their source and use will also be shown. Above this display is a 10-foot 
 rotating terrestial globe representing our planet and showing the chief 
 source of the common chemicals. 
 
 The inscriptions on the walls of this large room are worthy of 
 careful study by any one at all interested in any phase of science. Over 
 ai'ainst the east wall are six pieces of apparatus, each of which sets forth 
 
 A Diorama of the late Jurassic Age. Dioramas pictures in three dimensions- 
 are used in hundreds of displays at A Century of Progress Exposition. 
 The foreground is modeled in true perspective to blend with a 
 painted background 
 
 [35 1
 
 a distinct and recent achievement in physical or biological science. 
 Each deserves careful observation; for it is not every day that one has 
 an opportunity to make the acquaintance of a gyroscopic compass or to 
 view a model of the Bohr atom at close range. 
 
 Chemistry and Its Application 
 
 Along the west wall, under the balcony, is shown the science of 
 chemistry by means of a series of exhibits which are at once funda- 
 mental, valuable and interesting. They connect immediately with 
 important industrial applications shown on the floor below. 
 
 The three fundamental types of chemical processes are shown — 
 chemical change by combination, by separation, and by exchange. 
 \'arious methods of producing these chemical changes are also shown. 
 
 The application of chemistry to our raw materials is forcefully 
 demonstrated. The development of petroleum from the dirty muck to 
 a clear, white gasoline; the transformation of rubber latex to finished 
 rubber goods; the utilization of air for production of oxygen and rare 
 gases; the change of the undesirable by-product coal-tar to beautiful 
 dyes, medicinals, and plastics; the harnessing of electric power for the 
 production of steel, acetylene, and chromium plating; and even the 
 chemical utilization of our foods in the human body are strikingly 
 portrayed in clear and readily understood manners. These clever 
 demonstrations were designed mainly by Dr. Irving E. Muskat who 
 has been in charge of the chemical section. 
 
 Before leaving the great room the visitor will find it well worth while 
 to read the fourteen quotations on the east wall, the nineteen inspiring 
 names on the front of the balcony and the nine groups of scientific 
 achievement inscribed on the west wall. 
 
 Dynamic Exhibit Showing Thermit Reaction 
 
 [36]
 
 The Science of Life 
 
 The spectacular exhibit that represents the science of biology in the 
 great central hall is a mechanical representation of a section of a bass- 
 wood twig, seven and one-half feet in diameter. As you stand before 
 it, you see it attain before your eyes, a year's growth in 75 seconds. 
 The demonstration is performed by means of a series of plates and 
 canvasses on a moving model, showing the direction and amount of 
 growth of wood and bast. 
 
 If, on leaving the great hall, the visitor strolls toward the east (which 
 here always means toward the lake), he will find before him the whole 
 story of modern biology presented through experimental evidence. This 
 section has been under the guidance of Dr. J. F. W. Pearson. 
 
 Moving models of the developed human being show the finished 
 physical machine in its internal action. A life-sized model of a man 
 explains the circulation of the blood, with a magnified heart pumping, 
 showing the action of its valves. A simplified mechanical reproduction 
 of the digestive system will portray the absorption of food elements by 
 the body. 
 
 The cell theory of plant and animal-life is illustrated by some 
 exquisite drawings by Mr. Walter A. Weber; while the storage of food 
 in the cells of a corn-plant is shown in a dynamic model which sets 
 forth very clearly just what sunlight does for a plant. In the south 
 wing of the Hall of Science will also be found the rare screen-pic- 
 tures by Mr. George Roemmert in 
 which he projects for his audience, 
 not a series of lantern slides or 
 films, but those minute forms of 
 actual living animals and plants 
 just as they would be seen by an 
 observer looking through a micro- 
 scope of very considerable power. 
 
 Modern views of inheritance, 
 the evidence for evolution and the 
 physiology of the human frame are 
 presented in a concrete way that 
 demands careful study. 
 
 The traveler will now do well 
 to return to the north wing of the building, entering the balcony at its 
 south stairway, observing the mathematical display and the library of 
 one thousand volumes and then descending from the balcony by the 
 northern stairway to the main fioor. 
 
 Geolo3y and Its Services 
 
 He will now find it but a few steps through the octagonal hall, where 
 he entered, to the exhibits of the geological section which has been 
 under the able leadership of Professor Carey Croneis of the University 
 
 [37] 
 
 Mechanism lor Artificial "Growing 
 Twig" in Biology Exhibit
 
 of Chicago. Here, in the study of the earth's crust, one discovers how 
 all the other sciences have been pressed into service to diagnose condi- 
 tions in the interior of the earth, to locate valuable metals, to predict 
 where petroleum will be found, to show, in brief, how all our present 
 landscapes and geography have resulted from erosion by rivers of ice, 
 from deposition by rivers of water, and by shearing and compressional 
 forces still operating over large areas. 
 
 The ''Clock of the Ages" 
 
 The science of geology is epitomized by a giant "Clock of the Ages" 
 which ticks off the two billion years or more of the earth's history on 
 a conventional clock dial. Geological pictures appear on a screen in the 
 center of the clock face, and they are described by a synchronized 
 phonographic record. The visitor also sees operating models demon- 
 strating the formation of mountain ranges, the growth and activities of 
 volcanoes and the eruption of geysers. Further, he is initiated into the 
 mysteries of earthquakes and the ingenious manner in which man has 
 forced them to write their own records. A large group of spectacular 
 displays of similar type, representing earth features such as the Yellow- 
 stone Geysers, the Grand Canyon and the Carlsbad Caverns, are be'ng 
 furnished by the National Parks Service. 
 
 The romance of oil is revealed in a great sequence of operating 
 exhibits sponsored by the American Petroleum Industries. These 
 displays cover every phase of oil and gas production. Other exhibits 
 explain man's modern, almost magical, methods of locating the deeply 
 buried raw products which formed the basis for his century of progress. 
 
 Science in Industry 
 
 Everywhere the visitor turns — here, and throughout the Fair — he 
 finds the application of science's discoveries in industrial benefits for 
 humankind. For example, the visitor sees a real rubber tree brought all 
 the way from Africa, from which the rubber latex seems to flow naturally. 
 He sees the coagulation of rubber with formic acid, and then its electro- 
 plating — a relatively new process carried out by combining the elec- 
 trically neutral rubber with carbon, so that it can be deposited by an 
 electric current on the linings of chemical receptacles, tanks, and the 
 like. There is shown also the vulcanizing of rubber, and the nature and 
 uses of accelerators, pigments, and anti-oxidents in the processing of 
 various kinds of rubber. 
 
 Again, industry shows the actual process by which coal tar is trans- 
 formed by chemistry into dyes; how perfumes, and medicines, including 
 antiseptics and anodynes, and T. N. T., and other things, are made 
 from the 12 primary substances which coal tar contains. 
 
 Thus, the visitor sees the fundamentals of science, and then sees 
 their step-by-step progress to the finished product that contributes so 
 much to his well-being, and comfort, and health.

 The Story oF Medicine 
 
 Descending now to the ground floor, preferably along the easy ramp 
 leading down from the north wing of the main floor, one finds himself 
 
 in the midst of the 
 three important 
 branches of medical 
 science, namely medi- 
 cine, dentistry and 
 pharmacology. Here, 
 too, one finds a science 
 which uses the best 
 there is in each of the 
 other sciences and then 
 some. Dr. E. J. Carey, 
 who has managed the 
 collection and installa- 
 tion of these exhibits, 
 has depended mainly 
 upon the various insti- 
 tutions, such as uni- 
 versities, clinics and 
 scientific societies. No 
 exhibit in the entire 
 building has more of 
 human interest or is 
 more cosmopolitan in 
 character than these 
 rooms in the north end 
 of the ground floor de- 
 voted to the detection, 
 the cure and the pre- 
 vention of our bodily 
 ills. 
 
 At the east end of 
 the ground floor there 
 stands a giant man. He 
 is six feet tall, and rises 
 from a pedestal three 
 and one-half feet high. 
 He is transparent. As 
 though you were sud- 
 denly endowed with X-Ray eyes you may view the inside of the human 
 body. 
 
 This transparent man, composed of cellon, and brought to A Century 
 of Progress from Dresden, Germany, is one of only two in the world, 
 and required 18 months to make. He cost ? 10.000. He properly 
 begins the story of the science of medicine in this theater of the sciences. 
 
 [391. 
 
 The Transparent Man
 
 An exhibit of the great Pasteur, sent by the Pasteur Institute from 
 France, looms to your right, as you stand facing the Transparent Man. 
 This exhibit, an illuminated map of the world supplemented by photo- 
 graphs, tells the story of the life of Louis Pasteur, and some of his 
 accomplishments. 
 
 To the right, you will see an exhibit sent from Germany by the 
 Robert Koch Institute, which displays the life and the work of the great 
 man who discovered the tubercle bacillus in 1882, and started medical 
 science upon its studied campaign against tuberculosis. 
 
 Eyes left, and you see a remarkable exhibit of the Wellcome Research 
 Institution from England. It tells the story of the work of Sir Henry 
 Wellcome, American, who fought the mosquito in Africa and won, and 
 laid the way for extermination of yellow fever. The Wellcome His- 
 torical Exhibit, a museum in itself, shows you dioramas that illustrate 
 epoch-making events in British medicine and surgery. 
 
 Northwest of the Transparent Man, the Italian exhibits show you 
 Italy's great pioneers of the three basic medical sciences — pathology, 
 anatomy, and physiology — respectively, Leonardo de Vinci, Morgagni, 
 Spallanzani. With models and apparatus they tell you something of 
 how these men, and Galvani, and Malpighi, and Vesalius, lit the lights 
 by which the men who came after them charted their course, for the 
 welfare of mankind. 
 
 Northeast of the Transparent Man are exhibits recording medical 
 triumphs of research workers in the ignited States. Austria, Holland, 
 Canada add their contributions, and you have an absorbing, yet colorful 
 story to study, and to carry away with you for a lifetime of reflection. 
 Thus, the Transparent Man stands as a symbol of world medicine, 
 a common denominator of the nations. 
 
 You may see in the Austrian exhibits the work of Austrian scientists, 
 and in those of Holland the structure and function of the nervous 
 system told in a simple, dramatic way. In the Canadian section, McGill 
 University, through murals, transparencies, and photographs, portrays 
 the history of James McGill, and the development of the Montreal 
 General Hospital and its work, and of the work of Sir W'illiam Osier. 
 
 It was at McGill University that the first surgical X-Ray photo- 
 graph was taken, two months after Roentgen announced his discovery 
 in 1895. The photograph itself is shown. 
 
 You can go back to 1550 B. C. and read descriptions of more than 
 700 different remedies for human diseases, in the exhibits of the Amer- 
 ican Pharmaceutical Association. You can watch the antics of an 
 Indian medicine man, practicing his primitive medicine, in the exhibits 
 of the Milwaukee Public Museum. Marquette University of Milwaukee 
 shows you a history of Bright's disease, and the progress medicine has 
 made to prevent and cure it. 
 
 The .American Medical Association shows you the progress of 
 medicine in the last 100 years — the old saddle-bag doctor who went his 
 lonely way, measuring out his meager doses in sparsely settled sections, 
 
 [40]
 
 and the physician and surgeon of today and his highly technical equip- 
 ment. The American Society for the Control of Cancer shows you the 
 advance science has made to frustrate the ravages of this dread disease; 
 the Chicago Municipal Sanitarium and the Chicago Tuberculosis Insti- 
 tute tell you of the strides that have been made to subject this disease 
 to control, and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation shows you motion 
 pictures illustrating the discovery of the circulation of the blood by 
 Harvey in 1628, and of blood transfusion, and of the functions of the 
 thyroid, suprarenal, pituitary, and other glands. 
 
 It's difficult to believe that Oliver Wendell Holmes had to fight to 
 persuade the public that doctors should exercise cleanliness in child- 
 birth, but Harvard University tells this story in its exhibits. 
 
 Dr. Crawford W. Long of Georgia first used ether in 1842, and the 
 University of Georgia tells you the story and shows you the develop- 
 ment of the use of anesthetics in modern surgery. 
 
 The Mayo Foundation develops three themes in its extensive 
 displays: 1. Diseases of the digestive tract; 2. The thyroid gland; 
 3. The sympathetic nervous system. 
 
 A striking exhibit, expressive of the progress of medicine in the last 
 century, is that of the Chicago Board of Health. In 1849 the general 
 death rate was 73.8 per 1,000 persons, in 1932 it was 9.8. The typhoid 
 fever death rate in 1891 was 173.8 per 100,000, today it has an amaz- 
 ingly reduced rate of 0.4! The Chicago Medical Society and Woman's 
 Auxiliary show you the medical history of this youth of cities. The 
 Xew York City Cancer Committee shows you the history of the magnifi- 
 cent fight that science has waged and is waging against this malignant 
 disease, and the University of Illinois College of Medicine, College of 
 Dentistry. Department of Animal Husbandry, and the Illinois Depart- 
 ment of Public Health, give you interesting sidelights on methods of 
 treatment and causes of hay fever, tuberculosis, pneumonia, hemophilia, 
 and rabies. The Illinois Public Health Service shows contrasting pic- 
 tures of methods of sanitary handling of milk today, and of insanitary 
 methods of other days, and presents also the health conditions of 
 100 years ago, compared with those of today. 
 
 The University of Chicago presents an inspiring display showing 
 the giant strides that practical humanitarianism has made in reclaiming 
 the crippled child for work and for enjoyment. Loyola University 
 of Chicago shows the organs of the human body for easy understanding 
 and study. The University of Wisconsin shows you the work of Beau- 
 mont, the first American physiologist, whose experiments upon poor 
 Alexis St. Martin, French voyageur, up in the woods of Wisconsin, in 
 1833, contributed so largely to the advance of medical knowledge in 
 the treatment of digestive disorders. 
 
 Exhibits in Dentistry 
 
 In the large dental exposition, you will see the denture, controlled 
 by heavy springs, with which George Washington, in his later years, 
 
 [41]
 
 laboriously chewed. You may read, for a conception of the simplicity 
 of early American dentistry, the advertisement of Paul Revere, gold- 
 smith, i)rinter, engraver, and dentist, offering to make false teeth "that 
 look as well as the natural, and answer the end of speaking to all 
 intents." The development of dental science, which is typically Amer- 
 ican, is illustrated by an exhibit of equipment of the itinerant dentist 
 of 1833, and a fully equipped operating room of the period of 1933. 
 
 U. S. Public Health Service 
 
 The U. S. Public Health Service has an extensive exhibit, which 
 contributes further to the story of medicine's progress, in the U. S. 
 Government building on Northerly island. This exhibit, occupying 
 2,500 square feet of space, shows the progress made in public health 
 and sanitation since the establishment of the service. It is presented 
 in divisions and shows the work of the service in combating pellagra, 
 tularemia, undulant fever, typhus fever, spotted fever and parrot's 
 disease. The exhibits extensively demonstrate the vast efforts the 
 government has made, and the methods used, to exterminate disease. 
 
 Scientific Exhibits by Foreisn Nations 
 
 The visitor who returns to the north wing on the main floor will be 
 splendidly rewarded for time spent in the bays occupied by Italy and 
 Denmark. Each of these countries has a wealth of fundamental 
 discoveries to its credit; and these are here shown in a concrete and 
 highly interesting form — for example, a section, in replica, of the ancient 
 Roman vessel recently rescued from Lake Nemi, after two thousand 
 years under water; and a replica of the simple compass with which 
 Oersted made the brilliant discovery of electromagnetism. 
 
 The Unity of Science 
 
 A visitor who has completed a trip through the Hall of Science can 
 hardly fail to note that amidst the variety of phenomena, apparatus, 
 and processes here displayed there runs one common feature, namely, 
 the method of modern science. The problems differ, the materials 
 differ; but in every case there is clear vision as to just what the problem 
 is; this is followed by observation and arrangement of apparatus in 
 such a way as to compel Nature to give an answer. 
 
 The Adier Planetarium 
 
 In the Hall of Science, you will have seen the fundamentals of mathe- 
 matics and physics that properly lead into the science of astronomy. 
 Now you may cross over the Science Bridge, if you wish to finish the 
 story of the basic sciences all at once, turn to your left, and go to the 
 northern end of Northerly island where stands the Adler Planetarium 
 and Astronomical Museum. 
 
 This rainbow-granite building with its mushroom dome is world 
 famous, for within it is an intricate mechanism called the Zeiss projector, 
 
 [421
 
 The Adicr Planetarium 
 
 the only one in the United States, and one of only two in the world. 
 With this instrument is staged a spectacular drama of the heavens. 
 
 Once every hour, visitors are admitted to a circular room to sit 
 beneath its domed white ceiling. The light is flashed off. The ceiling 
 becomes a blue sky, sparkling with millions of stars seeming so close and 
 so real that you feel that you can reach up and touch them. 
 
 A lecturer tells you about this firmament. His pointer is a beam of 
 light. Behind him is a concealed switchboard, with which he controls 
 the apparatus. You are permitted to look ahead into the future and 
 know where the Pole Star or any other heavenly body will be situated 
 at a particular minute of a particular day decades or centuries hence. 
 You can look back into the past and see the heavens as they appeared 
 when Christ walked on earth or when Galileo studied the stars with the 
 first telescope. 
 
 Should you arrive while a lecture is in progress, you can entertain 
 yourself by strolling about the halls or exhibit rooms downstairs. The 
 Planetarium, which is under the direction of Prof. Philip Fo.x, formerly 
 of Yerkes Observatory and formerly professor of astronomy at North- 
 western University, has a wonderful collection of instruments which men 
 of science in centuries of the past have used. Four hundred years ago 
 the Strozzi family of Florence began a collection of scientific instru-

 ments, gathering and preserving those of worthy achievement. About 
 40 years ago this collection passed into the hands of Raoul Heilbronner 
 in Paris, and after the World War to W. M. Mensing in Amsterdam, 
 and from him to the Chicago museum. 
 
 Downstairs you can push a button, and see exactly how the light 
 from the star Arcturus could be caught by a photoelectric cell on 
 arrival from its 40-year journey to earth. You see a model of the 
 rotating prisms with which the late Albert Michelson of the University 
 of Chicago showed the velocity of light. 
 
 The Field Museum of Natural History 
 
 At the front door of A Century of Progress, directly west of the north 
 entrance to the Exposition, stands one of the world's greatest scientific 
 museums, the classically beautiful Field Museum of Natural History, 
 containing contemporary and ancient exhibits from all parts of the globe, 
 including the finds of many distinguished explorers. 
 
 The John G. Shedd Aquarium 
 
 Chicago has the largest and fmest aquarium in the world in the 
 John G. Shedd Aquarium, which is located near the north entrance of 
 the Exposition. Specimens from oceans, rivers, and lakes are displayed 
 amid dramatic surroundings which counterfeit the natural settings in 
 which the lish are found. 
 
 The Terrazzo Esplanade 
 
 As you leave the Planetarium, you may stand on the steps and look 
 westward down upon the Terrazzo Mosaic Esplanade, the gift of the 
 National Terrazzo Association, which will remain as a permanent 
 approach to this building that is visited by multitudes yearly. The 
 esplanade begins at the east end of the Twelfth Street bridge, which 
 connects Northerly island with the mainland at this end of the grounds, 
 and is sloped upward toward the Planetarium, so that you may look 
 down upon the beautiful mosaic patterns that lie in the bottom of 
 shallow pools — twelve of them, each representing a month of the year.

 From Wagons to Wings 
 
 It has been only sixty- four years since two sweating gangs of labor- 
 ers met near Ogden, Utah, May 10, 1869, in a thrilling race from east 
 and west, and drove the golden spike that completed the span of the 
 continent with iron bands. 
 
 At that time there were less than 40,000 miles of railroad in this 
 country. Small, slow engines yanked crude cars from coast to coast, 
 but the nation could hail them as wonderful monsters of progress. 
 Crowds came in rattly buggies to watch the trains go by, or gratefully 
 hauled produce to sidings in horse-drawn wagons, a market found at 
 last, and the "Iron Horse" pounded out the beginnings of communities. 
 cities, a wider civilization. For the first time, the west, and east, and 
 north, and south were welded together, as one great country. 
 
 Thirty-five years later, the horseless carriage chugged its way into 
 our existence. And now the cities and towns and farms were welded 
 even closer, this time by speed and convenience that made it possible 
 for farmers to get to towns and to cities, in little time, and residents of 
 cities and towns and the farms to go places whenever the whim seized 
 them. 
 
 Came then the airplane to laugh at miles, and make it possible to 
 cross the continent from sun to sun. 
 
 In less than the Biblical allotment of the years of a man's life, these 
 
 The Breathing Dome of the Travel and Transport Building 
 
 [45]
 
 modes of transportation have played a mighty part not only to permit 
 the growth of a nation, but profoundly to affect its industrial, its 
 political, its economical, even its spiritual life. 
 
 A Colorful Pageant 
 
 Just south of Thirty-first street, on the lake side, you may watch 
 the dramatization of this century of progress in transportation, the 
 pioneer in the field of communication. 
 
 On a triple stage, in an outdoor theater, two hundred actors, seventy 
 horses, seven trail wagons, ten trains, and the largest collection of his- 
 torical vehicles ever to be used, operating under their own power, pre- 
 sent "Wings of a Century." Here is the "Baltimore Clipper," the 
 fastest boat of them all, from 1825 to 1850— the "Tom Thumb," first 
 locomotive of the B. & O. — the De Witt Clinton, from the old Mohawk 
 & Hudson (New York Central) — the Thomas Jefferson (1836) of the 
 Winchester & Potomac (first railroad in Virginia) — then the old "Pio- 
 neer," the Northern Pacific engine of 1851 — a giant locomotive of today 
 — then the Wright brothers' first airplane. There is a one horse chaise, 
 like George Washington traveled in, and covered wagons and stage 
 coaches of gold rush days. 
 
 In a comfortable grandstand, with Lake Michigan for the backdrop, 
 you may review the battles wath Indians, frontier fights, the hardships 
 of the pioneers, thrilling, epic moments in the history of the winning 
 of the west which tell the story of how the waterways and the railways 
 pushed the frontiers ever westward, building a nation. 
 
 When you have viewed this panorama of transportation, you will 
 want to cross Leif Eriksen drive to the Travel and Transport building 
 
 Part of the Travel and Transport Building 
 [46]
 
 Detail Travel and Transport Building 
 
 designed by John A. Holabird, Edward H. Bennett and Hubert Burn- 
 ham, and enter its dome. 
 
 For the first time in architectural history a dome has been constructed 
 on the principle of a suspension bridge. Just as a suspension bridge 
 
 has no pillars, columns, or arches 
 to support it from below but de- 
 pends on cables to carry its load, 
 so the dome of the Travel and 
 Transport building is suspended 
 125 feet above, the ground by 
 cables attached to twelve steel 
 towers. The reason for the daring 
 use of this suspension principle was 
 the necessity for a clear, unob- 
 structed space for exhibits. The 
 result is a demonstration of how 
 the desired result may be satisfac- 
 torily achieved at a much lower 
 cost per cubic foot and we have a 
 dome with an interior diameter of 
 310 feet at the base, and 206 feet 
 clear of any obstruction. 
 
 This dome is made with joints 
 that allow for expansion and contraction as the temperature varies, 
 resulting in a variation in circumference of more than six feet. The roof 
 rises or sinks as much as eighteen inches, depending on the amount of 
 snow or atmospheric pressure on the roof. This has given rise to the 
 name, "the dome that breathes." 
 
 When your attention is turned to the exhibits themselves the first 
 thing to greet your eyes is a mammoth crown, surmounting a pillar, 
 from which four projection machines throw motion pictures upon a ring 
 of screens, 30 feet high, around the walls. This 630 feet of screen forms 
 the stage for the story, in filmed detail, of the essential contributions of 
 oil to the powering and lubricating of transportation. 
 
 You may wish to pause and see "Old Number 9," the first sleeping 
 car ever built, a little wooden car with open platforms and crude berths, 
 that looks a bit humble as it stands between two great modern Pullmans, 
 all of aluminum, and stream-lined, which are the last word in sleeping 
 car construction for 1933. But little No. 9 can be proud of its history. 
 First to be built,* it made its initial run from Bloomin'j;ton. Illinois, to 
 Chicago in 1858. And later it was a part of the train that bore the body 
 of Lincoln to Springfield for its final rest. 
 
 And here's an old stage coach, scarred by bullets and Indian arrows, 
 a Rocky Mountain stage coach that could tell many a tale of bandits 
 and redskin raids. Nearby, an original Conestoga emigrant wagon, in 
 which pioneering families slowly moved toward new and ever new 
 horizons, braving death and hunger and suffering. 
 
 [47]
 
 And here is a horse and buggy. Nearby one of the old buggy-type 
 automobiles, first of its breed, startling contrast to its modern lineage, 
 to be seen further on in the exhibits. 
 
 An original Curtiss box-kite pusher is shown, an early type of plane, 
 far cry in design and power, but not in years, from the monster planes 
 that are shown later on. 
 
 Another relic of the early days is the historic John Bull engine and 
 train, a most amusing exhibit, which was shown at Chicago's World's Fair 
 of 1893 in those days operating under its own power. 
 
 Dioramas that Talk 
 
 Passing into the rectangular section of the building you see a different 
 diorama from any you may have seen heretofore, for its figures move, 
 and speak. It is utilized to reproduce the scene of the laying of the 
 corner stone which marked the birth of the railroad system. Quaint 
 figures, in beaver hats, stocks, ruffled shirts and flaring pantaloons, 
 faithful reproductions of the fashions of the day, carry on conversation, 
 make speeches about this amazing event. 
 
 A depressed, illuminated map of a section of the globe shows by 
 flowing lines of light the national and international trade routes served 
 by a single railroad system, while paintings tell the story of transporta- 
 tion in the development of civilization. 
 
 Near the southern entrance of the building Is the giant electric 
 locomotive of the world. When you have walked through its cab, and 
 examined the intricacies of its machinery, you may turn to the cherished 
 old "Pioneer," first locomotive ever to run out of Chicago. Just the 
 length of the tender. It stands on a piece of old style, light-weight 
 track in front of a huge painting of its modern successor. 
 
 You will be interested also in the displays of the varied types of road- 
 beds, specimens of ties, and track ballast, that indicate provisions made 
 for safety and comfort in traveling. 
 
 Have you ever rolled smoothly into a great city at night, myriad 
 lights making a maze of miles of track? And wondered how in the 
 world trains could enter and leave, all on schedule, without confusion? 
 Talking pictures in color tell you that story of the inside working of 
 railroad operation. 
 
 The great Southwest is a land of romance, and a series of elaborate 
 dioramas show the progress of this vast section of the country in the 
 past 100 years. The dioramas tell the tale of cotton, livestock, wheat 
 and oil. Young, dynamic, bustling cities of this section are shown with 
 other dioramas. A map of Glacier National park is alive with miniature 
 trains in operation. 
 
 And a Story of the Old Rough Days 
 
 Pony express riders once spurred their mounts across the plains, 
 braving dangers of bandits and Indians, and writing a colorful history. 
 Seven paintings depict this story. 
 
 On tracks, under roof, are a glass-lined, steel refrigerated milk tank 
 
 [48]
 
 car, built for speed to rush milk iresh and sweet to modern homes, far 
 cry from the old horse-drawn milk, wagon, and tin milk cans. Also are 
 exhibited a model refrigerated meat car and a dry-flow tank car for 
 products such as cement and soda ash. 
 
 The Automobile Link 
 
 A "glass automobile'' makes a striking exhibit, showing through nine 
 panels of glass the parts of the machine in action while an electric 
 fountain illuminates them with colors. 
 
 The Age of Aviation 
 
 A great illuminated map tells one in swift summation the amazing 
 growth of aviation since its comparatively recent birth, showing a lighted 
 network of airways serving forty-four states, and dramatically exhibiting 
 the night flying operations. The map illustrates the increase in travel 
 by air since 1926, when 4,600,000 miles were flown, to 1932, when 
 50,000,000 miles were flown, 40 per cent of which was night flying. 
 This map and other exhibits of flying service are sponsored by the air 
 mail-passenger operators of the United States. 
 
 Different types of plane, both for domestic and foreign service, are 
 on display. 
 
 The Aid of Oil 
 
 In the Great Hall is shown a complete oil well derrick, demonstrating 
 the underground work, a rotary bit biting down through the layers of 
 rock and sand. The chassis of an automobile is cut away to show 
 motor car lubrication, and a spectacular clanging of gongs, and shrill 
 of sirens, and whirling wheels of a fire engine add life to this section 
 of the exhibit space. 
 
 Striking Exhibits in Outdoor Area 
 
 South of the Travel and Transport building, is an outdoor area for 
 exhibits. You can see one of the fastest and most luxurious trains in 
 all of Europe, the "Royal Scot," crack train of the London, Midland 
 
 and Scottish railway. This 
 train makes the run from 
 London to Edinburgh in 
 eight hours regularly. 
 
 On one side of the 
 "Royal Scot" stands a 
 gigantic Chicago, Burling- 
 ton and Quincy locomotive 
 at the head of a V. S. 
 Railway Postoffice car. 
 chair car, diner, two 
 sleepers and solarium 
 lounge car. 
 
 [49] 
 
 The "Royal Scot'
 
 Dining Salon — Private Train of the President of Mexico 
 
 On the other side of the British train are the air conditioned cars of 
 the Baltimore and Ohio Capitol Limited, representing the eastern roads 
 of the United States. 
 
 On the next track are the palatial special coaches of the Presidential 
 train of the Republic of Mexico, which are considered by many to be 
 the most luxuriously furnished cars in the world. On display in one 
 of the cars of this train is a priceless collection of jewels, the famous 
 Monte Alban gems. These gems have been traced back, to early 
 lapidaries of the ancient Mexican civilization. They comprise ornaments 
 of jade, jet, ivory, amber, bone, and the like, set in gold, recently 
 recovered from ruins and rubble. 
 
 One of the largest freight locomotives in the world is shown by the 
 Delaware and Hudson railroad. 
 
 A demonstration of mine rescue equipment and its use is shown 
 nearby, in a U. S. Bureau of Mines rescue car, and General Steel Cast- 
 ings company show a new type gondola car of unique construction. 
 
 A Tractor Run by Radio 
 
 A farm tractor crawls about a two-acre field, controlled in its 
 maneuvering solely by radio, from a switchboard at the edge of the 
 iield. This is the exhibit of the International Harvester company, 
 which also shows operation of cultivating and harvesting machinery on 
 simulated crops. Demonstrations of trench and ditching machinery are 
 given on the demonstration field by the Barber-Greene com.pany. 
 
 [50]
 
 A Glass Tower Parking Place 
 
 A glass tower of the Xash Motors is a spectacular feature of the 
 outdoor exhibit. This parking tower, built by the Whiting corporation,, 
 cooperating with Nash Motors, is eighty feet tall, and it carries sixteen 
 cars, each car in a pocket, its full height. Colored lights bathe the 
 tower, and Xash cars pass up and down in continuous movement, bring- 
 ing each car into a glass-fronted show room at the tower's base. 
 
 General Motors Building 
 
 The part that automotive engineering has played in our civilization 
 is graphically represented in the General Motors building. 
 
 It stands on rising ground at the foot of Thirty-first street in the 
 midst of a lovely, formal garden surrounded by willows and with Lake 
 Michigan as its background. 
 
 The building is an eighth of a mile long and 306 feet wide, sur- 
 mounted by a 177-foot tower, brilliantly colored, and illuminated. It 
 was designed by Albert Kahn. The entrance hall divides two main 
 display rooms, each containing 18,000 square feet. Here the cars of 
 General Motors are on exhibition. In one of the rooms the General 
 ^Motors Research laboratories present a display of their own. 
 
 The central feature of the building is a complete automobile assembly 
 plant, to the rear of the display rooms, where 1,000 people at a time 
 may witness the assembly of automobiles. Raw materials enter through 
 one door and by the time they reach the opposite exit, they have become 
 finished cars. A visitor may select the materials for his car as it enters 
 the door, follow its progress along the assembly line, and get in and 
 drive it off at the other side of the room.

 products, a theater for the presentation of sound films, rest rooms and 
 spacious lounge rooms are among the features of this building. 
 
 The Chrysler Building 
 
 Rising just north of the Travel and Transport building is the 
 Chrysler building, with its lofty pylons giving it a commanding pres- 
 ence. You will be charmed by the contrast its modern architecture 
 presents to the ages old Maya temple across the drive, and by the 
 interesting counter-balance it presents to the dome of the Travel and 
 Transport building. In the circular section of the building are dis- 
 played the latest models of the Corporation's various cars, together with 
 cross sections of motors, demonstrations of tests for heat, cold and water 
 resistance of motors. 
 
 The terrace connecting this portion of the building with the display 
 room at the north end offers an excellent vantage point for viewing the 
 endurance and other tests which will be made on the proving ground to 
 the west and serves as a roof for the space in which visitors will be 
 permitted to inspect those automobiles which have been submitted to 
 experiment. 
 
 The Chrysler Motors Building 
 
 [52
 
 The Servant That Has Transformed 
 The World 
 
 Move southward along the shore of the lagoon, on Northerly island, 
 from the Twelfth Street side, or cross Science Bridge, at Sixteenth 
 street, and you will come to a circular court above which rises a bril- 
 liant silver fan of light. 
 
 In the court a fountain sends 
 up iridescent jets of illuminated 
 water in a series of multi-colored 
 steps. Out of the center of the 
 fountain rises a 70-foot canopy. 
 The under side, of hammered cop- 
 per, chromium plated, reflects the 
 color and disseminates it, and 
 achieves a superb beauty. 
 
 This is the court of the Elec- 
 trical building. The great building 
 itself, in semi-circular form behind 
 the court, connects with the Radio 
 and Communication building. A 
 group of pylons rises, with a giant 
 bas-relief panel on either side, forty 
 feet high, on which figures are 
 sculptured in such mammoth size 
 as to suggest the enormous forces 
 they symbolize. One represents 
 Atomic Energy, bearing the inscription: Energy is the substance o] all 
 tilings — the cycles of the atoms, the play oj the elements are in forms 
 cast as by a mighty hand to become the world's foundations. The other 
 panel symbolizes Stellar Energy, and bears the inscription: Light is the 
 beginning of all things. From the utmost ether it issues, shaping the 
 stars, answering in its patterns to the majesty of creative thought. 
 
 There is an entrance here, which leads to a great circular hall. 
 .\nother entrance is on the west side from a water gateway, flanked by 
 two huge pylons more than 100 feet high, and a wide stairway leading up 
 to the hall. This water gateway provides a landing for visitors who 
 come from the mainland by water across the lagoon. On these pylons 
 also are sculptured figures. Light on the north pylon, Sound on the 
 south one. Perhaps, if you come from the Hall of Science, where you 
 are told that electricity is simply the movement of electrons, migrating 
 away from the infinitesimal atom, the dazzling spectacle of Electrical 
 
 [53] 
 
 The Water Gate of the 
 Electrical Building
 
 Court, and the illumination of its buildings, and the vast and spectacular 
 compositions of light that flood the Fair may awe you by the very 
 stupendousness of the story electricity tells in this phase alone of its 
 myriad activities. 
 
 But the story within these two buildings, of which Raymond Hood 
 was architect, is more stupendous still. 
 
 You Enter the Great Halls 
 
 Twenty companies share the great hall, with a wide variety of 
 exhibits, many spectacular. Here, for example, you will see demon- 
 strated the new "fever machine," a gift of science to medicine with 
 which hospitals are experimenting now, in the hope that it will be of 
 
 Left— Lisht,

 Right — Energy,

 incalculable value in the treatment of many diseases. Photoelectric 
 tubes — the "electric eyes" we have seen demonstrated so startlingly 
 throughout the Fair — are made to do tricks that demonstrate countless 
 possibilities. 
 
 A high frequency furnace is shown, and you see a new blade quickly 
 melted, while the hand which holds it, in the same furnace, is uninjured. 
 
 [ 54 1
 
 You see an incandescent light no larger than a grain of wheat, a 
 marvelous aid to surgeons. Also the world's largest incandescent lamp, 
 of 50 kilowatts. You see sun lamps as they are used in the poultry 
 industry, and in hospitals, schools and offices. 
 
 Beneath the floor, seen through a glass walk, a model section of the 
 world's largest water-wheel generator rotates in a flood of light. Again, 
 here is a huge model of a transformer, the largest ever built. There are 
 extensive displays of electrical equipment and lighting effects, model 
 kitchens, model laundries. Models of great ocean liners are paired with 
 an open model of the electrical equipment that propels such liners. 
 
 An Amazing Diorama 
 
 On the mezzanine, the largest diorama in the world tells you a thrill- 
 ing, inspiring story. Suddenly the great scene, 90 feet long, leaps into 
 life. Reservoirs in the mountains take the flow from moving rivers, 
 turbines begin to spin, across the plains lights in lonely ranch and farm 
 houses glow in the dusk; the movement races on into a city that takes 
 on life, the streets imbued with activities inspired by great industries, 
 tall sky-scrapers, homes and hospitals, stores and factories, theaters, 
 churches, rushing elevated trains and subways. A steam electric-gener- 
 ating station with switchyards leading into it, and trains running; an air- 
 port, and planes live. On to another city, from coal mines to farms, to 
 quarries, to many other phases of industry now served by electric power 
 goes the precious current. 
 
 A voice speaks out of the darkness, explaining. And thus, in moving 
 drama, you get the story of electricity from its generation, to its varied 
 service of dispelling darkness, driving machines, and serving households 
 in myriad ways, made possible by hydro-electric transmission. The first 
 hydro-electric station in the United States was built just 50 years ago, 
 near Appleton, Wisconsin! 
 
 The diorama is a part of the Central Station Industry Exhibit, dis- 
 played by the united power station companies of the nation. 
 
 Other striking exhibits you see here on the second floor are full-sized 
 rooms of homes, showing the many uses of electricity in the home; farm 
 buildings, showing farm electrification — its uses on the farm from bug 
 killing to silo filling and powering of machinery. Five model stores tell 
 a graphic story. Electric furnaces that have made possible the utiliza- 
 tion of cast iron, and other demonstrations of the applications of elec- 
 tricity in power, heat and light in industry are shown. 
 
 A Neon Display 
 
 In space beneath the balcony you discover the absorbing process of 
 filling tubes with the rare gases that make the brilliant colored lighting, 
 so much of which you see utilized in the lighting of the Fair, and now 
 used so extensively for advertising. An electric fountain features the 
 space. Three striking demonstrations of illuminating effects tell some- 
 thing of the future possibilities of this form of lighting.

 The Radio and Communication Building 
 
 When Raymond Hood planned this building, he had in mind the 
 close relationship between communication and the industries devoted to 
 generation, utilization and distribution of electric power. He symbolized 
 their union by joining their buildings. 
 
 Leaving the great hall of the Electrical building, you step into the 
 radio show, where are demonstrated the mysteries and the fascination 
 of world-wide reception. 
 
 The small boy who has just begun to tinker with batteries and 
 receivers, or the seasoned adult who has kept up with the swift develop- 
 ment of this new science, will each find the points that interest them 
 simply and graphically told. The show culminates in a display of novel 
 and "trick" sets, and apparatus hinting of future developments. On 
 the balcony of this connecting link, also, you will see a reproduction 
 of a Hollywood movie set, and some interesting motion pictures of the 
 World's Fair itself. 
 
 Entrance to Radio and Communications Buildins 
 
 (57 1
 
 Inverted Speech and Masic Answer Board 
 
 Entering the communication area, perhaps your attention might first 
 be attracted by the "Bird Cage," where you see demonstrated what is 
 called accoustical illusions. You speak in a low pitch, but you hear it 
 high, and vice versa; you hear speech inverted so that it becomes unin- 
 telligible when received over the ordinary radio set. In another exhibit 
 you learn how privacy is obtained in radio telephone conversation. 
 Other exhibits show you the mysteries of the dial telephone, and how 
 operators handle your telephone calls. You see twelve conversations 
 carried on simultaneously over a single pair of wires, and an oscilloscope 
 shows you the wave form of spoken words, and then of musical notes. 
 
 There's a magic answer board featured in the telegraph display. 
 You push a button and get answers to your questions about telegraph 
 service. Here, too, you see an historical exhibit of the development of 
 the telegraph from Henry's electric bell of 1829, to Morse's relay and 
 register of 1844 and other developments of his genius. 
 
 Communications Garden 
 
 One of the most impressive features of this building is Communica- 
 tions Garden, fronting on the Lake Michigan side of the island, which 
 may be reached from either floor level. These gardens give a modern 
 impression of the immortal gardens of the Villa D'Este at Tivoli, near 
 Rome. In the center four gigantic pylons rise like massed cypresses, 
 more than 100 feet in the air. They will be visible far out into the lake 
 and from points in the Exposition grounds on the mainland. In the base 
 of these pylons are pavilions in which may be shown exhibits depicting 
 the history of wire communication. 
 
 Appropriate landscaping, trees, shrubs, grass, fountains and striking 
 bits of sculpture make the gardens a delightful place for people to meet 
 and keep appointments. 
 
 You may spend hours in this great building, hours of fascination and 
 delight, and perhaps of awed wonder that in less than a century all 
 these miracles of electricity have come. And then turn perhaps with 
 something of reverence to a building that sits on the edge of the Lagoon, 
 adjoining these Electrical buildings — a memorial to Thomas A. Edison. 
 
 The Edison Memorial 
 
 It was in 1879 that Edison, watching a charred cotton thread in a glass 
 bulb glow for 40 hours, ushered in the new era of light. Steinmetz, another 
 great electrical genius, declared that Edison had done more than any 
 other man to foster the growth of electrical engineering. And so tribute is 
 paid to him, in the only building in the Exposition erected to the memory 
 of one man, in the Edison Memorial. It houses displays setting forth 
 the many evidences of his inventive genius, and their effect upon the 
 world. ..\bout the building is a beautiful garden brought from Edison's 
 home in Orange, New Jersey, where the "joyous inventor" spent most 
 of his leisure time. 
 
 [58]
 
 The Stirring Story of Mankind's Rise 
 
 When you have finished your study and enjoyment of the story of 
 the basic sciences — of their discoveries and their applications to man's 
 material existence — you may cross the bridge from the Hall of Science, 
 eastward, and see his beginnings, and watch his way unto the present 
 day. 
 
 On the north side of the two-storied Hall of Social Science which 
 houses these exhibits, strikingly sculptured pylons will cause >ou to 
 stop. At the left is a youth with two heads, with a goat by his side; 
 flames rise from the figure depicting, in allegory, the Indian symbols

 for the (iod of Fire. At the right, is the God of Light, and next to it, 
 a female figure representing Night, or Darkness, and next to this is the 
 God of Storm. The figures are by Leo Friedlander. 
 
 Within, you may read the history of man, and study the stages of 
 his development. Perhaps you will find an answer to the perplexities 
 of the present that cause our sometimes querulous questioning of the 
 worthwhileness of things. 
 
 A Story of Timely SisnlFlcance 
 
 Fay-Cooper Cole, chairman of the department of Anthropology at 
 the L^niversity of Chicago, who has had charge of the staging of this 
 gigantic show, sums up the significances of the Social Science exhibits 
 in these words: 
 
 "At the end of the Sixteenth Street bridge, in the Hall of Science, 
 and, in fact, throughout the Fair grounds, the visitor sees a century of 
 progress in scientific achievement. At the other end of the bridge, in the 
 Hall of Social Science, he can see the social consequences of this scientific 
 achievement. The century of scientific progress has changed our whole 
 social and economic life. It has changed our transportation, our whole 
 method of living. 
 
 "The old moorings are gone. We all feel somewhat at sea. The 
 depression has most decidedly sharpened the interest of the public in 
 social changes, and has brought home to it the importance of meeting 
 them intelligently. We hope to show how social science tries to meet 
 these great changes." 
 
 So, it is a story of cause and effect that you will carry home with 
 you from A Century of Progress. Here in the Social Science part of the 
 story you can see, in dramatic sequence, the cave life of fifty thousand 
 years ago, the life of the Mayas and aboriginal life as shown from mound 
 excavations, and the life of the American Indian, the early American 
 home, and on through the age of "oil lamps, horseshoes, wagon wheels 
 and corsets," to the "age of electric lights, radios, automobiles and 
 refrigerators." And you will find a simple but graphically told tale of 
 capital and its distribution and redistribution; of the problem of immi- 
 gration and overlapping governments, educational evolution and the 
 latest methods of teaching; homes of ultra-modernity and, possibly, 
 what they may be in the future; a model community and government. 
 
 An American Family Is Central Exhibit 
 
 As you enter the ground floor of the Hall of Social Science you 
 are attracted by the visual story of an American family. 
 
 Here is a group, almost life size, that shows a Colonial family. The 
 women are spinning, weaving, and making the garments by hand. Other 
 members of the group are drying fruits and meats. 
 
 Through a doorway you see the father of the family breaking the 
 sod with an old fashioned plow. 
 
 [60]
 
 Aboriginal America— 
 
 A Totem Pole from 
 
 the Indian Exhibit 
 
 Then the scene changes — a screen 
 descends, and you are shown this home as 
 part of a village, people have come to settle 
 and the original family has acquired neigh- 
 bors. Here is a church, a school and a court- 
 house. You see the boggy road over which 
 this family must travel, and on which a 
 horseman and a stagecoach struggle. The 
 limit of this group's horizon for a day is 
 50 miles. 
 
 On the opposite side of this group ex- 
 hibit is seen the family of 1933 living in a 
 city apartment. There is the inevitable 
 radio and the modern refrigerator; while 
 on the shelf are cans of prepared foods. 
 Most of the activities and amusements of 
 the Colonial family have gone out of this 
 home. 
 
 The screen descends again. This same 
 apartment appears on the map as a part of 
 a gigantic building, and it in turn is part of a 
 mammoth city, and you 
 see its amusement places, 
 parks, boulevards, play- 
 , '-- ' grounds, schools and fac- 
 
 tories; that miry road has 
 become a smooth, mac- 
 .i;!am highway. There's a railroad 
 train. An airplane flashes across the skies. 
 The daily limit of this family now extends 
 to distant cities. Down the aisle to the left 
 is the dramatic story of anthropology. 
 
 Drama in a City Dump 
 
 A huge relief map is the first exhibit, showing the nine culture areas 
 of North America. Traveling lights on the map explain the significance 
 of the exhibits outside the Hall of Social Science, and the methods of 
 social scientists in determining the growth and development of cultures. 
 
 Pause here and look upon a common city dump. Would you think 
 it could tell a story? It does — a story that explains graphically how 
 the past is read. Electric lights, radios, automobiles and a myriad of 
 other things which we use daily contribute to the dump of 1933. In 
 1893, the castoffs of a city were oil lamps, horseshoes, wagon wheels and 
 madam's stays. Xot only do you see in a flash the differences between 
 the two eras, but also you realize how those who delve into the ages 
 can read stories of other civilizations. Such a comparison helps you 
 to live the past illustrated by the exhibits of anthropology down the aisle. 
 
 [61]
 
 After the city clump, you see a section of a cave taken from Europe 
 that reveals records of 50,000 years ago. For centuries it has been 
 sealed in rock. You see exact reproductions of the mounds which 
 Indians built in Central Illinois through three successive cultures — you 
 see the skeletons of Indians long dead, accompanied by the objects that 
 were buried with them. A stratified village site emphasizes how the 
 records of the ages are steadily being discovered and read. 
 
 Then Trace the Threads of Our Own Existence 
 
 As you pass through the pages of history, you follow naturally the 
 ramifications of our increasingly complex existence. 
 
 You trace the economic aspects of industry, and of agriculture, and 
 see the maze of distribution processes that deliver necessities, and luxu- 
 ries to our doors. You see the reasons for the prices of things, the cost 
 of making, and the profit. 
 
 You see how a dollar is distributed and redistributed, multiplying 
 into millions and billions, in causes of charity, in taxation. Complex 
 things are made clear with simple exhibits that avoid the controversial 
 and seek simply to show you the fundamentals of the scheme of things 
 in the structure of world trade. 
 
 Moving pictures and dioramas record the coming of peoples of other 
 lands to the New World, to form cities within a city. The population 
 grows, fed as a sea from countless streams. Such growth creates prob- 
 lems of transportation, of industrial demands, of housing, of church

 [62 1
 
 and of school, of varying social codes, of delinquency, of racial require- 
 ments, of needs for recreation and of sanitation. 
 
 Finding the solutions to these problems requires money, and the 
 setting up of organizations for handling them. A variety of govern- 
 ments may be functioning to care for the needs of only one small 
 community. Moving lights show you the governm'^nts to which your 
 money goes, and the estimated percentage of it actually returned to you. 
 
 Maya Temple — Torn From A Thousand Years* 
 Jungle Growth 
 
 And now, from the broad terraces of the Hall of Social Science, lock 
 away southward toward Thirty-First street, where the Maya Temple 
 rises. When you come closer, like a pilgrim nearing a shrine, you may 
 find it difficult to believe that this temple is an exact copy of a building 
 in far away Yucatan, a temple at least ten centuries old, a bit of the 
 2,000 or more year old civilization of the Mayas. It stands on the 
 highest ground within the E.xposition boundaries, its walls covered with 
 elaborate designs, huge mask heads, and great serpents carved in stone. 
 Tulane University, under the sponsorship of A Century of Progress, 
 sent an expedition, in charge of Dr. Franz Blom, director of its depart- 
 ment of Middle Western research, to Uxmal, ancient seat of Mayan 
 culture, and there they obtained the information necessary for making 
 an exact reproduction of one section of the famous "Nunnery." They 
 brought back casts of its decorations to be incorporated in the Fair's 
 temple. 
 
 The Mayan civilization probably had its origin hundreds of years 
 before the Christian era, in the highlands of Guatemala and Honduras. 
 From there, apparently, 
 it spread slowly into 
 Yucatan, where its high- 
 est development was 
 reached about 1200 A.D. 
 These people, without 
 elaborate mechanical 
 equipment built great 
 cities in stone. On the 
 tops of 200-foot rubble 
 and cement pyramids, 
 stood stately temples, 
 government buildings, 
 and astronomical obser- 
 vatories, faced with cut 
 stone and decorated with 
 geometric designs and 
 carvings representing 
 
 men and animals. Decorative Detail, Maya Temple 
 
 [63]
 
 We know that they developed hieroglyphic writing, that they had 
 a mathematical system based on zero, and that they knew much of 
 astronomy. They made use of several metals, especially gold. Some 
 of their ornaments have been found ; beautiful mosaics, and lovely wood 
 carvings. 
 
 Descendants of the Mayas yet live, in Central America, but the 
 civilization of their ancestors has vanished. 
 
 Within the temple, priestesses kept the sacred fire burning; to let 
 it die out meant death by stoning; and loss of chastity, death by arrows. 
 They wove garments for the priests, who occupied large residences on 
 tops of the pyramids, and for the idols. On festival days the idols were 
 dressed in a glory of fine clothing, and gold and jade. 
 
 And from this story of a vanished civilization you go out to view 
 the living descendants of another civilization — the North American 
 Indian. 
 
 The Indian Villases 
 
 To the north and across the pedestrian way, stretches the area in 
 which the North American Indians live, during the Fair, in as close an 
 approximation of their native life as it is possible to attain. A section 
 of a Northwest Coast village is reproduced, with a plank house and 
 carved totem poles. Next is one of the woodlands groups living in 
 wigwams and practicing a limited agriculture. In contrast to these are 
 the tipi-dwellers of the plains, whose greatest source of supply was the 
 buffalo hunt. Then come the Navajo, roaming people, in some 
 measure, and then the Pueblos, with terraced villages. 
 
 The Golden Temple of Jehol

 All about these tribal homes swirls the colorful panorama of the 
 Fair. And it's only a little way in steps — but centuries in time — to 
 another striking display of life, the modern American home. 
 
 The Bendix Lama Temple 
 
 From the present with its daring structures of steel, embodying 
 modern ideals of beauty and utility, you may travel swiftly through the 
 centuries and halfway around the world to an alien shrine. 
 
 It is the resplendent sight of the Golden Pavilion of Jehol, its gold- 
 leaf roof glistening in the sunlight, that transports you to China of the 
 Eighteenth century, with its culture and art that amaze and delight us 
 today. It is placed westward from the Hall of Science, at Sixteenth 
 street, like a jewel in a magnificent tiara. 
 
 The Golden Pavilion, the original of which was built in 1767 at 
 Jehol, summer home of the Manchu emperors from 1714 until the termi- 
 nation of the dynasty twenty years ago, was brought to the 1933 World's 
 Fair and the City of Chicago by \'incent Bendix, exposition trustee. 
 Dr. Sven Hedin, noted Swedish explorer, acting for Mr. Bendix, spent 
 two years in Mongolia before he selected this as the finest existing 
 example of Chinese Lama architecture. 
 
 Exact reproductions of the 28,000 pieces of which the Temple is 
 composed were made and numbered at its original site in China. A 
 Chinese architect was employed to interpret these marks and to direct 
 their assembly on the exposition grounds. Chinese artists painted and 
 decorated the finished structure. 
 
 The Golden Pavilion is 70 feet square and 60 feet high, rising from 
 a 4-foot pedestal. Its double decked roof of copper shingles is covered 
 with $25,000 worth of 23-karat gold leaf. On the exterior, twenty-eight 
 columns in red lacquer, 16 feet high, support the lower deck. Twenty- 
 eight other columns, 30 feet high, form part of the wall. Inside, twelve 
 37-foot columns support the gilded ceiling and the upper deck. 
 
 Carved grills, in red, blue, yellow and gold, enclose the glass window 
 panes. The cornice beams are gilded and carved with images of dragons, 
 cats, and dogs. Hundreds of pieces of carved wood form the ceiling. 
 
 A Chinese guide, speaking excellent English, describes for you the 
 treasures contained in the Temple. One of the interesting objects he 
 points out is the "prayer wheel," which the devotees turn instead of 
 repeating prayers. One turn of the wheel is the equivalent of many 
 million prayers. There is an interesting temple drum, trumpets so long 
 that the player requires the services of an assistant to hold them up, 
 bronze and gilded wooden Buddhas, images of numerous other gods 
 and goddesses, altar pieces, incense burners, trumpets, masks used in 
 sacred dances, silver lamps, temple bells, and rare carpets.

 ome Planning 
 
 Hall 
 
 Though not technicalh- a part of the Social Science group, a culrrii- 
 nating chapter of the story could center in Home Planning Hall, and in 
 the homes which make up the housing section of the Fair. North of 
 Thirty-first street, Home Planning Hall and a group of eleven houses 
 are designed to show progress in architecture, comfort and economy. 
 
 Home Planning Hall is the general exhibits feature of the Home and 
 Industrial Arts Group. It is devoted to exhibits of heating, plumbing. 
 
 The Home Planning Hal 
 
 [671
 
 air conditioning, refrigeration, home equipment, household appliances 
 and building materials. 
 
 ('irouped around the l^uildings on the lake front, with appropriate 
 landscaping, are eleven exhibit homes. Eight of them undertake to illus- 
 trate in a modern way, to the family of limited means, the use of 
 prefabricated builcHng units, new materials, and new methods of con- 
 struction. All these small houses are designed without cellars and with 
 integral garages. All but one are constructed with flat roof decks and 
 solariums which make maximum use of sunlight for health and enjoy- 
 ment. All seek to cut the cost of small home construction and provide 
 greater living values. 
 
 Most of the group were produced by manufacturers to illustrate use 
 of their materials, yet architects and decorators have had full play in 
 carrying out the theme of progress, wholly aside from the commercial 
 factor involved. The houses in this interesting group are listed below: 
 
 Brick Manufacturers' House 
 
 Andrew Rebori, of Chicago, is the architect. The house was built by 
 the Common Brick Manufacturers' Association, and demonstrates rein- 
 forced brick construction. The house is built, virtually, in one piece: 
 walls, floors, and ceilings, all of brick, are held together as a unit by steel 
 rods run through the masonry. It has three stories with balconies on the 
 two up[>er floors. The second floor includes the living room, dinette and 
 kitchen, and the basement floor the cooling and heating plant. The third 
 floor has two bedrooms, bath and porch, and the roof a recreation deck 
 and garden. Cost, $4,500.00, exclusive of equipment. Interiors by the 
 Brick ^Manufacturers' Association 
 
 Armco and Ferro Enamel House 
 
 This house was built for the American Rolling Mill Company and 
 the Ferro Enamel Corporation, by Insulated Steel, Inc. This house is 
 unique in that it is frameless; no structural steel being used. The walls 
 are box-like units, factory fabricated, house high, and welded at the 
 shop in various widths. When set up, the walls are filled with rock wool. 
 The exterior is panels of vitreous enamel iron nailed on with "belyx" 
 nails. There are seven rooms, bath and lavatory, and integral garage. 
 The deck roof gives space for a solarium and open porch. There are 
 four bedrooms on the second floor, with six large closets. The architect 
 was Robert Smith, Jr., of Cleveland. Cost, exclusive of equipment, 
 $4,500.00. Interiors by Kroehler Furniture Company and Ladies Home 
 Journal. 
 
 General Houses, inc.. House 
 
 This is another all-steel, frameless house, with nothing made at the 
 site except the concrete piers. The steel chassis was set in place, and the 
 panels bolted on to form a complete shell; then the roof panels were 
 bolted on, windows and doors installed, and the house was ready for 
 
 [68]
 
 paint. It has been estimated by the General Houses, Inc., that these 
 simple units make possible an almost endless variety of designs, and 
 that a week's time could suffice for the erection of a four or five-room 
 house. Howard T. Fisher, of Chicago, was the architect. Cost, exclusive 
 of equipment, $4,500.00. Interiors by Kroehler Furniture Company. 
 
 Good Housekeepins-Stransteel House 
 
 Here is a steel frame house of highly modern design, with a large 
 recreation room on the second floor. The exterior is enamel-finished 
 steel, backed with Haydite and fastened with nails. Two bedrooms are 
 on the ground floor. The large recreation room on the second floor gives 
 access to the terrace, which covers the greater part of the flat roof. The 
 architects were O'dell and Rowland of Detroit, Mich., with Dwight 
 James Baum of Good Housekeeping Magazine as consultant. Cost, 
 exclusive of equipment, $7,900.00. Interiors by Good Housekeeping 
 Studio. 
 
 Rostone House 
 
 A six-room house built by Rostone, Inc., and the Indiana Bridge 
 Company. Rostone is a building material composed of limestone and 
 shale, and can be had in any color. The material is prefabricated in 
 standard sizes. The house has all the living quarters on the first floor, 
 with a glass-enclosed solarium occupying a fourth of the space of the 
 roof deck, which covers the entire house. The architect was Walter 
 Scholer of Lafayette, Indiana. Cost, exclusive of equipment, $6,000.00. 
 Interiors by Thomas E. Smith, designing engineer, Chicago.

 [69]
 
 "Design for Living" 
 
 John Moore, of New York, was the architect and builder of this 
 unusual house. It is of two stories; the first includes a large living room, 
 with two L-wings, one a commodious dining room and the other a library 
 study opening on a large porch. The upper floor holds two bedrooms 
 with bathroom between. The full length of the house is occupied by a 
 roof terrace, giving room for outdoor sleeping, and for recreation. Cost, 
 exclusive of fixtures and equipment, ^4,000.00. Interiors by Gilbert 
 Rohde, interior designer, New York. 
 
 Masonite House 
 
 This house was built by Masonite Corporation, with Frazier and 
 Raftery, Chicago, as architects. It has a living room with 12-foot ceil- 
 ing and large groups of windows on two sides. The dining bay is part 
 of the living room, with a group of windows, centered by a French door, 
 leading to a terrace. Two bedrooms and bathrooms are also on the first 
 floor, with a wide hall and staircase giving access to the den upstairs 
 and the covered and open decks of a modern roof. The walls of one of 
 the bedrooms are covered with broad-loom woven cellophane, with hang- 
 ings of knitted cellophane. Cost, exclusive of equipment, $7,500.00. 
 Interiors by Marjorie Thorsh, interior decorator, Chicago, 
 
 Lumber Industries House 
 
 The National Lumber Manufacturers' Association built this house. 
 It is a five-room dwelling, modern in design, and, differing from other 
 houses in the group, has a pitched roof. The walls and ceilings are 
 paneled with various woods, achieving unique designs and demonstrating 
 logical lumber uses. Ernest Grunsfeld of Chicago v/as the architect. 
 Cost, exclusive of equipment, $4,500. Interiors by Wolfgang Hoffmann, 
 interior designer. New York. 
 
 "House of Tomorrow" 
 
 A circular glass house, incorporating possible indications of what the 
 future may bring in housing has been constructed. The house is built 
 around a central mast which contains all utilities. The exterior walls 
 are of clear glass, and there are no windows. Privacy is obtained by 
 drapes and roller and Venetian blinds. The most modern equipment 
 available has been used, including everything from an airplane to 
 electrically controlled doors. The furniture is especially designed. The 
 ground floor includes the airplane hangar in addition to the garage; the 
 roof above forms an extensive deck terrace, opening from the living room 
 floor, and there is a similar deck around the drum-shaped solarium on 
 the third floor. The ventilation is all by filtered, washed, heated or 
 cooled air, recirculated every ten minutes. There are no visible light 
 fixtures, as the necessary artificial light is indirect, from hidden sources. 
 There are no closets, but movable wardrobes are used. 
 
 The house has been built by Century Homes, Inc., and the architect 
 
 [70]
 
 was George Fred Keck, of Chicago. The house is frankly declared to 
 be a "laboratory" house, for the purpose of determining the attitude of 
 World's Fair visitors to the idea of an utterly different home. Future 
 homes of the type, it is said, could be built at prices within the range of 
 the other small houses in 
 the group, although price 
 has been no object in 
 building this house. In- 
 teriors by Irene Kay Hy- 
 man, interior decorator, 
 Chicago. 
 
 Florida Tropical 
 House 
 
 This is a house built 
 to meet the requirements 
 of people with larger 
 means than average. It is 
 designed for climates ap- 
 proximating that of Flor- 
 ida. There is a two-story 
 living room overlooked by 
 a balcony. The dining 
 room is separate from the 
 living room, being the 
 
 Interior, "Design for Living' 
 
 only full (lining room in 
 the group. On the ground 
 floor also are two bed- 
 rooms and a large bath- 
 room. A tile-paved log- 
 gia is laid on the water 
 side of the living room, 
 connecting with the din- 
 ing room. The roof of the 
 house is a sun deck, living 
 deck and recreation deck, 
 e.xcept for the space taken 
 by the upper half of the 
 high room. Robert Law 
 Weed of Miami, Florida, 
 was the architect, and the 
 cost, exclusive of equip- 
 Building House of Glass ment, approximately 
 
 $15,000. The striking and original interiors were designed by James S. 
 
 Kuhne and Percival Goodman, Chicago and New York. 
 
 [711
 
 W. & J. Sloanc House 
 
 This house, not designed to feature building methods, but rather to 
 display elaborate interior decoration, was built by W. & J. Sloane of 
 New York. It has a large living room with dining bay, gallery, three 
 bedrooms, servant's room, kitchen and terrace, offering five opportuni- 
 ties for exhibits of modern trends of furnishings and interior schemes. 
 A garden at the rear is sponsored by the Garden Clubs of America. 
 
 The Glass Block Building 
 
 An unusual building has been built by the Owens-Illinois Glass 
 Company as the landscape pavilion of the James W. Owen Nurseries, 
 landscapers of the Home & Industrial Arts Group. This is a building 
 of glass blocks, with a central shaft fifty feet high. The glass blocks 
 are many colored, semi-transparent, and approximately the size of the 
 ordinary paving bricks. The colors are fired into the glass. The build- 
 ing houses a display of garden equipment and furniture, new and unusual 
 flowers, and a complete display of the Owens-Illinois Glass Company. 
 
 Southern Cypress Manufacturers — Johns-Manville 
 — Crane Company — Kohler — 
 
 The Southern Cypress Manufacturers' mountain lodge is in pleasing 
 contrast to the other modern buildings of the group. Here will be seen 
 an interesting story of the many kinds and uses of Cypress, "the wood 
 eternal.'' 
 
 The Johns-Manville building features a great mural, 90 by 20 feet, 
 painted on asbestos-cement panels, and a colorful exhibit of products. 
 This entire building is devoted to the interests of the family of larger 
 means. The Crane Company bus station includes animated displays, 
 showing the development of valves, piping, fitting, etc., to the present 
 day of color in fixtures; with an advisory service to answer questions on 
 bathroom planning and remodeling, while the Kohler Building to the 
 north looks out over the Uahlia Garden with a colorful story of this 
 firm's contribution toward the betterment of living conditions. A long 
 colonnade with lounge chairs is surrounded by shops containing examples 
 of bathroom furnishings. 
 
 Gas Industries Hall 
 
 Adjoining Home Planning Hall, to the south, is Gas Industries Hall, 
 with exhibits showing the growth of the gas industry, in heating and 
 cooking, and other uses. Developments in heating, plumbing, air condi- 
 tioning and household equipment and appliances are featured, with a 
 large display by the American Gas Association.

 The Drama of Agriculture 
 
 For centuries, men farmed mainly as their fathers had farmed before 
 them. In the last 75 years, a great change has come. It is depicted in a 
 dramatic way in the Agricultural group, over on Northerly island, just 
 north of the U. S. Government building. Because of its great length, 
 this building is easily reached, either over the Twelfth Street or the 
 Science bridge. It covers a gross area of 95,115 feet and is 658 feet 
 long. Arthur Brown, Jr., and Edward H. Bennett were the architects. 
 The Dairy Building immediately north covers 15,000 square feet. The 
 same architects designed it. 
 
 A Semi-Tropical Setting 
 
 Outside the buildings, you will see orange and lemon trees, grapefruit 
 and other tropical and semi-tropical vegetation flourishing. It is a trans- 
 planted exhibit from Florida as a part of the state representation. One 
 of the finest collections of its kind ever assembled, it adds a note of 
 e.xotic beauty to this group of buildings. 
 
 There are roof terraces, fitted up as outdoor lounges, providing 
 perfect vantage points for a view over the colorful lagoon, up and down 
 the Fair. 
 
 If you already have visited the Hall of Science, you will, in a measure, 
 be prepared for the swift sequences of the stories of farm, food, dairy, 
 and farm machinery. 
 
 Biology has pointed the way to improve plants and animals by selec- 
 tion and breeding, and to adapt them to new living conditions. 
 
 Chemistry has taught us to banish or to put to good use insect life 
 and fungus growths; to analyze the soil and enrich it. Physics has 
 made possible larger and better cultivation by means of farm imple- 
 ments, power to lighten the farm tasks, and to increase profits. Meteor- 
 ology tells the farmer the best times to plant and harvest. Medicine 
 plays its part in the prevention and cure of animal diseases. 
 
 Today agriculture is a trinity — an art, a science, and an industry. 
 
 Throughout this group you see the story of foods, their production, 
 and preservation, and their distribution told by dioramas, moving mod- 
 els, and actual processes. You see salt brought up from mines, and 
 purified. You see how salt is obtained from the great flat beds near 
 Salt Lake City. You see coffee and tea prepared; a model plant of a 
 biscuit making factory; a great commercial kitchen, and its evolution 
 from the primitive and old fashioned home cookeries; you see a popular 
 drink actually made; and a miniature brewery to show how beer is 
 made; the making of barrels for a multiplicity of purposes; how fish
 
 are caught and canned; how sugar is processed; bees at work in a glass 
 hive, and the preparation and uses of honey. 
 
 Livestock and Meat Industries 
 
 The livestock and meat industries, forming one of the largest divi- 
 sions of American agriculture, have combined to show you an interesting 
 picture in the center wing of the Agriculture and Foods Building. Here 
 
 a long facade flashes and 
 changes with colorful 
 lights. As you enter, 
 your attention is caught 
 first by the figure of the 
 lone cowboy mounted 
 on his horse, watching 
 his herd at a water hole 
 in the grazing grounds. 
 Changing lights trans- 
 form the scene alter- 
 nately from night to day. 
 At the left, a large dio- 
 rama shows a modern 
 feeding farm. The sun 
 shines and there are lush 
 corn fields. Moving 
 trains of livestock cars 
 are on their way to 
 market. 
 
 After you have seen 
 a comparison of the 
 1833 and 1933 types of hogs and cattle, you enter into a white-tiled 
 cooler to see how meat is cut and preserved. A retail store next claims 
 you, where a robot indicates the choice cuts of meat, and gives a short 
 talk on each. A revolving stage shows four scenes illustrating the values 
 of meat diets. A great arch of a rainbow presents the pleasures of camp- 
 ing, picnicking, and boating. Startling optical illusions show the com- 
 ponent parts of a satisfying meat meal, changing suddenly into a healthy 
 child playing. 
 
 These highlights of the story of the livestock and meat industry are 
 interspersed with striking depictions of the history of the two indus- 
 tries, the distribution of meats, and the methods taken for protecting 
 the public in the handling of meats. 
 
 The Illinois Agriculture Building 
 
 The State of Illinois presents a story of middle-western farming, and 
 demonstrates the work that is carried on by the state to promote the 
 industry, and to make life happier and more profitable for those who 
 till the soil.

 Here is also j^iven a dynamic exhibit of one product, dwelling in 
 obscurit}' for most of us, yet holdin<^ a place of such importance to 
 agriculture and industry that it brings strikingly home the great work 
 of science in developing a simple gift of the soil and turning it to num- 
 berless uses. The soy bean comes into its own, for here you see how 
 science takes it. crushes it, mills it or dries it, and turns it to more than

 Go into the International Harvester building and you will see the 
 quarter million dollar exhibit of the machines and implements which 
 science and industry have devised to lighten drudgery. 
 
 The Dairy Buildins and the Color Orsan 
 
 If you begin your trip to the Agricultural group from the north 
 rather than the south end, the sweeping main entrance of this 
 big building is only a few steps from the north, or Twelfth Street 
 bridge. You enter into a large lobb}'. Beyond is a cyclorama on which 
 streams of color play, flowing over it in masses or in subtle shadings or 
 clashes of startling contrasts. At an organ console, a player's hands 
 finger the keyboard, causing the variations of color. The instrument 
 is the Clavilux, or color organ, designed to play with color as musical 
 instruments play with sounds. 
 
 With the "color music" for accompaniment, a spectacle is presented 
 in the darkened amphitheatre in several episodes, showing how, in one

 of civilization westward, and today's organized dairy industry with its 
 showing the bringing of the first cows to the Plymouth colony, the trek 
 of civilization westward, and today's organized dairy industry with its 
 scientific preparation, distribution, sanitation, and refrigeration of milk 
 and milk products. 
 
 After eight minutes of the pageant drama, wide halls brilliantly 
 illuminated and containing artistic scenes invite you into Industry Hall. 
 Transparent figure groups show the four ages of humanity — Childhood, 
 Youth, Prime, and Maturit}- — and the effect of dairy products' diet on 
 the physical and mental powers. A mechanical reproduction of a cow 
 shows the animal as a chemical laboratory, manufacturing milk. 
 
 You enter Commodity Hall, and witness the preparation of ice 
 cream, cheese, butter, milk, and dry milks. An illustrated exhibit per- 
 mits you to follow milk from the country receiving station to the refrig- 
 erated tank car, to the receiving tank at the city milk plant, through the 
 processes in the plant, and to the delivering wagon. 
 
 A dairy restaurant overlooks the lagoon. Next to the restaurant on 
 the same level are club rooms for members of the Century Dairy Club. 
 The members are contributors to the dairy exhibition, which was pro- 
 duced by Century Dairy E.xhibit, Inc.. with Dr. H. E. \'an Xorman, 
 manager and president. 
 
 A Poultry Show 
 
 Near the Thirty-seventh Street entrance there is a poultry show, 
 with an international egg-laying derby as the principal feature, cham- 
 pion hens from twenty-eight States, from the Dominion of Canada, and 
 four other nations, competing. The egg-laying contest started a month 
 before the Fair opened, and will be ended two days before its close. 
 Besides the egg-laying contest, there is an exhibition of specimen flocks 
 of unusual varieties of domestic, and wild, land, and water fowl. 
 
 [77]
 
 A Fairyland of Flowers 
 
 Transformation of 424 acres of barren, sandy, man-made land — 
 wrested from the bottom of Lake Michigan — into a garden spot of 
 velvety lawns, hundreds of trees, shrubbery and brilliant fiower-beds 
 was the task confronting landscape engineers and horticulturists at 
 Chicago's 1933 World's Fair. 
 
 The problem of landscaping confronting Messrs. Vitale and 
 Geiffert, the landscape architects, could not be too carefully studied, 
 for it is the landscaping which forms the setting of the Fair. Not only 
 do the trees, terraces, hedges and gardens decorate and beautify each 
 individual building, but they have been placed and designed so as to 
 weld the entire exposition area into a complete and harmonious unit. 
 Type of tree, shape of pool, variety of flower, height of hedge and 
 terrace, massing of shrubbery, have all been carefully and subtly 
 adapted to the type and architecture of the particular building which it 
 decorates, so that each spot has its own unique place in the carefully 
 designed pattern of the entire area. 
 
 One of the first tasks was the transplanting of hundreds of trees. All 
 of these trees, except the cedars, came from Illinois, and Fair visitors will 
 be refreshed by the shade of avenues and clumps of maples, elms, 
 lindens, horsechestnuts and lombardy poplars. There will be twenty 
 acres of smooth, hedge-bordered lawn studded with green and flowering 
 shrubs; and the delicate tracing of young vines will add to the charm 
 of many of the walls of the buildings. 
 
 Probably the most spectacular part of the landscape effects will be 
 the flowers. Twenty-four thousand square feet of flower beds will be 
 scattered about the grounds, planted in a fragrant and colorful profusion 
 of heliotrope, geranium, marigold, petunia, snow-on-the-mountain, salvia, 
 begonia, dusty miller, and ageratum. 
 
 An Avenue of Color 
 
 Stroll from the Hall of Science southward to the IJall of Religion 
 through an "avenue of color," a walk 1,000 feet long. Its bordering 
 flowers are three kinds of gladiola, early, middle and late. At either 
 approach of the Sixteenth Street bridge will be another colorful display 
 of gladiola. 
 
 Dahlia and Peony Gardens 
 
 On southward, the landscaping surrounding the Home and Indus- 
 trial Arts group, with Dahlia gardens, flaunting their riotous color, 
 may allure you, and the enormous peony beds will make a spot of soft 
 bloom near the Lincoln f^roun.

 Alpine Gardens 
 
 Just south of the Twenty-third Street entrance are the Alpine Gar- 
 dens, a half acre in area, with wide paths and terraces, and shade trees 
 and evergreens. From the upper terraces water cascades down to a 
 pool at the bottom, in which water lilies float, and goldfish besport them- . 
 
 selves. The rock ledges are formed 
 of beautiful weathered stone, and 
 there are restful garden seats 
 where you may sit and watch the 
 kaleidoscopic scene of the Fair. 
 Rare plants gathered from abroad 
 can be enjoyed, such as the flower- 
 ing onion of Thibet, the Cupid's 
 dart from Greece, many varieties 
 of lilies from China and Japan, a 
 sedum from Russia and an excep- 
 tionally rare fall flowering crocus. 
 
 Tribute to Cermak 
 
 In a special place of its own 
 there's a little garden of twenty- 
 five rose bushes, memorial to An- 
 ton J. Cermak, martyred mayor of 
 Chicago. Shortly before the shot of 
 an assassin, intended for President Franklin D. Roosevelt, at Miami, 
 Fla., so wounded Mr. Cermak that he died a few days later, Jan Bohn, 
 noted horticulturist of Blatna, Czechoslovakia, boyhood friend of the 
 late mayor, had christened one of his newest rose creations the Anton 
 Cermak. Their friendship had been renewed when the mayor visited his 
 native country, on a tour of Europe in the interest of the Fair. It was 
 intended to have a bed of this variety planted on the World's Fair

 grounds in honor of the Hving mayor 
 — after his tragic death, the memorial 
 garden was decided on. 
 
 Here again is a garden of prairie 
 flowers, forming a dooryard for a 
 Lincoln log cabin. Here are California 
 blooms, with a background of moun- 
 tains and a California mission house, 
 and a brook babbling a soothing 
 course through a forest preserve gar- 
 den, with shaded footpaths and rustic 
 bridges. 
 
 Northerly Island 
 
 Crossing the bridge to Northerly 
 island, the splendor of gardens and 
 foliage continues. Whether it is the 
 formal simplicity of shaded and 
 hedge-bordered pool and paths of the 
 courts of the Electrical and the Agri- 
 culture buildings, the Italian garden 
 Hanked by a row of prim tall trees, 
 or the great garden of roses, your eyes 
 will be delighted by the quiet and 
 charm of these spots. 
 
 Within the Horticultural Building 
 
 You will have seen dioramas in man}- exhibits throughout the Fair, 
 but in the Horticultural building, a concession to which an admission 
 fee is charged, are different ones. Gardeners and florists have used real 
 trees, real flowers, real brooks, to present scene after scene in dioramic 
 settings. The first you will encounter as you enter the hall is a tropical 
 scene, with tall trees, and a tangle of vines and vivid flowers. Another 
 is a colonial home, and about it real moss, lilies of the valley and 
 spacious lawns. Here is a southwest desert, with forbidding cactus 
 abounding, and Joshua trees. Another is an Italian lake, rimmed by 
 trees, and with flowers in front. Others are a winter scene in the Mich- 
 igan woods, with cold winds blowing their chilly breaths upon great 
 trees, a formal rose garden; a sixteenth century interior, with cunning 
 flower arrangements, and through the windows an old fashioned garden 
 is glimpsed. 
 
 Concealed skylights flood the flowers with sunshine, or. when needed, 
 the blossoms are bathed in ultraviolet rays, Irom lamps.

 The Hall of Religion 
 
 Near the Twenty-third Street entrance, and north of the Midway, 
 or street of carnival, stands a unique building. It strives to express the 
 spirit of modernism, that is the voice of the Fair, and the more mellow, 
 more traditional spirit of holy things. 
 
 Its tower-carillon chimes religious melodies, and within is a chamber 
 of quiet, a chapel of meditation and prayer. It is the Hall of Religion. 
 Here, the followers of many faiths tell the story of man's rise through

 The Chalice of Antioch 
 
 religion. Jew and Gentile, Baptist and Methodist, Presbyterian and 
 Lutheran, Christian Scientist and Episcopalian, join in a solemn man- 
 ifestation of the supremity of God. 
 
 The Chalice of Antioch 
 
 Here you can see one of the rarest relics of Christianity; the silver 
 Chalice of Antioch. Only once, since being brought to America 19 years 
 ago, has it left the sanctuary of a strong box in New York. Then it was 
 lent to the Musee du Louvre in Paris. Its value is inestimable and it is 
 heavily insured. Archeologists, biblical scholars, writers and artists 
 who have studied this chalice pronounce it to be the earliest known 
 object connected with the Eucharist.
 
 The chalice was found in Antioch, Syria, by Arabs digging in the 
 ruins of what once had been a great city. With it were other religious 
 pieces also shown in this exhibit. The chalice stands 7.56 inches high 
 and would hold about two quarts of liquid. That it was made by a very 
 great artist, all eminent students agree. He has presented in beautifully 
 sculptured figures two scenes of the Christ, each surrounded by five of 
 his followers. One shows Jesus as a mature, yet young man, beardless, 
 dignified, clothed in a toga. Below him, are Paul and Peter; above, at 
 left and right, are James and Thaddeus. Behind Paul is an old wrinkled 
 man, St. Andrew, brother of John. 
 
 The other group shows Jesus as a boy holding in his hand the scroll 
 of the law on two staffs. Matthew^, Mark, Luke and John sit around 
 him, and behind Matthew is St. James the Greater, brother of John. 
 
 According to orientalists the chalice is truly representative, in design 
 and decoration, of the golden age of Hellenic art, and probably the last 
 example extant. 
 
 All Religions are Represented 
 
 The Hall of Religion commands a beautiful view of the Lagoon. It 
 
 stands on a curve in the shore-line that gives it prominence in this sec- 
 tion of the grounds. The architects were Thielbar and Fugard, and it 
 represents the fulfillment of a dream of George W. Dixon, Chicago 
 business man, and many of his associates to tell the story at A Century 
 of Progress of the advancement of mankind through religion. Six rare, 
 stained glass windows by Cormick of Boston, were borrowed from the 
 great Milan cathedral being built in Pittsburgh. 
 
 This building is entered through a door of ecclesiastical design, over 
 which are the words, "Righteousness Exalteth a Nation." You walk into 
 an octagonal rotunda, the walls of which are adorned with illuminated 
 murals. These murals represent the world's best known religions — 
 man's universal aspiration for God — Christianity, Buddhism, Confu- 
 cianism, Mohammedanism, Judaism, the early American Indian's wor- 
 ship of the Great Spirit, the ancient Persian and Grecian faiths. 
 
 Churches Cooperate 
 
 To your left, from the main lobby, or rotunda, is an exhibit of the 
 American Bible Society, and to the right are exhibits by the Christian 
 Century Press, and the Protestant Episcopal Church of America. A 
 300-foot exhibition hall houses exhibits of the National Lutheran Coun- 
 cil, and the Lutheran Synod of Missouri, the Church of Christ, Scientist, 
 the King's Daughters. Another exhibit hall holds a unified exposition 
 of the Methodist, Presbyterian, Congregational, Baptist and other 
 Protestant churches. 
 
 Religious Welfare Organizations 
 
 The Salvation Army. Jewish Societies, Xear East Foundations. 
 Church of Latter Day Saints, and the \'olunteers of America have inter- 
 esting exhibits. They join in telling "the services which religion has 
 recorded in the past century, and the continuing service which the next 
 
 [83]
 
 ccniury may be expected to open to religious Ijodies." Particular stress 
 in the exhibits is laid on the advancement of religious organizations in 
 hospital and mission work. 
 
 One of the most striking exhibits is an international one, showing 
 the development of church architecture. 
 
 Or3an Recitals and Choral Concerts 
 
 A large assembly hall affords a place for religious pageants and 
 dramas, organ recitals, choral concerts and other group activities. It 
 is anticipated that, throughout the Fair, some of the nation's greatest 
 organists will give frequent concerts, to be transmitted through loud 
 speakers for the benefit of those who may sit upon the broad fountain 
 terrace at the east of the building. The carillon chimes also will be 
 broadcast. 
 
 In the "Chapel of Meditation" there are pews, an altar, chancel, 
 and pipe organ. Here it was the purpose of the builders to provide a 
 place where people of all faiths may find quiet communion. 
 
 An Interesting Chapel Car 
 
 On a track near the Skyride, north of Sixteenth street, you may 
 enter a chapel car of the Catholic Extension Society, one of two pioneers

 the
 
 The United States Government 
 
 And the States 
 
 The Federal Building 
 
 Where ihe north Lagoon curves around at Science Bridge, a three- 
 pylon building stands on Northerly island, chromatic yet stately. 
 Above its gold dome three pylons, fluted towers 150 feet high, typify 
 the three branches of United States Government — legislative, executive 
 and judicial. This is the building for which Congress made appropria- 
 tion to house, develop and maintain the story of Government activities — 
 a story which might be said to be the crowning chapter of the story of 
 science, and its application by industry to the welfare of the people, 
 which A Century of Progress tells. 
 
 On the west front of the building a plaza extends to the lagoon, and 
 a 40-foot span to an embarcadero used by dignitaries of state to dis- 
 embark for a visit to the building. 
 
 At its back, and in \'-shape seeming to embrace it. is the States 
 Building, with its Court of States, thus typifying the increased feeling 
 of loyalty of the citizens to the Union. 
 
 The United States Government Building is 620 feet long and 300 
 
 [S5]
 
 feet wide, and you enter it into a rotunda 70 feet in diameter. Over it 
 is a 75-foot dome. 
 
 About the building are sunken gardens which fill the open part of 
 the "VV forming the Court of States. 
 
 Many are the contributions which the Government makes to enun- 
 ciate the theme of the Fair in the exhibits you will find in its beautiful 
 building. Ten departments of the Government tell of their activities 
 and achievements — Agriculture, Commerce, State, Interior, Navy, 
 Labor, Treasury, War, Justice and Post Office. Also there are extensive 
 exhibits of the Smithsonian Institution, the Panama Canal, the Library 
 of Congress, the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, 
 \'eterans' Administration, the National Advisory Committee for Aero- 
 nautics, the Shipping Board and the Government Printing Office. 
 
 Completing the story which you may already have seen in the 
 Agricultural Building, the exhibit of the Department of Agriculture 
 gives you a dramatic presentation of the history of farming in the last 
 one hundred years, and of the vast improvements in the science of 
 Agriculture that have had incalculable effect upon the economic, and 
 the social life of both urban and rural communities. You see how im- 
 provements in engineering methods, and in the use of machinery, and 
 in the gathering and dissemination of market information, and the 
 continuous aid of the Government in all phases of agricultural life have 
 helped to bring farming and stock raising to a science. 
 
 The analysis of business trends, the grading and inspection service, 
 the land surveys and other functions of this great department of the 
 Government are shown. 
 
 The Business of the Nation 
 
 The business of the nation in its every phase looks to another De- 
 partment of the Government — the Department of Commerce — for a 
 multiplicity of service. This department shows the work of the Aero- 
 nautics Branch, the Bureau of Standards, Census Bureau, the Bureau 
 of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, the Bureau of Fisheries, the Bureau 
 of Lighthouses, the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Patent Office, the 
 Navigation and Steamboat Inspection Service and the Bureau of Mines. 
 
 Among the exhibits of the Aeronautics Branch one will see a radio 
 receiving set for the reception of broadcasts of weather information from 
 Department of Commerce stations by aircraft in flight. There will be 
 acetylene blinkers, electric code beacons and a 36 inch rotating beacon 
 light. The Bureau of Lighthouses will show further examples of the 
 progress in lighting and the latest development in lighthouse practices. 
 
 The Bureau of Mines is contributing a series of murals depicting 
 varioi^g mining and metallurgical operations; a working model of the 
 Bureau of Mines experimental mining station, a model of a helium 
 plant, and demonstrations of rescue methods used by mine firemen and 
 police. There will also be a mine rescue car which will be shown on
 
 one of the tracks immediately adjacent to the Travel and Transport 
 building. 
 
 The exhibit of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce will 
 present interesting information on government cooperation with and 
 service to, the domestic and foreign trade. There will be a large map of 
 the United States which will show in sequence the average value of 
 textile products, shoes, leather, iron and steel, foodstuffs, chemicals, and 
 other merchandise exported from the United States per day over a ten- 
 year period (1923 to 1933). 
 
 The exhibit of the Department of State is in two sections, that of 
 the Department proper and that of the Foreign Service. A collection of

 [87]
 
 historic documents is one of the interesting features - - documents in 
 which are written vivid accounts of a Nation's growth. 
 
 The Foreign Service brings home to the American citizen the far- 
 flung influences of his government, that, concomitant with the growth 
 of the Nation, has reached into every nook and corner of the world. 
 
 Bristlin3 Guns and Dramatic Souvenirs 
 
 Here in the south wing of the building you find hundreds of souvenirs 
 from all over the world, treasured relics of the Navy and the Marines. 
 Oil paintings and dioramas remind us that we have not reached national 
 greatness without the sacrifices of conflict. Paintings of battle scenes, 
 of many campaigns, and pictures of peace-time exploits; uniforms worn 
 by Uncle Sam's warriors in the War of 1812, in the Civil War, the 
 Spanish-American conflict and the World War; battle flags; a machine 
 gun taken from a German plane shot down by the Marines at Theau- 
 cort; a vast enclosed case with medals and citations. 
 
 Here is a torpedo, more than 10 feet in length, and weighing several 
 tons, and a diorama of an extensive mine area laid out by the Navy in 
 the World War. Also marine engines that index the development of 
 our battle fleets, from the time of the Merrimac and the Monitor to 
 the powerful turbines of today. 
 
 The Army is depicted in real life in its camp within the Exposition 
 grounds. The only Army exhibit in the Government building is that of 
 the engineers illustrating methods of construction covering river and 
 harbor improvements, Mississippi flood control, the Wilson Dam, and 
 the Nicaragua Canal survey. 
 
 The Treasury Department shows special exhibits from the Bureau 
 of the Mint, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Bureau of 
 Narcotics and the Public Health Service. The last named has exhibits 
 admirably complimenting the Medical exhibits in the Hall of Science. 
 
 The Department of Labor shows what the Government has done 
 in the last one hundred years to improve the conditions and standards 
 of labor, and of its contributions to child welfare. 
 
 The central feature of the exhibit is a pyramid of frosted glass 
 which has thirteen tiers, the lowest representing the years immediately 
 preceding 1933, the next seven representing the past century, and the 
 topmost the future. The road which circles upward around the pyramid 
 is symbolic of the progress which mankind has made during the 
 century. As a decorative screen opens and reveals this pyramid, a 
 group of figures emerges and begins its long and tedious climb upward 
 into a more enlightened era. 
 
 A large reception room, a model kitchen, a pantry and caterers' 
 quarters are in the building for the use of the United States officials. 
 The Hon. Harry S. New is Commissioner and Col. W. B. Causey is the 
 Assistant Commissioner. The Secretaries of State, Agriculture, and 
 Comerce form the Commission. 
 
 [88 1
 
 The Parade of States 
 
 The feeling in previous expositions has been that national partici- 
 pation could be shown only by a separate building for each State. This 
 resulted in some useless expenditure, and participation on an elaborate 
 scale by some, by a scanty representation by others, and by no partici- 
 pation at all in the case of many. 
 
 Preferring to emphasize the solidarity of our Union, A Century of 
 Progress determined that the States should be grouped under one roof, 
 architecturally arranged with the Federal Building to indicate its sup- 
 port of, and united efforts with, the central government. Your feet will 
 probably turn first toward your native commonwealth, but you will 
 want to visit all. Here is the gathering place of the nation, here friends 
 from different states will meet, or native sons and daughters congregate. 
 It is a beautiful setting for reunion, overlooking the lagoon, with its 
 broad and beautiful Court of States opening by several entrances to 
 the various stale and territorial exhibits. 
 
 It is a parade of products, beautiful scenery, state flags — a striking 
 procession that tells a great country's history and inexhaustible natural 
 resources. 
 
 Puerto Rico has an interesting exhibit in the building; Alaska has 
 a cabin in the rear. 
 
 At the western end of the left line of the \'-design formed by the 
 States building, looking east, Wisconsin starts the parade, with an exhi- 
 bition of her agriculture, her industries, and scenic attractions of forest, 
 lakes and streams that appeal to the camper, the hunter, and the tourist. 
 Then comes Puerto Rico, situated on the warm waters of the Caribbean, 
 with exhibits that tell of her beauty, her sugar, coffee and tobacco 
 industry, and scenic, tropical attractions. 
 
 Illinois follows, with her exhibit divided into four sections: Mines 
 and Minerals, Public Welfare, Public Works and W'aterways, and the 
 State University, which tell of the advancement which Illinois has made 
 in the 146 years since she became a territory, more particularly in the 
 last century. Illinois also has an agricultural exhibit in the .Agricultural 
 building and a Host building on the Avenue of Flags, described 
 elsewhere. 
 
 New York has a beautiful garden in her lection. Her exhibit tells 
 the storv of the great resources with the diverse beauties and recrea- 
 tional features of the Empire State, including the Catskills, .\dirondacks, 
 Niagara Falls and State Parks. 
 
 Iowa — the Great Corn State — displays recreational opportunities 
 and State Parks. 
 
 Washington brings her story of rich mines, agriculture, the natural 
 scenic beauties of Puget Sound, Mount Rainier and the Inland Empire 
 in pictures framed in native woods. 
 
 Ohio swings into line with her story of great manufacturing achieve- 
 
 180 1
 
 merit and beautiful farms. A large map of the state with an electrical 
 control board is one of the features. 
 
 Then comes North Dakota picturing her agricultural resources, her 
 growing industries, and the scenic beauty of the Bad Lands, with an 
 exhibit showing how lignite coal is mined, how briquettes are made; her 
 tile, brick, bentonite and pottery — all North Dakota products, are 
 shown. 
 
 Georgia carries the southern banner into the procession, with cotton, 
 corn, tobacco, watermelons, peaches; her marble, timber resources; even 
 gold mining being represented. 
 
 California's grove of giant redwoods marches next, the vistas showing 
 dioramas, murals, colored slides and transparencies, a colorful display 
 of taxidermized fish, corals, and shells from Catalina, and, as special 
 features, a miniature $50,000 model of San Francisco, and Los Angeles' 
 beautiful sixteen-foot diorama, with a most attractive floral and sub- 
 tropical fruits display. 
 
 Indiana follows with a beautiful mural extending around the entire 
 space; a state map showing roads, resources, historical subjects, and 
 State Parks. There is a reception room where paintings by local artists 
 are shown, and outside a beautiful formal garden with statuary. 
 
 Minnesota comes with a contrasting garden representing the source 
 of the Father of Waters; her exhibits tell of the North Woods, Ten 
 Thousand Lakes and her great industries. 
 
 Texas, which has existed under six flags in her tempestuous history, 
 offers a display of her near-tropical plants and trees of the lower Rio 
 
 Illinois Host Building 
 
 [901
 
 Grande, and other exhibits which show her wide range of agriculture, 
 industry and natural resources. 
 
 Missouri next relates her story of varied industries, the playground 
 of the Lake of the Ozarks, one of our largest artificial lakes, in picture 
 and cyclorama. 
 
 South Dakota presents an exhibit of mining and agriculture and a 
 model of Mount Rushmore, where Gutzum Borglum is carving the like- 
 nesses of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roose- 
 velt on the mountain side. 
 
 Mississippi has devoted its space to the demonstration of her agricul- 
 ture, industries, raw materials, power, health, recreation and education. 
 
 Michigan is stressing her tourist facilities, with a hall in which a 
 temperature of 64 degrees is maintained. A picturesque waterfall leaps 
 over a rocky precipice into a deep woodland pool in which Michigan 
 trout swim about. 
 
 Colorado brings an elaborate display of her vast richness in mining, 
 agriculture and industry; her scenic beauties, framed by a reception 
 room in modernistic decoration. 
 
 Florida has four exhibits — among her sister states, a colorful patio 
 of a Florida residence, surmounted by a sky of varying daily tints. In 
 the center plays a fountain. Sculptures, murals, dioramas and glassed-in 
 exhibits tell of her farm and industrial life, supplemented by a garden 
 of exotic plants and trees; on the lagoon shore the state has planted a 
 citrus grove of orange and other semi-tropical fruits; on the lagoon 
 floats a spongeboat from the Greek colony at Tarpon Springs, where 
 the divers plunge beneath the waters for sponges planted in the lagoon; 
 in the Home and Industrial Arts area is a Florida home, built largely 
 of materials native to the State. 
 
 The Illinois Host Building 
 
 On the Avenue of Flags, south and across the way from the Adminis- 
 tration building, the silver and gold Illinois Host building offers its 
 welcome to all the world. Its 70-foot tower surmounts a structure 
 arranged for the specific purpose of hospitality. Within is an auditor- 
 ium with a stage, spacious loimges, and rest rooms. 
 
 Here are headquarters for Governor Henry Horner of Illinois, 
 chairman of the Illinois Commission, and Louis L. Emmerson, vice- 
 chairman and former governor, and members of the commission. They 
 extend the welcome of the State to visitors from far and near. 
 
 A Lincoln Shrine 
 
 Three rooms of the Host Building are devoted to an unusual showing 
 of the life of Abraham Lincoln, great citizen of Illinois. There is a 
 reproduction of the living room of the Lincoln home in Springfield, and 
 a replica of the famous Lincoln statue by Lorado Taft. Une relics from 
 private collections, including those of (jovernor Horner, Illinois State 
 Historical Society, and Oliver R. Barrett, of Chicago, are shown. 
 
 r9ii
 
 Foreign Participation 
 
 The true international cliaracter ol" the Exposition is indicated in' 
 the dramatic and exotic displays from foreign nations. 
 
 In response to the invitation of the United States many nations 
 are participating ofticially while others are represented by some i)hase 
 of their industrial, social, or cultural life. 
 
 Colorful Italy 
 
 Symbolically prophetic of the flight of 24 Italian planes, under com- 
 mand of General Balbo, leaving Rome in June for Chicago, Italy's 
 building stands at the extreme southern end of the Avenue of Flags in 
 the shape of a giant airplane. With her 450 exhibits, she will tell a 
 dramatic story of her remarkable achievements in engineering, physics, 
 medicine, geography, astronomy, agriculture, shipping and aviation from 
 the times of the Caesars to the present day. The great engineering feat 
 of draining the Ostian marshes and the reclamation of valuable land for 
 agriculture and port development will be a part in these displays. 
 
 The Italian exhibits occupy space not only in the national pavilion, 
 but have spread themselves into the upper left wing of the Hall of 
 Science, into the Adler Planetarium, and even overflow into the Museum 
 of Science and Industry in Jackson Park. After the conclusion of the 
 Exposition the Italian government has generously donated the entire 
 display to the Rosenwald Museum. 
 
 The British Empire 
 
 On the railroad tracks near the Travel and Transport building, one 
 of the world's most distinguished trains, the British "Royal Scot," will 
 be shown. 
 
 The Irish Free State has a prominent exhibit inside the same build- 
 ing where you will find a delightful display of fine linen, laces, cloth, 
 rugs, and paintings by Irish artists. 
 
 Within the Travel and Transport building Palestine is represented 
 by tourist displays. 
 
 In the south third of the great hall of the Travel and Transport 
 l^uilding will be found the Canadian exhibit — a huge airplane view of 
 the country, 130 feet in length, and below it a display of the products 
 of Canada, and an alluring travel story, told with dioramas and trans- 
 parencies, picturing Canada's many unusual tourist attractions and her 
 flora and fauna. Included in this exhibit are large and accurate ship 
 models of the Canadian Pacific, and Canadian National Steamship 
 companies. 
 
 [92]
 
 The Republic of Mexico 
 
 On tracks near the Travel and Transport building is the palatial 
 Presidential train from Mexico with the marvelous collection of the 
 Monte Alban jewels. 
 
 Denmark and Norway 
 
 Denmark has exhibits in the Hall of Science, near those of Italy, 
 which contribute to the telling of the story of the basic sciences. Xorway 
 sends her training ship, Sorlandet, a three-masted barque of 577 gross 
 tons. She is accompanied by Capt. Magnus Anderson, who was in com- 
 mand of the ship which Xorway sent to the Fair in 1893. The Sorlandet 
 is moored at the southern tip of Northerly island. 
 
 The Grand Duchy o\ Luxemburs 
 
 The (jrand Duchy of Luxemburg which lies surrounded by France, 
 Germany, and Belgium in northwest Europe, is represented by an elab- 
 orate tourist exhibit, in the Travel and Transport building. 
 
 The Chinese Village 
 
 At Sixteenth street just south of the Bendix Lama Temple you will 
 see the replica of a walled village from China. Occupying its own 
 shrine, is a carved jade representation of a Chinese temple of seven 
 stories, standing 50 inches high. It took 18 years and a small army of 
 artists to achieve this very beautiful work of art. The exhibits them- 
 selves are a veritable treasure house of porcelain, lacquer wear, silks, 
 embroideries, rugs, furs, carved ivories and furniture. 
 
 The Chinese silk industry will play an important part in the indus- 
 trial section. An exhibit of surpassing interest is that of specimens 
 from the cave deposits near Peiping, where was found the Pekin man 
 who lived 500,000 to a million years ago. Interesting relics of the 
 expedition which discovered the Pekin man will accompany this display. 
 
 Entertainment is furnished by the Imest troupe of acrobats that has 
 ever left China and there will be dramatic interpretations by leading 
 Chinese actors and actresses. 
 
 Japan Nearby 
 
 Japan has brought over a typical example of her architecture — a 
 tuo-storv building immediately west of the Chinese village. .\n army 
 of workmen and engineers came over from Japan bringing their own 
 tools and materials to construct the building. Here are housed fine 
 examples of Japanese china, cloisonne, embroideries, silk work and 
 countless examples of the world-famous Japanese handicraft. 
 
 .\ typical Japanese tea garden is one of the features of this unusual 
 Oriental display. The charming ceremony of tea drinking as practiced 
 in Japan is added to by dainty Geisha girls with all the atmosphere and 
 colour which only Nippon can give. The process of making silk from 
 the cocoon to the finished article is shown by experts in this industry. 
 
 r93i
 
 The resulting development of the surrounding country, due to the con- 
 struction of the South Manchurian railway, will represent the more 
 serious industrial and engineering genius of the Japanese nation. 
 
 Czechoslovakian Pavilion 
 
 Czechoslovakia has a building across from that of Italy, housing a 
 gorgeous display of products of its varied industries, colorful and gay, 
 and showing you something of the life of this industrious nation. 
 
 Dominican Republic 
 
 The Dominican Republic has a model of the Columbus Memorial 
 lighthouse, the tribute to the discoverer of America, who was cast into jail 
 there for several years. You will find it on Northerly island, near the 
 Electrical building. 
 
 Sweden Shows Revived Industry 
 
 Near Sixteenth street, also, is the Swedish pavilion, with an unique 
 architecture, "just two boxes," someone called it, in which is displayed 
 an exhibit of modern applied art and containing a marvelous collection 
 of rugs, draperies, shawls, and upholstery cloths, and beautiful glass- 
 ware from the famous factory at Orrefors. This exhibit exemplifies a 
 striking example of the revival of home industries under the lash of 
 economic necessity. The exhibits here will bring delight to those who 
 are interested in the application of modern design to home decoration. 
 
 Moroccan Village 
 
 In the same area is the Moroccan village consisting of typical "Souk" 
 or arcade of shops with muezzin's tower dominating the whole. The 
 streets are paraded by typical Moors in costume, while camels pad their 
 way through this wonderful reproduction of Northern Africa. All the 
 color and allure of Morocco appears in the shops selling barbaric jewels, 
 leather goods, carpets, rugs, camel cloths, and perfumes. 
 
 Egyptian Pavilion 
 
 Immediately south of the Horticultural building is found the Egyp- 
 tian pavilion, a replica of typical Pharaonic architecture approached by 
 an avenue of sphin.xes. The development of the country under the 
 autonomic government which Egypt has recently gained will play a 
 prominent part in the exhibits. 
 
 The wonderful tourist attractions, already so well known, have 
 their place, while archeological discoveries are not neglected. 
 
 Foreign Scientific Displays 
 
 Exhibits on medicine in the Hall of Science will have contributions 
 from many foreign institutions, including in addition to those from Italy 
 and Deiimark, displays by the Pasteur Institute of France, the Robert 
 Koch Institute of Berlin, the Deutches Museum of Dresden, and the 
 Wellcome Research Institute of London. 
 
 [94]
 
 Industry in Fascinating Phases 
 
 Industry and its enterprises permeate A Century of Progress as do 
 light and color, and the spirit of carnival. 
 
 New notes — innovation — colorful and varied expression. Static 
 exhibits always in minority; living, thrilling, moving demonstrations 
 everywhere dominant. 
 
 Thousands of exhib- 
 its are to be found in 
 miles of exhibit halls, 
 virtually all telling an 
 item, or a page, of a con- 
 nected story of the voice 
 of science, speaking in 
 terms of achievement. 
 
 Just below the Hall 
 of Science is the General 
 Exhibits Group, devoted 
 entirely to industries. In 
 its five pavilions, de- 
 signed by Harvey Wiley 
 Corbett, and stretching 
 southward like a fluted 
 section of colorful scenic 
 canvas, appear as wide 
 a variety of products as 
 could be imagined. Many 
 are shown in the making, 
 all displayed in unusual ways, ranging from coal to fine gowns. 
 
 Enter pavilion No. 1, and a striking display of the steel industry 
 greets you. A mammoth mural details the uses of steel. There are oil 
 derricks, and small steel houses, and the model of a hundred-story 
 building. At one side a ladle pours, at intervals, molten steel — a start- 
 ling simulation effected by cunning lighting. Nearby is told, by means 
 of five scenes, the step-by-step process of making steel. Farther along 
 sheet metal steel work is exhibited. 
 
 Stories of Oil 
 
 Next door to the steel companies, the story of oil is told. A large 
 sunken map of oil field territory, ingeniously lighted, indicates the dis- 
 tribution from many cylinders, and from a funnel shaped container, 
 through numerous spouts, to a vast area of consumers. A miniature 
 
 [951 
 
 Decorative Detail, General Exhibits Group
 
 The Gutenberg Press 
 
 refinery gives an interesting picture, and two great cutaway engine 
 cylinders show the process of oil lubrication. Here also is a modern 
 airplane cockpit in which you may sit and capture the sensation of 
 steering a plane. 
 
 The Graphic Arts 
 
 Graphic arts come into their own in the second pavilion. From the 
 Gutenberg museum in Mainz, Germany, has come the rare Gutenberg 
 press, on which Johannes Gutenberg printed many of his books. With 
 it is a copy of the famed original Gutenberg bible, valued at more than 
 $100,000. 
 
 In a foundry, workmen dressed in costumes of the days of Gutenberg 
 cast type as souvenirs. 
 
 Miniature working models demonstrate the extensive and intricate 
 problems of printing, engraving, and paper making, and you see the 
 processes by which materials are turned into newspapers and magazines. 
 
 The evolution of these arts from the day of Gutenberg to the present 
 use of giant high-speed, multi-color presses, is graphically portrayed with 
 many types of presses in action. An extensive display of work done by 
 modern methods stands witness of a hundred years of progress in this 
 means of communicating information. 
 
 Display of Office Equipment 
 
 Tn Pavilion Xo. 3 you may see the development of business efficiency, 
 manifested in the small corner store as well as in the mammoth factory, 
 as it is exemplified in the office equipment which the necessities of busi- 
 
 f%l
 
 A Pavilion of the General Exhibits Group
 
 ness, growing constantly more complex, has demanded. Here you will 
 see modern types of furniture, manufactured to meet the needs of econ- 
 omy in time and money. Machines that have replaced the old grocery 
 store "till" to make the small business man, and the farmer, for that 
 matter, in a measure an efficiency expert, can be seen. You find here 
 the evolution of business methods throughout the nation told in historical 
 displays. You see the most modern of cash registers, teletyping ma- 
 chines, calculating machines of ingenious design, but easy to use, comp- 
 tometers, and other examples of man's inventive genius in solving the 
 problems of a complex mechanical civilization. If you wish to operate 
 these machines, provisions will be made for you to do, so that you may 
 become familiar with their intricacies. 
 
 The Great Nassak Diamond 
 
 In Pavilion No. 4 is a spectacular exhibit of the combined inter- 
 national diamond industries. Included in this magnificent display is 
 the famous Nassak diamond, once the right eye of the God Siva, in a 
 temple at Nassak India. The diamond is valued at $500,000. Other 
 diamonds with a value of a million dollars more can be seen, too. 
 
 The great diamond is guarded by amazingly elaborate means. It 
 reposes in a cabinet of inch-thick glass, above a drill-proof safe. The 
 top of the safe folds back, permitting the cushion on which the famous 
 gem rests, to rise for display. But, should the glass be struck, even 
 though not broken, an "electric eye" would cause the diamond to sink 
 swiftly into the safe, and the safe close. Tear gas would flood the enclo- 
 sure, and guards with gas masks, always nearby, would rush to the spot, 
 and would seize the thief before he could get away. At the same instant, 
 
 The General Exhibits Group (Photo copyrisht Kaufmann & Fabry)

 alarms would sound in a detective's room, where men wait constantly 
 to bring reinforcements. 
 
 The Xassak diamond was first seen by white men in the Twelfth 
 century. In the Eighteenth century the Siva Temple was looted and 
 the diamond carried to London. It originally weighed eighty-five carats, 
 but by cutting it has been reduced to 78^ carats. It is a flawless, blue- 
 v\hite stone, said to be the finest diamond outside crown jewel collections. 
 
 You see a diamond mine in operation, a native Kaffir krall where 
 the workers live, and diam.ond cutters at work. 
 
 An African Diamond Mine 
 
 At the mine mouth is a 36-foot elevator scaffold to lower the African 
 laborers, stripped to breech clouts, to the tunnel below the level of the 
 lake. You can go down into the tunnel, twelve feet below the floor, and 
 see Kaffir and Zulu laborers drilling and digging in the "blue ground" 
 where diamonds are found. Fifteen tons of this "blue ground," contain- 
 ing more than 3,000 carats of "raw" diamonds, were brought from Kim- 
 berley, South Africa, for this display. Two diamond mine engineers are 
 in charge, as the tunnel had to be lighted, timbered and piped, exactly 
 as in the real mines. 
 
 The rock is hoisted from the mine, and run over agitator tables, in 
 semi-liquefied form. \'aseline grease "catches" the diamonds, while the 
 lighter earth is washed on. Then the tables are scraped, and the grease 
 melted in wire mesh baskets in kettles; the rough diamonds remain 
 in the baskets. After that they are sorted, the flawed and discolored 
 stones segregated for industrial uses, and the pure stones for jewelry 
 sales. You see, nearby, the grinding, cutting, and polishing processes. 
 
 The mine is a gift of the diamond mining industry to Chicago, and at 
 the conclusion of the World's I^air it will be transported bodfly to the 
 Museum of Science and Industry. 
 
 In addition to^the diamond mine are many brilliant and interesting 
 displays representing various phases of the jewelry industry. 
 
 The main feature of one of the large watch exhibits shows how the 
 correct time is recorded from the stars and how that time is used in 
 regulating watches. 
 
 Shirts in the Making 
 
 You may watch shirts made, by thirty, high-speed machines, in 
 Pavilion Xo. 5, and can see a diorama showing the method of pre- 
 shrinking, known as the Sanforizing process given to all cotton materials 
 before manufacture. 
 
 The tooth paste industry shows the manufacture of tooth paste 
 from the preliminary steps through the many different stages to the 
 lacquering and baking of the enamel on the finished tube. The hosiery 
 exhibits have in operation, actual machines showing the minute 
 mechanism which weaves the most delicate hosiery. You can buy the 
 
 [99]
 
 same huse you have seen made. Also, in the fifth pavilion, can be seen 
 in miniature all the costumes of the world's most famous women 
 throughout the ages. Fabrics will be represented, one exhibit being in 
 the form of a large pedestal upon which are draped in gradation of 
 delicate colors the finest of fabrics used in the latest gowns. A complete 
 story of how each fabric is made and what it is principally used for will 
 be made clear to visitors. 
 
 Sears Roebuck Building 
 
 A building which strikingly carries out the modern architectural 
 scheme of the Fair is that of Sears Roebuck and Company. It has a 
 commanding position on the Avenue of Flags. Across from it and a 
 bit to the north, is the Administration Building, near the North 
 entrance. 
 
 It is windowless, but has a circulating air plant with an air moving 
 capacity equal to that of 1,800 ordinary six-room residences. A 150-foot 
 tower rises from the base, and the grounds about it are beautifully land- 
 scaped. The architects were Ximmons, Carr & Wright. 
 
 A children's playground is one of the features of service provided. 
 You may use the telephone or telegraph, check parcels or wraps, obtain 
 information about rooms, hotels, transportation, or the exposition itself. 
 There is an emergency hospital, and a restaurant. The broad wings 
 of the building offer places to rest, and there are refreshments and 
 recreations here as well as within the building. 
 
 Exhibits, pictures, and demonstrations tell the story of merchan- 
 dising. An illuminated map shows how widespread has been the influence 
 of this well-known company in the distribution system of our nation. 
 
 The Sedrs Roebuck Building 
 
 [100]
 
 The Firestone Buildins 
 
 Next door to the Twenty-third Street entrance is the Firestone 
 building, designed by Burnham Brothers. Standing on the hillside, its 
 eastern view is compassed by the horizon over the lake, while to the 
 north it looks down Lief Ericksen drive past the General Exhibit group 
 
 to the Hall of Science. 
 
 When you step into 
 the building you will 
 first see an ultra mod- 
 ern tire factory, fully 
 equipped, embodying the 
 latest methods of manu- 
 facture, and actually pro- 
 ducing Firestone automo- 
 bile tires. 
 
 The process, from the 
 masticating of the bales of 
 crude rubber just as they 
 are received from the 
 Firestone Liberian planta- 
 tions, to the automatic 
 wrapping of the tire for 
 shipment, is displayed. 
 Beyond the end of the 
 -^-'' - • ' " - . production line is an oper- 
 
 Firestone Tire-Makins Machine ating model of a revolu- 
 
 tionary testing machine, showing the gruelling high speeds to which tires 
 are subjected to bring out facts and characteristics which would other- 
 wise only be revealed by thousands of miles of service over a period 
 of many months. 
 
 A display auditorium is devoted to dynamically portraying the safety, 
 endurance, and performance of the tires, tubes, batteries, spark plugs, 
 brake-lining and other automotive products manufactured by the 
 Firestone company. 
 
 The A & P Carnival 
 
 Another industry which comes to the Fair with color and action is 
 the Atlantic & Pacific Tea company, which has created an area for 
 pleasure, without admission charge, opposite the Twenty-third Street 
 entrance. There is a big open air marine park, with an amphitheater 
 to seat several thousand, surrounding a revolving stage where daily 
 programs of entertainment will be given. You may enjoy concerts by 
 Harry Horlick and his Gypsy orchestra, Gypsy dancing, marionettes, 
 specially arranged by Tony Sarg. With George Rector presiding as 
 master of ceremonies you are promised a real carnival. 
 
 In case of rain, the stage can be revolved so that the crowds may 
 watch the performance from the shelter of gay canopies. Every after- 
 
 [101 1
 
 noon there are tea dances on the l)oar(hvalk, which is canopied and hung 
 with colorful lanterns. North of the amphitheater is the A & P Experi- 
 mental kitchen, with a trained die- 
 titian in charge. 
 
 The Great Havoline 
 Thermometer 
 
 Just north of the Twenty-third 
 Street entrance, a great 2 00- foot 
 tower rises. By day and by night 
 it can be seen from many sections 
 of the Fair and the great numerals 
 on its three faces can be easily 
 read. It is a thermometer, per- 
 haps the largest the world has 
 ever seen, and it accurately tells 
 A Century of Progress visitors the 
 temperature in Chicago. 
 
 The numerals are ten feet high, 
 and the graduated temperature 
 columns are made of neon tubing, 
 electrically regulated by a master 
 thermometer. Its ofticial name is 
 the Havoline Thermometer, but 
 officials of the Indian Refining 
 Company dedicated it as a "Monu- 
 ment to Chicago's Climate." Ten 
 miles of wire, 3,000 feet of neon 
 tubing, and 60 tons of steel were 
 required for the structure. In a 
 building at the base of the tower 
 the company presents an exhibit 
 
 of oil refining equipment and products. Here you see what keeps your 
 
 motor running smoothly, and why. 
 
 The Time and Fortune Building 
 
 Another building, representative of the publishing industry, is that 
 of Time and Fortune, two national magazines. It is located just south 
 of the Hall of Science on the edge of the lagoon. This building is of 
 particular interest to college women. The opportunity is offered them 
 to make this a meeting place for afternoon tea. It also offers parents 
 an information service concerning schools for their daughters. 
 
 The Woman's College Board maintains headquarters in the building. 
 Among the woman's colleges represented on the board are Smith, Bar- 
 nard, Wellesley, Randolph-Mason, Radcliffe, Yassar, Bryn-Mawr, Wells, 
 Lake Erie, Goucher, Mount Holyoke, Connecticut, Milwaukee-Downer, 
 Mills, Trinity, Wheaton, Elmyra, and Sweetbriar. 
 
 [102] 
 
 The 200-ft. Havoline Thermometer
 
 The Christian Science Monitor 
 
 The Christian Science :\Ionitor pavilion, just south of the Hall of 
 Science and on the west bank of the lagoon, represents the only news- 
 paper to have a building of its own at the Fair. It will house in one 
 room a complete Monitor display showing the unique journalism of the 
 Monitor, an international newspaper, as well as other Christian Science 
 literature. Beyond the first exhibit room is a typical Christian Science 
 reading room, such as may be found in many cities, and its ideal location, 
 overlooking the lagoon, is inviting and restful. 
 
 American Radiator Company's "Garden of Comfort 
 
 A beautiful and extensive garden of tall trees, shrubbery, and bloom- 
 ing flowers surrounds a reflecting pool in an area just south of the 
 General Exhibits group. Statuary contributes to the beauty of the area, 
 in which the American Radiator Company and Standard Sanitary Cor- 
 poration has two buildings. 
 
 One contains an artificial "weather-making" plant, demonstrating 
 the modern methods of air cooling, along with other exhibitions that 
 tell a story of the new science of air conditioning. The second building 
 contains an exhibition of the latest developments in bathroom design 
 and sanitary plumbing. Five display kiosks erected in the restful garden 
 give color to the scene. 
 
 Prehistoric Oil Exhibit 
 
 How geological knowledge is utilized in locating and gauging the 
 extent of the earth's store of crude oil is the theme of the Sinclair 
 Refining Company's outdoor exhibit between the Twenty-third Street 
 entrance and the General Exhibits group. 
 
 While nature was mellowing the crude petroleums that are used 
 
 t*oday to refine motor oil, strange forms roamed the earth. 
 
 ,'" And so, in the midst of great rocks, shrubbery, and trees, similar to 
 
 ^"..^lose of the period that geology knows as the mesozoic age, you may 
 
 see ingenious reproductions of the dinosaurs, long since disappeared.

 The Fine Arts at the Fair 
 
 A hundred years ago, few great paintings had found their wax- 
 across the waters to America, and the Fine Arts had little opportunity 
 for expression, either in homes or in museums. 
 
 Today, it is possible to assemble in Chicago, for A Century of 
 Progress, a collection of selected masterpieces valued at $75,000,000, 
 and all but one. Whistler's "Portrait of My Mother," come from private, 
 or museum collections in the United States. The famous Whistler comes 
 from the Louvre Museum in Paris, lent through the Museum of Modern 
 Art in Xew York. 
 
 The pricelessness of the collection made it logical that A Century 
 of Progress should utilize the building that is internationally known 
 as an art institute. This loan collection represents the largest and finest 
 in the entire world, gathered together under one roof. Twenty-five 
 museums, and two hundred and fifty privately owned collections, have 
 been drawn upon, augmenting the already exceptionally great pictures 
 for which the Institute is famous. 
 
 Whistler's Portrait of His Mother — Loaned by the Louvre, Paris 
 
 [104]
 
 Paralleling the general exhibits of science and history, within th^ 
 Exposition grounds, the fine arts exhibit shows you the progress of art 
 in the past one hundred years. It is divided into three sections: 1. The 
 old masters. 2. Outstanding paintings of the past one hundred years, 
 stressing particularly the French and American contributions. 3. Con- 
 temporary art, with special emphasis on the work of American artists. 
 
 "The theme of the World's Fair is also the theme of the exhibition 
 of fine arts," Robert B. Harshe, director of the Art Institute, says. "It 
 has been broadly interpreted here to mean, not only a showing of 
 famous and characteristic works of the last one hundred years, but a 
 century of progress in American collecting. Today our private collec- 
 tions and museums contain treasures of amazing importance. Since 
 1833, magnificent works by Fra Angelico, Botticelli, X'elasquez, El Greco, 
 Holbein, Titian, Raphael, Rembrandt, Hals, and Boucher, to mention 
 only a few, have found their way into American hands." 
 
 So, you may roam the magnificent halls of the Art Institute, or 
 attend lectures prepared for World's Fair visitors, and gaze upon and 
 hear discussed some of the finest examples of painting and sculpture the 
 world has produced. All the galleries on the second floor of the Art 
 Institute have been arranged so that you may follow, in chronological 
 order, the sequence of art history. 
 
 Priceless Primitives 
 
 Italian primitives, and German, and French, and Belgian, and Dutch 
 and Spanish, occupy five galleries. A room devoted to German and 
 French primitives of the Thirteenth century starts the story. Here you 
 see, among others, Holbein's "Portrait of Catherine Howard," the Jean 
 Clouet "Charlotte of France," a remarkable small head by Corneille 
 de Lyon. 
 
 Dutch and Flemish primitives oft'er you a study of the work of 
 virtually every artist of merit of the times. Two Rogier van der Wey- 
 dens, a Memling "Madonna," a brilliant Jacob Cornelisz van Amster- 
 dam, a Geraerd David, a Lucas van Leyden, the famous "St. Jerome" 
 by Peter Christus. 
 
 The works of the early Italians occupy four galleries in all. The 
 Segna, "Madonna and Saints," Sasetta's "Procession of the Magi," 
 "Crucifixion," by Masolino, Giovanni Bellini's "Madonna," and a paint- 
 ing of two Oriental heads by his brother, Gentile, are there. Three 
 famous Botticelli paintings, "Madonna and Child," "Adoration with 
 Angels," and a portrait of a young man, supposedly portraying the fea- 
 tures of Botticelli himself, in themselves would make a noteworthy, 
 long-to-be-remembered exhibition. But you may see also the "Rape of 
 Deianira," by the brilliant Pollaiulo, and Bernardo Daddi's "Vision of 
 St. Dominic," and "Lady with Rabbit," by Piero di Cosimo. 
 
 And now you come to the Spanish primitives, among which you see 
 the famous Ayala altarpiece (dated 1396) and "St. George and the 
 
 I 105 ]
 
 Dragon," by the Master of St. George who receives his name from this 
 much reproduced painting. 
 
 A Glorious Showing of Sixteenth Century Italians 
 
 Sixteenth century painting is superbly represented, with three com- 
 positions of the noted Titian, whom some critics call the great artist 
 of all the ages. His "Venus and the Lute Player" is one of the three, 
 and others in this section include the beautiful "Christ Walking on the 
 Waves" by Tintoretto, and "Rest on the Flight into Egypt" by Veronese. 
 Further on is an exhibit dedicated to a group of later Italian painters, 
 Tiepolo, Guardi, Canaletto, Magnasco, Mola, Piazzetta, and others. 
 
 Dutch Incomparables 
 
 Here are great Dutch masters of the time of Rembrandt in one large 
 gallery. Van Dyck's portrait of "Polixena Spinola;" the magnificent 
 "Aristotle," added to the institute's famous collection of Rembrandts; 
 landscapes of Hobbema and Ruisdael; and the superb "Skittle Players" 
 by Pieter de Hooch among them. 
 
 Treasures of Spain 
 
 Eleven paintings by El Greco, including the Institute's own great 
 masterpiece "The Assumption of the Virgin," acquired at the beginning 
 of the period that saw El Greco's rise to rank with Titian, Rembrandt 
 and V^elasquez, give to the exhibit not only one of the finest of Spanish 
 collections, but also the largest showing of this artist's work in America. 
 "\'iew of Toledo," by El Greco, acclaimed as one of the greatest of 
 landscapes; Goya's "Capture of the Bandit by the Monk," "The Boy 
 on the Ram" and "The Bull Fight," are exhibited, with canvasses by 
 Ribera, Morales, Zurbaran and other Spanish masters. 
 
 Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century 
 English and French 
 
 "Queen Charlotte" and other great Gainsboroughs; the Constable, 
 "Stoke-by-Nayland;" Reynolds' "The Honorable Mrs. Watson;" and 
 other works of these English painters of the Eighteenth century, with 
 Raeburn, the Scot, represented by several portraits; and examples of 
 Lawrence, and Turner, and Romney, and Bonington continue colorfully 
 the history of art. Seventeenth century French masterpieces, works of 
 Poussin, Claude, and the two LeNains; and Eighteenth century French 
 paintings, including work by Boucher, Lancret, and Pater; "The Indus- 
 trious Mother" by Chardin; and the David, "Mme. de Richmond and 
 Her Son;" and the Ingres, "Mile. Gonin," prepare you for the pre- 
 Impressionist period of the first half of this century and completion of 
 the story of a century of progress in painting. 
 
 A large gallery given to the pre-Impressionist period in France gives 
 you Delacroix, among his examples being the much discussed "Spring," 
 and Corot's "View from Volterra," the "Jumieges," and the Institute's 
 
 r 106 1
 
 own great figure piece, ''Interrupted Reading." Millet and the Rarbizon 
 School and Courbet and Daumier are represented in the same room. 
 Courbet's ''Toilette of a Bride," and Daumier's "The Uprising" and 
 "The Drinkers," are some of the famous paintings shown in this room. 
 You come now to a study of Impressionism in France, beginning with 
 Monet's brilliant "Argenteuil" in 1868, and many excellent examples 
 of the work of Monet and Degas, among the examples of the last-named 
 being two race-course subjects, "Carriage at the Races" and "Jockeys," 
 and his wonderful "Uncle and Niece." 
 
 The One-Man Exhibit 
 
 Cezanne is so honored because he is called "the greatest painter of 
 this century" and though dead twenty-five years, his influence still 
 is a powerful one. You will see his "Still Life with a Clock" and the 
 vivid "Still Life with Apples," and "Road to Auvers," and "The 
 Bathers," among an impressive array of seventeen of his most renowned 
 paintings. 
 
 Manet and Renoir continue the story — "Christ Mocked," "The 
 Music Lesson," the two "Philosophers," the "Boulogne Roadstead" 
 among the ]\Ianets; and "Luncheon of the Boating Party," "The Moulin 
 de la Galette," the "Bather," and "Diana, the Huntress," and "The

 lowed with works of Gauguin, Seurat, and Henri Rousseau in a single 
 gallery; "Tahiti Women and Children," "Tahitian Mary" among thir- 
 teen canvasses of Gauguin; and "A Sunday on the Grand Jatte," one of 
 the greatest of Seurat's examples. 
 
 Matisse and Picasso carry on the story with canvasses such as 
 Matisse's "Decorative Composition," and "White Plumes," "Pont St. 
 Michel;" and Picasso's "The Woman with a Fan," "Figures in Pink" 
 and "The Woman in White."

 uals to lend generously of their collections to present one of the greatest 
 American exhibits ever shown. With them are shown contemporary 
 works of artists of France, Italy, Germany, England, Switzerland, 
 Poland, Norway, Spain, Russia, Mexico and Czechoslovakia, 
 
 And Noteworthy Sculpture 
 
 The Art Institute possesses an exceptional collection of originals and 
 casts of Nineteenth century sculpture, and to this collection have been 
 added important pieces representing the work of leading American con- 
 temporaries, including Charles Cary Rumsey, Stirling Calder, Lorado 
 Taft, Paul Manship and William Zorach. The work of Maillol, Bour- 
 delle, Rodin, Jean Poupelet and Despiau of the French; and of Lehm- 
 bruck. Belling, Di Fiori, Barlach, Kolbe, of the Germans is shown, as is 
 that of others of international importance, including Mestrovic, Milles, 
 Kai Nielsen, and Epstein. The sculpture is scattered through the cor- 
 ridors of the first and second floors, and shown in some of the contem- 
 porary galleries. 
 
 A History of the Graphic Arts 
 
 Paralleling the Century of Progress exhibitions of painting and 
 sculpture there is found in the Print Galleries of the Art Institute, an 
 exhibition of the greatest masterpieces in the history of the graphic arts. 
 It is in two sections: "Prints by Old Masters," and "A Century of 
 
 riosi
 
 The St. Lazare Station, by Deouard Manet — Loaned by Mr. Horace Havemeyer 
 
 Progress in Printmaking." Some of the finest collections in the world 
 are represented. 
 
 In the section devoted to prints of the old masters, the first two 
 centuries of the development of the graphic arts in Europe are exhib- 
 ited. Beginning with the early pictorial woodcuts of Germany, the 
 progress of this, the oldest graphic art, is traced to religious teaching in 
 the early Biblical pictures, through its use as illustration in the printing 
 from wooden type of books of the fifteenth century, to its culmination, 
 during the early decades of the sixteenth century, in the work of Di'irer 
 and Holbein. The progress of engraving in the north of Europe is rep- 
 resented, Italy's activities are traced from the rare niello prints to the 
 great accomplishments of Pollaiuolo and Mantegna. 
 
 Lovely Etchin3s 
 
 The exhibition of the art of etching begins with Diirer's "Christ on 
 the Mount of Olives," 1515, and its development in Germany, and 
 France is followed through the work of .-\ltdorfer and Hirschvogel, Callot 
 and Claude. The rise of lithography is shown from Delacroix to Dau- 
 mier, followed with examples of the present day revival in a section 
 devoted to contemporary work. 
 
 You may listen, if you wish, to three lectures daily in Fullerton Hall, 
 by a staff of eight lecturers, and visit the galleries under the guidance 
 of a museum instructor.

 Special Events 
 
 Fetes of Many Nationalities 
 
 When Postmaster General Farley officially opened the gates of 
 A Century of Progress on May 27, he ushered in an era of color and 
 festivity. With the opening of the Exposition, plans were rapidly being 
 completed for special celebrations in varied fields of activity. A glance 
 ut the schedule of events which will be taking place each day over the 
 Exposition grounds assures a visitor to the Exposition of his choice of 
 pageantry, sports, music, lectures, military drills, and all forms of 
 entertainment and interest:' 
 
 On„specially designated days American citizens of foreign descent 
 will give splendid fetes featuring the customs, songs, dances, and cos- 
 tumes of the lands from which their fathers came. On these National 
 Day Celebrations the festive spirit will prevail; distinguished visitors 
 from the respective nations will be honored, and flag poles will fly the 
 particular colors of the day. 
 
 Scandinavia with its various groups, the Swedish, the Norwegian, 
 Danish, and Finnish will find its colors flying from June 19 to June 23, 
 culminating in a joint Scandinavian Day in Soldier Field. 
 
 Following closely on June 25, the Czechoslovakian Sokol, the gym- 
 nastic festival which has become tradition in that country, has been 
 arranged as it is presented annually in Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakian 
 societies expect to fill Soldier Field stadium again in August. Features 
 of the day are the junior calisthenics, folk dances, and singing by color- 
 fully costumed participants whose number approaches three thousand. 
 
 On Jugoslavian Day, July 2, girls in national costume will be found 
 dancing at various points on the grounds, just as they might be found 
 on a fete day in their old country. Similar programs are planned by 
 the Armenian, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Ukranian, Austrian, and Lithu- 
 anian groups. 
 
 July 17 to July 23 is the Polish week of hospitality. During that 
 week and particularly on July 22 will be depicted the historical events 
 and the contribution of the Poles to the United States in the past one 
 hundred years. Tableaux, floats, and typical Polish festivities will 
 create a picturesque and gay atmosphere. 
 
 In celebration of the birthday of Queen Wilhelmina of the Nether- 
 lands, the Knickerbocker Society of Chicago will be host to the people 
 of Dutch descent. 
 
 On Welsh Day under the leadership of Dr. Daniel Protheroe the 
 Welsh Male Choir is scheduled to give concerts during the day, singing 
 works composed by Welshmen. 
 
 [110]
 
 Ancient, modern, and Greek music and dancing, coupled with a visit 
 from the minister of Greece, will mark the official celebration of that 
 country. 
 
 The Jewish Agency from Palestine have made plans for a magnificent 
 pageant in Soldier Field on July 3, "The Romance of a People," depict- 
 ing the histsry of the race from Abraham to the present day. 
 
 So on, throughout the five months, outstanding national groups will 
 bring in succession, to A Century of Progress, the feeling and atmosphere 
 of all spots of the globe. 
 
 State Celebrations 
 
 The various states of the Union are celebrating on special days in 
 the majestic Court of States, the first of these being Alabama Day on 
 June 3. The feature of the day will be the concert of the Girls Glee 
 Club from the Women's College of Montgomery, Alabama. 
 
 Outstanding among the state programs is California Day on July 7, 
 the date marking the 87th anniversary of the raising of the American 
 flag at Monterey, California, by Commodore Sloat, when taking posses- 
 sion of California for the United States. The Pacific Coast Band and 
 Symphony Orchestra will provide California music. 
 
 In addition, many important cities have selected days when their 
 residents and local dignitaries may gather at the Fair en masse. Among 
 the many reunions planned, perhaps the one which will have particular 
 sentiment and significance will be that of the old Columbian Guards who 
 served in the Exposition of 1893. A great number of these gentlemen 
 have responded to the invitation of the Exposition and plans to meet 
 with friends of long ago on that day. 
 
 Scientists Meet 
 
 The Science Congress, sponsored jointly by the American Associa- 
 tion of the Advancement of Science and A Century of Progress, will 
 bring to the Exposition from June 19 until June 30, a group of its most 
 distinguished visitors. Men of eminence in every field of science are to 
 be guests of the Exposition. On the evening of June 19 in the Hall 
 of Science the reception of welcome will be given. 
 
 Shows and Other Activities 
 
 On May 30, extending through June 10, the spectacular Army 
 show marks the beginning of events in Soldier Field. An extensive sports 
 calendar with national and international contests offers its sport devotees 
 a choice of witnessing the champions in action in every known sport. 
 
 From the bleachers just south of the Administration building, facing 
 the North lagoon, Fair visitors may witness the most thrilling of water 
 activities known in this country. Swimming and diving championships, 
 national outboard motorboat championship regattas, national cam^oing 
 and rowing championships, fly- and bait-casting tournaments and dare- 
 devil stunts are featured among the innumerable programs arranged. 
 
 [Ill]

 From these same bleachers thrill-seeking crowds will witness 
 weekly, brilliant and spectacular night frolics in the Lagoon on the 
 Lake front, illuminating the already fairy-like picture with fantastic 
 designs. 
 
 Musical Programs 
 
 Music at A Century of Progress is under the supervision of Dr. 
 Frederick A. Stock, conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and 
 director of ^Nlusic for the Exposition. The program for the duration of 
 the Fair is eclectic: amateur, volunteer and professional. 
 
 There is no temple of music or auditorium in the fair grounds 
 adapted for concert purposes, but the spacious courts and terraces of the 
 Hall of Science, the Hall of States and the great Soldier Field stadium, 
 are well suited to the presentation of large choruses and band concerts. 
 Many of these, both professional and non-professional, have been sched- 
 uled. The quiet lagoon, surrounded by spacious boardwalks and over- 
 looked by a large grand-stand, presents an ideal setting for the many 
 musical pageants on floating barges, or stages, planned this summer. 
 
 The Chicago Friends of Music, with the sponsorship of A Century 
 of Progress, have planned a series of symphony concerts to be presented 
 during June and July in the Auditorium theater. These concerts will be 
 presented every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evening by the Cen- 
 tury Symphony Orchestra under the leadership of Dr. Stock. 
 
 This orchestra will present two concerts in the court of the Hall of 
 Science early in June and it is the plan of the Chicago Friends of Music 
 to develop a series of these symphony concerts within the fair grounds 
 during August and September. 
 
 Programs of popular music are presented by various state and 
 national groups, choral societies, public schools and musical organiza- 
 tions throughout the Fair. They will be announced from week to week 
 in the official program. 
 
 Munday Choristers, who have, in recent years, made a name for 
 themselves as one of the outstanding groups of negro talent in the city, 
 will provide programs of spirituals. 
 
 Civic and educational music circles have enthusiastically joined 
 forces in bringing to the E.xposition leading choral societies, high school 
 bands and orchestras, college glee clubs, and high school singing. Early 
 in the music schedule, the Choral Directors' Guild presents on June 4 a 
 festival chorus of ,S,000 voices which will be ably assisted by the Sym- 
 phony Orchestra under the direction of Dr. Frederick A. Stock. The 
 National Music Supervisors' Conference has succeeded in scheduling on 
 the E.xposition grounds almost daily concerts by bands, orchestras, glee 
 clubs, such as X'alparaiso University Choir, Tennessee State Teachers 
 College Band, University of Cincinnati Glee Club, and the Wisconsin 
 All-State High School Hand concerts. Forms of music from the most 
 elementary to those of grandest style and highest artistic technique are 
 being provided. On July 4, the Rural School Chorus of six hundred 
 
 [113 1
 
 will give a concert in the great Hall of Science, and on August 23 the 
 Houston Civic Opera Association of Texas will sponsor its elaborate pro- 
 duction of "Aida," which has already won much applause in the 
 southwest. 
 
 Restaurants, dancing pavilions and other concessions will furnish all 
 that could be desired in the way of dance and popular music throughout 
 the summer. 
 
 Other Activities 
 
 In addition to the above activities there will be military drills by 
 Toronto Scottish Regiment, National Guard activities, an International 
 Chess tournament, and contests of every description. 
 
 Hundreds of professional and fraternal organizations have selected 
 dates on which they will bring men and women who are foremost in 
 the world of affairs to participate in their programs. To mention a 
 few, there is Electric Day on June 7; Engineers Celebration, June 28; 
 Daughters of the American Revolution, June 14; Real Estate Board's 
 observance of Home Owners' Day, June 16; and assemblies of such 
 groups as the Chicago Association of Commerce, the American Institute 
 of Banking, and the National Coal Association. With Chicago as the 
 convention city of the world this summer, organizations from every lead- 
 ing industry and profession will bring their members to mark partici- 
 pation in Chicago's International Exposition. 
 
 A Calendar oF Sports 
 
 Forty national athletic championships, a dozen or more events of 
 international competition, and various sectional contests focus the atten- 
 tion of sport devotees of the nation upon A Century of Progress and 
 Chicago from May 27 to November 1. 
 
 Soldier Field, Chicago's mejnorial to her soldier dead, which faces 
 the Court of Honor, provides one of the world's great amphitheatres, 
 with a possible seating capacity of over one hundred thousand. With 
 this huge horseshoe of concrete as an active sports center, Chicago's 
 water front, airport facilities, golf courses, big league baseball parks, 
 and other places of play complete the picture for a varied and colorful 
 calendar of sports competition throughout the summer months.

 June 23 and 24, Gaelic football between the Irish Champions and the 
 United States team June 10 and earlier in the month, June 4, the 
 National Golf-Driving and .Approach Championships. 
 
 Five Collese Football Games 
 
 Including two Big Ten conference games, visitors to the E.xposition 
 will have opportunities to witness five excellent football games as a part 
 of the Soldier Field program. One of these noteworthy gridiron events 
 of the fall schedule is an international contest and one an important 
 
 intersectional meeting which may 
 have a bearing on the national 
 football championship. Follow- 
 ing is the schedule: 
 
 East -West .Ml-Star Football 
 Game, .August 24; University of 
 Mississippi vs. Me.xico City Uni- 
 versity, September 16; North- 
 western University vs. Iowa, Sep- 
 tember 30; Northwestern vs. 
 Stanford, October 14; and Chi- 
 cago vs. Michigan, October 28. 
 The first of these is the result of 
 the efforts of Coach Dick Hanley 
 of Northwestern and Coach How- 
 ard Jones of the University of 
 Southern California to bring to- 
 Football at Soldier Field gether Stars of 1932 teams.
 
 On the Lal<e and Lagoon 
 
 Lending thrills and color to the \orth Lagoon, outboard motorboat 
 regattas and stunt races will be staged throughout the summer, reaching 
 peaks on June 25 in the Hearst Gold Cup regatta, and on September 23 
 
 and 24, when competition will 
 be greatest in the National 
 Outboard Championships, 
 Swimming and diving contests 
 will hold an equal interest. On 
 July 14, 15 and 16 the Na- 
 tional A. A. U. swimming and 
 Diving Championships for 
 men will be held, with the 
 National Water Polo games 
 vieing for applause at the same 
 time. Japan is sending its 
 champions to Chicago to chal- 
 lenge the best of ^American 
 swimmers July 20, 21 and 22. 
 Close on the heels of this 
 At the Water Carnival event, comes the Women's 
 
 National Swimming and Diving of the A. A. U. August begins with 
 the Central States Rowing Regatta on the first, second and third, 
 National Rowing Championships, including a three-quarter mile dash, 
 August 4 and 5, followed by the National Canoeing races August 5 and 6. 
 These six days will bring college and university crews from the east, 
 middle-west, and far west to compete with Canadian crews and oarsmen 
 from rowing and athletic clubs. Not the least important will be the 
 Boy Scout regatta of canoeing on September 16, and t]?e Western States 
 regatta September 9. Fly and bait-casting tournaments, log-rolling 
 contests, and the like will contribute to the excitement. 
 
 The Boys Play Marbles

 who in their respective localities should compete in the Western Section 
 Championship Finals of the National Marble Tournament in Soldier 
 Field from June 26 to 29.

 [116]
 
 And in the Air 
 
 American Air Races at the Chicago Airport will be run tl:e first four 
 days of Jul}-. \\'orld famous flyers will again participate in the Inter- 
 national Air Races and the Gordon Bennett Balloon Race at the Curtiss- 
 Reynolds Airport September 1,2,3 and 4. One of the most spectacular 
 air events of the Fair, and of the year, is the flight from Italy of 
 24 planes, bearing Italy's famous aces, in the latter part of June, weather 
 conditions determining the time of starting from Rome. This armada 
 of the air will land north of Grant Park, and be water-taxied to the 
 exposition grounds. 
 
 Other Sports Events 
 
 Among the many sports events held in and about Chicago will be 
 the National Open Golf Championship at the Xorth Shore Country 
 Club June 9 to 11, at which Gene Sarazan will defend his championship; 
 
 the National Clay Court Tennis Champion-

 There will be race meetings at Washing- 
 ton Park, Arlington and other Chicago tracks 
 during the summer and fall at which the 
 outstanding performers of the American turf 
 appear. The Arlington classic, in July, is 
 one of the great races of the season. 
 Major League baseball games are almost a daily occurrance at 
 Wrigley Field, where National League games are played, or at Comiskey 
 Park, home of the Chicago White Sox of the American League. The 
 Chicago Cubs are 1932 National League Champions. 
 
 A Chess Congress and Championship bridge games will be open to 
 participation and observation 
 in the Hall of Science at cer- 
 tain times during the summer. 
 In fact, there will be zestful 
 competition by champions in 
 almost every field of sporting 
 interest, almost any day for 
 the visitors to A Century of 
 Progress until the Exposition 
 closes and what more could a 
 fan ask?

 Fun and Special Attractions 
 
 Fun reigns in the Fair. Nor is it confined merely to the strip exactly 
 1,933 feet long that is devoted to the barker, the blare, and the ballyhoo. 
 It is everywhere — wholesome fun and fascinating adventures for those 
 who would drop their cares and don the cloak of conviviality. 
 
 The Towerin3 Skyridc 
 
 Two towers stand like giant sentinels, 1,850 feet apart, seeming to 
 guard the Hall of Science on the Mainland, and the Hall of Social 
 Science across the Lagoon — support of the spectacular Skyride, great 
 thrill feature of A Century of Progress. Back in '93, it was the monster 
 Ferris Wheel that everybody talked about, and everybody rode. Today, 
 striking example of the progress of science even in thrill makers, is this 
 suspension bridge principle applied to an entertainment feature — and 
 perhaps the near solution of some problems of overhead transportation. 
 
 They are higher than any building in Chicago, these two strong steel 
 towers, imbedded deep in cement. Six hundred and twenty-eight feet 
 they rise into the skies, with observation floors atop them. If you stand 
 in one of these observation rooms at night and look down, you gaze 
 upon a magic city that seems to float in a vast pool of light. From the 
 towers, great searchlights sweep the sky, the lake, and over the great 
 city to the west, to clash with other massive beams of light. In the day, 
 look down, and it is a pattern of many hues, like a gigantic, gay rug, 
 or a vast garden of colorful flowers. Far to the south you look upon 
 Indiana, and to the north upon Wisconsin, to the west, Chicago and 
 Illinois, and eastward across the lake you can see Michigan. Airplanes, 
 and dirigibles may pass, as cars do on the ground, and clouds may swirl 
 about you. You are standing a hundred feet higher than the observa- 
 tion level of Washington monument. 
 
 On a 200-foot level the rocket cars offer you a beautiful and, 
 mayhap, thrilling ride across the lagoon. These cars are suspended 
 from a cableway which has a breaking strength of 220,000 pounds per 
 square inch of cross section. Only one span in the world, that of the 
 George Washington bridge across the Hudson River just above New 
 York City, exceeds the Skyride cableway in length. The towers and 
 rocket cars can handle 5,000 visitors an hour. 
 
 The Skyride was built by five great companies, Otis Elevator Com- 
 pany, Mississippi Valley Structural Steel Company, John A. Roebling's 
 Sons Company, Inland Steel Company, and Great Lakes Dredge and 
 Dock Company and is an appropriate expression of their faith in the 
 future of American industry. 
 
 [119]
 
 The Children's World's Fair 
 
 Five acres of land in A Century of Proj^ress are set aside for chil- 
 dren — and for grownups, too, who still can feel the thrill of make be- 
 lieve. The Enchanted Island lies between the lagoon and the lake, and 
 from it rises a towering mountain. About it are giants, and through the 
 area on Northerly island move guards and other employees as out of 
 Fairyland, dressed appropriately for their parts. 
 
 A huge push-wagon stands fifteen feet high, with a big boy on its top 
 who moves, and underneath it is a shop where wagons are made. There's 
 a house of marbles, and a children's restaurant. There are story telling 
 ladies, and pla^-grounds with all sorts of devices. 
 
 The youngsters can slide down the mountain side, and there's a fairy 
 castle, a mechanical zoo, a miniature railroad, a marionette show. They 
 have their own theater, too, with plays staged by the Junior League of 
 Chicago; such as "Peter Pan," "Cinderella," "The Birthday of the 
 Infanta," "The Ordeal of Sir Gawayne," and "The Captivity of Eleanor 
 Lytle," which is a true story from the life of Mrs. John Kinzie in the 
 early da}s of Chicago. 
 
 There are trained attendants who will amuse the children while their 
 parents go away to other parts of the Fair to enjoy themselves. It's a 
 land of allure for the children, a spot they'll never forget, even when 
 they are as old as their parents now are.

 The Midway 
 
 The Midway — City of a Million Lights — revives vivid memories of 
 the Fair of '93. You encounter its first flaring banner when you turn 
 south from the Twenty-third Street entrance. Visit it by day, and you 
 may think of brilliant bands of color connecting two great sections of 
 the Fair; at night, you might think of a gorgeous scintillating trinket. 
 Though such are the effects achieved with colored, and modern white 
 lighting, that even in this area of spectacles and sideshows, strange and 
 unusual attractions, and circus cacophony, beauty has been attained. 
 
 Ride the breath-taking roller coaster, or the flying turns that combine 
 the thrills of a toboggan with those of a coaster. Play the games. Watch 
 the tricks of magic. Visit the place where daring youths dive into tanks 
 and wrestle with alligators. Enter here where beauties of the Orient 
 dance to strange tunes, and wrestlers, fencers, swordfighters, and 
 Egyptian diviners and jugglers, give you glimpses of Cairo, Damascus, 
 Tunis, Tripoli, and Algiers. See the "apotheosis of America's womanly 
 pulchritude," the "living wonders," the Siamese Twins, giant people, 
 and other "freaks" gathered from the four corners of the earth. 
 
 Turn aside to visit the Midget X'illage, where sixty Lilliputians live 
 in their tiny houses, conduct their diminutive activities, serve you with 
 food, and entertain you with theatrical performances. See the strange 
 snakes, giant pythons, and other rare reptiles. And here's the Dance 
 Ship, double decked, with two dance floors and two orchestras on the 
 lakeshore, accommodating 2,000 or more dancers. See the Pantheon 
 de la Guerre, largest war picture in the world, characterized vv^ith the 
 thrilling action of the World War, or the Battle of Gettysburg, which 
 was here in '93. Eat in the Circus Cook House, with sawdust floor. 
 
 The Streets of Paris 
 
 On the lower road is a city, a Paris moved over to America, for 
 entertainment. Here, in narrow, stone paved streets, are gendarmes, 
 sidewalk cafes, quaint shops, chestnut vendors, strolling artists, milk 
 maids, and musicians. There is music and dancing, wax works, and an 
 atelier. There's a beauty revue, and clowns, peep shows, a chamber 
 of horrors. The streets are named as in Paris, the buildings faithful 
 reproductions. There are even some of the famous Parisian restaurants. 
 
 Places to Shop 
 
 Chicago is one of the great shopping centers of the world. Her 
 great stores are renowned, her smart shops famous, the Merchandise 
 Mart is the largest building in the world. And within the grounds there 
 is a reflection of the city's outstanding position in this respect. You 
 may shop at the Fair to fill almost all needs. In many of the buildings, 
 products are offered for sale, and also in the concessions. Two shopping 
 districts in particular, offer a wide range. Science Bridge, at Sixteenth 
 street, which connects, across the Lagoon, the Hall of Science and the 
 Hall of Social Science, has at its curving north end a terrace, with a ramp 
 
 [121 1
 
 leading from Leif Eriksen drive. Along the terrace are many inter- 
 esting shops for drugs, jewelry, souvenirs and novelties, pipes and 
 smoker's articles. 
 
 At Twenty-third street is the beautiful plaza and the Twenty-third 
 Street bridge, curving with the end of the south Lagoon. On this plaza, 
 and the bridge, is a concourse of shops, each with a 19-foot frontage, 
 and with glass show windows. There is another drug store here, an 
 elaborate men's furnishing shop, furniture displays, toys, gifts of all 
 kinds, jewelry, photograph studios, movie studios, candy, theater ticket 
 offices and many others. This concourse is declared to rival in beauty 
 the Ponte \'ecchio in Rome. 
 
 An Aviation Show 
 
 Go south of the IVIidway, and, across from the Travel and Transport 
 building, there is the Air Show. Famous planes which have made his- 
 tory are on display — planes which have crossed the Atlantic, the 
 Pacific, and planes which have made speed records, won all kinds of 
 races, and set endurance and altitude marks. One of the most 
 famous of these is the ship in which Glenn H. Curtiss won the $10,000 
 prize for a flight from Albany to New York, a distance of 143 miles, 
 covered in two hours and fifty minutes — back in 1910. Another is the 
 Columbia, in which Chamberlin and Levine crossed the Atlantic to 
 Germany. Still another is the Woolroc, in which Col. Art Goebel and 
 Lt. Davis flew from Oakland, Cal., to Honolulu, 2,400 miles, in 25 hours, 
 17 minutes. Every type of ship is shown, and a complete history of 
 aviation given. 
 
 Hollywood 
 
 Just south of Enchanted Island is a place where you may go and 
 see motion pictures in the making and actual radio broadcasting. This 
 is the World's Fair Hollywood. 
 
 Motion picture productions are filmed daily, and you can watch- 
 sound recording and "shooting" through a glass before a 60-foot stage. 
 Amateur movie photographers may bring their own cameras to Holly- 
 wood and shoot scenes on the outdoor sets which surround the building. 
 News reel companies throughout the summer are filming various motion 
 picture celebrities visiting the Fair, as guests in this Hollywood. Burton 
 Holmes, Inc., operates modern sound recording equipment in the studio, 
 and RCA Institutes, Inc., has charge of the technical direction. 
 
 From two well-equipped studios programs will be broadcast, in many 
 cases by the leading stars of this marvelous new means of entertainment 
 and instruction. In addition, there will be exhibitions of television — 
 the art of tomorrow. 
 
 Also, in what is called a Spectaculum, you may see something wholly 
 new in motion pictures — "natural vision pictures," or three-dimensional 
 pictures that give depth to the characters as though they were on the 
 stage. 
 
 [122 1
 
 A Livestocl< and Horse Show 
 
 Just south of the Travel and Transport building you can see a 
 horse show, a livestock exhibition and a dog show. The purpose of 
 the display is to picture the development of the horse from the wild 
 west mustang to the racing thoroughbred, and of cattle from the old 
 Texas longhorn to the broad-backed Holstein, Hereford, and Polled 
 Angus steers. You will see here the largest horse, a white purebred 
 Percheron, brought from France, weighing 3,000 pounds and standing 
 nineteen hands high. Most of the horses have been exhibited in famous 
 horse shows. The cattle exhibit includes a sacred Brahma steer of India. 
 The dog show includes many varieties of pedigreed dogs. 
 
 Goodyear Blimps 
 
 The other side of the Travel and Transport Pageant from the Air 
 Show is the Goodyear acreage. Here, the Puritan and her sister ships 
 will give you a dirigible ride over the grounds, and show you how it 
 feels to have the lake and city below you and the clouds around you. 
 
 A Bathing Beach 
 
 Where the lake comes in to wash upon the north tip of Northerly 
 island, Jantzen's Beach offers children or grown-ups a place to bathe 
 safely, in a scene as colorful as the rest of the Fair. There are diving 
 boards, and clean sands, and lifeguards, and gay umbrellas. The beach 
 will accommodate many thousands and provide you a taste of the 
 seaside resorts of the world.

 The World a Million Years Ago 
 
 It is hard for us to conceive of a world inhabited by monsters other 
 than those of industry. But, when we cross the broad plaza at Twenty- 
 third street to a spherical building on the hillside by the lagoon, we see 
 examples of prehistoric creatures that would, in the flesh, terrify the 
 bravest man. 
 
 Step onto a concourse, in motion, and you will be transported 
 through "The World a Million Years Ago." You are carried past 
 a tunnel in which is a series of six dioramas display the animals of the 
 ice age and "man" before the dawn of history. The Java or Ape Man 
 family, the Piltdown man. Neanderthal man, and the Cro-Magnons — all 
 animated — are there before your eyes. Then you enter the main 
 arena. Here, gigantic, prehistoric beasts and reptiles are brought to 
 life — platybelodons, a huge hairy mammoth, giant gorillas, saber-tooth 
 tigers, and ground sloths are seen in conflict. Also, the glyptodon, 
 triceratops, pterodactyls, the massive dinosaur, brontosaurus, and the 
 death struggle of the vernops and dimetrodon are represented in their 
 natural habitats — seem to be alive, breathing, uttering cries, and moving. 
 
 The Belgian Village 
 
 Immediately adjoining the Twenty-third Street entrance you find 
 yourself pulling the latchstring of a Sixteenth century Belgian Village. 
 The houses and buildings are exact reproductions of those seen by the 
 American tourist in Belgium today. Cafes, typical mediaeval homes, 
 a fish market, an old church and a town hall go to make a displa} 
 which will be unsurpassed. 
 
 The village is inhabited by craftsmen in the costumes of hundreds of 
 years ago. Ancient folk dances are a feature of the main square. 
 Typical Belgian milk carts drawn by dogs and driven by merry milk- 
 maids add to the picturesqueness of the village. 
 
 The Ukrainian Pavilion 
 
 If you should enter the exposition at the Thirty-seventh Street 
 entrance, one of the first things to catch your eye is the Ukrainian 
 pavilion, the display of a group of Ukrainian societies of America and 
 Europe. It is a picturesque building in which there is a theater where 
 folk plays, native dances, and choral singing are given. Exhibits of 
 the painting and sculpture of the Ukraine, and a restaurant distinctively 
 that of the valley of the Dnieper, lend another colorful note to this area. 
 
 The Polish-American Pavilion 
 
 At the northerly end of the island is the Polish-American pavilion 
 where the famous painting of Golgotha occupies the greater part of the 
 ground floor. Polish handicrafts in all the wealth of their variety, folk 
 dances. Polish music and drama will take their place in this colorful 
 display.

 Historical Group 
 
 The Drama of Old Fort Dearborn 
 
 Go south beyond the Midway, and near Twenty-sixth street step 
 within a log stockade that stands to the left of the roadway. Before you 
 pass within, look back and scan the Chicago skyline with its towering 
 skyscrapers; drink deep of the scene about you that voices a century 
 of progress. 
 
 For the next moment you are to be carried back a hundred years and 
 more, back to a day when Chicago's few settlers huddled close to Old 
 Fort Dearborn, and the fort housed soldiers to protect them, and to hold 
 the line of advancing civilization against the northwestern tribes. Here 
 is contrast almost breathtaking — a century spanned with a few short 
 steps, and with little need for imaginative aid. 
 
 This is Old Fort Dearborn as it actually was, faithfully reproduced 
 in every detail, constructed even as toiling men built the first Fort 
 Dearborn in 1803. The original, when completed, stood near where 
 Michigan Avenue crosses the Chicago River. And along this same 
 Michigan Avenue, on a day in August, 1812, while war with Great 
 
 Fort Dearborn — The Parade Ground 
 
 [125]
 
 Britain was raging, men and women marched from the fort and were 
 massacred by the Indians; only a few survived that terrible day. 
 
 As you enter the massive log gate leading into the stockaded 
 inclosure you see a quadrangular parade ground, in the center of which 
 is the 70-foot flagpole. The flag that flies from it carries, you will note, 
 fifteen stars for the states of 1812. Guards are dressed in the blue and 
 white uniforms of the era. Double rows of log palisades, ten feet and 
 five feet in height, are so arranged as to permit the fort's blockhouses 
 to command the terrain outside, and the inner space between the pali- 
 sades. On the northeast corner is a blockhouse, and one on the south- 
 west corner. Along the walls are narrow slits, through which, in the 
 original fort, soldiers trained their guns. 
 
 Here are the soldiers' quarters, and across from them those of the 
 officers. On the east side are the commanding officer's quarters, next 
 to them the supplies building, then the powder magazine. 
 
 You may spend hours looking at maps, and records, and relics. 
 Photostatic copies of the old fort, other historical documents and 
 records, and books of the period, decorate the walls. There is a fac- 
 simile of a treaty between the United States and the Sac and Fox tribes, 
 in 1832, by which the government paid the Indians 3 cents an acre for 
 the land of northern Illinois. An old four-poster bed, brought from 
 England 115 years ago, a corner cupboard more than a hundred years 
 old, pewter dishes brought from England 124 years ago, tools and fire- 
 arms, and an old oxen yoke and a quaint wooden meat grinder 125 years 
 old. On the table a sample ration for a day of the soldier of the time is 
 laid out — a pound of flour, a pound of meat, vinegar, a half gill of 
 whisky, salt, and a piece of soap. 
 
 In a corner of the enclosure is an open fireplace, over which hangs 
 a huge iron pot, and perhaps you can picture the fire glowing on winter 
 nights, and women of the fort making soap for the garrison. In the 
 rooms are other fire places, with andirons, long handled frying pans, 
 huge kettles and spits for roasting fowls. Warming pans that made beds 
 
 Entrance to Fort Dearborn 
 
 [126]
 
 comfortable on cold nights, and trundle beds for the children, which 
 conveniently slid under the larger beds in the daytime; a chum of maple 
 with wooden hoops, and a dough tray; are all shown. The fort's store 
 is reproduced with jerked beef, skins and knives, calico cloth and corn 
 meal, ready for sale. 
 
 Two brass cannons that were brought to the original fort in 1804, 
 and two others made in Paris, peer menacingly out of the blockhouses. 
 They were loaned to the Exposition by the United States Military Acad- 
 emy at West Point. Daughters of the American Revolution, The Amer- 
 ican Legion, The Chicago Historical Society, The Smithsonian Institu- 
 tion, and the U. S. .-\rmy and Navy all contributed generously to this 
 display. 
 
 A Tragic History 
 
 Here within these log walls you reconstruct the story of old Fort 
 Dearborn, established in 1803 and named after General Henry Dear- 
 born, Revolutionary soldier, then Secretary of War. In command of the 
 troops sent out to build the garrison, was Captain John Whistler, grand- 
 father of the famous artist, whose "Mother" and other paintings you 
 see in the magnificent art exhibits in the Art Institute. He brought 
 with him his family. The summer after the fort was finished, more than 
 half the inhabitants of the little community were stricken with fever 
 from the impure water and inadequate drainage. 
 
 But the Indians then were friendly, and there was fishing, and hunt- 
 ing, and a plentitude of firewood, and food. Captain Whistler was 
 relieved in April, 1810, and was succeeded by Captain Nathan Heald. 
 One day in April, 1812, after war had been declared with Great Britain, 
 a band of Winnebagos, who formerly were friendly, suddenly changed 
 their attitude. They murdered two settlers, farming outside the stock- 
 ade. In August, General Hull, Governor of Michigan Territory, fearing 
 for the safety of the small fort and its garrison, ordered that it be evacu- 
 ated; that Commandant Heald destroy his guns and ammunition, and 
 withdraw to Fort Wayne. 
 
 At 9 o'clock on the morning of August 15, the garrison marched out. 
 It was led by a famous Indian Scout, Captain William Wells, and nine 
 friendly Miami warriors he had assembled upon hearing of the rumored 
 removal to Ft. W^ayne. Then came the soldiers, only about 50 in all, 
 and then the women and children. 
 
 Along the lake shore they moved, southward, with an escort of 
 Pottawattomies. In another mile or two a .shot rang out; then came 
 fierce, desperate fighting, in which the women joined with the men. They 
 fought with butcher knives and anything else that would serve as a 
 weapon, grappling in hand-to-hand struggles with the circling redmen. 
 When it was over, twenty-six soldiers, twelve civilians who had been 
 sworn in as militiamen, two women and twelve children were dead; and 
 many of the fifty or more survivors wounded. Next day the fort was 
 looted; then burned. 
 
 \ [1271
 
 Captain Heald was taken prisoner, and was paroled later by the 
 Indians. Among the documents in Old Fort Dearborn, are to be seen the 
 quarterly returns made out by him, one of which records the casualities 
 of the tragic day, another a copy of his parole. 
 
 The De Saibie^ or du Sable^ Cabin 
 
 Near Old Fort Dearborn you can see a reproduction of the cabin of 
 Chicago's first citizen, Jean Baptiste Point de Saible, who lived on the 
 north bank of the Chicago River, and traded in furs, even before the fori 
 was built. He was a prosperous, educated negro of French extraction. 
 The cabin gave way to what then was considered a mansion, and in it 
 he collected Chicago's first art collection and library. It is thought he 
 established his first cabin in 1777 and left in 1800, to go further south 
 in Illinois. 
 
 The Marquette Cabin 
 
 And further along, you may visit a cabin erected as tribute to Father 
 Jacques Marquette, who came by boat down the south branch of the 
 Chicago River to Lake Michigan, in 1673. 
 
 To keep his promise to the Illinois Indians that he would return to 
 them "within four moons," the brave priest-explorer defied the danger of 
 his exhausted condition, and after his second visit the following winter, 
 died in a little hut in Michigan, by the stream that bears his name. 
 
 The Life and Lore of Lincoln 
 
 By Old Fort Dearborn stands another stockade of logs, in which arc 
 five buildings, each marks an epoch in the upward struggle of Abraham 
 Lincoln. 
 
 Here is the tiny, one-room cabin near Hodgenville, Ky., where he was 
 born, and about which he played as a boy. Then the second home 
 he knew, larger, and, to the boy who had known only bitterest poverty, 
 a bit luxurious, on Pigeon Creek in Indiana. Then the little gen- 
 
 Interior Rutledge lavern 
 
 [1281
 
 Abraham Lincoln's Boyhood Home and the Lincoln-Berry Store 
 
 eral store in Salem, 111., where Lincoln read law, and many of the 
 books that broadened his eager mind; and a tragically tender reminder 
 of his early romance, the Rutledge tavern, where he wooed and won 
 Ann Rutledge, only to suffer so greatly that he contemplated suicide, 
 when she died of pneumonia. Lastly, the Wigwam, where Abraham 
 Lincoln, following his memorable forensic struggles with Douglas, the 
 "Little Giant," emerged as a candidate for the Presidency. 
 
 All but the Wigwam are actual reproductions, in size and furnish- 
 ing, of the structures themselves. The Wigwam is miniature, though a 
 sizeable structure withal. Its original stood at the corner of Lake and 
 Market streets, Chicago. 
 
 In these buildings you will find furniture of the time of Lincoln, and 
 many mementos of the martyr's career. Among them is a cedar cane 
 which Lincoln whittled for a friend, a hammer he used as a surveyor, 
 articles from the store, which he and William F. Berry ran in partner- 
 ship, the fire tongs of the original Rutledge tavern, a small trunk and 
 other articles of furniture the immortal Lincoln used. Further inter- 
 esting studies of Lincoln's life will be found in the Illinois Host building, 
 on the Avenue of Flags. 
 
 It is fitting, indeed, that, in an exposition of the progress of a century, 
 the most important man of that century should hold a high and im- 
 portant position. Abraham Lincoln holds that place by right and by 
 acclamation. The story of his life and memorable actions is told in a 
 splendid series of exhibits as an act of reverent homage. 
 
 [129]
 
 Eating Places on the Grounds 
 
 Regardless of where you may be in the grounds, when hunger calls, 
 there's an answer nearby. There's a wide variety of menus, whether 
 you choose with the eye of the epicure, to eat in leisure, and dance 
 
 perhaps, or whether in haste you 
 wish only a light repast. 
 
 Prices in the Fair, by rule of 
 A Century of Progress, are well 
 within reason, and the eating 
 places, whether elaborate restau- 
 rants with entertainment, or sand- 
 wich stands, are supervised. You 
 may dine and dance on the cool 
 shore of the lake, or overlooking 
 the peaceful lagoon, or take a bite- 
 and-sip in smaller places where 
 sandwiches and refreshments are 
 served, or eat in the novelty circus 
 tent, or in a desert half-way station 
 of the Southwest or in an early 
 mining camp. 
 
 Interior — Mueller-Pabst Cafe 
 
 On the Mainland 
 
 Let us say that you are somewhere in the neighborhood of the 
 Administration building, at luncheon or dinner time. Eitel's Rotisserie 
 is at the west end of the bridge across to Northerly Island. A lunchroom 
 for a quick bite, an outdoor dining room on the edge of the lake for a 
 more leisurely dinner. Food is 
 served, too, in the Sears Roebuck 
 building, just across from the 
 Administration building. 
 
 On down the Avenue of Flags, 
 to the left, you may dine on Ital- 
 ian food in the Italian pavilion, 
 or just beyond drop into the 
 northwest corner of the Hall of 
 Science, where one of the many 
 Crown Food Century Grills that 
 are scattered throughout the ex- 
 position, is found. Or, if you 
 choose Chinese food, across the 
 way from the Hall of Science is 
 the Chinese pavilion, and just a 
 bit south is the Japanese pavilion where you may dine on the food of 
 the Nipponese, cooked by skilled Japanese chefs. Or, turn to your 
 
 [1.30] 
 
 Interior — Old Heidelberg Inn
 
 left in the Hall of Science, and you may eat in the world's largest 
 
 drug store. 
 
 If you are in the area south of the Hall of Science, you may stop in 
 
 at jMuUer's Pabst Cafe, a spacious restaurant with outdoor tables, too. 
 
 Further on, one of the 25 Downy Flake Doughnut Shops in the grounds 
 
 offers crispy doughnuts and coffee. Come then to the Streets of Paris, 
 
 and here is French food, the Cafe 
 de la Paix may beckon with its 
 invitation to leisurely dining and 
 dancing. There are little sidewalk 
 cafes, also. A bit beyond, Old 
 Heidelberg Inn, with its German 
 cookery and cooled rathskeller 
 and lakefront restaurant. And on 
 the other side of the road, back 
 a little ways, the Belgian \'illage 
 with its allure of quaintness, and 
 Belgian dishes. 
 
 In the midst of the Midway, 
 you may care to dine a la circus 
 folk, in Fisher's Circus Cook- 
 house, or in the Dance Ship, 
 
 Interior — Edwards' Rancho 
 
 group, mvjtes 
 bv the mem- 
 
 looking out upon the lake, where 2,000 to 3,000 people can be accom- 
 modated. Or here is the Adobe House, where they roast Texas steers 
 and serve them. Again, the Midget Milage is a place to dine, where 
 the Lilliputians are the cooks and the waiters. They provide you with 
 food in miniature surroundings, but they guarantee that the portions 
 will not be smaller. 
 
 On a ways, and Rutledge tavern, in the Lincoln 
 you to sit in an atmosphere in a measure hallowed 
 ories of the homely 
 great man, for it is an 
 exact reproduction of 
 the inn where Lincoln 
 courted Ann Rutledge 
 before her tragic 
 death. 
 
 In the midst of the 
 Home Planning group 
 is the Victor Vienna 
 Garden Cafe, which, in 
 the '93 Fair, was "Old 
 Menna," and it is op- 
 erated by the same 
 nroorietor ^^^ Pabst Blue Ribbon Casino 
 
 Farther south, near Thirty-first street, is the Cafe de Alex, where you 
 may dine and dance, and then the Ukrainian pavilion in the extreme 
 
 [131]
 
 south end of the grounds, offers native dishes and old world charm. 
 Here, too, "The Days of '49" offers food in the surroundings of a gold 
 rush camp. 
 
 On Northerly Island 
 
 But, let's say you are on Northerly island when appetite keens. 
 Starting at the north end, you may desire the dishes of Poland, which 
 are served in the Polish pavilion, just south of Adler Planetarium. The 
 Dairy building, just beyond, offers food, and by the bathing beach the 
 Beach Dance Pavilion and Restaurant invites. In the Agricultural 
 building is a Swedish lunchroom. Enchanted Island has a resta'irant 
 for children. Or go on, if you wish, to Miller's Highlife Restaurant, 
 with all manner of fish dishes. On further, and Schlitz Gardens Res- 
 taurant bids to cool, outdoor dining. 
 
 Then, lakeward from the Government building, there are picnic 
 grounds, where you can take your own lunches. 
 
 South of the Government building, too, is the Pabst Blue Ribbon 
 Casino, with orchestras playing, and College Inn entertainers before 
 radio microphones, and on a revolving stage there are terraces for 
 tables outdoors, spacious dining rooms within, and an outdoor garden 
 seating 2,000. 
 
 In addition to these eating places there are scattered through the 
 Fair grounds innumerable sandwich shops, hot dog stands, and specialty 
 concessions where those who wish a hasty snack will find food to please 
 them. 
 
 So, the menus are varied, the offerings many, gustatory delights are 
 in every section of the grounds. Dining at the Fair is not a problem. 
 
 [132
 
 General Information for Visitors 
 
 In traffic control, in transportation facilities, in housing, in prices, 
 in accurate, courteous guide and information detail and in every way 
 that could be conceived as contributory to the visitor's welfare, the 
 A Century of Progress organization, and the City of Chicago, and the 
 State of Illinois have cooperated to command, or to regulate conditions, 
 wherever possible, in the hope of causing you genuinely to feel that 
 you are being entertained by a hospitable, considerate host. 
 
 The Official Medal 
 
 f^^ 
 
 
 
 
 The Official World's Fair Medal is a bronze piece, suitable for 
 keeping as a treasured souvenir, that beautifully expresses the spirit 
 and purpose of A Century of Progress. Its modeling is the work of Emil 
 Robert Zettler, head of the industrial arts section of the Art Institute 
 of Chicago. The first medal struck off was for presentation to Presi- 
 dent Franklin D. Roosevelt. 
 
 On the face of the medal is a strong, swift figure, symbol of energy 
 and action, which represents the intellectual arch between man's 
 resources and man's work. One foot of the figure stands on the pillar 
 of 1833, one on 1933. The words, "Research" and "Industry" give 
 the keynote of the Fair theme. The reverse side of the medal carries a 
 plan of the World's Fair grounds. The medal is in three sizes, 2j4 
 inches wide, 2^4 inches wide and 1)/ inches wide, and will be for sale 
 on the grounds. 
 
 Information About Transportation 
 
 Twenty-five of the thirty-three trunk lines terminating in Chicago 
 operate passenger trains, and approximately 1,500 arrive daily. If you
 
 are one of 60,000,000 people who live within, what is called, Chicago 
 territory, you may leave your home any day, enjoy a delightful dinner 
 on the train, a good night's rest, and begin your enjoyment of A 
 Century of Progress twelve hours after leaving your home. Chicago is 
 the largest railroad center in the world, and 100,000,000 people live 
 within 24 hours' train ride from it. 
 
 You will arrive in Chicago at one of six downtown stations, all 
 within easy reach of the Exposition grounds. The railroads of the 
 nation are cooperating with fast and frequent service, and with special 
 rates, to make it easier for you to attend A Century of Progress, and to 
 bring your families. 
 
 The rate reductions granted by the railroads depend upon the time 
 limit of the tickets, whether going and return routes are the same, 
 whether stopovers are desired, whether tickets are for individuals or 
 for groups. The charge for round trip tickets ranges from one and one- 
 half of the one-way fare down to less than one-third of the regular fare 
 for groups of 100 adult passengers traveling in coaches with a time limit 
 of three days. 
 
 Every railroad ticket office in the United States is an information 
 bureau. Local ticket agents will give information about travel accont- 
 modations, and about the A Century of Progress. 
 
 By Bus and by Air 
 
 Bus routes from every section of the United States bring frequent 
 service into Chicago, and a Bus Union Station is on Roosevelt road near 
 Wabash avenue, less than a half mile from the Exposition grounds, with 
 branch depots in various sections of the city. Air service is frequent, 
 Chicago being one of the great aviation centers of the country, and air 
 lines have added to their equipment to give fast service. 
 
 Passengers arriving at the Municipal Airport can immediately board 
 amphibian planes and be brought to the Pal-Waukee Airport in the 
 Exposition grounds at Thirty-first street, or be taken by bus or cab to 
 hotels, or downtown points. 
 
 By Steamer 
 
 Steamers will bring visitors from the principal cities of the Great 
 Lakes, landing at Navy Pier in Chicago. Smaller steamers and motor 
 boats will then bring these visitors to the Exposition. 
 
 For Those Who Come by Auto 
 
 Fourteen of the main arteries of traffic leading into Chicago are 
 marked, for distances of from 75 to 100 miles, with colorful markers, 
 round in shape, for the guidance of visitors. These highways have been 
 given appropriate World's Fair names, and the signs carry symbols 
 indicative of these names, i. e.. Electrical route, regular Xos. 15 and 42 
 running down through Milwaukee, along Lake Michigan, has the famil- 
 iar clenched fist closed over lightning flashes; Marine route, regular No. 
 
 [ 134]

 Automobile Roads Marked by a Century of Progress 
 
 I 135 1
 
 These markers appear at intervals of from one-tenth to a quarter 
 of a mile. As you come close to Chicago, detour markers appear, 
 indicating the way to different sections of the city. 
 
 On the right side of the road handsome information booths appear, 
 with courteous attendants to give information about directions, about 
 hotel accommodations, rooms in private homes or tourists' camps. 
 These are official information booths, plainly marked with the A Cen- 
 tury of Progress signs. 
 
 Should you be seeking the way to friends or relatives in Chicago, 
 the information clerks will give you minute directions and furnish you 
 with a comprehensive road map. 
 
 Further, if you desire, they will direct you to a telegraph station 
 in the district in which the address is, and a messenger boy will take 
 you to your destination for a small fee. Or, if you wish to know about 
 a hotel or apartment or rooms in private homes, the clerk will give you 
 complete information and direct you how to get there or to a telegraph 
 district oflice, from whence a messenger boy will take you. 
 
 Hotel and Room Accommodations 
 
 Chicago has an amplitude of housing accommodations, it being esti- 
 mated that from one-half to three-quarters of a million people can be 
 comfortably cared for daily throughout the life of the Fair. This in- 
 cludes hotels, rooming houses, apartments and rooms in private homes. 
 
 The prices for hotel service in first-class hotels range from $1.50 to 
 $5 per person a day. The average price for first-class accommodations 
 in the leading hotels is $3 a day. Meals in most hotels are 50 cents to $1 ; 
 meals are .served in many places on the grounds; sandwiches and drinks 
 can be bought on the grounds for 10 and 15 cents. 
 
 Comfortable, clean rooms in rooming houses and in private homes 
 can be procured for as little as $1 a day, or less for long stays. 
 
 About 20,000 apartments, of from two to five rooms each, are 
 available, making it possible for families, or groups, to take a modern 
 apartment, by the week or month, with the cost per person as little as 
 $1 a day, or even less, depending on length of stay.

 enjoy this method of living while attending the Fair. The motor 
 villages are located at strategic entrances of main highways into 
 Chicago, north, west, and south, and near high speed electric transporta-

 congestion of traffic to reach the Exposition. 
 
 These camps have full police and fire protection, and are under 
 regular inspection for health and sanitation by the State Department of 
 Health, with registered nurses and medical care always available. They 
 are equipped with electric lights, baths and showers, bell boy, porter

 Transportation to the Grounds 
 
 Fast and frequent service, by railroad, electric lines, elevated, street 
 car and bus make it convenient for visitors to reach the exposition 
 grounds from any section of the city, or its suburbs. Steamer and motor 
 boat lines parallel these at many points. 
 
 Buses 
 
 All railroad stations are served by buses direct to the grounds. They 
 carry conspicuous "Direct to Exposition Grounds" signs, and come to 
 the Twelfth Street Vehicular Terminal and to the Eighteenth Street 
 entrance. Fares with free transfers are 10c. 
 
 Street Cars 
 
 Street car lines come within walking distance of the grounds from 
 all parts of the city. The cars on these lines are plainly marked and 
 patrons will be courteously assisted by conductors in finding their way. 
 
 Lines direct to the grounds are being rapidly completed. These will 
 feed into the Twenty-second Street car line, which crosses the Twenty- 
 third Street viaduct and deposits passengers at the Twenty-third Street 
 entrance, and at the Eighteenth Street entrance, from all sections. Fare, 
 without charge for transfers, is 7c. 
 
 Watercraft 
 
 ■ Motor boats can be taken from many landings in the Chicago river, 
 Lincoln Park and Xavy Pier, bringing you to landing places at Twelfth 
 street and at Twenty-third street on the lake side of the grounds. South 
 shore suburbs also are served by speed boat transportation, landing at 
 Thirty-first street. Steamers will also be available from Lincoln Park, 
 Jackson Park and Navy Pier. Speed boat fare from Chicago River 
 is 25c. 
 
 [138]
 
 Suburban Trains 
 
 The Illinois Central electric suburban trains, from south and south- 
 west suburbs, and stations along the lake on the South Side, disembark 
 passengers conveniently near bridges thrown across its tracks for all 
 entrances to the Fair. 
 
 Other railroads operating suburban, and urban services feed into 
 the railroad stations, or convenient points for taking other transporta- 
 tion to the grounds. 
 
 Rates within the city limits are governed by distance zones. 
 
 Elevated Lines 
 
 Elevated, or Rapid Transit lines from the south, north and north- 
 west sections of Chicago bring passengers to within 2,000 feet of the 
 Xorth entrance (get off at Roosevelt Road station), within 2,800 feet 
 of the Eighteenth Street entrance (get off at Eighteenth street), and 
 within 3,300 feet of the Twenty-third Street entrance (get off at Twenty- 
 second street). 
 
 Fares with free transfers are 10 cents. 
 
 Parking 
 
 No vehicles except official ones are permitted in the Exposition' 
 enclosure. There is but one parking place immediately at the Fair 
 grounds. This is an area lying from Sixteenth street to Eighteenth street, 
 alongside and east of the Illinois Central tracks, with accommodations 
 for approximately 7,000 cars. 
 
 Charges throughout the city for parking are reasonable. There are, 
 however, a number of commercial parking areas along the westerly side 
 
 A Greyhound Intra-Fair Bus 
 
 [ 139]
 
 of the Illinois Central Railroad, within walking distance of the grounds, 
 as well as various garages and parking areas throughout the city, located 
 conveniently near transportation services. 
 
 Conveniences Within the Grounds 
 
 If you are a stranger in Chicago, and at any time "get turned 
 around" in the city or in the Exposition grounds, it is an easy matter 
 to orient yourself. Remember always that Lake Michigan is east. 
 
 When you enter the grounds, transportation is quickly available. 
 Water craft, great, specially built motor buses, wheel chairs, jinrikishas, 
 offer you comfortable means of conveyance. 
 
 Sixty Greyhound "auto-liners" whose full capacity each is 100 
 persons were especially designed and built for service in the grounds. 
 These buses operate for your convenience in two ways. If you enter, 
 for example, at the North entrance, and wish to get speedily to the 
 south end of the grounds, you may board a bus that operates in a 
 fenced-in speed lane for through service, with stops only at the Twenty- 
 third street area, and the Maya Temple area near Thirty- first street. 
 The loading area is at your right as you enter the grounds. 
 
 Other buses, leaving from the east side of the North entrance, 
 operate more slowly, going around on Northerly island, and permitting 
 you to reach any point you desire. The seats of the buses lie lengthwise, 
 and face outward, permitting passengers a full view. 
 
 Lecture Tours 
 
 Gray Line tours will take you through various buildings, and a lec- 
 turer will explain points of interest. 
 
 Wheel Chairs 
 
 Wheel chairs, pushed by college students thoroughly trained to ex- 
 plain features of the Fair, can be employed at a rate of $1 an hour, for 
 visits anywhere in the grounds. There are 900 of these, and college men 
 were selected from over all the United States to man them. 
 
 Boats on the Waters 
 
 Colorful launches and Venetian gondolas will ply the waters of the 
 lovely lagoons, providing, in their setting of romantic splendor, espe- 
 cially at night, when the lights lend their charm, opportunity for hours 
 of drifting delight and marvelous views, and at the same time furnish 
 transportation from the North entrance to Twenty-third street, to points 
 on Northerly island and the Fair's mainland. 
 
 Boy Scouts Service 
 
 Boy Scouts are on duty throughout the grounds, ready to speed 
 messages, help to find lost children and in any way serve visitors 
 according to the Boy Scout code of courtesy. There is a Boy Scout 
 camp near the \J. S. Government Building on Northerly island, with 
 
 [ 140 ]
 
 105 Scouts in attendance at all times. Altogether, 2,800 of the boys 
 are assigned to service for the Fair. 
 
 Picnic Grounds 
 
 The Fair has set aside a large area just south and east of the U. S. 
 Government building as a picnic grounds. Msitors can take their 
 lunches to the grounds, either as individuals or in large groups. The 
 grounds are on the lake front, the conveniences are free. The Boy 
 Scouts' camp is adjacent. 
 
 Places to Rest 
 
 The buildings of the Fair have rest rooms with modern conveniences. 
 Thousands of gayly colored chairs and benches, scattered throughout 
 the grounds, offer you opportunity to rest as long as you will. 
 
 Attendants 
 
 All guides of the Fair are trained, courteous attendants, and each is 
 equipped to give you full information about A Century of Progress. 
 Apply to them with any complaints, or any request as to directions, or 
 information concerning any of the buildings. 
 
 Information Booths 
 
 A Century of Progress has provided a series of information booths 
 throughout the Exposition grounds. These booths are located in ihe 
 Exposition buildings, concession areas and at other accessible points. 
 The attendants are at your service and are prepared to assist you in 
 locating any exhibit, restaurant or amusement within the grounds. 
 
 The Exposition's Lost and Found Service is conducted through the 
 facilities of the Information Service. Any article lost can be reported 
 to any booth attendant and any article found should be turned in to 
 them. After a reasonable period of time, if the owner does not claim 
 it, it will be returned to the finder. 
 
 Attendants in the information booths are qualified to give you infor- 
 mation about the places of interest and amusement in Chicago, such as 
 churches, parks, museums, theaters, race-tracks, night-clubs, etc.

 locating lodging accommodations will be directed to such sources of this 
 information as have been recognized by the Exposition management.

 Do not leave Chicago 
 without seeing 
 
 "THE HALL 
 OF MIRACLES" 
 
 in the Westinghouse Exhibit 
 
 You really have not seen the Century of Pro- 
 gress Exposition unless you have visited the 
 Westinghouse Exhibit in the Electrical Building. 
 
 One of the most interesting and colorful of all 
 the exhibits on the Exposition grounds, it devotes 
 considerable space to a display of the very latest 
 developments in electrical science, direct from 
 the famous Westinghouse Research Laboratories 
 on "Miracle Hill" in East Pittsburgh. 
 
 Here you will actually see what modern engi- 
 neering skill is preparing for tomorrow — transmis- 
 sion of power by radio, "black light," air condi- 
 tioning, models of stream-lined railroad trains, 
 a miniature automatically-operated steel rolling 
 mill, and many other interesting devices. 
 
 There, you will also find modern industrial 
 equipment of every type and size, from a giant 
 steam turbine model to a delicate light-sensitive 
 electric "eye" that controls great electrical 
 machines. And for the ladies, there is an electri- 
 cally-equipped kitchen and a laundry, with a 
 complete display of Westinghouse dual-automatic 
 refrigerators, ranges, washers, and the whole 
 line of quality electrical appliances for the home. 
 
 Don't miss the Westinghouse Exhibit.

 THE LEADER IN A CENTVRY OF PROGRESS 
 OF REFRIGERATION 
 
 AIR-COOLED 
 ELECTROLUX 
 
 NEW 
 
 THE 
 
 ^OL 
 
 REFRIGERATOR 
 
 Lowest Operating Cost 
 Permanent Silence 
 Freedom from Repairs 
 Gas Company Service 
 
 WHATEVER you look for in an 
 automatic refrigerator, you'll 
 find it in the New Air-Cooled Elec- 
 trolux. And you'll find MORE! A 
 vital advance in the science of home 
 refrigeration makes the New Elec- 
 trolux an even finer, simpler, more 
 satisfying refrigerator than ever be- 
 fore developed. 
 
 The New Air-Cooled Electrolux 
 has no moving parts — no belts, no 
 motors, no fans — to wear or cause 
 noise. It uses no water. A tiny gas 
 flame does all the work. Circulates 
 the refrigerant which produces con- 
 stant steady cold . . . plenty of ice 
 cubes. No wonder, therefore, that LmsES NO WATER 
 the New Air-Cooled Electrolux is 
 absolutely silent, is the most econom- 
 ical refrigerator you've ever heard of. 
 And no wonder that it can be de- 
 pended on to give carefree, trouble- 
 free refrigeration now . . . and after 
 years of use. 
 
 But inspect the New Air-Cooled 
 Electrolux for yourself! It's on dis- 
 play in Home Planning Hall and at 
 your local gas company. Representa- 
 tives are on hand at all times to ex- 
 plain its amazing operation to you. 
 
 Even though you may not be con- 
 templating the purchase of an auto- 
 matic refrigerator right now, you'll 
 
 want to see this 
 greatest refrigera- 
 tion achievement of 
 modern engineering skill. Money can- 
 not buy a finer refrigerator! Yet the 
 price of the New Air-Cooled Electrolux 
 is scaled to 1933 pocket books — may 
 never again cost as little to own. Electro-

 A Century of Progress 
 
 A hundred years ago a king's ransom could not buy the luxuries 
 of modern plumbing and heating that are within reach of all. 
 
 Even the bathrooms and kitchens of the "Gay 90's" look 
 crude today. They are shown in striking contrast with the latest 
 fixtures in the Crane exhibit of plumbing and heating in the 
 Home Planning Section at the Exposition. In the model homes, 
 Crane bathrooms offer many artistic suggestions tc those who 
 are planning to build or modernize. 
 
 Those industrially inclined will be interested in the large 
 electrically operated and illuminated panel in the Elearical 
 Building that shows the function of Crane materials in the 
 progress of transportation, power, production, manufacturing, 
 and the development of natural resources. 
 
 To these exhibits. Crane Co. invites you most cordially.

 Br APPOINTMENT 
 
 TO HER HAJCOIr 
 
 To THE English girl, bred with an ideal of loveHness always before her, Yardley 
 is as much a tradition as her debut or her presentation at court. . . . Both in 
 England and America Yardley offers a complete and comprehensive series of 
 toilet things: English Lavender Soap (famous for eight generations); English 
 Complexion Cream; English Lavender Bath Salts, Dusting Powder, and Wave 
 THL u., Lotion; English Lavender, itself, that cool, delightful perfume; in short, every- 
 
 thing a lady uses, even to compact and lipstick. And there are other perfumes 
 as well, including Orchis (lovely as an English garden) and Fragrance (modern, sophisticated, 
 exotic). All of these you may see (and sample) at the Yardley exhibit, on the grounds, 
 and at leading shops everywhere. Yardley 6? Co., Ltd., British Empire Bldg., 620 Fifth 
 Avenue, New York; in London, at 33, Old Bond Street; and Paris, Toronto, Sydney.
