COMPLETED EIGHT MONTHS BE
FORE THE OPENING.
The Panama Pacific Exposition
will be completed eight months be
fore the date of its scheduled op
ening—February 20, 1915. This
is the promise made by its direc
tors.
One year before i'a opening day,
the $50,000,000 show palace was
a little more than 80 per cent fin
ished. The first of the gigantic
buildings to be completed was the
Palace of Machinery—the largest
wooden building ever constructed.
Its completion was celebrated last
December by the first indoor aero
plane flight ever made, wheu Lin
coln Beachey flew the length of
its 1,000 foot naves, under its roof
of Pompeiian red. Tne next build
ing to be completed was tie huge
palace of Education and Social
Economy. This wllJ Ke followed by
the completion this month of the
Palace of Agriculture, varied In
dustries and Mines and Metallurgy.
These already are roofed and dom
ed and the Travel tine marble coat
ing of the exterior walls is finished.
The palaces of Manufacturers,
Transportation, Food products and
Liberal Arts will be finished not
later than June 1. Last to be
completed will be the two most
beautful structures of all—the
crystal palace of Horticulture, with
its glass dome, 152 feet in diame
ter—the largest dome in the world
—and the Palace of Fine Arts,
which, buili of enduring steel and
cement, will extend in semi-lunai
form nearly a quarter of a mile
along a forest bordered wilderness
lake. I
Under the dome of this building
and dominating the whole displaj
of statuary, will be the first stat
ue ever erected to Motherhood,^ the
contribution of the Pioneer Moth'
its' Association of California. This
! buildiug will house the largest
| loan collections of paintings, most
ly. modern, from Ruropt and Amer
ica, ever assembled r.t a'n exposi
tion.
It is estimated that 60,000 ex
hibitors will be represented in these
various exhibit palaces. Three
times as much space for displays
from all over the world has been
applied for as the eleven palaces
can accomodate. No exhibit not
manufactured or produced within
the past ten years will be received
in competition for prizes.
It is planned to make the exhib
it unique in many respects. For
example, practically all the exhib
its, even including those having to
do with education, social economy,
labor, horticulture and factory pro
ducts, will be displays of living
processes—forking models—a sort
of laboratory for the fourteen mil
lions of visitors who are expected
to come as studeats to this Univer
sal University. i
Up to date foreign nations
have elected to be represented of
ficially by pavilions find compre
hensive exhibits; a greater foreign
representation than any previous
exposition has been a. I lo to boast.
The vast interest aroused in the
San Francisco celtbiatlon is shown
by the fati that ev*ry American
nation bciween the Arctic ocean
and the south pole, will be repre
sented by buildings and displays—
Argentina leading all the rest with
an appropriation of $3,000,000.
Even Nations so distant as Tur
key, China and Japan will spend
the enormous sum oi $700,000
';ach on their displays. France,
which fell down on her Panama
Canal construction plans, showed
her sporting bloo-l by appropriating
$500,000 to participate in the cele
bration.
Thirty five stales of the Union
already have dec'ded to eiect build
ings. Others are coon to take sim
ilar actioi\
After "Looping the Loop' Air Man Defies J!
Death; Genius of Aviation Solved
By LINCOLN BEACHEY, Aviator
I HAVE demonstrated the possibilities of aviation more than three
thousand times. I was unable, however, to SOLYK THE GEN
IUS OF AVIATION until I had "looped the which feat 1
accomplished with my aeroplane for the first time N >v. 24, 1913, over
San Diego bay, California, flying from the grounds of the government
aviation school on North island, where is stationed the First Aero corps,
attached to the signal service.
THE SILENT REAPER OF SOULS AND I SHOOK HANDS
THAT DAY.
THOUSANDS OF TIMES WE HAVE ENGAGED IN A RACE AMONG
THE CLOUDS—PLUNGING HEADLONG IN BREATHLESS FLIGHT
DIVING AND CIRCLING WITH AWFUL SPEED THROUGH ETHEREAL
SPACE. AND, MANY A TIME, WHEN THE DAZZL1N3 SUNLIGHT
HAS BLINDED MY EYES AND SUDDEN DARKNESS HAS NUMBED
ALL MY SENSES, I HAVE IMAGINED HIM CLOSE AT MY HEELS.
ON SUCH OCCASIONS I HAVE DEFIED HIM, BUT, IIS SO DOING.
HAVE EXPERIENCED FRIGHT WHICH I CANNOT EXPl./MN. TODAY
THE OLD FELLOW AND I ARE PALS.
The instant we had completed the "loop" together 1 derided 1 would
fear him no more. It wa3 thffn that man's courage, coupled with an in
vention of science, had finaHy solved the deep mystery which through
ages has surrounded the flights of the birds.

! DESIGNS FOR NEW
i CURRENCY ARE READY
—~
I Three Kinds to Be Printed Un
der the New Law.
Washington.—Designs for new paper
money, to be issued under the currency
act, have been prepared by experts
of tbe bureau of engraving and print
ing for submission to John Skelton
Williams. _
This money may not be needed for
months, but Director Ralph will have
the designs ready within a few days,
ami as soon as Mr. Williams has se
cured the approvu' of Secretary Mc
Adoo plates will be made and a few
millions will be printed.
There will be three kinds of new
currency-one for emergency purposes,
succeeding the present but never used
emergency currency; one for federal
reserve banks Issued against Lnited
States bonds, with the circulation priv
ilege. and the third one-year gold notes.
; to be issued to reserve banks against
tinted States bonds, but not to have
circulation privilege.*
These designs contemplate the pres
ent size of paper money, although the
plan or the Taft administration for
smaller bills may be reflected In fu
ture issues. ,
The law authorizes notes of $5. $10.
$20. $:<0 and $100. Present designs
would have the live dollar note bear
the portrait of Lincoln, the ten dollar
note that of Cleveland, the twenty dol
lar note tliht of Jefferson and the fifty
dollar note that of Grant
Varied phases of hutnau activity are
depicted on the backs of the notes. As
