EXPOSITION AT PHILADELPHIA TO OPENfMONDAY $11,000,000 Spent on Preparations for SesqiiiCentennial. Timas Waft Cvrresoomlrnt PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 27. Hooosiers who motor east this summer and fall to take In the SesqulCentennial Exposition, which opens here next Monday, are going to miss one of the finest things of its kind ever donceived. This is not mere press agentry, but the opinion of Indianapolis newspapermen who were among 225 news writers representing papers in all parts of the country, who were permitted to view the grounds last Sunday in advance of the official opening, set for next Monday. The Indianapolis writers saw a huge mass of steel girders, wall board and stucco which rapidly was taking the shape of immense palaces in which products of arts, sciences and agriculture from all parts of the world will be on display. The palaces are so huge that several of the immense buildings at the Indiana State Fairground could be placed inside one of them. . ' Wasteland Beautified Philadelphia has taken a section of wasteland, situated somewhat like the dumps west of White River near Washington Park in Indianapolis, and turned it into a vast fairyland. The exposition grounds are a mile long by three-quarters of a mile wide, extending from the edge of the Philadelphia business district to League Island Navy Yard. Eleven million dollars is being, spent beautifying the grounds and erecting buildings. The major structures are the auditorium, seating 20,000 and having the largest pipe organ in the world; the administration building; the palace of liberal arts and manufacture; the palace of agriculture and food products; the palace of transportation, machinery, mines and metallurgy and the stadium. There are hundreds of minor buildings, including those of several States and several of the twenty-seven nations which have exhibitions. Largest Stadium The stadium will be of great interest to Middle Westerners, where monster arenas are common. It is claimed that the stadium, which is permanent, is the largest in the w wrJd, with a comfortable permanent seatiV’S capacity of 100,000. Until this was erected the stadium of Ohio State UnivC* n,ity ' which - packed to the limit, held *7,000 at the IllinoisOhio game last fa*l, * s sa *d to have held the record. Pageants, rodeos and Other exhibitions will be held daA’y and nightly in the stadium. In the beautification of the grounds the exposition authorities have utilized a system of natural lagoons which existed in the swamps of the dumps before the reclamation was started. Gondolas, plied by Italians imported from. Venice will be the means of the transportation on the lagoons and connecting canals. The “Gladway” will be one of the greatest amusement centers ever devised. The exposition will be easy of acceSs for the tourist since parking space for 50,000 automobiles at a time is provided. The exposition, being located at one end of the famous Broad St., will be amply served by street cars, busse and railroads. An almost unbelievable number of persons can be quickly moved into and out of the grounds by the transportation services. DISCUSS AUTO CHANGES Coming changes and improvements which may be incorporated in automobiles, trucks and motor coaches within the next few years will be discussed at the summer meeting of the Society of Automotive Engineers which will be held at French. Lick Springs, Ind., from June 1 to 4. ‘ SHIFT GEARS GENTLY Shifting gears by means of the fingers rather than with the clasped hand is considered the best practice according to automotive engineers.

INN AT CUTTY 1 FEET ABOVE BEAUTIFUL OHIO Panoramic Scene Afforded From Site of New State Hotel. Clifty Falls State Park, which comprises an area of about 500 Seres, is located in Jefferson County, about one and a half miles from Madison. This park was giv<_n to the State by the people of Jefferson County and it includes some of the most scenic spots in Indiana. It is very rugged, thickly wooded, with many deep gorges, excellent views, waterfalls and overhanging rocks. No other spot in the State can excel the beauty and grandeur of Clifty Falls, some ninety feet in height, a,nd the other .smeller cascades found here. A beautiful winding rock road, four miles in length, has been constructed through the park. This road leads to the new Clifty Falls Inn, located 400 feet above the Ohio. From the hotel porch one gets a magnificent, panoramic view of the Ohio valley and the towering hills of Kentucky. At our feet lies the beautiful, winding Ohio River dotted here and there with fairylike boats. To the west is the Devil's Backbone hill and fertile valleys among the intervening hills. Turning to the east you look directly down Main St. of the historic city" of Madison with its shady streets and its wonderful old homes and flower gardens, and see the Country Club and golf links; the wharf boat, where the boats unload their passengers and freight; across the river to the little town of Milken; far beyond, the hills of Kentucky an ‘l then back to the hills above Ju>tM son > where is located the beau.iful Southeastern Hospital buildings for thd insane, the home of our unfortunate.
