to give motion pictures a practical demonstration at the Centenary Celebration," said Mr. Griffith “The celebration will give the people In towns and villages a wonderful opportunity to visit the entire world by going no further than Columbus. There will be an extraordinary impression produced by seeing these villages of China. Japan and India, not peopled by amateurish ‘ actors, but inhabited by real natives- from foreign lands. "I have been astounded beyond measure at the breadth, extent and scope of the entire scheme as It has been revealed to mo by Dr. Taylor, Dr. Crowther, Dr. Reisner and others. I understand the Methodist Church has 1140,000.000 and is going to celebrate its success with something more nearly resembling a world fair than anything else to which it can bo compared. One would think that a great nation at least is behind the movement. Doubtless, something greater than the greatest nation is behind it —a reawakened ideal and faith inspired to bind up the wounds of a torn and outraged world.” -

W. Palm, an Indian trader of Ortonville, Minnesota. Mr. Palm Is here shown with some of bis interesting relics. Indian exhibitions will have a considerable place in the Celebration. Pueblos will unconcernedly mold pottery before throngs of curious spectators, just as their grandfathers did before the white man Invaded their lands. Navajos will weave rugs and St. Regis make basketry—-all actually living in their dative homes, be they pueblos or wigwams.
