"If so, a world's fair, would be very stimulating." The executive committee of the world's fair committee will meet at noon next Tuesday at the Noonday Club to discuss the Chamber of Commerce report on the subject. Morton said members of a finance committee will be announced at the meeting.

Morton said he felt that, by setting a scale of prices somewhat higher than suggested in the report by the chamber, a predicted $7,000,000 deficit could be avoided. He said he believed the number of admissions would not be reduced if prices were set at 50 cents for children and $1 for adults. Morton said he also believed some money saved by investing between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000 in permanent buildings, rather than the contemplated in the chamber's report. 1200 Cofs Just Received ORDERS PLEASE Sturdy wood frame, hwavf canvas cover.

Low as PORT IS a rich sweet red wine that goes ideally with desserts or with light refresh-, merits.

Port wine is produced from fresh ripe grapes. It is a product of the farm as are all true wines. To produce Port, the wine grower picks his grapes when fully ripe and hence at their greatest sweetness. The stems are taken off and the grapes crushed. But the grape skins are left in the vats during fermentation that is what gives Port its ruby color.

In order to retain some of the natural grape sweetness in the wine, the vintner adds a small amount of pure grape brandy to the juice as it is fermenting. This stops the fermentation and leaves the wine with its rich Port flavor. Port is then aged, bottled and finally is ready for you to enjoy. Try serving small glasses of Port next time you have guests at your house. Wine Advisory Board, 717 MarkA Street, San Francisco.
