10 Amusing Incidents, Thrills and a Few Disappointments Fill First Day's Visit Dear Harris: Well, we have been to the Ex position. I can at least say that. As I told you before, I never seen a World's Fair in the past, so I came to this one, certainly with eyes and a mind ready to admire and to revel in tne signt. First of all, the Exposition is so tremendously alive. No one from the humblest helper in the exhi bitions, to the most luxurious on looker is anything but intensely in terested and passes on his or her entnusiasm to everyone eise, Many of your friends have visited the Exposition, ana many more will go later.

And you have read reams of publicity on it, but that will not ten you everytning, very little, really, of all there is to see and do. And I am not the one to give you anything in the way of a de tailed description, for that is not my way. My letters to you are always personal and give you my own reactions to what is seen and done, and this will be the same. The pictures I have seen of the Fair buildings seem to have all been done in white and black and grey and so for some reason or other, I had pictured such colorings before I came. So you may imagine my surprise and wonderment to see vivid colorings, greens, reds, blues and aluminum the whole scene kalidescopic.

Pictures have told you of the modernistic style of architecture. Sky Ride Disappointing My son iaw, Aarian noberts and I had heard so much about the sky ride (and I am not so sure that is just the official name, but I am writing about the cars that go from one tall tower to another over the lake) and each of us, unknown to the other had decided that we would "do" that first of all. There is a wonderful view of the Fair and of Chicago and Lake Michigan from these aerial trolley cars. But we thought, before seeing it, that in some way the cars in which we proposed to ride would start at the top of one of those high towers, zip down to the center of the span and then zoom up to the other and we were all set to take a ride. But when we saw that the cars moved discreetly and slowly along the high wires on a level plane we both decided that it was not quite so exciting and thrilling as we had pictured and that we would spend our money some other way.

There were so many things I would like to tell you about if I can only remember them. The Horticultural exhibition is one where you could stay for a day or more and never get your fill. When you think that only about two years ago. that ground was a part of the lake, and all sandy shore, and that now it is a garden spot with acres and acres of grow ing plants and flowers, all abloom and flourishing as if they had grown there for years. Over 1100 varieties of roses in one place; old fashioned flowers in another plot; Japanese gardens, and no end of others.

The grass is velvet even though it was sodded only tnis spring. 1 Just in front of that building, I saw the fattest woman you 'most ever saw, being pushed in a rolling chair by the very smallest and thinnest pusher. His body was angled at almost 45 degrees and at every step it seemed as if he had to try for a toehold lest the weight of his passenger shove him backward. I felt sorry for him. We saw another of these stout women near the pony riding area.

Just then one oi the attendants lifted a little boy from the back of the tiniest oi the ponies, and turned to the fat woman and said not impudently, but automatically, "Pony ride?" The woman burst out laughing and replied "No thanks" and the man grinned in his embarrassment The children had a great time in the Enchanted Isle. They rode around in the collapsible strollers, or walked, when they wished. There were plenty of other strollers with children riding, in fact, these stro lers could be rented on the ex position grounds, as well as rolling chairs and jm nckshas. Special Children's Menu Chippie and Sister eyed pictures of the queer animals in the frieze around the buildings; they ate their dinner, including spinach et in the dining room where the pretty waitresses in orange dresses served the specially prepared children's menu with special children silver ware and dishes. They had their tin types taken standing beside a bear.

Most of all, Chippie sat in the cab of the engine of the miniature train, and gave vital assist ance to the engineer by ringing yea. even clanging, the bell. He must have feared for the safety of everyone at the exposition, so vigorously did he ring that bell. That bell story will henceforth be an epic! Little Elizabeth was content to ride in the tender and watch Big Brother with admiring eyes for his skill in engine bell ringing Nick seemed to have a great time from the very beginning, at his entrance into the Exposition, when the smiling, big policeman, dressed in red jacket and pith helmet, lifted him and his collapsible strol ler, pillow and all over the turn stile. Nick "crawled in bed" with me this morning and told me all about it.

He had lots to say. though it would take his. grandmother to interpret his talk. Yesterday, he sleet most of the time, as usual but was very comfortable and happy, and much flattered at the attention and admiration he re ceived. One of the clown barkers with a white face and a red tipped nose came over to talk to mm, and Nick replied with a silly grin and some baby talk.

Dishwashin? Is Dishwa'tMng The dishwashing and Ironing ex hibits charmed me very little hate dishwashing, and even with the fancy electric appliance, it is dishwashing, just the same. And Ironing is hot work, however, it is done, though the demonstrators would have you think that their red faces are Just an over amount of rouge applied by mistake. I hung around and hung around the electrical exhibits they were fascinating In their variety and scope and though most of the things I saw were beyond my understanding, they none the less held a great fascination for me. In that building, some German waffle makers were at work and I stood in a long line waiting to get my check for a waffle, and then waited another long time for my waffle. Finally I was served and went to look at other electrical gadgets, holding my waffle dressed ith creamed butter and suiajr, on SATURDAY EVENING HARRISBURG i TELEGRAPH JULY 29, 1933 Century of Progress: Maze of Bright Color the flat of my hand on its paper, Ditmg ana chewing as I went.

Tomorrow I'll go back and try one of those delicious sausage waf fles or whatever they call them sausages covered with a crisply baked dough. In the women's part of the Exposi tionthis includes the health and social science exhibits and no end of other things, including something of the history of woman suffrage shown in murals I met a woman who had heard of that occasion long ago, when Dr. Anna Howard Shaw went to the Grangers' Picnic at Williams Grove to talk on "Suf frage." Have I ever told you my part or that story now I went to serve at the Woman suffrage booth, tak ing Elizabeth, my daughter, then a girl of about 10 years of age? When it came time lor the distinguished speaker to arrive, six of us who had gone ahead for the morning's work were all that could be mustered to march to the place of the train's arrival. The band went ahead nlay ing lustily and we bravely followed, the target for all kinds of jeers and jibes from the folk of the Midway But with the arrival of Dr. Shaw came also a large contingent of diS' tinguished men and women of the rank or those who believed civ me the suffrage to women, so our return march, this time again with the band in the lead, was one or triumph and encouragement.

See Dinosaur We were much intrigued by the scarey looking dinosaur which crawl ed over the rocks in the 1,000,000 Years Ago, the Sinclair Company's exhibit an awful beast glad we didn't meet any such on Sunday night when we were driving in the ram). He slowly waggles the end or lis long, ponderous tail and his head, and then utters the most unearthly sounds, first a lone whistle ish sigh and then a long, hoarse croak. At least these sounds seemed to come from the dinosaur's innards. On the way back to our hotel last night, we argued among ourselves about this animal. What I would like to know is how in the world did the Sin clair people know just what kind of sound those ante diluvian animals made? In front of the Hollywood Theater, Charlie Chaplin's double was urging the crowd to come closer I think they were about to take a picture.

He caught my eye, and triecVto wave me into the group, but I slunk away, turning down the opportunity to have my movie taken! I forgot to tell you that Susan Plummer, one of Elizabeth's col lege friends, whose home is in Chi cago, made a date to do the Fair with us. So she and her pretty sis ter in law, Betty Plummer, Mrs. Samuel Plummer, were with us. They knew where to go and what to see when our time was short, and among' us, we saw to it that the children did not get too tired. In fact, Chip and Sister fell asleep in their stroller and dozed contentedly while ye looked at some of the exhibits.

We all piled in the blue Ford and went to the Plummer's home. Dr. Plummer is chief surgeon for the Illinois Central Railroad. The chil dren had their baths and rest and we all had dinner. Then we drove along the Inner Drive, and saw the wondrous lightings of the Exposition buildings.

I just can't describe them to you for they were bewildering and magnificent, and besides, this mat ter of lighting has been most vividly told in all the other stories you have read. The Greyhound sightseeing buses are beautiful. They are slung very low and are entirely open on the sides, with seats running length wise. They travel from one end or the Exposition to the other and are very inexpensive in their, tolls. Another day of ideal weather! Yesterday, the largest thermometer in the world about as tall as the State street monument registered 71 degrees, with a delightful breeze blowing.

Today, it is about the same and we are ready for another day of pleasure. This letter is disjointed and sketchy, I know, but what we have seen and done in these last few days has been so interesting and so en tirelv different from anything we have ever done before, that our brains are in a whirl. Goodbye till tomorrow, LILLIE HENCH HARRIS. 1 MIFFLIN COUNTY ORGANIZES WHEAT PRODUCTION BOARD Lewistown, July 29. Mifflin County Wheat Production Control Board was organized here with I'tanK uampoeii, Belleville, as president.

Edward Gro, McVey town, was elected vice president and wmiam souit, Lewistown, sec retary. The other members of the board are Harry A. Price, Lewis town. Ralph Waite, Newton Hamil ton. and J.

A. Esh, Milroy. These men were elected by the 142 rarmers or tne county who met at six points in the county and heard the wheat production control plan of the Agricultural Adjust ment Corporation explained to them by J. C. Thompson, county iarm agent, and wunam uonneu, of State College, representative of the Agricultural Extension Service The board will canvass the county and give the wheat grow ers the opportunity of entering into a contract with the Agricultural Adjustment Administration for the reduction of their wheat acreage ror which they will receive a cash bonus from the money raised by the 30 cents per bushel processing tax on wheat for domestic con sumption which is not in force.

WHEAT UNITS ARE FORMED IN STATE Initial steps were taken bv Penn sylvania wheat growers during the past three days to form local county organizations for the administration of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Four hundred and twentv cne meetings were held in 67 counties of the State. This was an average of one meeting for every 200 wheat growers: These meetings were held to dis cuss the Agricultural Adjustment Act and to form an orgnization of the wheat growers In each 1 county to co operate In the administration of the act. Every county will have completed Its organization by today and will be in a position to co operate with the Agricultural Adjustment Release 250 Pheasants Sunbury, July. 29.

Ring neck pheasants, 250 in number, were recently released in Union county by Game Protector Miles Reeder, Mif ninourg. Tne Diras were eignt weeks old and had been received from the Fisher State Game Farm, near Pottstown. where 14,000 pheas ants have been raised this year. BURGESS 8EDTIMEt5TORIES THE END OF A BLUFFING MATCH The bluff that fails hits, I suspect, The bluffer's pride and self respect. Old Mother Nature.

It was a great bluffing match that was being played over in the Green Forest with none to see it out Betty Bear. Mother Bear was afraid of Farmer Brown's Boy but pretending that she wasn't. Indeed, with growl ing snarls, showing her big teeth, the very picture of savage ferocity, she rushed at Farmer Brown's Boy as if intent on tearing him limo from limb, a thing which she could easily do. But she was Diurting. She was trying to make him run.

Then she would strike him down. She would no longer bluff. But as long as ne stood facing her her courage oozed away with every step she took until only a few feet from him she stopped. He never took his eyes from her. There was something in that steady look of his that made her feel uncertain.

And the nearer she got to him the stronger became that dreaded man smell that ever since she was a cud had aroused fear in her whenever she ran across it. But there was no sign of this in the savage rush. There was only fury and ugly threat. But a few feet from him she ab ruptly stopped and stood snarling and gnashing her teetn. Her seeming intent to attack him had failed.

It was all a bluff and he had called the bluff, as they say. On his part Farmer Brown jsoy was bluffing. He was afraid. He was scared almost out of his wits. It was one thing to be told or to read that the charge of a Bear usually is a bluff and another thing altogether to face such a charge and prove it a bluff.

He was afraid, terribly afraid, but he managed to keen fear out of his eyes, which he never took from Mother Bear, and to yell savagely at her and appear ready to fight the instant she came Mother Bear sat down at a little distance and began to weave her head from side to side near enough. bluff. Bear! And that was all a So it was a bluffing match and his was the better bluff for after two or three rushes, each of which stopped abruptly a few feet from him. Mother Bear sat down at a lit tle distance and began to weave her head from side to side in the way of a Bear and to whine and grum ble as if begging him to go away and let Betty Bear come down from that tree. As if realizing that her bluff had failed she became almost pa thetic.

She almost whimpered. Realizing that immediate danger was over, Farmer Browns aoy laughed aloud at the ridiculous sight of great big Mother Bear whining and begging him to go away, and the sound of that laugh made Mother Bear more uneasy than ever. It was a new sound to her and she didn't understand it, but she did understand that there was no fear in it and that very fact made her more fearful herself. As for Betty Bear up in the tree she was so interested and so puzzled by what was going on below that she forgot to bawl. When Mother Bear had come crashing through the brush Betty Bear had been sure that this would be the end of this dreadful two legged creature who had chased her up a tree.

She had leaned forward eagerly the better to see when Mother Bear charged and she had almost let go her hold in sheer surprise when Mother Bear had stopped short. Then when she saw Mother Bear whining and begging she was beyond thinking. "Mother Bear is afraid. Mother Bear is afraid," she said over and over to herself. This two legged creature must In deed be terrible if great big Mother Bear was afraid of him.

Never again would Betty Bear get that strange man smell without having little chills of fear run all over her. Oh, how she wished she could get down from that tree and Join Mother Finally Farmer Brown's Boy decided that catching Betty Bear was out of the question. He had bluffed Mother Bear this time, but if he should try to catch Betty Bear mother might not stop at a diuii. "All right, old lady, I'll leave your youngster to you, but next time taice better care of her," said ne and slowly backed away. Before he was out of sight Betty Bear scrambled down and ran to her mother.

The latter cuffed her sharply and then the two hurried off among the trees. And this was the end of the bluffing match. (Copyright, 1933. bv T. W.
