Playing Teek-a-Boo’ +•+ +•+ +•+ +*4- +•+ Everyone Gives ’Em ‘Once Over’ MmLLLdd What? the X-Ray, Slit, Etc.,Skirt President, Thousand Miles Away, Will Flash Signal to National Conservation Exposition. MONDAY IS DEDICATION DAY Managers Fulfill Promises to Have Exhibits Ready as Scheduled, Opens Free of Debt. KNOXVILLE, Aug. 30.—Promptly at 10 o’clock Monday morning In Washington President Wilson will flash a wireless telegraph message to Knoxville. The message will be picked up by the wireless station In the grounds of the National Conservation Exposition In this city. The receipt of the message from the President of the United States to T. A. Wright, president of the exposi tion company, will be the signal for the forma] opening of this exposi tion, the first In the history of the world devoted to the cause of con servation and designed to teach by concrete example the necessity of conserving all material resources if the country is to grow and prosper. Manner of Opening Unique. Even as the National Conservation Exposition Is unique in history, so is the manner of opening It unique. No exposition ever before has been opened by a wireless message sent by the President. Ben W. Hooper, Governor of Tennessee, and his staff will be present on the opening day. The exercises will be Impressive. There will be speeches by Governor Hooper, Mayor Hetskell of Knoxville and President Wright of the exposi tion. The new buildings on the grounds will be dedicated; there will be an automobile parade, the formal open ing of "Joy Street,” as the midway will be known; fireworks, band con certs and a general good time. The official program starts the fun going at 8 o'clock In the morning, and It will continue without a break until late ar night. Two promises made by the directors months ago will be kept. These were: The exposition would open on time and be complete down to the last de tail. The exposition would open free of debt. Buildings All Are Ready. Opening day will see the exposition ground^ looking more beautiful and more attractive than ever before. Eleven great exposition buildings, all snowy white, are filled with exhibits of all kinds. Government, State, mu nicipal and private. Flower beds dot the landscape. Flags are flying. The lakes are alive with motorboats. The grounds present a gala appearance. But it is in carrying out the idea of the exposition itself—the idea upon which it was founded—and in teach ing the lessons of conservation that this exposition, projected by the South and brought into being by men of the South, stands out as different from any other exposition. From start to finish, from one building to another, the main idea of teaching conservation ltssons never has been lost sight of for a moment. The big mines and minerals build ing Is an example. Here the displays have been so arraanged as to em phasize the fact that In the South nearly every mljjeral Is found, and also to emphasis^ the fact that all of these ores have a commercial value. A model coal mine dug Into a hill forms a feature of this exhibit. The exposition will run until No vember 1. 2 Generations Ride Baby Buggy Trail Children Will Bump Over Same Course Parents Took Thirty- three Years Ago.

Never In the history of art ha* such an opportunity been presented to the unknown and unrecognized artist as that which will be offered to the world at the Panama-Pacific Inter national Exposition in 1916. The works of art shown In the clas sical Palace of Fine Arts in 1916 will not be merely the work of the great masters, either ancient or modern. The best will be shown, whether It is the work of the master who Is loaded with diplomas and financial fortune or whether It Is the accomplishment of the silent, unseen worker. Committees of eminent artists are now searching the continents for such artists that they may have the oppor tunity which they have yearned for— the opportunity of letting the world see what contemporaneous artists can do. It Is conceded that there are many artists in the world who are doing wonderful work, but who not recognized merely because no op portunity has been given them. The Panama-Pacific International Expo sition will present that opportunity. Some of the most famous artists and art critic* are engaged In different parts of the world searching for *ucn men. In Europe the committee of discovery Is headed by such famous artist* as fiargeant and McEwen, and all over the United States artists have been deputed by the export ion art commission to make a thorougn search for the best work In painting, sculpture or the other department* of art which are to be represented la the Palace of Fine Art*.
