Here, aided by little imagination, one may make a tour of the globe at an Infin itesimal fraction of what it would cost to make round of the terrestrial sphere. In a couple of skips one may go from old Fort Dearborn, the original Chicago, to the Golden Temple of Jehol, a reproduc tion of the original .built in China and transporte d to the shores of I-ake Mfchigan. For Americans the Hall of Science and the Electrical Building w 111 have the greatest r.ppeal, for here are graphically Illustrated, by working models, the tremendous st rides taken by science In the last century.

(AP) -President Roosevelt sign ed the. farm relief currency In flation bill today; signaling the assumption by his administration of the broadest powers ever dele gated to an executive and his ad visers in peaee time.

The president issued a special message urging a halt on all farm foreclosures pending the setting up of machinery for a vast pro gram of farm mbrtgage financing for which 82,000.000,000 will be available. A similar message on urban mortgages was expected lat er. The most extraordinary power of all in the measurr granting the president to expand credit, in crease the amount of paper money, reduce the gold content ot the dollar and fix a free coin age ratio between gold and silver lay dormant for the day, ap parently scheduled to be held in reserve for a time. This inflationary power, in the president s own worda, will be used "when, as and if", needed to accomplish his purpose of end ing the depression.
