I COmpleting Rehearsals for Annual Event of National College 'May 10 and II Members of Executive Board of Woman's World's Fair Are in Own Businesses As a setting forth of woman's accomplishments and progress in vocation~, · the Woman's World's Fair, which opens for . its fourth annual performance at the Coliseum in Chicago on May 19, has a board of directors which establishes a noteworthy precedent. Five of the directors have busin~sses of their own. Miss Helen M. Bennett, . managing director, makes the Fair her· yeararound business. She is the only successful woman manager of an exposition in the world. Mrs. Medill McCormick, in addition to her recently established political fame, is owner and manager of the Rock River farms, including 2200 acres near Byron, Ill., where certified milk far above the requirements of the state is placed on the market. Mrs. McCormick will bring her prize pure bred Holstein cow for exhibit at the fair. She was the first woman to whom Miss Bennett told her dream of a fair, and · helped organize the board which put the first fair on in 1925, in less than four months after plans started. Cherries which are frozen before they are canned come from the orchard of Mrs. George Bass, chairman of the board. who owns more than 400 cherry trees near Manitowoc, Wis. Interior decorating as a professjon is represented on the fair board by its vice-chairman. Mrs. Howard Linn, who christened the infant exposition four years ago, the "Woman's World's Fair," and has contributed exhibitions of modern home interiors at each of these annual events. This year she plans to show a modern bathroom. Mrs. Rockefeller McCormick of the fair board will have a real estate display this year, based on her own business, as at previous expositions. Around this nucleus of professional accomplishments more than a hundred different women's occupations will be represented at the Coliseum this year. In addition to the modern branching out of women in all directions, the age old occupation of women will be represented in the Southern mountain exhibit, the Grandmother's room where hand work of two generations ago will be demonstrated. and foreign exhibits from Greece, Germany, Lithuania, the Ukraine, Finland, Sweden, Hungary and Poland, which represent woman's work from their earliest civilized days down to the present. The women architects of Chicago are planning to show models of buildings designed by women and some plans . of famous edifices which owe their being to a woman's ideas. Science, all the way from a~thropology to mathematics, will have iour ~ths for it showings. And the Art gallery, which is to occupy half of the South annex of the Coliseum, will show women's accomplishments in painting, etching and sculpture. It will be a no-jury exhibit with contributions by invitation only. The fair will have its own specially desiped flag waving in the Coliseum breezes this year.
