This is how tho Avenue of Flags looked during most of the day when 500,000 children invaded the Fair grounds. 3. Guards and other employees of tho Fair formed human chains in an effort to restrain tho children awaiting thoir turn to get in. more than guards on shore could stop others from jumping Into pools and fountains in various stages of dress and undress.

Rut thunks to a "clearing house maintained by the Travelers' Aid society all of the lost were found eventually. Urged by the public address system to sock their stray charges at the societys headquarters, anxious parents and tcailiers stood In line for hours until policemen or Fair attendants pushed their way through the crowd with their weeping chnrges. Older children who knew where they lived were given carfare and sent home. Younger ones were comforted by the young women In charge of the clearing house" and an harassed stuff of overworked volunteer assistants.
