April 30, 1939. It is another historic occasion in the annals of New York City. For on this day the gates to what New Yorkers believe is the greatest international exposition of all time are being thrown open to thousands of visitors the vanguard of an estimated 20 millions who will see the New York World's fair before it closes. And significant of the changes that have taken place in a century and a half, these visitors, unlike those who thronged New York's narrow streets for Washington's inauguration, will be able to look forward into the future even farther than 150 years. For the "theme" of this fair is "The World of Tomorrow." One of the theme spectacles of the fair is a model of Democ-raritdesigned by Henry Drey-fuswhich deals in comprehensive fashion with the possibilities of improvement in design of our cities in the future.

Outside, surrounding the city, separated from it by a green belt of farms and parks, are industrial towns these decentralized factory centers, where man works and lives and depends on the central metropolis only for direction in his business and in his cultural activities. Democracity is a practical suggestion of how we should be living today in a city of light and air and green spaces. Stretching out in oil directions from the central city are fine roads sweeping over broad green belt areas and connecting the various industrial towns with the metropolis. Democracity will present the general plan of the City of Tomorrow; details of our future American living will be clarified in many of the fair's individual exhibits. In so far as the pros- - cattle.

On this and a subsequent trip President Washington was search ing for a plot of ground on which to erect a national capital. "But for some quirk of circumstance," urover A. Whalen, president of the World's Fair corporation, has said, "the site of this greatest of expositions might have been the capital of the United States." Dominating Constitution Mall. the central esplanade of the fair, is the largest portrait statue fashioned by mankind since the Egyptians carved the figure of Rameses II out of rock in the land of the Nile. The work of James Earle Fraser, noted sculptor, this statue portrays Wash ington as he arrived in New York for his inauguration. Dominating the trees, buildings and fountains of Washington Square, from which his figure rises 65 feet, the Father of our Country appears to gaze across two sculptured groups by Paul Manship, the celebrated artist. One denotes the passage of time as it affects the human race. The second group includes a gigantic sundial with an gnomon.

If the foods served at breakfast, dinner and lunch or supper are chosen, carefully with a view to meeting bodily requirements, there should be no need for many adults to eat between meals. al On the other hand, it should be borne in mind that dividing the day s food into what we Americans so often call three square meals," is primari ly a convenient custom. Une reason that it has grown up over a period of years is because it air lows the maximum free time to pursue our various occupations. In number of countries, a fourth meal is an accepted part of the day's routine.

The top of the barn which would ordinarily be a hay loft is a room accommo dating about one hundred people, and will be used as a meeting room for farm organizations and others at the fair. The workshop on the electrified farm is completely equipped, with electric forge, anvil, electric drill, electric saw and a portable electric welding outfit With this equipment in his workshop, a broken casting or piece of ma chinery doesn't mean a trip to town sometimes when the farm er can least spare the time. In the poultry house a complete poultry unit is shown. In this poultry house, some of the hens will be kept in laying batteries and some in the conventional type laying house. The incubator in the service room of the poultry house will have chicks hatching twice a week so there will always be new chicks to put in the battery brooder, which is also in the service room. Some of these chicks will be kept in an electric hover brooder in a separate brooder house just outside of the main poultry bouse. To complete the installation, there will be an egg cleaner and grader and latest type candler; also scalding and waxing equipment far removing feathers in preparing broilers for market. Across a small court from the poultry house is the community packing house, in the center is a complete fruit cleaning and grading system, electrically op erated. Near the community packing house is an apple orchard, with a stationary spray pump for spraying and maintaining the health of the trees. At the end of the plot is a greenhouse, so insulated that the only heat nec essary in addition to that sup plied by electric heating lamps, controlled automatically by thermostats, is the sun's rays through the glass of the greenhouse which is slanted to catch every bit of sun.

APRIL If George Washington, who was one of the most progressive farmers of his day, could have seen this electrified farm! And speaking of Washington the opening of the fair on April 30, the date of his inauguration, is not the only coincidence reflecting the association of our first President with New York City and its fair. On October 10, 1789, President Washington wrote in his oi Aged persons often require more than three meals. That is because large, heavy meals might overtax their digestions, and three light meals do not nsually provide ade quate nourishment.

Don't Overeat Thus, it is evident that there are numerous instances when there is justification for departing from the accepted routine. But it must be remembered that as the number of meals is increased, the amount of food taken at each one should be decreased. Otherwise, an un due strain may be placed upon the digestive organs. Then, too, no matter how the day's food is divided, it must provide all the substances required for sound nutrition. Otherwise, the body will be improperly nourished, no matter how many meals are consumed.
