KERAMIC STUDIO 
205 
The size of the small leaves can be gauged with the eye and 
drawn in. 
Draw the line for the large leaves under the flowers; notice 
that they follow the circle of the small flowers, forming almost 
a complete semi-circle. 
The division line will form the center stem at the bottom 
and the other two stems can be drawn in by watching the width 
of the space between the stems. 
Make a careful tracing of the half of the design which you 
have drawn, including the division line, and then fold the paper 
on the line and trace the other half of the design from the paper. 
For the center design draw a circle around the design in the 
magazine and then draw one the size you wish for the plate, and 
proceed to measure the different spaces as related to each other 
as we did in the border. 
Always begin with the main part of the design or the center 
of interest, which is the large flower in this design. 
Remember — all measurements are taken in proportion to 
some other part of the design. 
Block in the design at first ; do not draw in any more detail 
than possible, but see things in simple forms, as we did with the 
circle around the flowers, and above all, watch the width of the 
spaces between the different parts of the design; for example, 
the space betwen the two horizontal stem lines, it is the same 
width all the way; do not make it wider in some places than 
others. Watch the width of all spaces where one part of a de- 
sign fits up to another; for example, where the large leaves fit 
up to the large flower, if the space between the two becomes 
wider at the end the leaf will seem to draw away from the flower 
and will not have the feeling of being held together as a whole, 
as it does in this design. 
Too much attention can not be given to this matter, so 
watch the width of every space while you are working.

PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION 
Exhibitors at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition 
may have their exhibits delivered right on the grounds from car 
or ship. The exposition has its own freight ferry slip, which may 
be entered by car floats bearing the cars with exhibits. The 
cars may then be taken to the desired building over the rails of 
the exposition's standard gauge railway system. The exposi- 
tion has also its own harbor and docks, where vessels from all 
parts of the world may moor and discharge cargoes. No trans- 
shipment will be necessary from time of first loading on car or 
ship. 
According to a recent statement of Director of Works Har- 
ris D. H. Connick, the exposition is eleven per cent ahead of the 
definite schedule adopted more than one year ago. All the ex- 
position palaces will be completed months before the opening 
of the exposition, on Febi-uary 20, 1915.
