North Carolina's typical family,
the Sila C. Brown's of Snow Hill,
have set up house-keeping in the
midst of the World's Fair, but be
cause of a swirl of engagements have
had little opportunity to stay in their

flag-raising ceremony with the Fail
chairman presiding, and the Kansas
typical family, which after driving
