 of the s|iectators, iii.any of whom ]ier 

 hajis have carried a doiiht for years as 

 to the (dcanliness of smdi manufacture. 



The temple of luvaltli, presided over 

 hy medical men of the state, includin<; 

 <'iiicat;o's liealth commissioner, Dr. 

 .lolin Dill Robertson, has been worked 

 out in (iis(ilay. Medieal collcffes of tlie

 chemical laboratories and processes will 

 be laid ojien for inspection. 



The fjreatest liaby sliow in America 

 will be held at the Pageant of Prog- 

 ress in behalf of one of the Chicago 

 iiewsp.apers, which is offering big jirizes. 

 Rabies from several states are now hie- 

 ing examined in a glass buihling coii- 

 structe<l for this purpose. 



Jackies to Show Teats. 



We have now covered one hall' of 

 the exhibition hall space and sec ''the 

 jiride of our nation,'' rejiresented by 

 jackies from the (ireat liakes Naval 

 Tr.aining fetation, located just north of 



• hic'igo. , ,Tlii^ Jackie band, the train- 

 ing" and eiliication of these boys, their 

 conduct ami discipline, will be observed. 



Cajitain D. W. Wurtsbaugli, command- 

 .ant of the Great Lakes Xaval Training 

 Station, Captain P^dward A. Evers 

 and other naval aftacdies h.ave s]iared 

 no time or effort to present to visitors 

 to the Pageant ot Progress the most 

 s]iectacular insight into the achieve 

 ments. progress, fascination and ediii'a- 

 tion that go with the service to our 

 <'ountry on the waters. They may study 

 the radio school exhibit, arranged and 

 presented at the pageant by Commander 

 .r.icobs, which consists of a jiart inod(d 



• if a torpedo boat with ii radio house, 

 bridge and 3-inch gun mast with anten 

 nir. They listen to the loud speaking 

 "phones wirudi send out from time to 

 time the sound of a submarine going 

 through the water. These officers li.-ive 

 scoured the r.anks to secure the best 

 type of noncommissioned officers and 

 enliste(l men to handle this exhiliit. In 

 •addition, the Railio Band will play at 

 tractive military music. Aviation nie 

 chanic schools and the aviation band, 

 the commissary and its methods will be 

 shown. 



Much more could be said of the naval 

 show; the naval reserve force ball Au- 

 gust 10, the daily exhibitions of sub- 

 marines ami their paraphernalia in 

 maneuvers aiigmeiiteil by air craft and 

 Large sliijis will be of unceasing inter- 

 est. 



On the board w.'ilk above the ex])Osi- 

 tioii hall, (dectric mule tr.ains will take 

 \isitors from one end of the iner to the

other, a distance of ;5,000 feet. This 

 ileck of the pier will be es|peci.ally use- 

 la! on \'eiietiaii night, when boats 

 around the pier will carry some 10,0CK) 

 singers, who will join in singing "Chi- 

 cago." 



It might be interesting to insert here 

 that a Chicago newspai)er offered $10,- 

 000 in ]irizes for the best song written 

 portraying Chicago's "I Will" spirit; 

 12.072 contributions were olTered in this 

 contest. The contributors included the 

 ii.'ition's best song writers. 



Spectacular Features. 



The inti'Usity of the effort of the pro 

 motors of this page.ant is also exem 

 plified in their obtaining the services 

 of the black horse squadron of the Cul- 

 ver Academy, which will lead 50,000 

 ChinanH'ii <lressed in their oriental cos- 

 tumes with ;ill the splendor known to 

 tludr race. This jiaratle will come from 

 (Chicago's Chinatown to the jiier on a 

 <lay to be annoumeil Liter by the 

 mayor. 



While mentioning things spectacular 

 it is well to take notice of the entire 

 revision of street car service to the pier. 

 Although the main lines do not pass 

 the pier nor do they come within three- 

 quarters of .1 mile of it, facilities have 

 been arranged ^r, that the street cars 

 can haiidb^ ;is,(i(i0 ]iass(>ngers jter hour 

 to and from I lie ]iier. ('hicago has the 

 best and idie.-ipest taxi service in Amer- 

 ica. One ii'ni|i,ni \- alone operates l.lfio 

 cabs .and there :iii- other large compa 

 nies. 



Speed lio.it r.ici's. imdiidiug the de- 

 but.alite, • • .\1 issj liii'.i^o, " " promise keen 

 competition. Se\en of ('hic.ago's big 



men, including William Wrigley, Jr., 

 and the mayor, are donors of this boat. 



I'-acilities are offered to give out-of- 

 town visitors ready .access to Chicago, 

 through the ;iid of ;iii information bu- 

 reau. 



After visiting the end of the pier, 

 which has a merry-go-round, a gigantic 

 dance hall, [ileasure boat docks and 

 m.aiiy.t'hiMgs that make for ;i good time, 

 imdiiding plenty of the wind that made 

 Chicago famous, we may go to the north 

 exhibition h.all. 



Wide "Variety to Interest All. 



Methods of traiis|iortat ion - the 

 prairie schooner, the jialace like auto- 

 mobiles of today and all th.at came be- 

 tween them — will interest everyone. 



The exteiisiveness of (Miicago's police 

 ;ind public safety system and its lire- 

 fighting apparatus in the city and on 

 the water, will each occupy a section. 



The progress of building is .a (piestion 

 of iiiiportanc(! today, second only to 

 the topics of high freight rates and 

 home brew. A rejiroduction of Ijin- 

 coln's cabin has been m.ade. Assistiinct? 

 can here be had to determine how to 

 build a house from start to finish. 



Chicago claims much for its schools. 

 Visitors will be shown the principles 

 of pedagogy today. 



Vacuum cleaners, laundry machines, 

 ironing machines, etc., do the same work 

 with less effort than the old methods, 

 and these will prove of great interest to 

 the ladies and the more thoughtful 

 men. 



Furs, from animals to wearing ap- 

 parel, will also interest the ladies and 

 the mord generous men. 



Inserted here and there throughout 

 the halls will be such features as min- 

 ing and the analysis of metals, chem- 

 istry and educational features of many 

 kinds. 



There will be a celebration of Illi- 

 nois day, August 6, and a tribute to the 

 neighbor state, Wisconsin, August S. 

 It is expected that every day there will 

 be scores of special events to keep vis- 

 itors in awe. 



It will be noted that not much has 

 been said of the item most interesting 

 to the readers of The Review — the 

 flower show — but plans are being formu- 

 lated to distribute prizes to the florists 

 who compete for them in making U[) 

 jiieces in accordance with the premium 

 list to be publislied in the next few 

 days. Reports from out-oftown flo- 

 rists indicate that there, will be many 

 of them here. The exposition commit- 

 tee offers florists valuable prizes and 

 it is expected that many will compete. 

 Seedsmen may offer educational fea- 

 tures .and a general effort is in ]>rogress 

 to teach the \ isitors the value of flow- 

 ers, their Ih aul \' and use. 



HALL'S SOLDIER EMBLEM. 



As an appropriate piece for the 

 funeral of a returned soldier who had 

 been gassed in France, Hall's (Jreen- 

 liouse, at Clyde, O., jirepared an eagle 

 over a star, both of wliite carnationi. 

 on a panel of oak leaves, crossed in the 

 center by cycas leaves. Small American 

 flags at either side of the eagle com- 

 pleted the piece. It was an offering 

 from friends of the deceased, named 

 Clifford O'Brien, and business men of 

 Clyde, O. Both the conception of th" 

 idea and the execution of the pieci? wer 

 ex-ceeilingly good.
