July 31.—Chicago busi- in @ dozen different fields believe that just because they are competitors is no reason why they should not also be neighbors. Therefore, just as fast as their buildings can be put up concerns in a common fleld have been flocking to- gether here, until hardly a week goes by that some new project to bring all units of trade under a common roof is not announted A “pioneer” in the e for wpen- tralization of activities was the furni- ture trade. which erected the world's largest building in the “billion-dollar triangle” on the near North Side. Here scores of dealers and manufacturers of furniture established offices and display rooms in what is known as the Furniture Mart Insurance Firms Next. The next to follow were the insur- ance companies, who became neigh- }\oru in the huge American Fore Build- ng. Then the terests, always leade! tive idea, announced pla ing which will »m the Furni- ture Mart the v of being the world’s largest.

American exports to thuat co)mtrx were $25,962,000, as compared wit! $52,610,000 for the ccrresponding six months last year, while imports were $7,976,000, as compared with $6.169,000. “Import figures for this year, however,” the report continued, “do mot include manganese ore, estimated at about $4,000,000, and furs estimated at $1,500,000." — e —— Since then the building contractors, the doctors and dehtists, the “butter and egg” men and a number of others have announced plans of getting to- gether in buildings of their own, Architects Adopt Plan, But probably the most interestin development of all may be expecte from the architects, who also have the “get-together” bug. Leaders of the movement believe that the architec- tural craft should be ‘représented by something very exceptional in building degign, and the final plans probably will be selected by competition among the draughtsmen who plan to make the structure their common_ home. planned in or near the neighborhood of Wacker drive, the magnificent new double-decked boulevard skirting the wouth bank of the Chicago River.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 31.—The last will and testament of Gen. An: drew Jackson, probated in Davidson County, nn., is now on record in the Davidfon County courthouse. A seardh was made of the old rec- ords when an offer came to the State department of history from the East to supply the will to the State ar- ¢hives for a large sum of money. President Jackson lived and died at his home, the Hermitage, near Nash- ville, and his will was probated in the county of Davidson. Gave Soul to God.

LHICAGO, July 31—A new and morbid breed of court followers, en. gendered by Chicago’s series of mur- der trials, confronts Cook County’s Criminal Court bailiffs with a difficult problem. 4 Coming from the large class of city dwellers which apparently never has anything to do but look for sensation, * has become a type, which court attaches, s can distinguish him with a visage by say they alw: in a courtroom, Half ‘the courtroom audience at Chi- cago's last dozen murdeér trials has been made up of the same individuals. Slightly: more than half of the ever- present contingent are women, but there are mén, too, whose faces have becomeé as familiar as that of the judge himself to officials'of the courts. Schooled by constant attendance in the ways of court procedure, the tribe of “murder fans" offers bafliffs their most difficult task of diseipline. The fan quickly learns how to gét 1926—PART 1. even when hundreds tance. He knows how & seat of vanta, clamor for adm! ‘many warnings the judge will issue before clearing the courtroom of a dis- orderly crowd, and so ignores repri- mands, He vies with his fellow fan for laurels of accuracy in forecasting verdicts. Balliffs trace the origin o4fhe breed back to the Carl Wanderer and Har- vey Church murder trials, but not until after the Loeb-Leopold case did they discover that the same faces pre- dominate in, every courtroom audl- ence. A number of notable murder trials—Shepard, Russell Scott, Scalise and Anselmli, Italian gangsters; Grand- ma Nusbaum and John Walton Winn: the Drake Hotel bandits, Martin Dur- kin and Robert Scott-—have given this type of court follower constant recre- ation of the sort he most enjoys. Deputy bailiffs intrusted with the disciplining of trial audiences have re- garded with some alarm the growing contempt for their admonitions of silence and order in the court. The fans have heard such admonitions too often to be,awed by them. Lately, however, the ald of trial judges has been evoked, and the ejec- tion of disorderly spéctators has some- what helped. New South Wales has just put in effect a workers’ compensation law that provides for compulsory in- surance of emplnt‘eu by - employers against {llness, accident and death. i A > Nozol Quickly Relieves Hay Fever Breaks Up’ Summer Colds / hay or rose fever or summer ‘colds when Nozol gives immediate relief? mended by Peoples Drug nd all leading druggists.
