CHICAGO, April 28—Anton J. @rmak, native son of Bohemia, who once mined coal in the pits of Braid- wood, Ill, occupied his desk today for the first time as Chicago's formally in- ducted mayor. He regarded it as a “full-time job,” he said, one dedicated to reducing the city’s expenditures, restoring law and order and preparing America’s second city for the Century of Progress Expo- sition in 1933. He outlined that program in his in- auguration, held last night in the coun- cil el bers. The formal ceremony Was broadcast over a coast-to-coast net- ‘work of more than 20 stations.

CHICAGO, April 28.—There are many folk in Chicago who believe in the see-Chicago-first idea. Richard. D. Kyle, 62, a retired real estate man was among those who ad- vocated Chicago-first tours, but up until last Priday he had been unable to do much about it. It was then that he hired a taxicab driven by John Hager. “Your orders,” he said to Hager, “are to tour the city, both by boulevard and | side street. until I have seen all of the | buildings there are.” This to Hager was a command that needed to be obeyed without delay, so they set out. At the end of some 350 miles his passenger decided to halt to tarry a while in a club. While there the mechanism of the cab kept ticking at the rate of 10 cents for every 3| minutes. ‘When Kyle returned it was some time last Saturday and Hager thought it might be well to ask for his fee. Kyle, however, was at the time a little short, but began to look for a friend who could furnish tourist funds. When his search ended without success sev- eral hours later Hager took his fare to a police station. ‘The bill totaled $108. PRINCES TO FLY HOM": Wales and Brother to Leave Le Bourget Field Today.
