Tt featured the suit in the wire service, 7 . - Of hundred years ago, on August 10, 1833, to be exact, Chicago's entire elector- tate, 28 citizens, met for the purpose of choosing five trustees for the new Town of Chicago. The city on Lake Michigan has reason fo be proud of its century of Prog- ress. . ‘ ' There is an old-time story of a Chicago man who Was in New York off business, and having occasion to send a telegram home thought he was being charged too much. “Why, in Chicago, I could send a telegram of the same length to Hades for half the pride!” “That may be,” said the clerk, “but then it would be all within the city limits!” The famous Dutch-Jewish philosopher Spinoza, was content to remain an observ- er of the world, concerned for its well-be- ing, but in no hurry te set it right. Only once——When two brothers were brutally murdered by a mob in front of his house— did he seek to rush into the fray and de- nounce the crime on the spot; and on this occasion his landlord probably sayed his} life by the simple device of locking the front house-door on him so he couldn't get out. Thinking that Dictator Machado had resigned or was about te do so, a crowd of Several thousand happy Cubans was or- ganized in Havana to celebrate the occa. sion with a parade to give vent to their joyous feelings, That the tyrant was still in power was soon evidenced when the in- offensive paradeys were shot down like dogs, the chief of police of Havana leading the onslaught with a murderous machine gun. Several hundred persons were gravely wounded and almost a hundred killed, RENOVISE THE UNITED STATES Eighty-five percent of Americans are jinadequately housed. cent live in hand-me-down quarters bare of modern comforts and Where our annual building expenditure conveniences. in 1928 was $6,500,000,000, it was only | rs 2 billion last year. These facts appear in an editorial in the St. Clairsville, Ohio, Chronicle. And, as the editorial further points out, there are sound indications that a major building revival is on its way. Every American de- sires better living conditions; millions of Americans have been prevented from | achieving them the past few years either because of financial stress or fear of the future. That fear is now being allayed— recovery has started, and it can be seen in all parts of the country. Men are going back to work, factory chimneys are smok- ing—and dollars are finding their way into pockets from where they will go to buy the necessities of life. A good part of those dollars will either be used to build new homes, or rebuild and modernize old ones. It’s time for a national campaign to “Renovize the United States.” That would speed recovery and be the most potent in- fluence that could be brought to play in stabilizing price levels and providing em- ployment. fi Remember that eoialonnient aid in- vestment are better and cheaper than char- ity. Remember, too, that in a few months, when the building boom gets underway, prices are going up and are going to stay up. Get in on the “building bargains” while they are still being offered. POWER IN THE RESTAURANT One of the most interesting exhibits at the Chicago World’s Fair is that show- ing power at work in the modern restau- rant, —~ The restaurant, which is shown in a one-quarter size model, has a fifty-seat ca- pacity, the chairs being arranged about a U-shaped counter, precisely as in-the av- erage sandwich shop of today. But it is very different from that shop in its equip- ment. In the center are food storage cab- ‘inets—refrigerating units with glass’fronts through which foods, temptingly arranged, may be seen, and electric warming ovens. Above this equipment is a concealed light- ing system. that represents mdénths of pa- tient work by electrical experts and artists. Tt casts an eyen white light upon the count- ter so that each guest has abundant shad- owless illumination without the slightest glare. From the same source light rises to play in restful changing colors on the entire ceiling of the room. In the rear of the restaurant is a model electric grill where food is ‘prepared in full view of the diners, Due to scientific design and electric air-conditioning, guests are cool and comfortable and unbothered by cooking odors. This restaurant is emblematic of two of the principal features electricity offers the merchant—increased efficiency and a more. attractive display from the _ custo- mer’s standpoint, The prosperous shop and restaurant and store of the future will be the one where most is done to present goods in a tempting manner. The electri- eity at work exhibit at the World’s Fair gives us an insight inte the commercial es- tablishments of tomorrow. APPENDICITIS AGE 25 The age at which most people develop appendicitis is in their twenties, with a preponderance of cases occurring about the age of 25, according to Dr. Roland M. Har- per, who has studied 267 cases treated in a hospital with which he has been in close touch. While the ages of patients ranged from 6 to 65 years, the average was 25, for either whites or negroes, males or females, in city or country. Dr. Harper points out that this find- ing closely agrees with the statistics of ; hospitals in various parts of the country, | and may be taken as a fair average for the entire population. Appendicitis is evidently disease which generally attacks persons in the prime of life, like tuberculosis and ty- phoid fever. Except in a relatively small he says, a percentage of cases, it rarely attacks the / very young or those past middle age. Those over 50 years of age are rare- | | } | | THE KEY WesT Daily Cross-word Puzzle , Seveniy-five per | | eeeccccccososcescccesacscacceeoccosccessnvccocens | ACROSS 1.
