(Copyright by King Features Syndicate. Inc.) CHICAGO, 11!., .Inly :!. Hot in Cliii'iiBO today, but hot as hot as in New York. The iisp that Chicago iiitcllif?1'"1'1' inaltes of its marvelous water front offsets the heat. You ride for miles along Luke Michigan and see tens of thou sands of men, women and ehil dren bathing, their numbers re minding you of photographs showing Hindus crowding into the holy Ganges river. ( 'hicagoans, however, a r e clean to begin with, and bathe in the clean waters of Lake Michigan. After the hath they walk to their houses anil nobody ar rests them. Chicago has an idea that lakes and parks be long to the people, not to any group of busy-bodies. Xot eontent with improving the entire lake front in mag nificent fashion, Chicago is huilding a road far out in the lake that will run from the In diana state line on the south all the way north past Chi cago's business district as far as Lake Forest. Later it will run, presumably, to the Wisconsin state line. M Chicago knows how to util ize her location on the lake. New York and other eastern cities should come out here and learn. Chicago does things in half the time that the east would take to talk about them. This city was burned down and rebuilt only yesterday. New York, after hundreds of years, has just decided to change the jlirty, dreary shore of the Hast Jtiver to a wide highway. And even then there will be no place where New York's b', 000,OtX may bathe as people bathe in Chicago. On a fine, fast train coining here from Washington, the Pennsylvania ' "Liberty Limit ed," a wet pessimist in the club ear, sulkily drinking iced tea, said: "This is the best train in the world (Liberty Limited). It runs from Washington, where they pass laws to keep you from drinking what you want, and takes you to Chicago, where racketeers regulate your busi ness for yon. Limited is the word, and liberty is the joke."

Both sai'd they felt fine, altho O'Brine added he was n "little weak in tne knees. Asked as to the hardest part of the flight, O'Brine replied without hesitation "the first 1 0(1 hours." Both airmen hail praise for the plane. Jackson adding "that old motor sure is a lulu.
