 For it was , :45 on the great avenue and Il an. inc driven Chicago and the states .rcLnu seemed concentrated in one vast rrc2s>i, Il. Down tAe CaHy u7 Of the Ct,.- reets the lowering sun poured floods c! oIr making magic with the windows and ne smoke stained fronts of the upstanuIng buildings, adding the indecent hUes of the prism to the reflective surfaces of the newer ing, and comfortable fclAl had mounted their motors, bol>terouSIy hurrying from tie ,rind.
 The traffic officer climbed back on the light eminerce of his i-Ie of safety the better to held in cash his straning charges He knew them all. For mcnths nov he had cherisfed d clean record of not one mis nap to the eHcitable thousands GcpCHGlng or their very lives upon the welI-timed mo tionS of his arm and the intelligent bla # his high-keyed whistle.
 He knew them aIl aGI what a picture trey presented. The beautiful young thing { q, +i,, !, ping engine in front of her Her fingers twtched on the wheel her toes danced cn the pedals; power, action, luxury these were hers Life must be moving. She could hot endure the hating advance Of he great stream. Make way; tie princess nust on, The jelly Irish traffic officer miIed inIulgentIy
 Behind her another elaborate machine ourred softly. No sign of fever nor per urbatlon there.

The passenger, too. was known ie was the great uncrowned of the com munitv.
 Silver possessed his hair, his smooth shaved face was croWfooted, his eyes had .le nAeune>s ot ueep thought. He, too, had sensed the immenslty of the great cur rent and he had looked beyond to the scur- ying thousands of pedestrians People people, horGes of them, what did they sig nify what role was this great mass to play with him and his plans? He thought of his kingship, of the barriers he had erected here and there of the unracognizad obstruc- 'cns by which he had diverted the river of human need and desire to his own profit and power. How wouIl they behave when he new plan wes announced? The king vas uneasy, but he remembered to nod in friendly fashion to the man on the isle of safety.

 Then there were numbcrlesS visions of the intricate city. Young men in impudent low hung racers, roaring in ruucous vulgar 'y middle aged business men. anxious to tta;n Il home and dinner; wives weary rom shopping; wh@Ie families assembled fir a few hours in the open; big cars and little cars and mcdlun-sized cars; men and romen and children in all sizes and grades

 The jelly Irish copper waited watchfully and took note of all Here was the cinema of the comfortable city the display, the revealing of the lives of beauty, of power, of luxury of striving; here were faces which made manifest all that the great city does to its favored children; simple, wholesome faces servile faces, masterful faces; some marked with passion and prohigacy, some covered with the record of too much hope of living. some just people.
