INTRODUCING CHICAGO
 NOISIEST SPOT IN WOLRD
Special to Gateway by United Press

Especial to Gateway by United Press)
 CHICAGO, June 5.-ChicagO start ed today to make good on the pre- diction that for the next week it will be the noisiest spot in the world-un- less it be verdun. Certainly it will be the spot where more words are spilled than anywhere else.
 All of which is by the way of pre- face to the fact that the convention crowds began arriving today They came chaperoned by bands, mega phoned assistants, singers and just plain noise-makers.
 By Wednesday, Chicago will be swollen with people to nearly twice it's normal size.
 There are 985 delegates to the Re- publican national convention, to ar rive, 985 alternates to the same, near ly 1000 delegates and alternates to the Progressive national convention; 10000 women workers for the ballot, mostly out of town boosters; to say nothing of just plain spectators lO the various affairs.
 Already the lobbies of Chicago's loop hotels seem as choked with human ty as they did at the height of the Republican convention sessions four years sgo.
 All the hotels, incidentally, began today removing every bit of furniture from their lobbies.
 No flower pots, vases, or chairs will clutter up space where enthusi- | asts may gossip, nor be near at hand for weapons in case arguments wax too hot.
 One well known hotel, which sports fountain in the middle of one of its dining rooms, began today to ihclose this spot of water. It is a precau- tion which proved successful four years ago and saved a lot of rescues of persons and things which in pre- vious convention times seemed to have a natural habit of gravitating thereto.
 The Coliseum and the Auditorium where the Republican and Progressive hosts will hold solemn conclaye, were ready for the crowds today.
 Tickets for the Republican conyen- tion were at the biggest premium they

sections consider their most dangerous
source of forest fires. Commissioner

poster that makes special appeal to
the careless smoker. Maine has care
less smokers as is evidenced by the
fire reports received last year and they
have been asked to be careful in the
new poster of this year. If a man US
ing matches in the woods would always
break them in two after using no fires
would result from this cause.
