Chicago Lake Front to Gain l,2OO Acres
 By Reclaimed Land

CHICAGO, Aug. 3. (P)-The re- claiming of land along a seven mile stretch of Chicago's lake front one of the greatest projects known to modern engineering, will add 1,200 acres of park and boulevard drive to the lakeside at a cost of approxi- mately $1OO,00O,O00.
 The projected plans call for the actual building up by dredging from the lake and filling in with soil and refuse from the city of 50,000,000 cu- bic yards of front. The city itself extends for 20 miles along the west ern shore of Lake Michigan.
 The filling in is being carried on at the rate of 10000 cubic yards a day. A fleet of trucks, three dredg- es and a score of barges are doing the work. In the last year, 20,154 feet of bulkhead also has been con- structed
 The first step in the process was the construction of an outer and in- her bulkhead of piles and timbers at distance ranging from one-quar- ter to three-quarters of mile from shore. The water enclosed was gradually displaced. Dredges are re- moving the shallow lake bottom out side of the bulkheads and throwing l the sand inside. About 80 per cent of the filling will be accomplished in this manner. Soil and refuse from the city will compose 20 per cent.

'Three Weeks" Comes
 To Screen Unchanged

"'Three Weeks comes to the screen exactly as I wrote it." That is the statement made by Elinor Glyn, world-famous authoress in New York on her return to London from the Goldwyn studios in Los Angeles, where she assisted Alan Crosland ln the filming of her most famous novel the film version of which is at the Liberty theater tonight
 Mrs. Glyn, in her statement, de- clared:
 T send a message to all those who are deeply and sincerely in love with Three Weeks to see it when it comes to the screen. Flappers and flirts may stay away, for this story is only for those who understand, who are ready to make sacrifices for their love, for after all, love that does not inspire sacrifices is not love at all.
 Three Weeks as a book, receiv- ed lot of the type of publicity it did not deserve. l was determined that when it came to the screen it would be a genuine and real DOT trayal of my book. I spent every minute on the set. I oversay the making of the costumes. I myself wrote the titles, so now when I my self leave the finished product in Am. erica, I do so with genuine happi. ness and joy in my heart.
 "The screen is getting more and more sincere in it's efforts every day. And before long it will be the only medium thru which genuine art and feeling are conveyed to the pub lie.
 My idea has always been to rid picture of the false note. The public response to everything that is real and true.

 Nineteen concrete bridges will De constructed, spanning the lagoons and the tracks of the Illinois Gen. tral railroad, which has its right of way along the shore line. Ultimate ly these tracks will be completely covered and will be run thru sub- way. Twenty-five miles of boulevard will be built along the reclaimed land, two of which will parallel Mich igan Boulevard The bridges, Whlch will connect the outer boulevard with all cross streets, will range III cost from s250,000 to nearly $1,O0O,- OOO
 More than two million cubic yards of fill from the dredges have been deposited within the bulkheads and 75O000 cubic yards have been con- tributed from various excavations in the city. Five million dollars were spent in this operation last year.
 The work is done entirely by con- tract and is financed by bond issue. Two issues of $S,0OO,O0O and $15,- O00,000 each have been authorized of which amount $12,500,000 have been issued, sold and the money spent.
 It is estimated by Chief Engineer Lynn White of the South Park Com mission, which has charge of opera tions, that if the present rate of pro- gress can be maintained, the lake front as outlined should be complet- ed in from ten to twelve years.
