CHICAGO CHANGES
 COLORS WEEKLY
This Summer Has Seen Many
 Gay Decorations

Chicago, Aug. Gp - Not since the world war has Father Dearborn had flags and bunting on his store fronts and houses in such profusion for so lonS time as the opening weeks of this summer.
 And perhaps never before have many pulled the latchstring to spend a few days. Since early June, when flags were mingled with white and gold bunting for the eucharistic congress, the city has been gayly decorated continuously.
 Even before the twelve cardinals and 750,0O0 other Catholic visitors had departed, the yellow and blue bunting in honor of the Crown Prince of Sweden had replaced the papal colors for a week. Then post CTS welcoming 150,000 Moose blos- somed in every window, with the flags still flying. Next came 100000 Elks and the bunting was changed to purple and white.
 The city fathers entered officially into the race for the title of "con- vention city" by ordering an elabor- ate court of honor around the block occupied by the City-County build- ing. As one set of visitors succeed ed another, the big plaster plaques on the forty foot pillars were chang ed to the coat of arms of the current group. The festoons of electric lights joining the huge pillars were dyed each week end to display the colors of the latest arrivals.

ITALIAN CULTURE
 HOME IS ERECTED
Columbia Has Bit of Old Italy
 at MOrninsSide

New York, Aug. P>-A bit of old Italy, as pure in form as Medici palace, soon will stand al the crest of Morningside Heights.
 The cornerstone of the Casa Italiana, controlled by, but removed from Columbia university, will be laid August 5. It then will take its place among the architectural gems on the heights as the only strictly individual representative of Italy in America.
 Paintings, art objects, and speci- mems of the work of Italian artists at the richest periods of history will grace the interior of the structure. The building proper. erected and financed by American architects and builders of Italian extraction, will be pure Italian in form. with a Florentine loge. The cost has been estimated at $300.000.
 All corners of the world will be represented, for gifts have been promised from persons wherever there are Italians.
 l King Victor Emanuel heads the list of contributors with two paint i ings.
 The dedication exercises in the fall will take the form of commem- orating Saint Francis, the Friar of Assissi. whose order, the Francis cans. was established in Italy and became responsible for much of the artistic progress of the country.

MISS EDERLE IS
 NEARING COAST
(Continued From Page 1.)

English channel was not Gertrude Ederle's first introduction to this rough waterway lying between the coasts of France and England. The one time amateur champion, who is now a professional, tried last summer to negotiate the some 19 miles of water which Neptune all ways has barred to women swim mers. After long training, Miss Ederle started from Cape Gris Neg, the same point from which she set out today, and was within 6 1-2 miles from the chalk cliffs of Dover when she became exhausted and collapsed in the arms of the Egyptian swimmer Helmy, who had plunged into the water to res cue her.
 Miss Ederle was in the water eight hours and 46 minutes, and the first part of her performance was regarded as among the best ever seen in the old channel. She attributed her defeat to large quantities of salt water swallowed repeatedly during two miles of the journey in a choppy sea in mid channel.
 Broke Speed Records
 When she started, the American champion broke all speed marks until she had to give up. Almost without warning and just as the cheers for her wonderful endurance for eight hours had ended, the swimmer faltered, as if in pain. She was given beef tea by her trainer Wolfe, but her hands shook as she took it. Then she went bravely on after a minutes rest towards the English coast, which was just coming into sight through the haze. Stubbornly she carried on but was winching with pain. She had to stop every few hundred yards, roll over on her bank and massage her body.
 Then came the collapse. The limp and crying girl was hauled aboard the tug. She was discon- solate and cried out, T just could not do it. The salt water was too much for me-"

ROOSEVELT SCHOOL
 READY FOR PUPILS
New Building Will Be Finished
 Before Fall Term

Obstacles which have been in the
 path of Architect Henry Ludorf in
 his efforts to have the Roosevelt
 school in the eastern section of the
 city ready for occupancy by the 1 opening of school in the fall have | been overcome to a considerable ex- 1 tent and due to feverish activity on the part of the contractor in the past few weeks. the school will be
 ready on time, MT. Ludorf announc-
 ed this afternoon.
 This is one of three schools now under construction which were to be ready in September. The other two, | the addition to the Nathan Hale
 Junior high school on Fremont street and the Lincoln school on Steele
 street will not be ready until the latter part of October or the first Of November. and for a time it was feared that the Roosevelt school would be delayed.
 The latest hold-up was the an- nouncement of the board of public works that it would not grade Good win street on which the school faces. In order that the school would re- ceive its water supply and the pro-
 per sewerage system could be install- ed, the street should be graded. The board claimed it did not receive an appropriation for this work and could not do it. A conference be- tween a representative of the school
 board the board of public works. the city engineer, the architect and
 Mayor Gardner c. Weld was held yesterday. Another conference be- tween City Engineer Joseph D. Will Hams Architect Ludorf, Reginald Towers, public works board chair

Merger Not Clear.

Just why ii would be necessary to
float $45 900 900 securities issue to
yconsummate the proposed consolida-
y ton of the Merchants Heat and Light
Company and the Indianapolis Light
and Heat company was source Of
much conjecture today in local util-
tiles circles.
Study Of the taxation assessments,
of the two companies, as recorded
with the State tax board. showed
that their present total valuation is
considerably less than half of the
securities issue which, it is authorita-
lively reported, will be asked Of the
Z public service commission.
Present valuation of the Merchants
Heat and Light Company, now con-
trolled by insult interests, is $8,200,-
600, records at the tax board SHOW.
The $40, ,965 assessment Of the

sets and the respective plant account
comprises accounts receivable, pre-
paid accounts, deferred debit items
and similar assets The larger figure
in each case, however, does not in

The true sale value Of the Mer-
chants company, which is due to be
sold to the Independent concern, might
run as high as $20,000,0 900 when these
