SQUATTER'S BEACH
ENR|CHES CHICAGO
Can't. Streeter'S BreakWater
Adds Valuable Acres to
Water Front.


CHICAGO, July ga small. ir-
regularly shaped strip of land north
of the Chicago River and adjacent to
the Gold Coast" has been dubbed
with many a high-sounding name, in
Guiding 1.-The billion-dollar triangle. F."
But to Chicagoans for generations to
come it probably will be known by
the homely name of "StreeterviIle."
For the district, far less than a
square mile in area and of tremen-
dous value, got it's name from the late
Capt. George Wellington Streeter, an
eccentric personality, who fought for
a generation a losing fight in Chi
cago courts to make good his claim
to the land through squatter sover-
eighty, which began in 1886, when his
houseboat was wrecked off Lake
Shore drive.
Sand Adds Acreage.
He built a breakwater about the
craft and rapidly shifting sands filled
in the space between it and the shore
until eventually many acres were add
ed. This was the beginning of the
"deestr;ct" of Lake Michigan which
Capt. Streeter sought to have recog-
nized as a separate Federal territory,
outside the jurisdiction of Chicago
and Illinois
The annals of four decades are vo-
LUMINOSITY filled with records of that
fight, which continued after his death
when his widow took up the gauge,
but with as little success.
Today, with the smoke of battle for
sovereignty still in the air, the dis
trict has nevertheless forged ahead
until it has vecome one of the most
precious pieces of real estate in the
world. 1t is veritable forest of
towering and spacious apartment
buildings and hotels, the abode of the
wealthy and the socially prominent.

CHICAGO. July 24.--Chicago some

Roast Pig Tickles
Palates of Cubans
AS National Dish

BY the Associated Press.
HAVANA, July 24.-Cuba's ma
tional dish is roast pig.
The pig, 20 to 40 pounds on the
hoof, is stuffed with dressing
made with bread base, to which
is added spices to suit the indi-
vidual taste. 1t takes the place of
honor on "Noche Buena" Christ
mas eve) instead of the familiar
American turkey on Christmas day.
The most popular dish is chicken
and rice. The chicken is stewed
and the rice steamed separately.
They are combined with a few
strips of a mild red pepper grown
In Cuba and placed in an earthen-
ware dish and baked. Sometimes
eggs or saffron are added to the
rice.

pines, and the fruits of the plant con-
tain hard, white, edible kernels.
But the most important thing about
the nipa palm, from the point of view
of the hibulous male Filipino at least,
is the sirupy sap that can be obtained
in quantity by cutting of the thick
towering stem. This can be boiled for
sugar or made into vinegar-but more
frequently it isn't. 1t is fermented,
and the resultant liquor, potent
enough even In its natural state, is
put through a crude distillation proc.
ess. The result is "vino," one gill OF
which can put the disciplined
doughboy into the guardhouse for
anything from kicking his command
ing general to shooting up prayer
meeting. If nipa juice can be Oh
verted from it's present ways of sin
to the sweet sobriety of sugar, vet

thing for the Philippines.

The nipa palm, which Col. Carmi
Thompson, President Coolidge's ennis
sary in the Philippine Islands, recent

source of sugar, has long been an i'm

of the people of the Islands. 1t sup

Primitive Bush Tribe Found.

A race of primitive Bushmen, one
of the lowest types of humanity, has
been discovered in the great Kalahari
Desert, South Africa, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
These Rushmen can safely he called
the shyest people in the world. At
the approach of a stranger, even of
their own color, they will run for
miles. or, if taken by surprise, they
will burrow in the sand and hide
themselves.
Scientists declare them to be not
only the most primitive race of the
present time, but of all time. Their
level of intelligence is considered to
he the equal to that of stone age
man. In 20 years time, it is com
puted, they will be extinct.

PLATTSBURG, N. ". July "a
An odd memorial to Sarah Bern

by a devoted admirer seven months
after her death, stands in little
frequented spot near here. it's ex-
istence unknown TO the outside
world.
The date of its erection. October
is, 1923, marked 1t among the first
in this country.
The monument, composed of con-
crete blocks on ii stone and cement
base standing fourteen feet high.
was built by Charles d. Bean.
Geneva lawyer and descendant OF
colonial settlers. who had followed
her career in this country and the
foreign capitals. Mr.. Bean built the
statue in the name Of one of the
oldest school societies in this coun
try, the. knights of Cyprus, of which
he is a trustee.
Inscribed With Tribute.
Situated in a wooded plot on Mr..
Beams estate, the memorial has on
its face a plaque of Vermont marble
bearing this inscription:
ITO Madame Sarah Bernhard. The
greatest actress in the world, whose
lyric fire and divine voice gave more
intense and supreme life TO the poets.
In profound admiration is built this
rugged memorial. by the Knights of
Cyprus and devoted friends. 1915

The knights of Cyprus Society
was founded at St Johns School,
Trinity Parish. here, many years ago.
1t was formed after the plan later
followed by college fraternities.
Society Met Bernhardt.
The president of the fraternity
once was presented to Nine. Bern
hardt in Paris, which gave impetus to
the study of the theater by the mem
bers of the society, and later many
other members met the tragedienne
in New York.
Mr.. Bean said that she became ell
thusiastic over the societys plans to
build a chapter house in a wooded
section of New York for Summer
use.
This later was accomplished and
now the memorial stands nearby.
