WHY THE CIVIC AUDITORIUM
SHOULD BE ERECTED ON
CHICAGo'S NEAR WEST SIDE
Statement of the West Central Asso-
citation

"Chicagos Civic Auditorium, to be
maximum success, must be available
to the masses Of the peopIe-the people
of the city, Of the county, and Of the
country at large
With this as their sloganic conten-
ton, members of the West Central AS
ISOLATION are pressing determined de-
mand, with sites and plans 10 back up
their claim. that the new and vast
Civic Auditorium be erected on the
near West Side in the center Of Chi
cago's population Further. they pro-
pose, as the result of suggestion by
Director John L. Fortune. that the
big convention hall have companion
exhibition hall structure A committee,
Of which j. p Strickland Is chairman,
has compiled data as to sites and ar
chitectural plans.
The West Side alone can offer a
site provided with adequate and con
venient transportation. said Homer J..
Buckley, president Of the Association.
That's the big reason why lake
front site, as proposed by the South
Parks Commission and a private syn
dictate, will not do. Its availability to
motorists, as argued by a few. is
against it. The great mass Of the peo-
pie who will FIJI the Civic Auditorium
will not 60 there by motor They
will use surface and elevated lines
Recently one of the largest State street
stores had an expert survey made. The
finding was that but two per cent Of
its customers came to shop by auto
mobile Even if motor facilities were
a major requirement, such a site
would but further congest traffic in the
loop and Michigan avenue Pedes-
TRANS. required TO walk mile or two
from the nearest elevated or surface
line, would face taking danger in
attempting to cross Michigan avenue.
The West Side presents no such dan
gers and obstacles"
Relative TO the plan for the vast su-
ditorium and an adjacent and connect
ed great Exhibition Hall. Mr.. Fortune
said:
The site between Van Buren, and
Harrison streets. with Canal and Gin
ton streets as its east and west boun-
DIARIES, would be ideal The Chicago
Plan Commission approved the new
postofice site. lying between the same
east and west boundaries. but extend

chiefly because it was held this would
best facilitate the opening Of Congress
street from Michigan boulevard to its
western terminus And this improve

to completion My suggestion allows
for the opening OF Congress street as
a splendid boulevard Erect the Civic
Auditorium between Van Buren, and
Congress streets. with the Exhibition
Hall extending from the new Congress
boulevard to Harrison street The two
great civic buildings would be con-
nected at their main floors beneath
Congress street. With grades for the
new boulevard determined, erection
could begin Immediately.
Availability of such structures to
the people of the city, county. and the

AUTOMOBILES, OBESITY AND

Bv Herman N. Bundesen. MD,
Commissioner

Your eyes have been created to see
other things than the speedometer and
the oil indicator" says DR.. Herman
n Bundesen. commissioner Of health,
IN his latest issue Of "Chicago's.
Health"
III is certain that our youngsters
are taking out the car to 60 couple OF
blocks. when they ought to be walk
ing; and no matter how sane and wise
we are about some things, we our
selves. as parents, are setting a bad
example in this particular, for, except
for a pew pedestrian enthusiasts,
America is taking its outdoor recrea-
ton. big and little. on wheels" con
tinues DR.. Bundesen.
The man who permits himself to
carry a load of excess fat is thereby
shortening his life The adipose tissue
does not conhne itself to the rotundity
Of his paunch, but trickles in among
his muscles and his vital organs, inter
iering seriously with their functioning.
Diabetes and heart disease" are by
far more common and more fatal in
the obese; and there are cases of high
blood pressure which are due TO moth
ing but corpulence and which are
cured by return to normal weight
For the average professional or
business man, the wisest and most sal
utary form of exercise is walking This
IS so well known and so commonplace
that it is not taken seriously. We do
not mean a 2O-mile hike two or three
times a year, with week in bed for
recovery each time, but two or three
miles of ordinary brisk heel and toe
work every blessed day-365 times a
wear" DR.. Bundesen is convinced.
That is not so hard as il sounds
Fortunate, indeed, is he who lives a
mile from the car line and has to walk
10 it every day If we will walk on
some Of our city calls or business APP
pointments, for part Of the day at least,
or walk to and from the train. near
house or Office, and then when neces-
sary, fiji in with a mile or two before
going to bed, we can do the trick al
most without noticing II. It will be
come habit.
This is the most splendid time OF
the year to acquire the walking habit.
The growing leaves. the blossoming
flowers, the courtship and nesting of
the birds offer surprising amount OF
wholesome entertainment TO the man
or woman who has eyes to see and
ears to hear 1t does for the body and
the soul what no high-powered motor
and no automobile horn can do and
leaves a permanent impression there
Cut little off the budget for gas
and oil and tires and add il in the
column for the purchase of shoe
leather and the promotion of sound
body and we'll disciplined mind. Cut
little of the expenses for caviar,
lobster, duck soup and bootleg hootch
and switch around to spinach. carrots
and buttermiIk for awhile" is the
Health Commissioner prescription.
Not only will walking help you to
live longer; it will help you to live
more and better. as well.

Pere Marquette Stock
 Dividend Is Refused

Washington, Oct. P-The Pere Marquette railway was denied per mission today to declare 20 per cent stock dividend amounting to se,0o9,20O by the interstate com- merce commission which held that the financial structure and situation of the Pere Marquette company did not justify such Q dividend declara- tion.
 Considering the financial struc- ture of the Pere Marquette are the purposes for which surplus should be accumulated, the commission said, "the amount of its invested surplus is insufficient to justify dis trihuting all or any part of 1t to stockholders as stock dividend.
 Moreover, as the proposed issue of stock would result in the capital liabilities exceeding the capitaliza ble assets, the granting of authority to issue stock for distribution as a stock dividend prior to the finding the final valuation Of the property would not appear to be compatible with the public interest"
