CHICAGO CLAIMS
 HIGHWAY HONORS
3,lO0 Miles of Street Be- ing Placed in First
 Class Condition

Word from Chicago that federal aid appropriations will make it pos- sible to put all of its 3,l00 miles of streets and highways into first class condition and that early completion of the outer link bridge over the mouth of the Chicago river will give the city a lake shore driveway ex- tending almost 20 miles along the edge of Lake Michigan, stresses the fact that the Windy City, long recognized as the railroad center. of the country now occupies the same position in Americas hard road sys- tenn.
 Today, the Chicago Association of Commerce points out, eleven federal highways converge in Chicago while fifteen high speed routes, 40 feet wide, lead out of the city. As ill the case of Rome, all roads lead to Chicago. More than 1S0,000 auto- mobiles enter and leave the central business district each day between dusk and dawn. At the city limits an average of 250,000 cars move through the gateways every "A hours.
 Michigan avenue bridge is the busiest bridge in the word-55. 900 automobiles pass over its six lanes in day. Agriculture and indus try fill the highways with com merce. Poultry, produce, fruit, milk move by truck.
 At the stockyards more than 10,- 900 trucks arrive monthly, the aver age haul being 110 miles, bringing cattle, hogs, sheep, horses from eight states. In 1884 trucks brought 3,193,5 animals to the stockyards. It was almost one-fourth of all stock received, and was equivalent to 55,208 rail car loads.
 In fitting itself to automobile traffic, Chicago ha dan advantage over many other cities. Older east ern towns were cramped with mar row streetss= With water on three sides of Manhattan,> New Workers take to bridges, tunnelf1 ferries with tolls. After the theater it is faster to walk than to taxi.
 Detroit is one city with facilities comparing favorably with Chicago's. Detroit makes tlle cars, the MiSsiS- sippi valley buys and drives them, and within 200 miles of Chicago are 100000 people; 300 miles, 9 million; 800 miles, AS million. And the concrete leads to Chicago.

 Possibility that Judge Vickers might find Drake insane was seen when he had two alienists, Drs. Samuel Marcus and Aaron Rosa noff, examine the youth. Although both said they found Drake sane at present, Dr. Marcus declared the youths reactions were similar to those of William Edward Hickman, notorious murderer of a decade ago.

HOG PRICES SLUMP
LOWEST IN MONTHS
Consumer Resentment and Tax
Ruling Are Blamed for
Severe Decline.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, November l.. Hog
prices in Chicago today had dropped
TO the lowest levels in almost four
months
Market prices were 81 to SIPS a
hundred pounds lower than early last
week and we're So below the 1885 high
point established in August
Declines of so cents to sl50 were
reported in distributing centers for
pork yesterday, with choice fresh
loins falling to $3.50 a hundred
pounds, compared with SIS last week
Top grade new crop hogs sold yes
terday at 8.35 hundred.
Consumer resentment and general
reluctance to pay high retail prices
for pork aided in forcing prices lower
at the stock yards. A recent court
ruling ordering packers to deposit hog
processing taxes in banks pending the
outcome Of the Supreme Court test on
the constitutionality of the A. A. A.,
also aided to lower prices, packers
said.
The tie-up of millions of dollars
in escrew. they said, had curtailed the
buying power of packers.
