They are the South Water street Dlan. which will change the famed fruit and vegetable market into a double decked thoroughtare with, tne '-.inner level devoted exclusively to mo tor traffic; the Union Station plan, and the Grant ParK plan. These schemes which primarily are traffic control and congestion relief ideas have received the cooperation ot the realty owners it the neighborhood and they are promising to cooperate by the erection of architecturally har monious structures. The Union station which is U be erected just across the river from the loop will cost about ten million dollars but the buildings which belong, to thc scheme will total as much, again, They include two giant freight terminals and a U. S. Mail terminal, the latter nearing completion. Y; .Work is expected to start shortly on the new Illinois Central station at Roosevelt ,road, just south of the loop. The Wield inuseum has juSt' been com pleted to the east of the; station.

The Chicago Tribune has announced ' . - - nrnVlitorts for the plans for a building to be erected by the newspaper, just north of the Chicago river which is to be "the most beauti ful building in the world." Within the1 . loop ' Proper th? streets are filled with materials and side walks are occupied by wrecking machinery, Old land such as the Strat ford hotel, the Grand Pacific hotel, the First Methodist church building and McVickers theatre have been demolish tures, most of them skyscrapers, which ed to make room for modern struc rapidly are winging their way sky ward.

The Swiss said it was impossible unless they knew how the money was to be spent. Rumania replied: "We need to replenish railroad rolling stock, par i ticularly engines." "Fine," said the Swiss bankers, "we I have these for sale. Take them, and pay for them in-cereals and patroieuir, 1 both of which you produce and we need." Thus were the arrangements concluded. ; 'f Similar borrowing and paying by i barter also has taken place with Czech oslovakia.

The Carolina guardsmen have just re turned from one of the most success ful annual encampments ever -held, and glad the youngsters are to get back on the soil of their home state. Yes, back to take, up their duties in othed lines of work. Leaving McClel lan in the inidst of a drizzling rain, packed in dusty day coaches for the long trip home, these husky cavalry-! men could be seen with a broad smile over their faces, all caused by the thoughts that had been reigning su preme for the last few days of their stay, that of returning home. These North Carolina soldiers left for MeClellan with just as much anx iety as they had for returning home. Every member of the squadron knew just what was expected of him, and the success of the camp is due to each individual. Every guardsman felt that it was up to him to keep his place free from scorn and filled with the highest type of manhood. When, there was du-. ties to be performed, they were right on the j6b. In the daily routine, inter est was kept up all during the en campment. North Carolina should be proud of the cavalry that they sent to Alabama. The work every troop did, deserves special mention. Oat on the dusty :.'drilj field where the sun had no mercy oh the tired soldier, the Car olina guardsmen worked from day to day. It was lots that they accomplish ed in the short time there, and on sev eral different occasions, the progress being made could be easily seen. The competitive drill held last Mon day morning was one of the finest ex hibitions ever staged by national guard , units and could be ranked withnany ilrills pulled off by regular army out fits. Everything was counted and the winners had to put up a splendid show ing in order to beat the competition ihat was found in that bunch of ma terial. In the troop drill, Troop "E" ; of Lincolnton commanded by Capfc. ) A. S. Lineberger, won first place, while Troop "E" of Hickory, commanded by Capt. Walter C. Taylor, was a elose second. The platoon was another fine rh4b)tion of the work; the 'men have. oeen Going at camp, me x'iaLU"" WJ" ning first place. was from Tro'op "G" and commanded by Lieut. John Geit ner. The competitive drill brought out every mark of distinction between the different troops of the Carolina caval ry. The appearance of the men was splendid and the condition of the hors-' es was excellent. Many comments were heard made by the regular army of ficers stationed at MeClellan and there was not one but would have made the red blood of every true North Carolina ciMren boil with pride for this branch of the rationrJ puai'd: General Winn, corn:v3n.isnt r.f ihe camp, stated that be was --ell p".ea?ed with the squad ron and congratulated them on the splendid showing made during their stay at MeClellan. . It was not all work for the fellows. Much time was their own and they could spend it just as they wished. Baseball reigned supreme in the line of sports and every unit of the guard took active part in this form of ath letics. - The headquarters detachment, mad up of young men from Hickory, had everything their way. Opening the sea son the second day after their arrival, they met and defeated the engineers of Columbia, S. C. for a close score of 4-3. This was the only closely con lasted game i played, for the next two showed, the Hickory boys decidedly better "ball players than their oppo nents. The three games played were won and the last two with overwhelm ing scores. The game with the 30th signal company of Cantop resulted in a 12-0 shut, and the last game, Spartanburg engineers lost by a one sided score of 20-1. Therefore it can be easily said that Hickory lads have the best claim for the championship of the guard units stationed at Mc Hellnn. "Sis" Hawn, remembered for his effective twirling in the high school championship race, was responsible for the excellent pitching, which every member of the club deserves special mention for the large number of runs registered during the race. Their op ponents registered four run while the headquarter was not satisfied with less than 3G. Baseball was the Sport Of all. North Carolina boys found lots of fun in' the swimming pool. Coming from the nooks and corners of the Blue Ridge mountains where the rip pling waters of some native stream ' slowly carves its way to lower lands, the youngsters early learned the art of that favorite old sport and wher ever they go command the attention of all and have the appearance of veter an swimmers. It was true at MeClellan, and this form of recreation was very popular. , . In all, the annual encampment was a hrge success and the North Caro lina boys found a place in the hearts of every Alabama citizen. Their thoughts now turn back to the weekly drill night preparing for. a better and better encampment the next summer. Possibly the President,- with two senses called, is waiting ior-nis Dase Ol v'tina -New ork W orld. k - ;1 a - In i It M 2! r 'S hi i i 1 u W If -4 'A hi 6' i-V :l : i f : It r 't if,- fcl II - 9, I?
