Fort Sheridan Is in Midst of Big Spring Renovation Under the energetic dnve of Gen. 'C . H. Conrad, Jr., commanding the ar111v post, Fort Sheridan is taking on ne~'" life in many aspects. The oeautificatiofl: of the post is rapidly being carried out under the personal direction oi Lieut. Col. C. R. Mayo; the beach is being cleaned up; new installations are being made ; rifle range practice is un in full swing; and many summer camp plans are swiftly maturing. Trees and shrubs are being planted along roads and walks, adding a great deal to the natural beauty of the p lace. In addition, officers and men occupying quarters are planting individual flO\n'r gardens. A month's policing of lawns, roads, walks, parade grounds, and barracks Has given the entire post a ne\\' appearance. New concrete garbage stands are being erected which will do away with the hitherto unsightly screened racks. Even the corrals have been improved by new drainage installations. The cantonment area is practicall~· ready for occupation by the R. 0. T . C. and the C. M. T. C. students. The former are due June 16 for a six weeks' camp. the latter July 18 for a four " ·eeks' period. It is estimated that 500 R. 0. T. C. students will atend and ahot1t 2000 C. M. T. C. students. Two RAYMOND-WHITCOMB NORTH CAPE-BALTIC SUMM~R CRUISES S.S. "Carinthia"-- June !6 S.S. "Franconia"--June !9 Raymond-Whitcomb North Cape Cruises for almost ten years have been the most popular Summer Cruises to sail from America. This year there will be TWO Raymond -Whitcomb Summer Cruises to the Land of the Midnight Sun. The cruise-ships will be sister-ships-the newest Cunarders- specially designed for cruising. Sailing just after the close of schools and colleges, these cruises have consistently attracted younger people and families bound for a vacation together. They may be taken as a complete holiday in themselves (generous shore excursions characterize the programs) or as a delightful new way to Paris. The routes include Iceland, the North Cape and Hammerfest, Trondhjein, the most beautiful of the Norwegian Fjords and the cities of Scandinavia and the BalticBergen, Oslo, Stockholm, Visby, Tallinn (Esthonian capital), Helsing· fors (capital of Finland) and Copenhagen. The rates- $800 upinclude assured homeward accommodations by such noted Cunard liners as tl&e "Aqui· tania", uBerengaria" and "Mauretania" as well as the "Carinthia" ·a nd "Franconia".
