APPLETON and COMPANY %5 West 32nd Street, New York 23 STORIES At All Booksellers $2.50 4 | AUTO SHOW BEGINS _ _ AT COLISEUM SO0N The Chicago show will be open to the trade â€" dealers, distributors, manufacturers, etc.,â€"on Friday, Janâ€" uary 23 and Saturday afterncon. Then on Saturday evening the public will be admitted and it will be "their show" until the end. 1 For the first time in the history of the Chicago exposition it will be staged under one roof, the new wing at the north of the Colis¢gum making this possible. i As it will mark the twentyâ€"fifth anniversary both of the automobile industry and of the Chicago exposiâ€" tion, it has beer decided by Manager Samuel A. Miles that the decorations should surpass those of any former show and that an air‘ of festivity should be present. f & STAGED UNDER ONE ROOF Silver Jubilee of Chicago Show _ Is in Charge of a New York Exposition Expert > > Sam Asch of .New York, noted exâ€" position builder, has been assigned the stupendous task of providing the decorations for the Silver Jubilee of the Chitago National Automobile show at the Coliseum, January 23rd to the +81st inclusive. Mr. Asch has long furnished the decorations of the New York Auto show and other big expositions, and has a large staff of artists working on the tons of materâ€" ial. required for the Coliseuny event. Mr. Asch will treat the overhead decorations into one solid expanse of space, the dominating colors bening buff, : green and . silver. The silver commemorates the jubilee idea, the green typifies the festivity and jubiâ€" lation‘ and the, buff typifies the achievement of the automotive indusâ€" try in industrial and social life. |, *More than $60,000 square feet of material will be used in the collossal ceiling, requiring the labor of 200 artisans. This ceiling will be panelled with a renaissance border of Louis XVI design. Thousands of yards of gsilk silver cloth will be used to create a dazzling, shimmering effect, encasâ€" ing the giant trusses of the Coliseum. An innovation in the decoration at the jubileé show will be in the treatâ€" ment of the awkward underpart of the overhanging ‘balconies. This has been a tough problem to solve for many years. Mr. Asch has evolved the idea of making the under portions into spacious automobile show rooms of unusually graceful proportions. Specially designed alcoves with fine tapestries at the back will form the background for each of these indiâ€" vidual rocms. c Although Illinoisg river at one time ranked second among the rivers of world in the value of the food fish it produced, it is now of little importâ€" ance throughout its upper portions in fish production and is ‘virtually an open sewer, a menace to the health and weifare to all persons living along its valley, and a serious handiâ€" cap to the farming. interests of this great area of fertile land. j The scheme of decoration is so deâ€" tailed that every particle of the mamâ€" moth building will be hidden from view in the avalanche of beauty. And the same sense of show room treatâ€" ment will beâ€" given to all the meces sory spaces in the bolcony. ; Pollution. of the streams. of . this state, particularly Illinois river has reached a point where it is of interest not only to sportmen, but.is a serious menace to agricultural interests and the health and welfare of the people of the entire state,. That farmers and‘ sportsmen frem all parts of the state are preparing for a vigorous fight against stream pollution at ‘the next session of the general assembly, is indicated from the many : communications ~received by the ~secretary of the Federated Sportsmen. P esay A specially degigned "Flying Godâ€" dess" has been disigned by a noted sculptor with the: rising sun fof a background. To give the ‘ balconies an architectural sense of support, a specially modelled carytide goddess of transportation has been designed, her feet resting on an automobile wheel: while her un: are raised‘ to support the massive capital, | The floor itself will be‘ an innovaâ€" tion, being covered in its entiraty with 120,000 square feet of the finest grey linoleum, weighing over 60 tons. Pollution of IHllinois River And Other Streams Is Menace $ To Farmers Perhaps the most interesting feaâ€" ture of the balcony treatment will be the series of mural paintings in which the histcry of transportation will be portrayed from the earliest: to the present time. Two months of research has been spent in gathering the data for the various mbflds used in these paintings. 7 ols Every conceivable form of transâ€" portation will be portrayed in contrast with the present day comfort, utility, speed and convenience. In another series of mural paintings will be feaâ€" tured the basic elements of the autoâ€" mobile. Pictured, will be the story of steel, lumber, cotton, rubber, leather and copper. hetpes. . sPORTSMEN FIGHT STREAM POLLUTION According to resolutions adopted by THE HIGHLAND PARK PRESS, HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS the Ilinois Academy of Science at its last annual meeting active assistance by this large body of leading scienâ€" tists of the state will be combined with the efforts of sportsmen, farmâ€" ers, and public health officials in their fight against this needless pollution of streams. i & The plan includes additional legisâ€" |â€" ~â€"~ ht [ lation making the pollution of streams DEPUTY SHERIFFE TO . }>>â€" by any sewage or waste: unlawful TEAR DOWN mch with proper <and effective penalties Ariys:© e provided for ‘violations.
