p--- August 14, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 15 CHICAGO RODEO HERE Soldiers' Field b+ Scone of World's Championship Contests from August 14 to 22 All roads will lead to Soldiers' Field, Grant Park, on Chicago's lake front, August 14 to 22, for the Chicago world's championship Rodeo contests are on again. This year the number of daring cowboy and cowgirl con- testants from the heart of the western frontier country is fifty per cent great- er than last. A troup of the Flathead Indian tribe, more than fifty strong, with their ponies, squaws, braves, medicine men, and camp equipment, are adding their aboriginal native rid- ing and dancing contests to the thrillers that have made the Chicago Rodeo famous. Cash prizes totaling $35,000 are an- nounced by Tex Austin, who has the Rodeo under his personal direction again as last year. The Chicago As- sociation of Commerce is also award- ing the world's championship trophies and belts to the cowboy and cowgirl winners. Use Wild Cattle More than 300 head of cattle and calves--the latter big 300-pound fel- lows used in roping--are already on the way to Soldiers' Field. These in- clude wild, untamable Mexican long- horn steers, and heavy cross-bred Mexican-Brahma cattle--some of them veritable man-killers which the cowboys must ride. From all over the western cattle country Austin and his agents have combed the top herds of the roughest stock to get these animals, which will engage in contests of ferocity against plainsmen's skill twice daily during the Rodeo. More than 350,000 persons, it is ex- pected, will see the Rodeo contests this year. The huge size of the Sol- dier's Field stadium, wherein ranch life in the open can be duplicated in an admirable setting, makes possible, however, no rise in price over last year's admission figures, which range as low as $1 to 2.50 for the best seats. Tickets for all day's contests are for Attic of Future Will Have Great Variety of Uses attic, abused spot in the home, is about to take on a new dignity, says the Celotechnic In- stitute of Advanced build- ing methods forecast a bright future for this "orphan of the house." The attic of tomorrow, according to the institute, will go far beyond today's attic in the variety of uses of which it will be adapted. The present-day at- tic, if utilized at all for other purposes than storage, contains a little used room or two, and the discomfort of summer heat and winter cold is ac- cepted by most people as a matter of course. The perfection by science of a new insulating lumber gives promise of changing all this. Heretofore, roofs built of ordinary materials served as a point of attack for the sun's rays in hot weather and allowed furnace heat to leak out in cold weather, making it almost impossible to keep the attic rooms comfortable. Now the same attics can be lined with the new insulating lumber which sheds the heat of summer and the cold of winter, and opens the attic for sleep- ing rooms, play rooms, workshop and a myriad of other uses. Thus a new dignity is brought to a much-maligned spot in the home, and opens for every- day use space otherwise useless. This new development also brings a very material saving in fuel. Bagasse or crushed sugar cane fibre from the mills of the south is the material that goes into the mak- ing of this man-made lumber, accord- ing to the institute. Previous to the discovery of its insulating qualities in walls, floors, ceiling and roof, tons of this waste material were to be found piled around the mills waiting for disposal, as a poor grade of fuel.

Some idea of the present enormous production of Ford cars is obtained when it is recalled that it was only a little more than two years ago, June 4, 1924, that the famous "Ten Millionth Ford' was produced, an event which was celebrated by driving the car across the country from New York to San Francisco on the Lincoln high- way. In the twenty-five and a half months elapsing since that time Ford output increased 4,000,000. The first Model T was turned out on Octorber 1, 1908 and it was not until seven years later, December 10, 1915, that the first million was reached. either 200) 0-8 08 VN 00) 200 IN plo Xololo iN) &W § DON'T WAIT to take advantage of this great made-to-measure tailoring opportunity--for "57 Z SUITS (with 1 Extra Pants FREE) SUIT & O'COAT (with 1 Extra Pants FREE) on TE -- The Regular Royal Satisfaction Guarantee Still Holds Every Garment Made-to- Measure--Still a Multitude of Fine Fabrics to Choose From!
