12 THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1921 ,Floundering' Plane Spread General Scare Sighted on Waters off Kenilworth | Provides Work for Coast Guards but Flies Far, Far Away The crew of the United States Coast Guard station at Evanston en- gaged in a futile search Monday evening for an hydroplane said to have gone afoul off the Kenilworth shore and which, according to vari- ous reports, was floundering in the waves of Lake Michigan within sight of the Kenilworth beach. That a hydroplane had descended to the water was substantiated by Mrs. C. G. Burnham and her small son, a Boy Scout, of 536 Roslyn Place, Ken- ilworth, who upon sighting the plane, apparently in distress, summoned the coast guards. Subsequent calls were received at the station reporting the craft had collapsed and was in dire distress. Searching about in the darkness the guards failed 6 locate any trace of the plane and it was learned later the craft had taken wing and departed for the hangars at the Great Lakes Naval Training station.

This is due to the fact that patrons who formerly bought single-ride tickets are now buying commutation tickets at lower rates than the old ones they say. The company also points out that its employes have been receiving from $200 to $250 a month. The recent wage reduction was less than that made by trans- portation companies generally throughout the country. Eider-Down Duck. . There are two varieties of eider duck--the common eider and the king's elder, the latter supplying the down which is exported from Green- land, while that of the former comes mainly from Iceland. Ten thousand pounds of down is obtained annually from the latter country. The eider is larger than the common duck. The drake is black with a white back, while the female is brown with white i 757 Foxdale avenue; OF LEXINGTON SALESMEN 3 North shore motor enthusiasts are interested to learn of the opening of tion of the Lexington and Gardner motor cars.

LIPS THE PROGRESSIVE GROCERY Winnetka, Illinois Phone Winnetka 888 | Odessa and the capital city of the ODESSA: FARIS OF THE | UKRAINE Before the wur no city of the Near East save Bucharest so nearly resem- bled Paris and Vienna in its hectic night life as did Odessa, conspicuous in the fighting of Ukrainians, Poles and Bolsheviki, Odessa had hundreds of sidewalk cafes, its municipal opera and its pal- aces of chance. It had more than half a million population, yet it is one of the newest cities in Kurope. Moscow's history extends over a thousand years, that of Odessa only a little be- yond a century. There is a unique analogy between United States. Both were started at about the same time--during the last decade of the eighteenth century--and both were begun because of the far- seeing wisdom of the chief exacutives of the two nations. g Perhaps the odd=ast roiucidence is the fact that they beth were planned by foreign civil engineers of the same nation. While Major L'Enfant was de- vising the 'city of magnificent dis- tances" to be erected on the banks of the Potomac, Voland, also a French- man, laid out Odessa on the shore of the Black sea. While President Wash- ington was dreaming into being the beautiful city which bears his name, Czarina Catherine the Great was spon- soring the upbuilding of a municipal stepping stone toward the chief object of the Russian Bear's stealthy tread-- Constantinople. Like Washington, Odessa was laid out in the midst of a virtual wilder- ness and swamp. An isolated Turkish fort, Khaji-Bey, stood on the site of the present city at the time, 1789, when it passed to Russia. In early years of the Christian era Greek colo- nists had taken advantage of the bay of Odessa. Until five years ago the railway dis- tance between Odessa and Moscow was more than a thousand miles, but a new line, via Bakhmatch, reduced that dis- tance to 814 miles. The steamship distance between Odessa and Constan- tinople is 360 miles. From its history it is evident why Odessa was far from a typical Rus- sian city. Mark Twain found the only Russian things about it to be the shape of the droshkis and the dress of the drivers. He might have mentioned the gilded domes of a few churches. There the Russian likeness ends. A few miles to the north and also to the southwest are three "limans." or lagoons, famous for mud baths believed to benefit persons with rheumatism, gout and skin diseases. The most pop- ular of these is 20 miles long, a mile wide, 10 feet deep and lies 16 feet below the level of the Black sea. Complete Furnishings For Fall Wear Our fall stock is coming in rapidly.
