PLACES YOU OUGHT TO VISIT
Chicago has come to be a mecca for students, summer resorters and travelers from every walk of life. For work or play they come to "The Windy City."
This is as it should be, for Chicago has outdone most American cities in providing opportunities for work, study, recreation and enjoyment. which is accessible alike to rich and poor. If a student wants to learn a trade, take a business course, or complete a professional course at the university, he has every facility for doing so under the best trained teachers in the land.
The places one might visit are many and varied. No visitor on an or- dinary vacation can see half there is to be seen. Every way you turn there is something different. So the wise seeker after knowledge secures a guide book, or its equivalent, selects the places he wishes to visit and sticks to his program.
Chicago has every good thing, and all the best things are free, except food and raiment, and in some quarters. even these are freely dispensed to the really needy. Balmy breezes from the Great Lake cross Michigan Blvd. on Lake Front and penetrating to every nook and corner make the city a very comfortable place to live in. But this is not all that's free. The Art Institute, Public Library, Y. M. C. A., Frederick Douglas Centre, Fellowship League and other places for self-improvement are open free to all.
Sears, Roebuck & Co.
Now, let us look a little farther out. One might like to see Sears, Roe- buck & Co's largest mail order house in the world. Visitors are given spe- cial attention. This plant is located at Arthington and Homan Avenue.

BLACK'S, BLUE BOOK
Union Stock Yards
The Union Stock Yards are reached by South Side Elevated, changing at Indiana Avenue Station to Stock Yards branch. Packingtown, which lies just behind the yards. covers about 200 acres. Here is the principal live stock and meat-packing center of the United States. Nearly all of the forty meat packing plants are located here, and all make a specialty of showing visitors through their plants. It's great to be here at "hog-killing time." Then if you are interested in the methods of preparing foodstuffs there is a large concern here which devotes itself exclusively to this end of the busi- ness, putting out every month about 10,000,000 cans of corn beef ox tongue, mince meat, etc.
Lincoln Park
Turning to the parks, we shall look first at Lincoln Park, which is the star attraction on the North Side. (Any surface car line on North Clark or Wells Street skirts the park at its southwest side). Great interest centers around the zoological buildings. If you are interested in animals you will find some specimens here that are new to you, unless you are familiar with the animals of Europe, Asia. Africa, Australia and the Islands of the Sca. The zoo contains 2,300 speciments of mammals, reptiles and birds. A favor- ite time for visiting is 4 p. m. when the animals are fed.
Among the numerous pieces of sculptor's art in Lincoln Park the bronze statue of Lincoln, by St. Gaudens, at the Dearborn Street entrance, easily takes first place. This statue is considered to be a masterpiece of the sculp- tor's art and is generally regarded as one of the best likeness of the war president in existence. Over at the Wisconsin Street entrance is a grave which is marked by a great red boulder with a bronze tablet. This tablet reads: "David Kennison, the last survivor of the 'Boston Tea Party,' who died in Chicago, February 24, 1852. age 115 years 3 months 17 days and was buried near this spot."
Jackson Park
Don't miss Jackson Park. Cottage Grove Ave. to Sixty-third, transfer east to Jackson Park.) Herein is the Midway Plaisance, that historie spot which carries us back to the days of the World's Fair of '93.
The Field Museum, located in this park, is a source of attraction to vi- sitors and students from afar. Marshall Field, whose name the museum perpetuates, has given in all $9,400,000, others have given $500,000, and from sources other than endowment the museum has an income of $25,000. Though devoted to science, the museum makes every effort to have a variety of exhibit in each department which will interest and be understood by the average visitor. To scientists and special students, therefore, the museum in an inexhaustible mine; but any visitor to Chicago may spend at least a day here with pleasure.
An interesting feature of Wooded Island is the Cahokia Court House. reputed to be the oldest public building in the Mississippi Valley. It was built about the year 1716 at Cahokia, Ill., and has served in various public capacities. At different periods it was employed for both civic and military purposes, and is recognized as the oldest county seat building (St. Clair Co., Ill.,) in the original Northwest Territory.

Washington Park (Cottage Grove Avenue Cars South to 57th Street.)
We usually think of Washington Park as a place of rest and recreation because of its special adaptation for such purposes. While there are some important buildings in this park, we are at first sight struck with the vas: expanse of undisturbed playgrounds. This is the second largest of the south parks, and is a 371 acre rectangle. Twenty-three acres of lagoons, 7 miles of charming, winding driveways, bridle paths, lawns and shrubbery, make it a beautiful park, while in the center of the expanse is a vast meadow. Here the Sunday Schools bring their picnics in summer because of its free- dom from danger to children. Here are numerous facilities for enjoyment, including tennis, football, baseball, basketball, roque, bowling, archery, wading, horseback riding and fly casting, and in winter there is curling, tobogganing and skating. Here on Saturday the church teams of all deno- minations vie with each other at baseball.
Other Parks
Other amusement parks where a small general admission fee is charged as well as a fee for admission to the many special attractions inside, are: "White City," 63rd and South Park Avenue, and "Riverview" corner West- ern and Belmont Avenues.
But to describe all the places of interest about Chicago would require a book in itself. We have given you here the merest glimpse, just as they occurred to us and without regard to any order. You may be interested to see these things for yourself. If you do, you may be impressed, as was the Queen of Sheba, who having finally got an opportunity to view Solomon's Temple, exclaimed: "Behold, the half was not told me."

MORE NEGROES IN BUSINESS
Increase in Local Commercial Enterprises of Colored People
Negro business enterprises, large and small of all varieties, have increased from 1,200 in 1919 to 1,50 in 1920, according to a canvas completed for "Black's Blue Book of Chicago." The compilation lists. 651 industrial and commercial houses conducted by persons of the colored race on South State Street, 549 on principal cross streets, and an estimate of 300 as the number of new establish- ments on other streets.
The increase in 31st street is from nine negro business places in 1918 to 45 in 1919 and 71 in 1920. In 35th street two years ago were 47; last year, 64; this year 77. The congestion of housing about 35th street is given as the cause of the movement to 31st street.
Cottage Grove Avenue is listed as having 57 colored business establish- ments from 28th to 45th street. These include nine grocery stores, three drug stores and two undertakers. From 31st street to 47tlı, Indiana avenue has 68 business places chiefly at intersections of 31st, 35th and 39th streets.
