This is but a slight a of the shortage is in a this Mr. i a then sought to elaborate for the interest of the luncheon attendants one of the major reasons for the so-called shortage with resultant high interest rates. In so doing he sought to enlighten his listeners by throwing light on the shortage of savings especially suffered by this in post-war years.

"During the war," Mr. Friedman said, "the country expended or obligated to spend the sum of $40,000,000.000 annually for the manufacture of war materials and the perpetuating of the fight to strafe the Hun. "Now in post-war years the country has strained itself in its efforts to save the sum of $45,000, 000,000 annually. This sum adequately obliterates the yearly obligations set up through the world war, but immediately presents the shortage of general savings." By his figures Mr. Friedman elucidated that the total over annual savings compared with war years was approximately $5,000,000,000, which he declared for a nation with such a a i and other resources as exist in this country is hardly enough to bring the interest late on borrowed money and other loans back to a standard within the leach of every person in the le Rates of interest, Mr.

Friedman declared, vary in size in the different parts of the country. This is due to the existing demand for said loans. In the farm loan districts, where loans are requested more frequently than in the city, the prevailing interest rate is much higher than that prevailing in the city. Mr. Friedman then went into minute details with regards to the interest At no time within the next few years would be predict a reduction in the rate of interest.

This he declared would be adjusted along with the adjustments of industries which are giadually now taking hold in the various manufacturing lines of the country. Although a small crowd heard Mr. Friedman, he enthusiastically received. A wave of mystery hung over the members ol the association following -Mr. Friedman's speech when President E.

H. Holtovff announced the speaker for the coming week would be a mysterious Henry S. Chandler, who would 1 address the members next Thursday noon. Mr. Chandler's subject will be "The Three R's." Despite appeals from various members in attendance at the meeting President Hollorff refused to reyea' the identity of the speaker or tr solve the mystery surrounding: his subject.

The editor also attempted to pry into the confidence of the executive in an effort to appease his curiosity. but he too met with the same rebuke meted out to other members in attendance. President Holtorff in concluding declared he hoped to see a larger attendance at the next meeting.

It will be the greatest event in Chicago since the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893.

The idea of the pageant was conceived in the brain of Mayor William Hale Thompson. At first he contemplated an exposition of the products a a and distributed in Chicago, with the aim of stimulating business, advertising Chicago as a world market, and giving employment to thousands of men and preventing a bread line. This idea he submitted to a group of representative Chicago business men. Their response was instantaneous and enthusiastic. It was given publicity.

The from business men in general was as enthusiastic as that of the first small group, and the mayor said: "The idea is good, but we haven't taken in enough territory. Let's include the whole middle west, the territory from which Chicago draws." Governors of twenty states were invited to send representatives to a dinner given at the Hotel LaSalle by the Hotel Men's Association a week ago. A dozen were represented and promised to co-operate. All lines ol i i invited to be lepresented. More than 600 bus- many quaint little dots on the map.

spondcd, and the enthusiasm was so marked that the mayor said again: "We must expand again. Let us take in the whole country," aiul that is now being done. Inquiries have already been received from every large city in America, and the Pageant of Progress exposition will! present exhibits showing the pro- gress made in important industry and business for a de- cades. For exhibition purposes the municipal pier, extending into the lake more than 3,000 feet, has been divided into sixteen sections, allotted to various industries. A chairman of each section has been named, and is now busy distributing the space among exhibitors.

As an indication of the interest that already has been the building and material men held a luncheon at the Hotel LaSalle Wednesday, March 2, and after a twenty-minute valk by Dr. John Dill Robertson, health commissioner, oversubscribed the section allotted to them by several spaces.

Jones, of 1300 W. 64th is suffering from smallpox. Dr. Jones, who maintains an office at 59th' and Halsled was stricken ill several weeks ago while attending several smallpox cases in the vicinity of Auburn Park and Gresham. It was first reported that Dr.

Jones had pneumonia, but further examination revealed he was the victim of the dreaded smallpox. Despite his serious illness the doctor is reported making favorable progress. reported cessation of building activities throughout the city. Englewood, Auburn Park and other sections of the south side are face to face with one of the most serious propositions ever confronting them--the house shortage. Never in the history of the south side has building activity come to a dead standstill and remained so for any length of lime as has prevailed during the past few years.

A tour of inspection through the south side districts reveals that in but very few cases houses are in the progress of construction. No latfdable account can be given for the standstill. Contractors queried lay the blame on the high cost of material and the reluctance of people to building houses in any form. Then, too, the landlord question and the relentless cognomens and curses thrown at them has its effects, it was reported. At the present i scarcely enough building is going on in this of the city to permit i i ing tradesmen to work even for a partial week.

Of more than a dozen building tradesmen questioned, not one could say that during the past few months he has had sufficient work to keep him busy even on part time. FIVE HUNDRED-COIN "BANKERS" AT SHOW In some sections of the city where motives for the tie-up in the building trades were sought, unions' fights against capital and their fight to keep the wage standard at its present' level held the effervescent thought among the minds of the workers. They declared that until such time as things have reached the height of their adjustment, labor has been recognized as working for the demands set by the union officials, and that materials reach a level within the bounds of the building pocketbook, there will be very little building done on the south side or any other part of the city. In the meantime the suffering tenant will once more have to throw down the gauntlet in his fight with the relentless landlord who during this spring has in many cases raised the rents, knowing he had a large number of prospects to fill any vacancy created by the disgruntled tenant, who has the alternative of keeping his flat at the high price demanded or of erecting an improvised abode to enable him to Five hundred "bankers" on the south side will be the guests of honor at a vaudeville and fashion show at the Englewood Masonic temple, 6730 Wentworth Friday evening. Each "banker" is invited with the request that his or her coin bank be turned.in, rilled, for the benefit of the Building fund of Oakhaven Old Peoples home.

It is hoped to realize more than $3,000 in this way for the SCO.OOO fund. A one act play will be presented by the Chicago Dramatic society of which Mrs. Elmer Etilass is president.
