Chicago to Have Naval Memorial on Lake Front The design' for the Naval memoriaf on Chicago's lake front has been com'pleted by Hubert Burnham, the celebrated architect. This memorial wilt be presented to the city of Chicagc on Navy Day, October 27, 1928, and will be placed at the land end of the Municipal pier, which, on that day, will have its name officially changed to Navy Pier. As planned, the memorial will consist of a stone structure about 30 feet square at its hase, and some 40 feet in height. This will be surmounted by statuary figures symbolic of the enlisted men of the Navy and the Marine corps. Within the structure will be a room for the naval relics, trophies and souvenirs of the Ninth Naval district of which Chticago is the huh. Estimated cost of the memorial, including an endowment for its perpetual maintenance, is $200,000. This fund is now being raised by an organization of Navy men and Marines headed by Capt. George C. Isbester, U. S. N. R. The Naval memorial will he a fitting companion to the Army memorial of Soldiers Field, and will be a visible e~ pression of appreciation of the Great Lakes region's contribution of men to the nation's first line of defense. Delivery Horses No · Longer Practical So Tribune Sells Them Because ·of the growing need of speed, the Chicago Tribune ha.s sold its last delivery. horses used m the downtown streets. "It was deemed no longer safe to use them because of the crush of traffic," said a sales report. Detroit automobile men noted with interest the passing of the last horse from the once great · s tables of the Chicago newspaper. And ~oward Sneathen, director of commerctal car and truck sales for Dodge Brothers, Inc. got down a scrap bQ..ok and tur~ed to a list of "Don'ts" given in America's first automotive magazine of August 1, 1896, less than a year after the publication began. "Don't let your engine puff in pas"ing frightened horses," said the 32year-old suggestion. "Shut off the admission of gas and they will immediately stop their prancing and dart past, giving you a chance to let in the gas in time to prevent your engine from coming to a .stop. "Don't use a gong on your automobile. People hearing -them will take them for trollev cars. A vibratin'! hell should be used." Mr.· Sneathen holds that the 1896 horses were well justified in their di strust of the high wheeled puffing motor monsters of that now distant day. "Of course there are 3till plenty of horses about," he said. "There are really far more in service than people suppose. But every day their numbers are decreasing for commercial purposes."
