CHICAGO IN BUILDING . PARKWAY IN LAKE Adds Missing Link in Forty Mile Drive Along Lake Michigan Banks. Chicago, Aug. 1.?Blocked from ; the lake along more than half its south side, Chicago has started work to jump the intervening railroad tracks by building a five-anile parkway out in the lake. This is to run from 12th street to .,55th street, connecting downtown lake front improvement with Jackson Park, and adding the missing link of J a 40-anile drive running along or within stone's throw of Lake Michigan. , y- A start is being made this summer j on the initial fill-in on the present | shore line and not a necessary break- j water. It is hoped to complete the jP ' first part of the shore fill before the ' yeair runs out. This will eventually add* a strip of land about GOO feet I' wide and five miles long beyond the K railroad tracks. The made land will be converted into a park. . The much larger task of construction of a long, narrow park in the ! waters of the late may De starred i next spring. It will be built about 1,800 feet from the present shore line. Its east side will give Chicagoans the uninterrupted view of the j laike on the south that they have long j wished for* Its side toward the cityi1 will enclose a long lagoon furnishing! an admirable course for regattas. It | will be 600 feet wide. , At intervals along the outer shore line bathing beaches will be built, with the purest water obtainable, ever free from any other shore wash. { . The cost of the entire project is ! estimated at around $40,000,000. Wnnlr ia hpinsr started under an ^ | initial $8,000,000 bond issue already i1 B'--: vptfed. . , j: :; ?; ; i ? 1 \ luThe undertaking is part of the Chicago Plan, drawn up in?&08 and i promoted since then by the Chicago Plan Commission, which is supported by municipal appropriation. The opportunity Lake Michigan & '. has gvea Chicago to grow in beauty fa appreciated more this year than ^ ever before. At the time of the World's Fair here in 1893, the lake f. came right up to the railroad tracks |. vanning across the downtown face of the city. Since then the waters have : . been pushed bade there by filling in | unit a great public park has been jp- seated downtown, named Grant p' Park, after one of IHinois's most fa-' teoas sons. 1 A miniature Muff of made land ' ?,:. gives the foundation and setting for 5 ?r the 14.000.000 Field 'Museum butfd- s ing opened this spring on one corn- < er of this park.

The newly-appointed pastor of a :olored church announced that the 3ubject of his first sermon would be !,Am they a hell, or am they not? [ shall prove they am." The church , was packed as the new parson arose ;o prove his assertions. a "Bredderen," he said, "de Lord nade de world round like a ball." v "Amen," cried the congregation. g 'And de Lord made de world so it arnnlH en rftiind an' round." "Amen." I . was the response. "And de Lord made * rwo axles for de world to go round on , c ind fye put one akle at de Noth Pole and one axle at de Souf Pole." "A- ^ men," agreed the congregation. "An _ ie Lord put a lot of oil and axle ^ jrease in the center uf de world so ^ is to keep de axles well greased an* ^ oiled." "Amen," said the congregation. ''An' a lot uf sinners dig wells in Pennsylvania and steal de Lord's 0 >11 and grease.

The secret organization has code names for known purveyors of the drug and a variety of code names for the drug itself. It is feared that it includes in its membership a large number of police agents whose duty is to suppress the traffic, and also of customs ocffiials who make it easy to bring cocaine into the country. The increase in the number of "coke" users has become so great that the French Academy of Medicine is calling for the enactment of dras tic laws to curb the evil. The academy is being supported by a number jf newspapers in its demand that [ong'terms of imprisonment be melted out to cocaine sellers and users instead of fines, which often do not ixceed $10. One big cafe, a stone's throw from the Paris Opera, i4 one of the jiggest centers of cocaine traffic. VIost of, the drug that reached Paris :omes in from Germany. It is* aleged that French and American soldiers from the armies of occupa;ion bring in the largest share. They nake 1500 per cent on their investnent and easily escape discovery jecause they wear the uniform. Their (upplies fare turned over to a regu-, ar "cocaine" syndicate, whose agents i father in the big cafe in the heart of he city to receive their shares of 'coke" to be peddled all over Paris. Half a dozen demimondes, who ire well known to the syndicate, oprate in this one cafe alone. They are veil known to the regular drug users ind they know their clientele. A fa-anger who applies to one of them 'or a "bouquet of flowers" a name1 ommonly applied to the white pow-' ler by jts victims, is indignantly turn-' id down. A regular user has no dif-J iculty at all. His purchase is quickly lipped to him, to be concealed in a >urse or spectacle case. Girl "anif? er8M generally carry their packet^ in he tbps of^their stockings. The rpatfliirjints aiiH flan'i>inir Vinlln if Montmartre, filled nightly with American tourists, are active ceners of operations for "coke" agents ind so are the night markets of 'Hailles," where refreshments openng ar 4 o'clock in the morning #tch the "all-nighters" who drift lown from Montmartre. There is carcely a njght in Montmartre that loes not see a girl dru& victim whirling in an excited dance, audlenly*fall unconscious to the' floor, n the Bal Tabarin one night a girl vho had won some fame on the tage but had become a victim of he '"coke" 'habit, toppled over dead. That a considerable number of Imerickns com'ng to France indulge n cocaine, whether because they vere previously drug victims or be;ause they wanted "the experience," here is no doubt. The vast majority )f them are women. On one recent light two American women, one of hem a former actress, loudly derianded cocaine of a waiter in one of ;he most fashionable Paris restaurants. When they were refused they chartered a taxi and started for VIontmartre. The cocaine habit has spread rapidly throughout provincial towns of France since# the war. At Nice Deaurille and other' resorts patroniied largely by the idle rich of all nations, the "coke salesmen" find a good trade. Marseilles, with a large population of foreigners, particularly from the Near East, is another large drug center. Rub-My-Tiam kill* pain.

CHILDREN PROVE CURB TO THE DIVORCE EVIL . London, July 10.?In more than 40 per cent of the divorce suits heard during 1919 there were no children of the manriage. Husbands are more faithful than wives. , ; >.s si.<The first five yeairs of married life are the easiest. These striking facts are gleaned from a collection of official statistics issued as a white paper by the home office yesterday.

The number of divorce suits, however, rose from 2689 n 1918 to 6768 in 1919, an increase in one year of 114 per cent. The total for 1919 was three and a half times higher than that of 1918. * The most sensational comparison made in the accompanying report is 1 that in which the divorce petitions are classified, as follows: Petition by husbands 4132' , / / W jfUM WTij Le srfection i ssful for ( ent New Perfection.
