...cities grow, however, cities awaken. Chicago has taken its shore lines in hand, built new land with sandsuckers and made a new outer-driveway to the south as well as a made-land drive skirting Lincoln Park on the lakeside and a riverside boulevard (Wacker Drive) around scow-ridden reaches of the Chicago River.

...their young before the gaze of King Albert and Queen Elizabeth. The films were taken in the Belgian Congo, where Dr. Derscheid and Mrs. Akeley have been laboring to complete a suitable memorial to her late husband, Afric explorer Carl Akeley.
