 Metropolitan Chicago Ideal 
 For Educational Tours 
 
 IN THE Chicago metropolitan area 
 you may see practically every prod- 
 uct of general use manufactured under 
 ideal conditions in model industrial 
 plants. So great is the present-day 
 interest in how things are made that 
 many of the great plants of the region 
 have invited public inspection of their 
 properties — have even furnished thor- 
 oughly informed guides to explain the 
 various interesting processes to visitors. 
 
 year 'round recreation, metropolitan 
 Chicago also is the industrial hub of 
 the nation. Plants of all sizes and 
 products are a part of this great work- 
 shop. 
 
 Your household furniture, table- 
 ware, glassware, food products, cloth- 
 ing, the cars in which you ride, the 
 steel beams supporting your buildings, 
 the bricks of your home — in fact 
 nearly everything that effects your 
 
 General exterior view of the generating station of the Public Service Company of 
 Northern Illinois, at Waukegan, III., on the North Shore Line. Housing three turbo- 
 generator units with a total capacity of 110,000 kilowatts, this station supplies electrical 
 energy for an extensive territory in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. It is a 
 point of interest for engineering students on educational tours. 
 
 Thousands of persons annually 
 compose college, high school, club and 
 other groups making educational tours 
 of these great industrial centers. Trips 
 of this nature are considered of such 
 educational value that a number of 
 schools provide regular tours as a part 
 of their course of study. 
 
 The Chicago metropolitan area has 
 been called the most diversified region 
 in the world. Although the center of 
 
 daily life finds form in Chicago's in- 
 dustries. 
 
 In the different plants you may see 
 expert glass blowers at work — masses 
 of molten metal poured from roaring 
 blast furnaces — white-hot steel molded 
 into heavy rails or light wire products

 Autumnal Glories of Fox Valley 
 
 Seen on Pan Handle Circle 'Tour 
 
 IT WAS at an afternoon tea. The 
 discussion led to autumn, that peri- 
 od of the year when Dame Nature 
 changes her dress to brilliant hues of 
 crimson and yellow and bids all lov- 
 ers of the great outdoors to view her 
 resplendent and fiery glory. 
 
 "I love the green beauties of sum- 
 mer." said Mrs. Biddle-Smyth. "but 
 nature's autumnal glories are the most 
 charming of all the year to me." 
 
 "You are right, my dear," replied 
 Mrs. O'Dell. "and I never fail at least 
 once every fall to take a tour through 
 the glorious Fox River Valley. It is 
 a most enchanting trip." 
 
 The remarkable thing is that the entire 
 trip costs you only $2.75. 
 
 "After leaving Chicago you pass 
 through Elmhurst, named for the 
 wealth of elm trees that overhang its 
 streets. The world's largest polo club 
 is located there. Then there is Villa 
 Park, one of Chicago's fastest growing 
 suburbs, and Lombard — you know 
 Lombard is the home of the world's 
 largest collection of lilacs, there being 
 over 300 varieties! 
 
 "You next pass Glen Oak Country 
 Club — it must be charming out there 
 now — and enter Glen Ellyn," contin-

 "That sounds interesting." said

 "Well, to begin with," said Mrs.

 course that can't be excelled for spotti-

 where you see the famous old Dun- 
 ham stock farm, with its residence 
 patterned after an old English castle. 
 Soon you see the Fox River sparkling 
 in the sunlight and arrive at Elgin, 
 home of the world's largest watch 
 factory. At Elgin you change to 
 motor coaches or cars, whichever you 
 prefer, for the trip to Aurora. 
 
 "On the trip to Aurora you follow 
 the Fox River all the way through a 
 most delightful countryside, with hills 
 and valleys, beautiful woodlands, is- 
 lands and interesting rock formations. 
 And by all means you should make 
 the side trip to Mooseheart, famous 
 'child city' of the Loyal Order of 
 Moose, near Aurora — I'll never forget 
 the wonderful baby village and the 
 beauties of Moose Lake and the Fox 
 River there! Aurora is called the city 
 of homes. 
 
 "Returning to Chicago, you cross 
 the DuPage River at Warrcnville, 
 where you see beautiful forest pre- 
 serves and the telephone company's 
 country home for women employes. 
 And I forgot to tell you that, on the 
 trip from Elgin to Aurora, you pass 
 through three most interesting com- 
 munities — St. Charles, Geneva and 
 
 Batavia. But I've mentioned only a 
 few of the many delightful features 
 of this trip. If you want com- 
 plete information, stop at the Outing 
 and Recreation Bureau, 72 West 
 Adams Street, Chicago, and ask for 
 one of the special folders describing 
 the Pan Handle Circle Tour." 
 
 "I'm certainly glad you told me 
 about it," replied her enthused listen- 
 er, "and I'm going to get some of the 
 girls to take the trip with me this 
 week."

 South Bend, Indiana, Offers 
 Visitor Many Rare Treats 
 
 SOMEWHERE under the trees of 
 South Bend, Indiana, Father James 
 Marquette the Jesuit walked two cen- 
 turies and a half ago. The prints of 
 his sandaled feet vanished probably 
 almost as he passed, and only the tra- 
 dition remains. Others came to this 
 curve in the St. Joseph River — La 
 Salle, Navarre, Coquillard, Taylor. 
 They broke trails that later became 
 wheel tracks as the pioneer wagons 
 and railroads arrived. Now they are 
 streets and wide avenues, with homes 
 
 country, as well as on Cartier Field 
 in South Bend. 
 
 Consider the matter of wheel tracks. 
 Here is the immense Studebaker plant, 
 one of the most modern automobile 
 factories in the world. Wheel tracks 
 lead out from it to all parts of the 
 globe. One of South Bend's estab- 
 lished activities is playing host to stu- 
 dents and other visitors who come here 
 each month to go through the Stude- 
 baker plant, the South Bend watch 
 factory, the Oliver plow works, the 
 
 Aerial view of Notre Dame University, made famous in football annals by the 
 "Four Horsemen" and other stellar gridiron performers turned out by Knute Rockne. 
 This is one of the many interesting places to visit in South Bend, Ind., reached quickly 
 and conveniently by the South Shore Line. 
 
 and institutions lining them on both 
 sides. 
 
 South Bend, it might be said, is a 
 city of footprints, of wheel tracks and 
 steel tracks. If you follow autumn 
 sports, you know about the foot- 
 prints — cleated ones — of the "Four 
 Horsemen" of Notre Dame and their 
 1927 successors among Knute. 
 Rockne's "Fighting Irish." You can 
 find their cleat marks all over some of 
 the best football reputations in the 
 
 Johnson outboard motor concern, the 
 lathe factories and many more big in- 
 dustrial show places. 
 
 Two of the city's most pleasant 
 parks have grown out of the Stude- 
 baker connection, namely Studebaker 
 Park and Erskine Park. The latter 
 covers 120 acres of smooth meadow 
 and rolling forest land. In all there 
 are more than 500 acres of beautifully 
 landscaped park lands in South Bend 
 — and not a "Keep Off the Grass"

 Both Notre Dame University and 
 St. Mary's College, on the north and 
 northwest edges of the city respective- 
 ly, are Meccas for those who enjoy the 
 arts. The campus of each institution 
 is an intimate reminder of cloistered 
 Old World schools, and at Notre 
 Dame are a celebrated art gallery, 
 museum and library. You can obtain 
 guides at either school by applying at 
 the executive offices., 
 
 For a city of something over 100,- 
 000 population South Bend offers the 
 visitor as much to see and do within 
 a short time as any place of its size in 
 the country. Among other places of 
 unusual interest one may visit Pierre 
 Navarre's cabin, first dwelling of the 
 city; Vice-President Schuyler Colfax's 
 homesite and grave: the last resting 
 places of President McKinlcy's grand- 
 parents: the Northern Indiana Histor- 
 ical Society museum: the LaSalle land- 
 ing, where the explorer stepped from 
 his canoe one day in 1679; several 
 handsome theatres, and the public 
 library. 
 
 With high-speed electrically-oper- 
 ated trains of the South Shore Line 
 furnishing frequent service to an'd 
 from the Chicago Loop, you can visit 
 South Bend and the beautiful St. 
 Joseph Valley easily in a day. And 
 there are plenty of attractions to make 
 a much longer stay highly enjoyable.

 Mineral Baths Make Twin Cities 
 
 Of Michigan Great Health Resorts 
 
 SINCE THE discovery of the sul- 
 pho-saline springs at St. Joseph 
 and Benton Harbor, Michigan, these 
 two cities have rapidly become known 
 as a Mecca towards which sufferers 
 from various physical disorders wend 
 their way for mineral water baths. 
 
 The cities long have been famous as 
 summer resorts because of their beauty 
 and other natural advantages. They 
 are visited by thousands of persons 
 from all parts of the country every 
 year, not only during the summer 
 months but in all seasons. 
 
 within walking distance of the leading 
 hotels in either city, and the round 
 trip rate is only five dollars. 
 
 The cures obtained through taking 
 these baths are unique in many in- 
 stances. Persons are brought to the 
 hotels on stretchers or in wheel chairs, 
 or leaning on crutches or canes, and 
 are able to leave in a short time either 
 entirely cured or greatly improved in 
 health. 
 
 The mineral water is pumped from 
 wells at a depth of 800 feet into 
 tanks, which are connected by a sys- 
 
 Birdseye view of business district of Benton Harbor, one of the twin cities of 
 Michigan made famous by their curative mineral baths. Both Benton Harbor and 
 St. Joseph also are popular outing and recreational spots the year around. Shore Line 
 motor coaches take you direct to these cities from the Chicago Loop. 
 
 For the tired business man or the 
 nervous housewife a course of these 
 baths also will work wonders in im- 
 proving any general run-down condi- 
 tion. The cities are so situated within 
 a short distance of Chicago that one 
 can easily enjoy the beneficial results 
 of the mineral baths quite frequently. 
 Shore Line motor coaches take you 
 
 tern of pipes with the boilers so that 
 the water can be heated to any desired 
 temperature. The main curative in- 
 gredients are chlorides of sodium and 
 calcium and sulphurated hydrogen gas. 
 The baths are administered in varied 
 strength and temperature, according to 
 the nature of the case and the condi- 
 tion of the patient.

 Jean Klock Park, skirting Lake Michigan at St. Joseph and Benton Harbor, Michi-

 beaches. Here one can enjoy hiking or riding in the open air at any season of the year. 
 
 Pleasant and attractive surroundings 
 are just as essential for one undergoing 
 treatment for or recuperating from 
 any ailment as is the proper treat- 
 ment. No more delightful environ- 
 ment could be found than that offered 
 by Benton Harbor and St. Joseph, 
 the twin cities of Michigan. Situated 
 close to the shore of Lake Michigan, 
 these communities are favored with 
 an invigorating climate throughout 
 the year. 
 
 The business centers of the twin 
 cities are but a mile apart, and between 
 them courses the placid St. Joseph 
 River, along the banks of which are 
 many scenic spots. Skirting the shore 
 of the lake is beautiful Jean Klock 
 Park, with its wide boulevard along 
 which delightful drives or hikes may 
 be taken in the bracing lake breezes. 
 In case one is able and desires to enjoy 
 recreational activities, there are plenty 
 of seasonable attractions. 
 
 If you have that tired, worn-out 
 feeling, just board one of the "Big 
 Yellow Coaches" of the Shore Line 
 and run up to either St. Joseph or 
 Benton Harbor for a week-end. Enjoy 
 two or three mineral baths, take a 
 long hike or ride through the woods 
 on the lake shore, get a good night's 
 sleep — and you will return home for 
 another week of business routine ready 
 to "lick the world"! 
 
 Notre Dame-Southern California 
 In Grid Battle Here November 26 
 
 Although the football season is 
 nearly over, probably the feature at- 
 traction of Chicago's pigskin year is 
 scheduled for Soldier Field, Grant 
 Park, on November 26, when the 
 University of Southern California 
 meets Notre Dame. 
 
 The big game between- these repre- 
 sentative collegiate teams of the Pacific 
 Coast and the Middle West will cli- 
 max the 1927 season and Chicago will 
 be the mecca for thousands of ardent 
 football enthusiasts from all over the 
 country. 
 
 The most convenient way to reach 
 Soldier Field from any point in Chi- 
 cago is to take the Rapid Transit 
 (elevated) Lines to the Roosevelt 
 Road station, walk east across Michi- 
 gan Avenue into Grant Park and then 
 south to the stadium. 
 
 Special service from South Bend, 
 Ind., home of the "Fighting Irish," 
 and other points served will be fur- 
 nished by the South Shore Line, which 
 also will bring the Notre Dame squad 
 to Chicago. South Shore Line trains

 Milwaukee, Wisconsin Metropolis, 
 
 Is Center of Varied Attractions 
 
 BEAUTIFULLY situated on the 
 shore of Lake Michigan — only 
 two hours from the heart of Chicago 
 by the North 
 Shore Line — lies 
 Milwaukee, me- 
 tropolis of Wis- 
 consin and one of 
 the leading cities 
 of the middle 
 west. Originally 
 known as Mahn- 
 auau-kie, meaning 
 "good lands," la- 
 ter as Melwarck 
 and Milwacky and 
 finally Milwaukee, 
 this great city has 
 rapidly grown 
 One of the many during recent dec- 
 attractions at the Mil- 
 waukee 21oo — a pair

 Less than four generations ago the 
 Indian held undisputed possession of 
 what is today one of the great trading 
 marts of the world — and at the same 
 
 ades until it now 
 a population 
 
 time a gateway to vacationland. Here 
 the Pottawatomies, Winnebagoes, 
 Chippewas, Menominees and other 
 tribes pitched their camps, hunted wild 
 game in the surrounding forests and 
 angled for trout in the inland lakes 
 of the region. 
 
 For scenic beauty the Milwaukee of 
 today has few equals among the larger 
 cities. Its splendid bay on Lake Mich- 
 igan has been compared with the Bay 
 of Naples; its public parks and play- 
 grounds rank with the best anywhere, 
 and its Washington Park Zoo is one 
 of the finest in the United States. The 
 Zoo has the distinction of being one 
 of the few places where wild animals 
 are successfully bred in captivity. Ben- 
 gal, Siberian, African and Black tigers 
 are reared in the Zoo Garden — also 
 Indian and Barbary lions, American 
 pumas and spotted hyenas. 
 
 Three large buildings, open to the 
 public at all times through the day, 
 contain many specimens as fine as can 
 be found anywhere in captivity. An 
 unique way of confining wild animals 
 is seen in Monkey Island, a large 
 
 Fifth Street and Grand Avenue, looking east, one of the busy downtown sections 
 of Milwaukee, the "Cream City" of Wisconsin. High-speed electrically-operated North 
 Shore Line trains give frequent service between the Chicago Loop and the heart of the

 21 to 26, inclusive, when interesting 
 exhibits by foreign countries and state, 
 municipal and civic organizations will 
 be displayed at the Hotel Sherman. 
 In addition to the exhibits of scenic 
 settings in beauty spots all over the 
 world, the Travel Show attractions 
 will include travel motion pictures of 
 many lands and lectures by famous ex- 
 plorers, adventurers and authors. 
 
 The Hotel Sherman is located at the 
 corner of Randolph and Clark streets, 
 in the Chicago Loop, one block south 
 of the Rapid Transit Lines station at 
 Clark and Lake streets. A general 
 admission charge of 50 cents will be 
 made at the Travel Show. 
 
 Colored Photos Portray Beauties 
 
 Of Duneland During All Seasons 
 
 An exhibit of water-colored photo- 
 graphs on display during October in 
 the window of the Outing and Recre- 
 ation Bureau at 72 West Adams 
 Street aroused considerable interest in 
 the always beautiful Dunes country of 
 northern Indiana. 
 
 Most of the pictures were taken in 
 and around the 2,000-acre Indiana 
 State Park at Tremont and were col- 
 ored by W. H. Baker, a Downers 
 Grove, 111., art photographer. The 
 scenes, showing the beauties of the 
 region during different seasons of the 
 year, prove that Duneland is just as 
 inviting in the fall and winter months 
 as it is in spring and summer. You 
 can reach the Dunes quickly and con- 
 veniently by the South Shore Line. 
 
 Conventions in Chicago Assisted

 facilities made available by the Outing 
 and Recreation Bureau. Two of the 
 principal conventions served recently 
 were the American Gas Association 
 meeting and the Direct Mail Advertis- 
 ing Association annual gathering, both 
 of which were held at the Stevens 
 Hotel. 
 
 Through advance arrangement with 
 the Bureau, 72 West Adams Street, 
 information pertaining to the Chicago 
 Metropolitan Area will be furnished 
 free of charge to conventions in and
