Travelling Hutchisons Like
Big, Busy, Bustling Chicago
By MRS. JAMES HUTCHISON, JR.
Lake Shore Drive
The Lake Shore Drive is another
section which is outstanding. Every
Chicagoan points with pride to the
eight lane highway and lovely green
lawns which have been built on
land reclaimed from the lake. The
highway is remarkable in itself, for
the lanes are divided into twos by
an hydraulic - electric apparatus
which can move small sections of
the road up or down to divide the
highway for specific purposes. For
instance, when most of the traffic
is coming in in the morning, they
put up a divider to allow 6 lanes
of ingoing traffic and 2 lanes of
outgoing. In the evening, that pro-
cess is reversed. During the day, it
is usually divided equally. One sees
a cross section of humanity bathing
in the lake along this drive.
There are over 300 parks in Chi-
cago, and it certainly looks as
though the people get the best they
can from them. We were impressed
by the third largest park, Washing-
ton ‘Park, which used to be Wash-
ington Race Track until Chicago got
religious in the 1900's. Now 16 ball
games can be played simultaneously
and not interfere with each other.
The Carverton, Orange and Mt.
Zion ball clubs could certainly use a
few sections of this park trans-
planted back there!
Visit Ghetto
Having been informed that Sun-
day morning was the best time to
see it, we hunted around at that
time for the Ghetto—which is a
Jewish, Italian, Negro section where
they do business right out on the
street using old boxes, tables, curb
stones, or the street itself as a place
*» to display their wares. You can find
anything from hair brushes to bed-
room suites, and the most unusual
methods of salesmanship demon-
strated. Fifty per cent of the people
are salesmen, snake charmers, or
members of the street corner bands.
The other 50 per cent are tourists
bumping and pushing each other,
and having a wonderful time. As
you leave, you feel to make sure
you still have all your belongings,
but you never forget the Ghetto.
We saw many other places of in-
terest in Chicago: The Elks National
Memorial Building which has a
rotunda nearly 100 feet high, 25
kinds of marble, statues depicting
the symbols of the Order of Elks,
the two buildings to survive the
Chicago fire—which incidentally
was the origin of the saying “I
Will” in connection with the city
which refused to remain ashes.
Jewish Temple
A Jewish temple with retractable
walls, (at least assures Rabbi of
a full house) the Museum of Science
and Industry which Chicago retain-
World's
Fair, and which the late Robert
Ripley estimated it would take 33
days, 9 hours a day to go through
and adequately study; but first and
foremost we saw the people. It was
in Chicago that we first noticed
young - couples looking at us with
peculiar smiles—every couple prac-
tically the same. They were the
honeymooners — and the smiles
said, “You, too?” We just smiled
back, and reserved the smug look
of the one-year weds until after
they had passed. This looking like
honeymooners is all right, though.
People always want things extra-
nice for you and they excuse your
blunders much more readily. Who
are we to complain?
Leaving Chicago, a city worth
going to see even if you go no far-
ther, we prepared ourselves for
days of travel. We found ourselves
going through beautiful Iowa corn
fields. In Sioux City we were sur-
prised not to see Sue around any-
where, but the little boys were out
in full force—with their bicycles all
decorated in bright crepe paper. We
located them at the railroad station
where they were anxiously await-
ing the arrival of a 3-day Rodeo.
We stopped to look in on an Auc-
tion house in Iowa. It was a cattle
auction, carried on evenings, but
the cattle, horses and ponies were
already in stalls, and there were
several men there looking them
over. Two very pleasant gentlemen
took us all around and explained
the procedure of weighing, buying
by head or lot, and methods of bid-
ding. They were exceptionally in-
terested in our tomato auctions at
home.
Corn Palace
Traveling up into South Dakota
we spent a night in Mitchell which
features the only Corn Palace in the
world. This building is actually cov-
ered inside and outside with corn
cob rows which by means of diff-
erences in color, and skilled crafts-
manship create beautiful designs
and pictures. It takes 2 to 3,000
bushels of sweet corn of varied
colors, and $10,000 to change these.
The pictures inside are changed
every two years, but the outside
walls must be done every year. This
is a community project, and one of
which they are extremely proud.
To me, it was not only beautiful
in design and degree of perfection,
but it also symbolized what can be
done by cooperation.
While we were waiting for a tire
to be patched in Chamberlain, South
Dakota, I ‘took advantage of the
time available to meet some people.
One old timer was selling floating
rocks which he had mined in the
caves of the Badlands (which we
traveled through later that day.)
He had a chuck wagon which he
showed me all through. We think
our modern trailers are pretty un-
ique, but I must admit they are
merely descendants of the good old
food wagons of gold mining days.
He was a most interesting person
to talk with—gave one the true
western atmosphere.
Practically from the time we left
Chicago, we had been reading signs
encouraging us to go to Wall Drug
Store, in Wall, South Dakota where
it was said they had a cowboy or-
chestra, totem pole, buffalo, bears,
bucking bronco, souvenirs, post
cards, and incidentally, drugs. After
winding through the picturesque
Badlands—considered the Grand
Canyon of South Dakota, we event-
ually found ourselves in Wall. The
bears, buffalo, and bucking bronc
were all mounted. The cowboys
were store dummies, again, and
moved mechanically. Even the dog
scratched his fleas! The place was
full of local color mixed with tour-
ists. The trouble was—you couldn't
tell who was which! We enjoyed the
place immensely.
Mt. Rushmore
After traversing more South Da-
kota hills, we reached Rapid City.
That night we were able to drive
up to see Mt. Rushmore, where the
heads of Washington, Jefferson, T.
Roosevelt, and Lincoln are carved.
Unfortunately, the much-publi-
cized lights which were put up this
year, were out of order, so we saw
the scene with the aid of another
traveler's spot light. We thought
we were disappointed until we dis-
covered that the man was from Vir-
ginia and his wife was a descendant
of Lincoln's. They had come all the
