Chicago Mans Novel Invention

There has long been a demand for
some arrangement by which the
amount of material remaining in a
bolt of ribbon or cloth can be ascer-
tanned at a glance. AS a means OF
doing this the suggestion was made
that a tape be wound up with the rib
bon. the tape being marked with
inches, feet and yards, but when this
was tried II was found that there
was serious discrepancy in the re-
spective length Of the two pieces.
This difficulty has now been overcome

When Doctors Were Slaves

Romans of means had physicians
in their own houses These men were
slaves, for, odd as 1t seems, many
Roman slaves were accomplished in
literature, art and science. Al one
time the selling price Of slave
doctor was about the equivalent OF
$500 in our money.
After the time of Julius Caesar,
who encouraged physicians, the art
began to "lift its head" in Rome, and
later men of character and position,
though generally foreigners, entered
the profession, Some Of them accum-
ulated large fortunes, and one made
the equivalent of at least 100000 in
a few years.

MANY HOUSES CONSTRUCTED


Contractors Refuse Contracts Unless
Several Buildings Cam BE Put Up

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. a.
The building boom has struck here in
full force So much work has been
planned cor the town that the contrac-
tors are refusing to erect building s
unless several others are to be put up
in the same neighborhood. which al
lows them to work on all of them at
the same time.
Most Of the buildings now going UP
are coy little houses owned by people
who intend to make South San Fran
cisco their permanent home.
The Land and Improvement Company
has been building houses In batohes
Of from ten to fifteen at a time. all of
which were rented long before COM
pleted. The company's contractor
started a new series of ten houses
about week ago. and long before the
foundations were completed the entire
lot were rented.
The demand for houses hero Is due
to the influx of persons who are either
directly connected with some of the
new factories or who are locating here
with the expectation of securing en-
ployment after the great manufacture
ing plants are operating. Besides
dwellings. many business houses are IN
course Of construction and newcomers
are seeking locations here.

There is not more interesting hg-
ure on the American stage today than
Rose Eytinge, who is in the cast of I'm
the Bishops Carriage" at the Colonial
| Theater. In the ixty-eighth year of
her existence she is as spry many
actresses half her age and takes just
as much interest in her work. Indeed,
the natural earnestness with which she
portrays the character of Mrs. Lati-
mer in The Carriage enhances in no
small degree the effectiveness of that
excellent scene in the first act. And
her remarkable knowledge OF stage
technique-her appreciation of the
value of the little things in acting that
make or mar a parts probably re-
sponsible to some extent for the COM
pleteness of detail that marks the work
of all the players now associated with
her.
When but a very young woman Miss
Eytinge was successful star, and fof
several seasons appeared the lead
ing support Of Edwin Booth. When at
the zenith of her professional triumph
she retired TO become the wife of a
gentleman who soon afterward was
appointed this country's Consul General
in Egypt, and she accompanied him to
his post of duty and remained there
several years. Since her return to the
stage she has devoted much time to
teaching as welr as practicing her art.
and some of her former pupils are
among the prominent actors and
actresses on the American stage.
