SUBTERRANEAN AGE COMING
Underground Theaters and Factories
Foreeasted by Chicago
Engineer
By Associated Press.


CHICAGO, June 5.-A subterranean
age when theaters will be built under
ground and the busy hum of factories
will resound far beneath the sidewalk
was forecasted by Engineer John M.
Even in an address before the Mems
club of st. Peters Episcopal church.
Mr.. Ewen's subject was Erecting a
Chicago Skyscraper." But while he
pointed out that the erection of build
ings fifty stories high is perfectly feast
bile, he said it is also probable that in
the future more attention will be paid
to digging habitable holes beneath the
street level.
Mr. Even declared that the recent
earthquakes proved the superiority of
modern fireproof steel construction
over all other methods of building. He
advocated the use of wire glass with
metal frame and sash in place of plate
glass and wooden frame and sash as a
measure of fire protection.

The causes of our failure in the
Orient are quite apparent to any one
who will take the trouble to visit these
countries and study the requirements
OF the market as created by the habits
of the consuming population.
The Oriental people form a distinct
section of the commercial world, a sec
ton IN which the commercial lines are
as distinctly marked as those which sen
arate the great geographical divisions
of the world
The daily customs of life among the
Orientals differ in such an extrenoe
degree from those of the people Of the
Oecident that the merchandise manu-
featured for use in Europe or America

Of life. The meaning of this is that
those who successfully offer goods to
the Oriental people obtain this success
by offering articles made in form ia
