New KIND Of Tape Measure.

Tape measures are SO useful and In
dispensable to the dressmaker in their
present form that it would seem as If
It were impossible to improve on their
construction. Yet this has been very
easily accomplished in a tape meas

man. A short piece OF flexible,

end is thus made self-supporting. The

!.AD VARYING ENDS
-csN GREAT NATIONS or THE
PAST HAVE DIED.
Mighty Rome Went Down Fighting
Poland Divided by Its Three Pow
erful eighbors-others Passed
Without a Struggle.


Most countries which have died have
gone down fighting The Roman empire
perished like that.
The empire of the west became so
weak at last that it could make no
stand against its enemies Rome was
sacked BY the barbarians, and eventu-
ally became, not the capital of vast
empire. but the city Of the popes, over
which the pontiffs reigned as kings
1 Finally, the city was taken without
real fight by the soldiers OF the king
+, of Italy.
The empire of the east had its capi
tai at Constantinople For centuries it
was the greatest power in the world
But it became honeycombed with vice
and enervated with pride and luxury.
Also it grew old and weak.
Then the Turks made a tigerish
spring on Constantinople and took it
by storm. The last of the Greek em-
perors died sword in hand, and his de-
scendants are living In England to-day
in very humble situations.
Egypt, once so powerful and famous
under the Pharaohs. was conquered by
Rome. and was afterward swamped by
the Moslems.
The great moguls used to reign in
India In the days of Queen Elizabeth
the moughul-or emperor Of Delhi, as
he was sometimes called-was so pow
erful that he thought it a vast conces-
sion on his part to receive an en-
bassy from the maiden queen.
But as time went on the great ra-
jahs. Or tributary kings, rebelled
against the moghuls India was rent
asunder by the wars between rival ra-
iahs This gave the Europeans a
chance.
France at first held the upper hand,
and nearly conquered the land But
then England drove France back, and
seized the empire OF The great moghuls
for herself. The heir of the moghuls
still enjoys a pension given by the
British government.
Poland used to occupy big place on
the map of Europe At one time 1t
was much larger and stronger than
Russia.
But Poland perished through her
own faults and follies. The mass of
the common people were slaves in all
but name. Hence the mobiles and the
people never stood together in times Of
danger or disaster
Poland was a big country-but 1t
was divided against itself; and Russia,
Prussia and Austria combined were
more powerful They all three joined
hands and each took large share Of

PLANS READY
FOR BUILDING
BIDS TO BE CALLED FOR TO
ERECT FEDERAL BACTERIOLo-
-GICAL LABORATORY AT KALIHI

The plans and specifications for the
new building, which will be erected
by the Territory buI occupied by the
Federal bacteriologists investigating
leprosy, at the Kalihi Receiving Sta
ton have been completed and tend
ers will be called for within few
days. The Federal appropriation of
$50 900 yearly can be used for the pur-
chase of apparatus and supplies of
all kinds that are necessary, but not
for the erection of a building. For
this reason an appropriation of $4,000
for the structure needed was made at
the last session of the Legislature.
Since the $4,000 appropriation will
expire on July 1, not being part of
the general appropriation bill, the con-
tract must be made before that date
and the work has been hurried through
as rapidly as possible. 1t is hoped
to have the new building ready for
DR.. Currie's staff in very short time.
