that have been and are being made

Such condition has been forecast by
various real estate men for weeks past
and 1t now appears that they may soon
see their expectations realized.

OF course, neither the voters of the
city nor the aldermen of the council
have voted for subway. A majority
of the traction-packed transportation
committee have decided for subways
for reasons of their own.
At referendum spring of 1914 the
city-wide subway plan was knocked
to smithereens by an overwhelming
vote. Since then, according to
Greater Chicago Federation officers,
feeling against subways, either city
wide or downtown "dinky," has be-
come more hostile. Slaughter of
wrecked and trapped passengers in
the underground tunnels of New
York, and the Eastland holocaust,
have famed the feeling that subways
should not be resorted to in Chicago
until all possibilities of sunshine
transportation have been given fair
trial.

Three engineers at 100000 apiece
have been named by council trans.
portation subcommittee to tell ussex-
actly how and where to dig subways
and what it will cost.
, At the head of this committee is
the same expert who did the last big
job of transportation exporting for
Chicago He is Bion J.. Arnold, chair
man board of supervising engineers
who since 1907 have supervised all
street car transportation of Chicago.
Arnold got famous in 1907 when his
so-caIled rehabilitation of street rail-
ways was the big card. He told Chi
cago then by tearing away all old
tracks and old equipment and putting
in first-class new material and high
speed devices, everybody would have
a seat in the cars and it would at last
be pleasure to take a street car ride.
With Arnold on new committee are
VIM. Barclay Parsons and Robert
Ridgway. Like Bion Arnold, these
two have been solving street car
problems in other cities where the

Another of the long list of stage favor,tes who have won equal popu- laritv Oh the screen is Miss Mary Bo- land. now appearing as the star in the Equitable Motion Pictures Corpo- ration's production of "The Price of Happiness" which will be sohwn Tuesday and Wednesday at the La mara. Miss Roland comes to the screen after a lonf series of dramatic tri- umDhs under the banner of the late Charles Frohman.
 Miss Roland was born in Philadel phia, but her family moved to De- troit Michigan, when she was little gitl, and it was in the bustling city by tne Lakes that she received her education and experienced her theat- rical debut. At the age of 16. Miss Roland who had been devoted to ann ateur thea.ricals. began her profess sional work with q stock company in Detroit After two seasons in stock, tidings of her charm and ability reached the New York theatrical mag mates and Miss Roland w2s given the leading role in support of Robert Ede- son in "Strongheart,' playing in both New York and Lcndon.
 It was during Miss Boland's Lon don engagement with MT. Edeson that Charles Frohman first saw her. He recognized at once her superior talent and remarkably impressive personal | ity and engaged her to return to 1 America as leading woman for John | Drew.
 ! Miss Roland played opposite MT ! Drew six years in as many plays; first. "Jack Straw" then '1nconstant George" and then Smith" in which Miss oRlard really had the star part and was often good -naturedly accused by MT Drew of taking the play away from him. The final three Drew plays in which she appeared in the leadint feminine roles were, "The Single Man,
 "The Perplexed Husband" and re
 vival of "1he Tyranny of Tears"
