Actress Draws Salary 4 Years Without Work London. Nov. 13. Miss Marianne Caldwell, a London actress, has been drawing a salary for four years, and has not done any work for it. In 1916 she was engaged for "the ran of the piece" for "Chu Chin Chow" at His Majesty's theater. Before this obstinately successful play was produced it was found that Miss Caldwell m:ed not be called upon for the part she had rehearsed and her services have never been re quired since. Every week a check for her salary is sent her, and in acknowledgeing the receipt she says where she may be found if wanted in a hurry. - , .i; -.- ..... -;v;; " !

(Chicago Tribune Iorelgn Newa Service.) Sevastopol. The very life of thi Wrangel government, according tJ expert economists here, is imperiled by its financial straits, which have hroticht about difficulties for gov ernment employes and utter desti tution for the people as a whole, including the thousands crowding the big cities. Prices for foreigners are extremely low. owine to the exchange, but they arc extremely high for Russians, Even the barest necessities ot lite, in the big cities of the Crimea are far beyond the reach of average sal aries. At an average restaurant a poor; meal costs 5,000 to 10,000 rubles, op between 20 and 40 cents in Amer-t ican money at present exchange; Army officers and average govern ment employes get approximately: 60,000 rubles monthly. Enlisted men cet 2.000 rubles a, month and arc allowed 1,200 addi- tional,. together with a subsistence allowance. Careful marketing in thai interior, where prices are relatively" much lower than in the cities and where food is plentiful, makes it possible for the men to live on this amount. Merest Existence Possible. In the cities the merest existence is possible and charges are frequent ly made that government officials are forced to graft by inadequate pay. Disfavor of Wrapgel's civil administration thus results. There are many beggars. Children approach guests at the open air res taurant to beg for bread crusts and for permission to gnaw the bones ready to be thrown to the dogs. All are ragged and barefooted.. Gum Shoes for Old Dobbin Rubber Horseshoe Has Been Perfected and Will Soon Be Placed On Market Non-Skid, Spark , Jess Stylish Sandal for the Old Grey Mare. . Akron, O., Nov. 13. Old Dobbin is to be gumshoed. v t Yes. the old bay mare is going to have rubber soles for her tired, ach ing feet. 'I Instead of clattering ever the cob blestones with steel plated hoofs. Old Dobbin soon will be stepping along like a quiet lady. Her hoofi will be manicured for tubbcr horseshoes. The idea, which ii to be developed on a very wide scale by the Firestone Rubber com pany, was developed and patented by Thilip Rooney. v It is figured enough rubber horseshoes, which fit iti, a steel shoulder will be turned out to prevent a slump in the rubber business, which is now threatened by the break in the automobile mar ket. . There are more than 63,000,000 Dobbins in the United States, some 890,000 of them being in Ohio. So upholstery for all the Dobbins' feet each Dobbinvou remember, hav- .' ing four feet will be quite an under-. taking. Take Out the Jolts. A lot of the jolts and jars arc to be taken out of the horse's life, and i the rubber shoes are guaranteed to be nonskid. They wilt be of all shapes and sizes, with fashionably broad . toes and open heels or barred, padded and welted as fancy mrty,.,dictatc. And one point about these new shoes old Dobbin will have to be taken to the blacksmith chiropodist only once a month instead of bi weekly, as at present. Charles Goodyear, it may be re membered, many years ago, experi mented with rubber horseshoes, us ing a chicken as a tryout model. But the old lien wasn't a success. But Rooney had an inspiration. It was a horseshoe constructed of a thin plate of steel and covered either f parti.! ly or completely with vulcan ized rubber. Since it is impossible to weld steel and rubber together, Rooney and a friend used a system of ticing. a hand-in-glove arrange ment that worked out perfectly. So rubber horseshoes will be on the market in 60 days. The influence of literature will be far-reaching. No more will sparks be dashed from the flying rocks by the speeding horse's hoofs. The poet will simply say the steed went so fast his rubber shoes melted. And as for dramatics. Well, when the litro dashes up madly to rescue or kidnap the heroine, as the case may be. the property,nian will be a golfer who bounces a few golf balls against the wall to denote the pounding of the horse's hoof. Truly a gentler era has come. Just how this ,is going to benefit the New York ' apartment dweller whose flat is next to the elevated is not stated.
