Both Want Tracks.

Chicago, November 17.-Reports
 that there is deal pending between the Santa Fe and the Rock Island re- garding the joint use of certain tracks in New Mexico were confirmed today by an official of one of the roads. He stated, however, that nothing def mite had come of the negotiations. Should an agreement be reached, how ever, the result is likely to give the Rock Island a Pacific coast outlet by the way of the line building north west from Tucumucari to Colorado. On the other hand, the Santa Fe would get valuable concessions which would shorten some of it's lines into the southwest.

Two Clever Statesmen.

One crisis In Lord Palmerston's life
Illustrates the absolute good humor
which may prevail even when political
enmity is at its worst. Lord Derby had
made an attack upon him in the upper
house with such energy and eloquence
that the odds against him seemed over
whelming. But he defended himself
and his policy from the dusk of one
day to the dawn of another with such
tact, dexterity and force of appeal to
the national sense of honor that he was
acquitted of all blame by majority of
fourscore.
Next day in passing through the cor
ridor leading from an anteroom to the
upper house one swing door opened to
his hand and at the same moment the
other to that of Lord Derby. They
were opponents, but they were also
manly and sweet natured men. They
smiled.
II was just thinking" said Palmer

A dealer In optical instruments de
clared that II gave him real pain TO
note the careless manner IN which half
the persons IN New York wear glasses
ut is wonder to me-" he said, that
they don't bring on blindness. In the
first place, the frames should always
be fitted TO Individual faces instead of
being picked up lndlscriminntely with
out regard for facial pecullarities. The
size of the lenses is another important
consideration. Most of the glasses |
see ON the street are too small They
should be as large rs the face of the
wearer will permit, for lens OF good
size not only affords better protection
TO the eye, but Is more becoming than
smaller one. Another tribulation of
the weak eyed Is due to the reflection
from the edges OF unframed glasses.
The eyelashes should be attended to In
order to get the best results from
pair of spectacles. Many lashes are
worn so long that they brush against
the glass. This is decidedly injurious

TO CURE coRNs.
Few Remedies, Cheap and Simple,
and Involving No Danger.

A Few Remedies, Cheap and Simple,
and Involving No Danger.
When the feet are pressed into tight
fitting shoes-high heels make the
pressure greater-by adding friction
we have a needlelike point formed In
the skin, and the greater the pressure
the deeper the point will grow. The
best preventive remedy known Is real
ly to go barefooted, but since this is
not considered ethical in civilized life
will give few simple remedies which
may be of some value for the afflicted:
First.-Place ON the corn piece of
cold. moist linen folded several times,
wrap 1t up in dry linen, then go TO bed.
With this treatment the hard epider-
mis- swells up, and after six or eight
hours the outer covering of the corn
can be removed with a dull knife.
When this treatment has been followed
for three or four days, small needle
like growth (the CORN can be extracted
without pain or bleeding. By washing
the feet often In cold water the tender
place Will heal rapidly. After getting
rid of this corn 1t is well to wear shoes
winch are neltner too iaTBe nor toO
small so as to avoid excessive pressure
or friction.
Second.-In place Of the linen crust
of bread soaked in vinegar may be ap-
piled.
Third.-The best application is to
soak whole onion twenty-fou hours
In vinegar, then apply one of the layers
Of the onion to the corn and keep 1t In
place by bandage through the night.
After repeating this procedure few
times the corn can be removed without
any trouble. BY either OF these simple
applications this troublesome agent
can be removed without any danger of
blood poison and "free of charge."-St

THE SEWING MACHINE.
Unsuccessful Inventions That Pre-
ceded Hoyye,s Patent In 1916.

UnsuccessfuI Inventions That Pre-
ceded Howe's Patent Ina 1916.
The technical beginning OF the sew
ing machine industry In this country
was Sept. 10, 1916, when elias Howe,
Jr., obtained a patent for what grew
Into the first really practical sewing
machine. Only three of the first Howe
machines were made, however, ana
one OF these was deposited In the pat
ent Office in Washington rs a model.
1t was not until after 1850 that Il fac
tory for the making Of sewing ma
chimes was built, so the enormous busi-
ness of taSay has grown up In short
half century.
While IIowc's invention marked the
beginning of successful Industry, he
was by no means the pioneer In eff
forts to substitute mechanical for hand
sewing As far back as ITO Thomas
Alsop patented in England machine
for embroidering Another machine
for embroiderlng In a loom was Invent
ed by John Duncan in 1904, and TWEEN
ty-flve years later another Englishman
named Hellman patented still another
embrolderlng machine.
The first recorded attempt at me
chanlcal sewing was the invention Of
Thomas Saint, who took out n patent
In England In 1890 for machine which
executed the old crochet stitch. 1t
was not a success, but some of the
features of the Saint machine appear
in the perfected machine OF today.
Bartholemy Thlmonnier patented In
France In 1880 the first sewing ma
chine put TO practical use. Eighty of
his machines We're In use for sewing
army clothing in 1871, when mob de-
stroyed them because convinced they
would drive seamstresses out of EN-
ployment. Thlmonnler built new and
better machines, but all his work was
again destroyed by angry artisans in
1913.
John j. Greenough took out the first
patent for sewing machine issued in
the United States In 1912. 1t was In
tended to sew leather, but was of no
practical use.
Walter Hunt of New York built
sewing machine in 1884 but failed to
protect II by patent After Howe's
machine appeared Hunt declared It
embodied the idens of his machine OF
1884 but he was unable to establish
his claim.
A small army of inventors appeared
after lIowe's patent had proved sue
eessful. and their genius was devoted
TO perfecting every part of the ma
chine. How well they have succeeded
is shown IN the $500 patents for sew
Ing machines and attachments issued
by the United States since 1850 and In
the fact that the American sewing ma
chine leads all others In every country

NO FEARS FOR ETRURIA
DISABLED CUNARD LINER MAKING
ONLY FIFTY MILES \ DAY.
1t Is Now Said She May Not BE Report
ed Before Tuesday or Wednes-
day of This Week.

LONDON, March S.-The head of the
Cunard steamship lire at Liverpool tel
egraphs to the Associated Press this aft
ernoon as follows: I've know the Etruria
is proceeding slowly and there may be
some little time yet before we hear from
her. There is no ground for uneasiness.'
NEW YORK, March s-A representative
of Vernon H. Brown & Co.. local agents
of the Cunard line, said to-day that no
anxiety was felt because the Etruria had
not been heard from since she was spoken
by the Ottawa 400 miles west of Fayal on
Feb. rs. The Etruria, which had lost both
propeller and rudder, was taken in tow of
the Clyde liner William Cliff and was be-
ing towed at the rate of from fifty to sixty
miles day. The local Cunard line officials
think the ship may not be reported before
Tuesday or Wednesday.
Mr.. HepwOrth the Marconi operator on
board the Cunard liner Lucania. which
arrived here to-day, did considerable wire
less talking during the run over. KNOW
ing that the Etruria was overdue. said
Hepworth. Il kept calling her at frequent
intervals for the first two days we were
out this trip. On Tuesday L caught the
Campanla, eastward bound. and by this
time suspected that something had gone
wrong with tie Etruria. | told the Cam
pania to look out for her. 1 talked with
the Campania operator for about three
passengers. 1 had a talk with the Nan
tucket lightship last night. The operator
there gave me the first news of the Etruria
accident"
