100000 CARS To
MEET SHORTAGE
FACTORIES OF TIE EAST
ARE RUSHED TO LIMIT.
Orders for Year Ahead Have Been
Received at Nearly All the Leading
Fnctories-Aggregatc Cost of Cars
Now Ordered VIII Reach s1GO, ,OOO,-
900.

That the car factories of the east
are doing what they can to relieve the
car shortage of the United States is
shown by the following dispatch from
Plttsburg concerning the enormous
orders which have been received and
which are now being filled for all
parts of the country:
Orders for steel cars amounting to
$150,000,000 are now in the hands of
the car building companies of the
Pittsburg and other districts for con-
struction this year. Inquiries are COM
ing in for cars that already give indi-
cations of orders amounting to from
$4,000 900 to $50. 900, 600 more.
Despite the enormous aggregate of
cars now building the railroads would
be willing to buy many thousands
more II they could be assured of de-
livery within the next 10 months
Practically every steel car building
company i'm the country is booked
ahead for more than one year and
plans are on foot for extensions that
viii increase capacity largely. The
need for cars was never more urgent
than at present but the buying has
been limited to the capacity of the
builders.
Builds Plant at Hammond.
II was only recently that the STAN
dard company, which has 5000 men
at work at its Butler plant, began the
construction of n $4,000, 900 car works
at Hammond, Ind. to care for the or
ders which are threatening to overflow
II. This plant will be almost a dupli-
cate of the Butler works, and II is eX-
pected to be in operation in August.
Already the railroads of the west have
placed orders for cars to be construct
ed there this year.
II is said the Pressed Steel Car COM
pany has orders ahead for 10000 cars,
and that its plants have as much as
they can do for the remainder of the
year. The Standard company is re-
ported to have orders on its books for
$4,000 cars.
The American Car & Foundry COM
pany has orders on hand for construe-
tion at its various plants amounting to
10000, and the Cambria Steel COM
pany at Johnstown, which is owned by
the Pennsylvania railroad, has orders
ahead for at least 10, 900 cars. These.
with orders at scattered plants, amount
to $50 900 steel or steel underframe
cars, the total cost of which will run
up close to $160,000,O00.

Real Moroccans.

Moor and Morocco are words un-
known to the people of that troubled
land. These people know themselves
as Arabs and descendants OF those
valiant upholders Of the prophets
green standard who swept like flood
across North Africa at the time of
the hegira. The Morocco of the pres
eat day they found possessed by a
sturdy race who claimed descent from
the people who were cast out of Ca
naaan by Joshua, the son of Nun.
Their country, SO far as it's plains
were concerned, was taken from them
by the Arabs, and their fighting
strength was made to serve the Arab
cause in the conquest of Spain. They
themselves gradually took to the
mountains, to the great Atlas. Here
they have remained ever since, speak
ing their own language, maintaining
their own customs and racial attri-
butes, and obstinately refusing to be
absorbed by the Arab dwellers on the
plains. These people are the Berbers !;
their tongue is called Shilhah. Liter
ature they have none, in the ordinary
sense of the word. But they have a
rich store of oral tradition, myth, le-
gend and folklore.

WINTER TIME IN KABUL.
More Pleasant Places Than the CapI.
tai of Afghanistan.

The cold is intense, the snow lies
deep in the streets and the winds are
freezing. Winter, beginning early in
October and continuing until March.
renders life in Kabul difficult and I'M
comfortable. Charcoal is the CHIEF
fuel, and as the houses, owing to
numerous doors and windows, are
very draughty, the supply OF wood
very limited, and coal unobtainable,
1t is necessary to wear, even in the
house, treble thicknesses OF clothing,
and the longest, warmest and thick
est of fur coats outside the doors.
Meal times under such rigorous
conditions are a distinct misfortune,
writes Angus Hamilton in the Ladys
Realm. All foodstuffs freeze solid,
bread has to be chopped with an ak,
the drinking water broken with a
hammer. Pickles, sauces, jams and
ink are better put away until the
spring
Joints must be served piping hot
from the fire and lying over pan Of
glowing charcoal-even then the CEN
ter will probably be unthawed. while
the matutinal cup of tea and the
nocturnal cup Of cocoa must be gulped
rapidly if it is not to freeze before it
is swallowed. There are but few COM
pensations, even in Kabul, for the Sc
verify of the climate. If one ventures
out it is most necessary to keep out
of the cold winds.
