New York Dec. 11.-All the leading

The improvement in prices, arising
from the Unexpectedly unfavorable bank
statement and the increase in United
States Steel tonnage figures, was of brief
duration. Realizing and some short rail-

However, Louisville and Nashville and
Western Maryland gained l. The market
advanced briskly again to its best figures
on largely increased dealings.
Stocks made only an Indifferent re

prices in London and the fall in cotton to
new low levels strengthened the list,

FIRST MOVES FOR THE
CAMPAIGN OF 1912,
National Committees Will Meet u
Washington In December.

When the Republican national com.
-aittee meets in Washington on De-,
II to fix the time and place for the
holding of the Republican national
convention next year. the committee
men will also be called upon to meet
the demand of the National Progress.
sive Republican league that the direct
vote system be officially adopted as
the method of choosing delegates to
the convention. While the Progressive
Republicans have only about three
members on the national committee
the proposed fight will be the opening
gun of the battle for the presidential
nomination in the Republican party
next year.
In all probability, Senator William
e. Borah Of Idaho will be chosen to
present the demand of the Progress
sives that the national committee shall
pass a resolution recommending that
in all states wherever practicable the
state committee shall call presidential
primaries at least thirty days prior to
the Republican national convention.
The convention will be composed of
approximately 1852 delegates.
Indications now point to Chicago as
the convention city of the Republican
party. st. Louis and Buffalo have ask
ed for the convention, and Kansas
City, Mo-, Denver, and possibly St
Paul may also be applicants. Chicago
has not yet extended its invitation
but 1t is expected to do so. The De-
cember meeting of the committee will
also fill permanently the vacancy in
the craftsmanship occasioned by the
retirement of Frank Fl. Hitchcock
John f. Hill of Maine, the acting
chairman, will probably be continued
at the head Of the committee, if prec-
,edent is followed.
The Democratic national committee
will also meet in Washington in De-
cember to choose a convention city and
fix a date for their national conven-
ton. The formal call is expected
shortly. Progressive Democrats will
demand that delegates to the national
convention be chosen by direct pri-
maries and the committee may accede
to the demand.

HEELS AND HOBBIES BLAMED
Railroad Learns Causes of Accidents to
Women Patrons,

That high heels and hobble skirts are
responsible for a large proportion of
the injuries sustained by women while
getting on and off trains and mount
ing and descending stairways in sta
tons is the conclusion reached by the
Pennsylvania railway claim depart
ment after an investigation covering
three months in which seventy-three
such cases were recorded.
The injuries ranged from slight con-
tusions to painful sprains and cuts.
Typical of the causes set forth are:
Heel caught on step of coach and
torn Off
"High heels caught while descend
ing stairs; wore hobble skirt"
1t is pointed out that the railroad
can do nothing to prevent these casual
ties because women of all times have
followed styles that are dangerous to
life and limb"

THE COMING WARSHIP.
Great Britain's Experiment May Mean
Great Alterations In Construction.


Great Alterations In Construction.
What will be the Ultimate outcome of
the British admiralty's recent order for
a destroyer to be fitted with internal
combustion engines it is difficult to de-
termine, but should the experiment
prove a success it is possible to fore
see an alteration of great magnitude
in warship construction. The saving
in weight, space and labor by the use
of this class Of engine is enormous
when compared with the ordinary ma
rine steam engine.
1t is estimated that so per cent of the
space at present utilized by the main
as 90 per cent on bunker space. At
present it is necessary to provide stor-
age for the great quantity of coal fuel
in order that ships shall have an eff
fective radius of action, but with the
internal combustion engine oil fuel
only would be required. The same
horsepower would be obtained from
about one-third of the weight of fuel
at present consumed per hour. The
saving in weight of an engine of 1000
horsepower would be about one-half,
while 75 per cent would be saved in
labor.
Another point to be noted is that
with internal combustion engines fun
nels, as we know them, would become
things of the past. This would be a
distinct gain to the destroyer, whose

The VALUE OF REST.

feel / simply can't be idle" a
friend said to me the other day.
And she seemed very proud of the
fact. But / think that her habit of
being always on the go makes her
rather a difficult person to live with.
For she works till her temper and
nerves are all on edge.
Many women think it very clever
and praiseworthy to be able to " go
on forever" +" like them.
But it is just as clever, and very
often more praiseworthy, to be able
to rest when one could perfectly well
do so. For to work until one is tir-
ed and dead cross is rather hard on
the family.
OF course, sometimes it is not pos
sible for busy woman to take long
rest, but even an occasional ten min
utes in quiet room, with the eyes
closed and the body in a restful posi-
tion, will often work wonders.
To Keep Eggs Fresh.
A sister, who lives in the country,
sends a box of eggs now and again to
town three or four dozen at time.
1t seemed a great pity to eat them up
quickly while they were fresh, for If
they could have kept them a little
they would have been able to enjoy
them through several weeks.
But they found a way of making
them keep, and though the last box
came nearly a month ago are still
having eggs that taste as fresh as If
they had been laid yesterday.
When the box arrived all the eggs
were taken out and examined very
carefully to see If any of the shells
were cracked.
The cracked ones were put aside,
\ to be used at once, and the sound
ones treated in the following way:
A saucepan of water was boiled,
the eggs one at a time, in a soup
ladle, dipped into the water-right in
till they were covered-and then out
again as fast as possible.
This hardened the shells and made
the insides keep we'll, so that even
| now there is not the least musti-
ness about them.
Squeaking Boots.
There are several ways of overcom-
ing the annoyance caused by squeak
| ing boots. One is to put little pow
| der in between the thicknesses of the
soles. This may be effected by sep
arating them slightly with a pen
knife.
Another way is to leave the boots
standing in a fiat dish containing a
little oil during the night, so that
| the soles may become thoroughly
saturated with it. But remember
that the oil must not be deep enough
to touch the leather or kid, or the
| boot will not polish.
Some advise the use of a peg to
| tighten the layers of leather. A boot
that squeaks is not generally well
made
Christmas Presents.
| Perhaps you think the second week

eight weeks to get in foreign climes
