NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Mon Who D;ed WIZ, H. poo4. n.
no Died With His Boots On

William H. Vanderbilt inherited,
] was going to say, one particular
hobby which was characteristic of
his father, the great commodore,
said Captain Frederick C. Wagner,
who was an intimate friend OF the
Nanderbilts, and who was the pro-
vost- marshal of New York city dur
ing the four years of the Civil War.
William H. Vanderbilt, like his
father, could not be persuaded to
wear anything in the form of leather
upon his feet excepting the old-fash-
toned high boots. For some twenty
or thirty years before the mid-siXties
every gentleman or every man who
wanted to be well dressed wore calf
skin boots. They were high ching
things. They came up so as to cover
almost all of the legs below the knees.
The trousers were worn over them.
It was customary for those who were
Rastidious to have their boots made
by some favored bootmaker and the
choicest kind of calfskin was utilized
In the manufacture of them. Many
men kept their boot lasts with their
bootmakers for years and the lasts
sometimes passed on from one gen,
era ton to another representing a
part of the good assets of the boot
makers shop.
william II. Vanderbilt was espe-
cially particular about his boots They
were splendidly made and were SO
fitted as to make his feet appear
shapely They were always very
highly polished He never could be

an elastic side so that IL could be
slipped on and off easily. These were
very popular at one time, and led to
the ultimate supplanting of the high
topped boot by the modern shoe.
ut was q curious thing, observed
by some Of those who were brought

tive departments, were strongly dis
posed to initiate some of Mr.. Wander

order says that if there is any arm

What to Eat to Keep Warm

icai substances contained in grapes
make that fruit one of the stand bys
OF the winter diet. And the cram
berry also should be served frequently
IN winter because of its value as q
blood and liver tonic.
among the accessories of a meal,
meat broths may well be included for,
though 1t is now known that they
nave practically no nutritive value.
they are nevertheless very good an
petizers. The function of a true appe-
tizer is to stimulate the flow of saliva
and other juices and thus insure
thorough digestion. The spices and
condiments, however, which are often
taken as appetizers, should not ap-
pear frequently during the winter, be-
cause the injurious substances which
they contain are liable to clog the
kidneys. There may be more excuse
for them in the days of summer per-
spiration, when many of the poisons
are eliminated through the pores of
the skin.
The carefully balanced winter menu
is not complete If the water supply is
neglected, for water is as important to
the human heating apparatus as it is
to hot water heating system in a
building. Much water, of course,
should not be taken with the meals,
but enough should be taken at other
times to make about Az pints a day.

Our War Equipment.

From the Detroit News.
General Leonard Wood makes an
almost startling revelation of the mil
itary weakness of the United States
in its land defense. Here we have
been fiuttering like a moth about the
flame of possible war for many
months while certain interests have
insisted that we were in duty bound
to take the Mexican republic across
our knee and spank it into state of
acute sensibllity as to it's political
duty. Most of those who have urged
this policy had no thought of seizing
a musket and rushing into the thick
of the fight. Rather would they re-
main in the rear and profit through
the furnishing of supplies.
But General Wood informs us that
we lack the guns and the ammuni-
ton to make even a good Fourth Of
July celebration.

Iron and Steel Buying Increases.

Iron and Steel Buying Increases.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Conditions in the iron and steel
trade are unquestionably better than
before the holidays, and. while there
is still much idle capacity, the influx
of new business during the past week
or two has been very encouraging to
the trade. Bookings. in many lines
have been the best for a long time.
but the absence of substantial rail-
way buying still creates hesltancy
as to the future. Recent business has
been entered at a heavier basis than
represented by mill activities, due to
the. fact that there has been a greater
volume of first quarter contracting,
against which immediate specifica-
tions have not been proportionately
large
Producers of both pig iron and fin
ished materials are adjusting their
operations to meet current conditions.
In instances there has been further
curtailment, in others assumptions
have been on better basis. In some
cases wage readjustments have been
made in order to permit makers to
meet business at lower selling levels.
Low prices have been strong factors
in the recent buying movement. Fol-
lowing heavy sales there has been
some firming UP, but actual strength
in the price situation has not yet
been firmly established

shop. This makes it possible to pro-
duce at such low price that, coupled
with aggressive selling methods, the
increased demand makes production
cost less and less.
The announcement that the Ford
plant is to run twenty-four hours
day in three shifts of eight hours
each is a marked departure in ma
chine work, and one that secures
maximum output for minimum in
vestment in the plant. objection will
undoubtedly be raised as to the wear
of machines, the repairs necessary to
keep them up and the like. But 1t
does not take much consideration to
show that any machine has a given
amount of capacity for work, both as
to speed and quantity. Assuming due
care and repairs. the sooner we get
this amount of work out of machine
the better, especially as we can re-
place it with a more efficient machine
An increase of 80 to 80 per cent. in
the capacity of the plant with the
same equipment menas very much
lower overhead expense and re-
duced cost that will take care of
somewhat reduced efficiency, even If
this were a necessary part of contin-
uous operation.
Prediction of disaster would be
much safer If the Ford company had
not thrived by doing the things many
of us declared to be impossible.
