Materials for Coats.

The heavy coatings that bid fair TO
hold prominent place this spring are.
of course, higher in price, but then
they are not so expensive after all, for
they are very wide, and only small
number of yards is necessary to com
plete a garment. The rich oriental
colors still hold their own in these
materials, and for outing wear they
are lovely. Even the conservative
dresser does not hesitate to don one
of lhese lovely colorful top coats when
spending a time at southern resort
or in the country. Dress stuffs are
only a trifle less colorful, and at first
one might get the impression that
white had been excluded in the dress
goods plan This is by no means So
and almost any weave that is found ID
color is also to be had in plain white
There is this to be said, however, that
almost every white gown, unless one
is in mourning, has liberal touch Of
color introduced in the way of trim.

ID ECOMING lines are exemplified in
~ this new spring gown of taffeta,
which is simple enough for the home
dressmaker to undertake and pretty
enough for the most fastidious of
women to enjoy. Taffeta lends itself
to the new, wide skirts, the horizontal
tucks and other quaint features in
the new gowns, borrowed from
period more than half century be-
hind us. The days of the crinoline
are recalled by the utterly feminine
and fascinating occurrences of this
modest gown.
The wide tucks running around the
skirt with a fullness of three to four
yards in the width, combine to make
the flare that is to be achieved in this
particular style The fullness is dis
posed of at the top partly by cutting
and partly by shirring or plaits into
which the material is laid. Many of
the new spring skirts, cut with the re-
quirements of the plump figure i'll
mind fit smoothly about the hips and
are widened gradually toward the bot
tom, where they ripple at the hem.
Another feature of spring styles is
the revival of the suspender dress.

EEERE are three hats which stand fer
III three very distinct types in the
new millinery for spring. But they
have several features in common
which mark the incoming styles.
They are elaborately made and they
are considerably trimmed There is
a reaction away from the severely
plain hats with single and some
times minute decoration, such as
grew tiresome during the past winter.
At the left of the group is quaint
and picturesque bonnet made OF blacA
horsehair braid. Narrow black velvet
ribbon and clusters OF garden roses
and forget-me-nots are used for the
trimming. You cannot imagine any
thing which completes the costume
more tremendously when it is one OF
those wide skirted, colonial looking
affairs that are so prettily developed
in taffeta
At the right is pretty street turban
made of braid in satin straw, and hav-
ing soft silk crown. An embroidered
band about the coronet is bordered
with very narrow velvet ribbon and
short streamers fall from diminutive
fat bow at the back. At the front
big silk pompon supports a long slen-
der feather which fronts the weather
with amazing audacity.
One of those models which is eX-
pected to do duty both for street and
other wear is shown at the center of
the group It is made of crepe draped
over a light frame. The brim is cley-
erly managed SO that an outline Of
four points results. Midway between
these a little bouquet of roses and
small flowers is set in a cluster OF
leaves. This is one of those rare hats
that are suited to older as well as
younger rart~ons.

'Now, boys" said the schoolteacher,
II want you to bear in mind that the
word stan at the end of a word
means the place Of Thus we have
Afghanistan-the place of the At
ghans; also Hindustan-the place of
the Hindus. Can you give me another
example?"
Nobody appeared very anxious to do
so until little Johnny Snaggs said

And very appropriately accompany
ing this comes the prominence given
to pockets on skirts. for street wear
In these fine tailoring plays a most
important part. They are all cut ankle
length, and the attention given to
snappy footwear is not less than that
bestowed upon the skirt Separate
skirts are worn with tailored waists
of crepe-de-chine
In either tailored or afternoon
gowns there are short jackets and
long coats to choose from. The short
waist line hardly admits rival in
popularity, and perhaps this accounts
for the lack in number of designs
which were expected to feature mil
itary ideas.
The short jacket that completes the
pretty gown pictured here is covered
with braiding in self-color. 1t is just
the touch required to enrich the de-
sign. Worn over a lacy bodice and
with fower-trimmed hat the toilette
leaves nothing to be desired. 1t is
developed in a medium shade of blue
with a grayish cast and the hat and
parasol correspond

Locomotive Has Great Record.

The favorite locomotive on the west
ern divisions of the Lehigh Valley is
No. 2479. No. 2479 has a record of
which any locomotive might be proud.
1t has travelled distance equal to ten
trips around the world without
breakdown of consequence, hauling
passenger trains weighing 450 tons.
During % months it worked every
day. 1t also has remarkable record
for economy in fuel consumption. In

TRIUMPH OVER STEAM
ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES PROVE
GREAT SUCCESS.
Test Made at BIuefieId, w. Va, Proves
That George Westinghouse Had
the Right Idea-Other Roads
May Copy 1t.

What was a day dream of a great
inventor has been realized by test
made at Bluefeld, w. Va, on the most
powerful electric locomotive ever
built. Fourteen thousand horse power
was used to start single full tonnage
train, while nearly eight thousand was
used to propel it.
These giant locomotives were built
especially to haul the heavy freight
trains over the steep mountain grade
of this division.
Two locomotives are used on each
train, one at each end, because other
wise the enormous strain on the car
coupling from concentrating at one
point the enormous amount of energy
required to operate the train would be
dangerous. Each locomotive weighs
270 to1s, or over one million pounds
per train. Their capacity exceeds that
of any steam or electric locomotive
ever built, or enough to move 250-car
train, or one two miles long on level
track
The train moved by these locomo-
tives weighed nearly four thousand
tons and consisted of cars each carry
ing 100 tons of coal. 1t was started
and handled with perfect ease on the
two per cent grade of what is known
as one of the most difficult pieces of
construction in America
A test was also made on the electric
braking of the train down the noun
tain grade, resulting in the electric en-.
gines holding the train at steady
speed without the use of the train
brakes. This is accomplished by the
mechanical energy of the train on
down grade being transformed into
electric energy by the motors acting
as generators. This energy is then re-
turned to the system for use by other
trains. This is the first time that this
system of regaining energy has been
put into use in this country, and is
destined to be far-reaching in it's eff
feet
The enormous energy utilized in op-
Grating these trains is fed to the loco
motive from single-phase alternat-
ing-current system over one wire no
larger than a lead pencil, at $4,000
volts, pressure 20 times greater than
that used in the New York subway.
The energy is generated by steam tur-
bines in a special power house built
by the railroad company to operate
this division. 1t is located by the rail-
road tracks near the mines at Blue
stone, from which coal can be eco
nomically secured.
The Importance of this installation
can hardly be overestimated in mark
ing an advance in the identification of
steam railroads. 1t is interesting to
note that this electrifcation is the
practical realization of the ideas which
the late George Westinghouse, inven-
tor of the air brake, had nourished for
many years, and it's successful con-
clusion is due in no small measure to
his activity along these lines
1t is confidently expected that the
excellent results obtained on this in
stallation will lead number of other
roads to adopt electricity as a means
of increasing their capacity.

eUNDER SNOWDRIFT FOR WEEK
Three Locomotives Buried in Yard
at Schenectady, New York,
During Recent Blizzard.

Three freight locomotives were
completely buried in snowdsift dur
ing a blizzard, while standing in a
yard at Schenectady, N. Y, and it was

locomotives after they had been hauled
from the drift is shown in the illus
tration. These were new locomotives
that had never been in service, and
had just been made ready for the

them to their destination on the pur-
chasing railroad, when they were
buried in the drift and snow-bound

A nine-foot tunnel is about to be

will be run without operators from
distant control stations at an average
speed of % miles per hour. At the
island platforms there will be cleo

speaks Of a nearer realization Of the
political economic problem bound up
with Russia's access to the sea.
