LARGE ORDER FOR AMERICA
Greek Government Has Contracted
for Twenty of the Largest Type
of Locomotives.

Consul General Alexander W. We'd
dell, Athens, writes that contract
has recently been closed between the
Greek government and an American
company for the construction of 20
locomotives and tenders for the lines
of La Societe des Chemins de Fer
Helleniques. The locomotives are ex-
pected to be in use by the end of
1915. The locomotives and tenders are
to cost $4,000 each f. o. b. steamer
New York They are to be of the
type known as Mikado. Delivery of
the locomotives is to be made within
three months from the arrival at the
factory of the representatives of the
Greek government who are to over
look the construction and the deposit
of the negotiable notes at New York
or London bank covering the cost
These negotiable notes, deposit of
which is to be made at once, will be
delivered to the company on receipt
from it of the bills of lading covering
the shipment of the locomotives; they
are payable six months after date, and
bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent
per annum.
Provision is made in the contract of
sale for the settlement of any ques-
tons arising through the appointment
of arbitrators; the third member Of
the arbitration board, in the event of
disagreement between the parties, is
to be the president of the Society of
Civil Engineers of London. The con-
tract has been ratified by royal de-
cree.

AUTO RUNS ON TRACK
CAN BE EASILY CONVERTED INTO
RAILROAD CAR.
One Is in Use for Inspection Pur-
poses on Leading Line-Stee
Tire Made to Fit Over the
Pneumatic.

The latest feature in railroad in
spection cars is a Hanged steel tire
that can be fitted securely over a
pneumatic tire, thus making an ordi-
nary automobile suitable for running
on railroad track, and a seven-pas-
senger touring car equipped in this
way is already in use on one of the
leading American railroads. The steel
tire has the tread and hange of a
standard railroad tire, but is provided
with a deep groove on the inner sur
face into which the pneumatic tire
fits. The pneumatic tire is first part
ly Debated and the steel tire is slipped
over it, after which the pneumatic tire
is inflated until it comes to a firm
bearing in the groove of the steel
tire. With this arrangement, the
pneumatic tire serves its original pur-
pose of absorbing the shock and vi
bration. When operating on the rail
road track the steering gear is locked
by clamping the steering knuckle,
with the wheels lined up for going
straight ahead.-Popular Mechanics.

Miss Stonehouse, whose high-bred
type of beauty carries off the splendid
things in clothes, seems fitted to mas
querade as silken-robed princesses and
queens pictured in romances of long
ago. The strenuous life of the NOV

the calm eyes and serene brow that

Of the silent drama.
To her type belong just the sort of
clothes In which we catch a glimpse
of her through the eye of the camera.
Her cloak, or mantle, of rich, high
luster silk, is made of a weave so
supple that it is easy to reveal a
graceful carriage in it. 1t falls and
clings and adapts itself to each motion
of the wearer.
This silk has brocaded surface and
is woven in many colors, but is most
beautiful in rose or blue and in cop
per shades. But in any color the bro
caded surface and the lustrous weave
allow fascinating play of color.

Although no definite announcements
have been made as yet, and probably
will not be made for few weeks, it
is we'll known that several makers
contemplate bringing out a 12-cylin-
der model next year. The significant
hint was given at an automobile deal
ers' dinner recently, in which it was
stated that eff the public demanded a
12-cylinder car" this company was
prepared to furnish it. The fexibil-
ity obtained with a many-cylindered
motor is an inducement to many
motorists to put up with many of its
drawbacks and complexities. At the
present time there is but a single ~
cylinder car made, the racing model
of the Sunbeam" a British make,
which took part in the last Decoration

pared for the nine-minute safety

recital of the disaster which must at
tend the taking of chances on and
about the companys lines and proper

can "boys" have monograph in their
bunk cars, Mr.. Hale leaves a set of
