This last weekend I spent in an odd
corner of France that l long wished
to see. Pushing on, our motor passed
an exquisite little hotel that seemed
to insist 1t had story to tell. we
made inquiries and learned that the
hotel had been set apart by the
French republic as n temporary home
for King Albert of the Belgians.
Nearby was a row Of crude huts,
each with a wooden sign in front.
These were the executive offices OF
the Belgian government. / remem-
ber that one of the signs read, Min

A quarter OF a mile down the road
we came up to a tall. distinguished

accepted and a conversation began.

MOST REMARKABLE RAILROAD IN CHILE

Fifty miles inland from Valparaiso

Chile and the fourth South American
city in population. From its broad
central avenue the Alameda, lined
with statues and four rows of trees,
one can look upon mountains crowned
with perpetual snow. From here the
tranScOntinental tourist departs for
the ride over the Trans-Andean rail-
road, the first rail line to conquer the
tremendous Andean barrier and prob
ably the most wonderful feat of rail-
road engineering in the world.

Difficulty of Securing High Boots
Probably Will Affect Length
of Skirts.
PARIS ABANDONS NARROW TOE
American Women Said to Be Last in
Civilized World to Cling to
Punched Vamp and Exag-
qerated French Heel.

New York.-The fashion in shoes
has been unusually important for
three years, but now it has taken on
renewed vigor. Women and manufaC-
turers are vitality concerned with what
to wear, and how high or low it should
be.
The recent shipment of sharks skins
to this country to supply the deficiency
in leather is interesting The manu-
facturers say that the effect of shoes
made out of the man-eaters that
threatened and frightened us on the
New Jersey coast last summer will be
good and that women will not COM
plain that leather is no longer to be
easily had because they will be salts
fed with the new things.
Cloth is also being substituted. Can
vas is readily used with bit of leath-
to an old tradition that shoes must be
of certain hides. Brocade, silk, tussah,
cotton are all called to the colors to
serve the country in time of need
Leather shoes are mounting in price,
naturally, and yet there is no DISPOSE
ton on the part of the manufacturers
to make any other kind of shoes at a
low price. All labor is too high for
any material reduction to be possible.
The difficulty is to get worker and
leather, and dire prophecies are made
concerning both if the war continues
well into the future.
The French heightened their skirts
for spring and summer to meet the
difficulty of procuring high boots, they
said, and, therefore, the American
woman is considering well the ques-
tons which are put before her by the
shOemakers and the dressmakers.
The Shoe and the Skirt.
There is no separating the two is
sues, it would seem, for woman who
has been used to wearing the very
short skirt will certainly be hampered
if she can no longer find the shoes
to meet the situation. If the Substitu-
ton of other materials than leather
does not meet with her approval, and
she thinks the new kind are ugly,
then she will lengthen her frocks and
be in the first fashion.
AS so many questions were asked
concerning the situation, and as it was
evident that Paris was the source of
both fashions, that is, the heightened
gown and the new types of shoes, l
sent there for the best information
to be had, so that women who read
could make up their minds as to their
own course through expert knowledge.
No matter how good our workman
ship in shoes in this country, we may
have to go to France for ideas, just
as in other days France came to us
for the short vamp, the Cuban heel,

able under similar conditions with
steam traction.
1t must be remembered that each
steam locomotive is self-cOntained
power plant which may not be ope-
rated to the best advantage by the men
in charge of it. 1t takes long time to
start an ordinary locomotive that has
been standing in the roundhouse, and
this work calls for the attention of the
engineer and fireman from the very
beginning of steam raising. More than
that, certain amount of coal is
burned at low efficiency in raising the
water to the steaming point and then
to the desired operating pressure.
There is no return upon this outlay.
Improbable Periods.
Furthermore, all the time during
which the locomotive is waiting in the
yard or station and not actually en-
gagged in hauling represents an I'M
profitable period, and finally there are
the haltS for fuel and water along the
run and the protracted attendance at
the end of the journey when the en-
CINE is again returned to a round
house. One might cite other cOndi-
tons, such as leaky valves, changes Of
altitude, and the effects of weather
en- route, which have q very decided
bearing upon the working and the
cost of operating steam locomotives.
See, then, how different is the story
in the case of the electric tractor.
Each of these electric locomotives is
entirely Independent of coal pockets
along the way, for it needs neither fuel
nor water, and therefore does not have
to drag along behind it a bulky, bur-
densome tender. Further, the man at
the lever has nothing whatever to do
with the generation of energy, and, ac-
cOrdingly, all of these tractors can be
operated exactly alike.
Needs Little Care.
No matter what the grade, the mo-
tOrman knows that his supply of mo-
tive force will remain constant and
equal to the tax on it, his locomotive
meeting each changing condition cas-
| lily and without wracking stress. 1t
can run a thousand miles without over
hauling, and for that reason can cover
several steam railway divisions at one
stretch. It has no ashes to dump no
fues to clean, and no boiler to in
spect. 1t can be started out of its
| rpIIp1hnI1cn of inCfunt'c nnfinn If
can be housed at the end of its run
with only a few minutes attention
and for these reasons the cost of SUI
pervisiOn and maintenance falls far be-
low that of its steam rival.
AS one of the experts has said
"Winter, above all, demonstrates the
efficiency of the electric locomotive,
It's great driving power gives 1t a
marked advantage over its steam COM
petitor in pushing through heavy
however, is the fact that while the
steam tractor experiences most trouble
in bitter cold weather, through slow
fires, loss of heat by radiation, and
frozen pipes, the electric locomotive
Is actually at its best under such con-
ditiOns.
mot only are electrical conditions
favored by the dry, cold air of winter
but since practically the only difficulty
with electric motors is their tendency
to heat when working at maximum, II
follows that the colder the weather the
| less the coils will heat"
