MARKING MAGAZINES FOR ARMY SHOES Carpenter

Beverly, Mass. 7 T WAS with Sidney W. Winslow, Jr.-
 that I drove out from Boston to
 Beverly to see whether Uncle Sam
 is to have enough machines to make the footgear for his army and navy Beverly is the seat of the com pany which makes a very large part of ths shoe machinery of the United States, and Mir. Winslow is the son of the man who organized and built up the institu- ton which has made possible the filling of the vast acquisitions now made by the government.
 The modern shoe is the child of ma chinery. and it is only through machines made for the purpose that any style of shoe can be turned out in large quan- tities. The orders for the army already approximate 30.000.oo pairs, and when we have 5,0O0,oOo men in the field we shall require in the neighborhood of three or four times that many shoes every year. It is not an impossibility that the number will reach 100. .o000o0 pairs of shoes per annum. Marching, fighting and the work of the trenches eat up leather as wolves eat fresh meat. and we have to feed the feet of our soldiers as well as their stomachs. In addition to this we have the enormous domestic demand, which averages about three pairs for every man, woman and child in teh country, so that the needs of the time may rise as high as 400,- eoo,o0o pairs of shoes in one year,
 The manufacture of these shoes is the task of the leather and shoemaking in dustry. The supplying of the machin- cry upon which the output depends is largely the task of the United States Shoe Machinery company, which sells or leases it's machinery to the hundreds of shoe factories of the United States and to our allies. It not only supplies it's ma- chimes, but it keeps them in order and looks after their efficiency and their ca pacity for production. The great plant where the machines are made is here at Beverly. within 20 miles of the city of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-08-18

i Each Of the inventors has his own pri- | vate room for his work. He has two dra ftsmen who make designs according
 to his directions, and a mechanic to nle out and shape certain parts. The rooms of the inventors run for about one~ffth
 of mile along one side of the room; and their department has been face- | tousiy called Bug House Row." I went along his row from room to room and talked with the men. They have come from everywhere, and are of every de- gree of education and ability. They have been selected for their Yankee ingenuity
 that enables them to create new results from combinations of iron and steel. Some of the best of them are mere boys, while others are gray haired and have
 been inventing for a score of more years. Every one has created new machines or
 parts of one kind or another
 This work in the research laboratory
 shows some of the advantages of the present orga nization of the shoe machin- cry industry. The shoe machines are for the most part leased out to the factories on royalty of so much for each pair ot shoes made by them, and the more effi- cient and speedier the machines the greater the receipts of the company. Some of the factories buy certain ma chimes outright but most of them prefer to pay low royalty on their output. Tie United Shoe Machinery company makes the machines and installs them. It sends out it's agents to give them reg ular insr ection, and sees that they are kept in order and supplied with repairs. The royalty on the S00,0OO,000 pairs of shoes of all types and grades which will be used iii the United States this year is on the average less than cents per pair for the use of all the machines which the company supplies, and no pair of shoes pays a higher royalty than 6 cents. When you are charged $10 or SIP for pair of shoes you may know that the m ereas sed cost has gone into some other mans pockets than into those of the man who make this machinery; for the fac tories have had to pay to them less than cents on that pair of shoes. The new Pershirg shoes, which are costing Uncle Sam upward of $50 per pair, pay be tween :. ano 6 cents per pair for all of these machines which are used in mak- ing them, ard there has been no increa SC in the regular royalties on account of the war.
 It is this method of leasing shoe ma chimes that has enabled large and small factories to be started all over the coun-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-08-18

chimes, and we have sent hundreds of other repair machines to different parts of the country.
 The most of the shoe machinery of the world is made in the United States. It is manufactured here and shipped to Shoemaking establishments all over the earth It was only a few years ago that most of the shoes were made by hand The parts were cut out and given to the cobbler, who sewed the leather together. It took man one day to make three shoes, or pair and one half, It took so much labor that if the 30,000.000 pairs made for our soldiers had been manufactured in that way it would have taken 50,000 cobblers three years to make them. By means of shoe machinery we have single companies that have made as many as 10000 pairs of shoes in one day, and the McElwain factory. which I visited at Manchester. was turning out 5000 pairs of army shoes per day at tn time of my visit.
 As it is now there is scarcely an operation connected with the mak- ing of the army shoe that is not done by machinery. The heavy soles are cut out by machines at the rate of eight pairs per minute and the heels are trimmed by rotat ting cutters which will trim more than 1500 pairs in day. They are nailed on by machines which will drive more than $50 nails in one minute, and the welt and the uppers are fastened to the insoles by a machine that will sew 500 pairs of shoes in d day. The brass eyelets are put in by machine which sets 5000 per day and the uppers are made by the wonder full pulling over'' machine whose pincers
 of steel work as though they were hu- fingers They automatically pull the | leather into just the right shape so | tight that it can be lasted and fasten l it with tacks. doing what for years | the cobblers insisted could never be done, except with the hand.

WHEN 1 LOST YOU
BY JESSE F. GELDERS
okistioh,aa City, Okla.

Out of the gateway of Jolly Belle

Out on the platform where all is a
smile,
There sat blind man, a-singing his
song,
Earning his living the whole ev'ning
long. +3Hsl
There he sat voicing far into the
night,
Songs OF lovers distress and de-
light.
Over the music of many day,
Mournful, then happy, he rippled
away. .,-r
Then he began on melody there
Softly the music rang out on the
air
Sweetheart, when l lost you"
AS he sang on through the wonderful
Somehow the wording seemed fading
away.
Roses and sunshine, glistening dew
Flowers of vivid and beautiful hue
They have been lost and the blue
OF the skies,
Vanished away with the light of his
eyes.
Il lost the gladness," he melodied
Truly" | thought, since his see
ing is gone"
Then as he came to the end in the
night,
Rightly I thought that his Darling"
was sight
Sweetheart when he lost you"
Not all alone was he left in his
plight.
There was his voice that was flowing
and light.
Sunshine could reach to the depth of
his heart
Flowers, through scent, could accom-
plish their part
Still believed as the harmony rang
Sight was the darling whose absence
