The money which l.. q. Arakelian,
a ladies tailor. has made shortening
fastidious women : skirts since ;thc
shorter the better has been in vogue,
has saved Xaroohy and Bndrig Arahc-
Ian from the Turks in Armenia.
Xaroohy, the tailor's twenty year,
old sister, and Badrig, bis nephew OF
twelve years, are today established in
their benefactor's y home at IS'I Addison
street. and are gradually growing ac.
customed to their new surroundings.
Both have been orphaned by the
Turkish pogroms in Armenia and were
being cared for by a Greek family and
Christian missionaries in Samsoon
until enough Of America frivolous
fair sex should capitulate 10 the present
mode. Now that they are both in the
promised land" they are marvclinG
at the styles and creations which have
made their freedom possible.
Iaroohy, speaking through her
brother. said today that she is very
happy in her new home and wants &c
become AmericaniEed as soon as pos
siblc. She thinks American girls are
| beautiful, even though they do wea'
such queer clothes, and she hopes that
she will soon look as stylish as they
in n conservative manner, however.
II was terribly disappointed when
my brother said that the hat bought
in COnstantinople to wear on the boat
was not stylish 1t was the prettiest
one in the bazaar, but 1t does look
| funny beside the other ones over here.
But he Is going to buy me one just like
! the other girls wear, so ] don't care,
interpreted the tailor.
.'Zaroohy may have American hats
but she dare not wear American ladies'
skirts," said the tailor on the side.

VESSELS TOO FEW,
BUSINESS MEN SAY
Philadelphia Shippers Declare
They Use N. Y. Harbor Be-
cause Of Frequent SaiIings
URGE HOG ISLAND PLAN

Philadelphia manufacturers do not
ship their ocean freight through the
port Of New York because Of prejudice
against the port of Philadelphia.
They do it because lack of frequent
sailipgs from Philadelphia has forced
them to seek a more cxpedient outlet
for their goods.
This. succinctly. was the answer
made today by Philadelphia manu-
facturers' ocean freight experts to the
criticism directed against them in the
statement of Samuel Rea. president OF
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad. made pub
lie yesterday.
Mr.. Rea had been asked If it wore
true that the Pennsylvania Railroad was
placing obstacles in the way OF the
Philadelphia ports growth. In letter
to Charles 8. Calwell. president of the
Corn Exchange Bank. Mr.. Rea said
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad was working
hand in glove with port officials, and
that the fault for the retarding of Phil
| adelphias harbor lay with the ship
perS themselves.
Prefer Philadelphia
I'VE are shipping through New York
more than through Philadelphia be-
cause of the greater frequency of sail
ings from New York. and the consequent
greater convenience offered by that
port" said X. X. Johnson. foreign
sales manager OF the Baldwin Locomo
| tive Works.
IF Philadelphia is able to develop
as many conveniences to the shipper al
New York, we would prefer to shir
through Philadelphia on account of tht
| freight expense which we would save.
"The whole thing seems to depend OF
Philadelphia being able to offer ship,
| pers the frequency Of sailings as vel
as storage and lighterage facilities thai
are at present offered in New York.
IF we had shipment to Soutf
America. for instance. it wouldn't pa!
us to allow the shipment held in carr
and to nav demurrage until satin,
could be obtained in this port when sail
ings may be obtained once or twice {
week in New York
Facilities Are Less
THAT. in my opinion, represents thu
sist of the problem Philadelphia has I,
face in competing with New York.
"The cargo would be forthcoming i
the shipping facilities such as are nov
planned for Hog Island could be guar
anteed.
Philadelphia doesn't havS the sam
facilities. aside from frequent sailingt
as are found in New York. am sur
II this port would develop the cargo
handling facilities that the number y
sailings would increase naturally an
Philadelphia would soon find itself in
favorable competitive position"
j. w. Rawle, second vice president o
the j. G. Brill Co., which exported t
thirty six countries before the war
said that it was not a question Of choic
with them as to which port they booke
their exports through.
1--WE find that S5 per cent of ou
shipments have TO go through the por
of New York by reason of the fact tha
no steamships come into Philadelphi
that could care for the lading.
~ That's the only advantage. W
much prefer shipping via Philadelphia.

FRENCH ROADS NOW NORMAL
End Of Strike, However, Leaves Un.
settled Problems

Paris. March 2.--The strike of rail-
way men throughout France was settled
last night on the following points:
The right Of men to organize will
be respected throughout the railroad
systems of France.
The railroad men accept arbitration
on points not rs yet settled and an
immediate study of future rules of
railroads will be begun.
The companies will not pay wages
TO the men for the time lost during the
strike. but disciplinary penalties for
nonresumption of work after the men
had been summoned would be can
celed.
Directors Of companies will revise
other penalties in the spirit of
justice.
Marked improvement in operating
conditions was made by several railroad
companies this morning. but the return
Of most of the idle railroadcrs is not
expected until later in the day. This is
due 10 the difficulty of transmitting
formal orders to cities in the provinces
II is ANTICIPATED. however, that normal
conditions will be approached tomorrow

Training in the athletic sense
means the following of some simple
rules for the upbuilding of health and
vigor. Training for athletics spells
training for~health. No chap can be-
gin to do himself justice in track and
field until he has followed for some
time sensible training system.
In order to train effectively it is
necessary to observe regularity IN
work, sleep and in meals, to use good
sense in the choice of diet, and to
watch your mental attitude toward
yourself.
Every chap is forced to dig down
inside himself not alone for the will
ingness to make the supreme effort,
but for the steadiness of nerve, the
very self-assurance that will allow
him to command himself in the
pinch. 1t is at such times that the
competition, in a fash of self-analysis
may waver. He becomes conscious
that he is unworthy because of poor
preparation; or, On the other hand,
his cropping belief in himself may
tnd assurance against the stout wall
OF good and he will not finch.
Most chaps will make the greatest
progress by working every day. The
jumper, weight man or vaulter may
find it advisable to work at his event
but two or three times a week. On
his off days he should work at the
sprints, or play about in some other
event. Every track man should be
the master of the start and have good
sprinting form. Every zeal track man
should know the elements of several
or all the events. .. '
Work Under Coach.
1t is best to work out about the
same time every day; preferably be-
tween 8 and $50 or o'clock. 1t is
not advisable to work out immediate

sically, nervously and mentally, if he
follows regular hours in his sleeping.
The length of the sleeping period for
young chaps should be probably be-
tween eight to nine and half hours.
The best hours are>from $50 or 10
p. m. onward.
Sleep with plenty of ventilation;
the sleeping porch is ideal; if that is
unavailable, one window at least
should be wide open. Use juA
enough cover to be comfortable.
Sleep on your face or right side.
A young man in training should
never sleep on his back. 1t very often
causes unpleasant dreams. You can
prevent yourself from sleeping on
you back by knoting a marble or
some small object in bandage and
tying it about your waist SO that ii
is at the small of your back.
Too much sleep makes |. chap dull
of mind and logy physically. Too
little sleep leaves him thin in endur-
ance, irritable and uncertain of him.
