Mary &. BayIey, r. NJ, Tells What,
In an Experts Opinion, the

Does the great toe Of your foot tor

straight line from the heel? And
do your other toes spread apart? IF
this condition exists you haye good
understanding feet, according to Mary
E. Bayley, r. N, who tells in the De-
lineatOr what feet should be like. Her
article has been approved by DR.. Virgil
2. Gibney, surgeon in chief of the Hos
pital for the Relief of the Ruptured
and Crippled, New York, and there
fore bears the stamp of authority.
Too much care cannot be taken of
the feet, Miss Bayley continues, as
they are the keystone to correct body
position and have much to do with
ones health. Particular attention
should he paid to shoe fitting between
the ages of nine and fourteen, since
this is the period Of growth and ex-
pansion. Stockings, too, come In for
discussion, as tight-ftting ones COM
press the toes and interfere with the
circulation. H

The train was then loaded on two
specially designed flat ears, drawn by
the famous high-speed locomotive 500,
which in 1893 made the run between
Rochester and Buffalo at the rate of
112.5 miles an hour, record which
still stands. A modern private car at
the rear completed the train.
Crowds flocked to see the train all
along the thousand miles. The public
demand was so great that ten days
were taken up on the trip.
The Dewitt Clinton locomotive,
named for the seventh governor of
New York, was built for the Mohawk
& Hudson railroad by the West Point
foundry, New York city, in 1881. 1t
drew it's first passengers August 8. 1t
made regular trips between Albany
and Schenectady, a distance of seven
teen miles. The Mohawk & Hudson
was the original unit of the New York
Central system, which now aggregates
6,O75 miles. The cars were built on
the lines of stage coaches. The inside
and outside seats of each coach accom-
modated from 15 to Is persons. A con-
tract awarded to James Goold of Al
bany for the construction of six
coaches provided that each coach was
to be built and mounted on the rail-
road company's carriage frame for
1910. A single steel day coach at
present prices costs S34, 000 The rails
81 ctr ri mo-
ers nailed to them. The train made
from II to 80 miles an hour. The fuel
was wood.
The Dewitt Clinton, as first built
weighed only 6,75S pounds, but as re-
modelled weighs 9,42O pounds. The
weight of it's tender is $50 pounds
and each coach weighs 1920 pounds,
making the total weight of the train
25,020 pounds.
The standard Pacific type locomo.
tive, used to haul the New York Gen.
trails fast passenger trains, weighs
276,000 pounds, and its loaded tender
15S,O00 pounds, making the weight of
the engine and tender $4,000 pounds,
little more than 171a times the
weight of the whole Dewitt Clinton
train.
The Dewitt Clinton engine is u feet
10 inches long; the length of the ten
der is 10 feet IL inches, and each coach
is IA feet long, making the length of
the train 65 feet inches. The length
of Pacific type locomotive, including
its tender, is rs feet 2as inches, or II
feet 5ss inches more than the length
of the Dewitt Clinton train. The
latest type steel passenger coach meas
ures 70 feet.
From such insignificant beginnings
has grown Americas world preemi-
hence in railroading in less than one
hundred years.

of them are very large, operating from
5000 to 10000 miles. The class A
railroads operate 1881 miles. They
have a capital stock of about $9,O00,-
100000, funded debts of about SILL
50O,0G0,O00, property investments Of
about 100000 and annual oper-
ating revenues of about S5,000,00 600
They have more than 100000 en-
ployees, whose compensation totals
more than $2,6O6,0OOOOO a year. They
have about $4,000 locomotives $4,000
passenger cars and 2,350,O0O0 freight
cars. They transport more than $780,
100000 tons of freight year.
Moreover, few public questions have
played greater role in American poll
tics in the last 20 years than the regu-
latiOn, either state or federal, of the
railroads. And perhaps they have
never been a bigger question than
right now. AS everyone knows, the
railroads went under the operation and
control of the federal government dur
ing the World war; wages of employees
were increased; freight and passenger
rates were increased. The railroads
were returned to their owners March
| 1, 1920. The governments loss in the
| operation of the railroads while under
| federal control was over 100000, 900.
granted wage increases to about 1,S0O,-
600 employees, aggregating $60O,OOO,-
600. August 81, 1920, the interstate
| commerce commission granted to the
| railroads increases in freight and pas
senger rates to enable them to meet
the increased cost of operation caused
! by the war, to rehabilitate and expand
the equipment and to meet the ad-
vance in wages granted by the railroad
! labor board. Nineteen hundred TWEEN
ty-one saw the public demanding lower
| freight rates and the railroads and
their employees considering the reduc-
! ton of wages.
No wonder, then, that the historic
Dewitt Clinton train of 1881 is dou-
| BILE object lesson in American rail-
roads. 1t dates back to the railroad be-
| ginnings of this country-and of the
world. Crowds go to see it whenever
opportunity offers. A recent trip from
New York to Chicago was sort of
+! railroad royal progress.
This granddaddy Of locomotives,
partly rebuilt, was put under steam
and was run over a mile on the west
side tracks of the New York Central
on Manhattan island, attaining a
speed of u miles an hour. To turn
back the pages to 1881 and complete
the picture, a group of railroad office
girls, gowned in pinafores, hoopskirts
and poke bonnets, such as were worn
by their great-grandmothers, rode on
the coaches in the presence of the big
crowds of people, who laughed and
eheered.

events thar virtue should be crowned
with success, it is at least the uniform
will of Heaven that virtue should be
the duty of man. The path of virtue
is, indeed, not always clear, and in
the complication of human affairs arti-
fee and stimulation itself must occa-
sionally be practiced. But it may, I
believe, be laid down as a universal
maxim that fraud is never justifiable
to effect the same object. Fraud is,
therefore, a weapon essentially be-
longing to the relations of war

A little boy bobbed his head around
4 wagon where the circus train was
unloading.
"Please, sir" he said to tentman
In overalls, "please, have you got any
elephants to water?'
The tentman shook his head. 1t
seems elephants are watered by ma
rhinery or something these days. At
least there's no earning ones way in
by way of the water-bucket.
The little boy was sinking off for
lornly when the tentman turned
around.
Here" he grunted, "hold this for
awhile," and he stuck rope into his
hand without apparently seeing that
the little boys chin had stopped wag-
Cling.
But he found other things to be
done, chairs to be lugged, and such.
And an ecstatic little boy that sat
on the front row that afternoon with
an awestruck eye, winked at the tent
man, passing by.

Origin of Buttons.

The Elizbethan era gave vogue to
he button and buttonhole, two inven-
tions which may be regarded as
important, since they did much to
reyolutionize dress. The original
button was wholly product Of
needlework, which was soon Inn
proved by the use of a wooden mold.
The brass button is said to have been
introduced by Birmingham merchant,
In 1859. 1t took 200 years to improve
