Width and Color of Belts Increase

There are also a number of minor points

'and short stout one, those -who are long

women who are stout but small In propor

Senator Page of Vermont k was debating
the long and short haul amendment to the
railroad bill the other day. He was trying
to make It clear to the senate that the
rate making power should be left to the
carriers and shippers. He referred In this

in his voice, he said: 1
"Why, Mr. President, If '( toad not been
for the railroad interest In the community
thero would have been no great city on the
west coast of Missouri where Kansas City

When Senator Page speaks, however,
he always receives the attention of his
colleagues. He is regarded as one of the
most level headed business men In the
senate. He does not assume to be an orator,-
but he talks right , straight at tte
members and reminds one of a business

Before he came to the senate, Mr. Page

up an enormous business In New England,
and he la one of the many millionaires from

toilet, then the color of the belt must be
determined by the length of the waist
If a woman Is short-walsted, the belt
ahould match the waist worn, because this
will give an extra Inch In walet length.
If. however, the wearer is long-waisted,
the belt should correspond to the color of
the skirt, and thus bring the figure Into
better proportions.
When the length above the waist Una
ia greater In proportion than it is from
that point downward, a person will appear
shorter than she really Is. This la aom.
Uhlng to be avoided, because a stout figure
neeas every iracuon 01 neignt.
A dip to the belt In front a style liked
by many atout women la now seldom seen.
Only a few are still loyal to It The
rounder line Is, of course, more . youthful
looking, but there are acme women on
whom the straight around waist line doea
net look attractive. In this class are those
who are Inclined to be long In the back In
proportion to the front '
There are, of course, waya -of obtaining
this without resorting tothe dip. For in
stance, when a narrow belt la to be out an
inch or more , wide, out a atrip of paper
that will slant from center back -to the
same point In front and lay. the' tipper
edge cloBe to the natural waist line.,
' Supposing utr,e atrip has been fitted to
the right side, remove and replace on the
left' side, first turning the strip upside
down. It will then fit snugly into the waist
line. Before, the belt wouM"have given a
spread effect f the figure, Despite this
simple corrective hundreds of women adopt
the unbecoming r.rranaement
A belt could be out at first to fit up
wards aa described, but amateur will find
It easier to plan according to directions
given. They will also have an opportun
ity of viewing both affects and will not fall
to see the difference. With the "spread
In" belt the waist will appear to be at
least three inches larger than when fitted
with the belt placed In the opposite direc
tion. - . . .
Another style of belt that ia becoming
to all atout figures when something
little more dressy than a narrow atralght
belt Is desired. Is a narrow crushed girdle.
It la made from a atrip four to five Inches
wide, according to material.
If sheer goods la used the latter width
la shirred in center back and sewed In
visibly to a atrtp of feat her bone two Inches
long. Under the arm the shirring la re
peated and aewed to boning measuring
one and oi-e-half Inches In lanth. at ,-
1 front closing the belt must be shirred
again to one-inon stripe of bone.
Tba shirring on .the end of the right sj
formed with a beading and Invisible hooka
and eyes make the olofing.
This style of belt also sugg'esta the dip,
yet la straight an around the waiat
For general wear there Is nothing, better
for etput women, than olastlo belts, and aa
these can be bought In every . etilor and
at so little cost It ta possible to have one
ta match each gown.

"It sounds perfectly lovely," assented the

"There's no 'only' about it I" anapped the

"Tea, dear, you said that you had."

Tha Boss wife rose and walked with

Things You Want to
The International Hallway Fuel associa
tion, Which meets In Chicago today, is com
pt.Mcl Of practical experts who aro seeking
to solve the problem presented by the ris
ing price of coal and the Increased de
mands upon the carrying facilities of the
railroad. The $0,000 railway locomotive en
gines of the United S la tee uso one-fourth
of all the coal mined In the country each
year, a consumption of 100,000,000 tons. The
price of coal Is rising, and last year the
railroads paid an average of 13 a ton for
all the fuel they used.
The Importance of economy In the mutter
of locomotive fuel supply may be Illustrated
by the faot that the total expense amounts
essentially to a tax of one cent per day
for each man, woman and child In the
United States. Tho railroad must assess
the charges for fuel upon the traffic, and
every person who unes anything which
has paid freight contributes his fhara
toward paying this enormous coal bill.
It Is reccgniied by the experts that the
locomotive engine, on account of Its phy
sical restrictions, always must uso moro
fuel in proportion to the power generated
than stationary engines. At the samo time
It Is recognised that a large part of the
coal now used Is wasted, not only In the
process of burning, but In the preliminary
process of storing and handling. Govern
ment experts, basing their conclusions upon
a long series of practical tests of loco
motive engines engaged In actual railway
service, declare that 20 per cent of the
total fuel supplied to locomotive performs
no function In moving trains forward. It is
lost (n the Incidental leaks occasioned by
starting fires, maintenance of steam pres
sure while the locomotive Is standing still,
the fire remaining In the fire-box at the
eud of the run, eto. It la probable that
a large part of thts character of waste
cannot be saved so tong as the fuel la
used to generate direct steam power In
locomotive engines. Only the electrifica
tion of the railways would save this loss.
But tho more serious and practical lose
In fuel Is occasioned by the manner of
loading it at the mine, transferring to
storage, and loading It Into the locomotive
tenders. .It Is said, on the authority of
sxpirt engineers, that the average cost of
loading fuel on locomotives is 10 cents
per ton. On the same high authority,
backed by the .esults of actual experi
ments, it has been proved possible by the
us of modern methods and machinery to
reduce this cost to two cents a ton. If
thla reduction could be applied to all the
railroads It would represent an annual sav
ing of $8,000,000.
The railroads, especially those systems
which endeavor to apply the beet modern
thought to their problems of practical
economy, are engaged in Installing new
systems of fuel supply. It haa been de
monstrated that a vast money aavlng can
be mad by organising the fuel depart
ment of a railway system under a respon
sible head, provided with an efficient staff
of lnspectora' and backed by an accurate
system Of accounts. The association at
Chicago wll hef r repo: ta of such systems,
those actually hi operation, such as that
of the Sante Fe system,, and others pro
posed by experts. '
While It Is manifestly to the interest of
the railroads to save money by decreasing
their coal bill, it la also manifestly to the
interest of the whole people of the country
that the coal Itself shall be saved. Every
pound of coal aaved by a system of econ
omy which does not curtail the power gen
erated, Is that much energy conserved for
the use of future generations. . On account
of this feature all of the agencies of the
government Interested In the work of con
servation of natural resources are assisting
the railway engineers to solve the fuel
supply problems.
Practically every device invented tor the
Improvement of locomotives bases Its claim
for recognition and consideration upon its
direct or Indirect ability to save fuel.
Every one recognises that a small aavlng
In the fuel supply of one locomotive
amounts in tha aggregate to an enormous
sum. When any device can show that It
will save a ton of coal a day It haa made
Its best argument for recognition by tho
practical railway man. It la to thla end
that all of the compounding systems and
team super-heating device are being In
stalled. While the Inventors have done much,
and will do more. In saving fuel after it
haa reached the engine, It remains for the
railroads to devise more adequate systems
of saving coal between the mine and the
tender. Railways usually purchase "run-

of-mlne" coal for locomotive use, because
It Is cheaper per too and because it helps
the mlno to dispose of a product often
otherwise unmarketable. This grade of
coal has a high 'percentage of alack, and
requires a great deal of handling. Every
handling of the coal results in a breakage
or crumbling of from 1 to 8 per csnt. It
has been proved that tho losses of coal In
handling run from as low as 13 cents to
as high as 4 per ton handled, owing to
distance from the mine and the type of
coal handling appliances. The desirability
of obtaining the type of coal handling de
vice which will cause the least possible
crumbling. Is apparent.
Of course, the cost of locomotive fuel js
affected by the distance from the mine.
The average cost of hauling locomotive
coal is 3 mills per ton mile, which amounts
to I cents for one ton for ton miles,' or 3
for ono ton for 1,000 miles, in thts state
ment Is to be found the reason why western
r&ilroadt), far removed from coal mines,
but In easy acceas Of oil fields, havo come
to uso petroleum rather than coal for the
purposes of locomotive fuol, Moro than
20,000,000 barrels of crude petroleum . is
burned in roilwsy locomotives annually.
The. conservation experts are opposed, as
a matter of national economy, to tho use
of crude petroleum as a power of produc
ing fuel, except on the Pacific coast, where
transportation charges make the price of
coal so high. .
A concerted effoit la now being made to
solve the problems presented: In the loco
motive .fuol supply question. Thla move
ment however, is of comparatively recent
origin. But one railroad system In tho
country has installed a'unlform system of
accounting for Ita fuel. On the Santa Fe
system the fuel Is under the control of a
specially organised fuol department from
the time It loaves the mine until It la put
on the tender. Yet It is sdmltted that even
thla system la not yet complete, although
It is more efficient than any other In the
country. But the department showed in
the first year of Us operation that It was
able to save 100 times as much money as
It cost to operate. It ia necessary to say
that it will prove a popular success. '
The International Fuel association, now
meeting in Chicago la Just one year old, Ita
first meeting having been held one year
ago. It haa the record of being the largeat
railway organisation of Ita age ever In
existence and it has attracted more atten
tion in this country and in Europe, both
from railway men and others than any
other railway organisation. That It Intends
to attack the fuel problem ' In practical
fashion la evident from the program of the
meeting. Six papera have been prepared
to be read and discussed. Their subjects
indicate their practical value. ,
The first is entitled "Qrade of Fuel Moat
