THE PRESIDENT’S MAIL
It Takes • Carp» of Trained Clerks to
Handle the Letters.
President Wilson's mail bag la the
largest in the world. Thousands of let­
ters arrive daily, and every one of any
importance must have the lndivldurl at-
I tention of America's first citizen. Of
course the president Is not able to read
all bls correspondence himself. This
difficulty is overcome by a carefully de­
veloped system by which the contents
of the White House mall bag of any
Importance are laid before Mr. Wilson
' each day.
The work of selection falls upon a
corps of confidential clerks, who open
the letters and give them a first read­
ing; then they are carefully sorted.
Many of them are simply recommenda­
tions for office. These, after courteous
acknowledgment, are referred to the
proper departments and placed on file
until the matter can be taken up for
consideration.
Hundreds of the missives are purely
formal or contain Impossible requests.
These are Immediately answered by the
staff and signed by one of the presi­
dent’s assistant secretaries.
Such communications as ths president
ought to see are clearly briefed—that
is, a slip is pinned at the top of each
letter, and on this is a typewritten
synopsis of its contents, telling who the
writer is and what he has to present.
Frequently the president is sufficiently
interested by the brief to cause him to
read the whole letter. Sometimes the
communication is referred to a cabinet
officer, in which case the slip is retain­
ed at the White House and filed.
Requests for charity are continually
pouring In. These, however, are sent
to a different department, which goes
fully into each ease before replying.
When a large number of persons write
on the same subject the letters are
bunched, and the brief at the top gives
the names of those who present one
argument, and on nuother list are given
the names of the persons who offer a
different view.—Boston Post

WHAT’S IN A SHOE?
Leather, ef Course, but There
Are Lots of Other Things.
FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Reading

Story

Materials
That Are Ueed In Turning Out Mod­
ern Footgear Is Like Taking a Lee-
eon In Commoroial Geography.
What’s in a shoe?
Take a factory tag that tells how a
shoe is made. Count on it sixty differ­
ent items of material; also different
items of labor. That shows many of
the things tn a case. And there may
be others.
Whence come the materials? When
you look at a shoe you see the four cor­
ners of the globe pulled together in It
Begin with the bottom, or sole, made
from the hide of a Texas steer, tanned
in oak from Pennsylvania forests. And
the heel is of South American dry hide,
tanned in hemlock bark.
It's a kidskin shoe you have? It
looks it, although one never can tell
for sure these days. The vamp is made
of a goat of Brazil. It is tanned with
chrome from New Caledonia, is black­
ed with logwood from Jamaica and la
glazed with glass from Austria.
The top is of a kid skin tanned in Ni­
geria, brought to Massacbusetta and
there retanned and finished. The tongue
is of sheep leather. The sheep grew in
Argentine. The leather linings are of
skins of sheep that grew tn Australia.
The skins were tanned in sumac from
Sicily.
Some of the leather Is treated with
“fat liquor,” an emulsion made of cod
oil from Labrador and acids from ODe
of the new American chemical labora­
tories.
i’et only a few of the things that the
tanner used in making the shoe have
been mentioned. lie also uses in his
mystery of tannlug “dlvl-dlvi” from
the East Indies, valonla from Turkey,
myrobolans from India and algarobilla
from the laud knows where, suit from
Michigan, sawdust from Maine mills,
egg yolk from Russia, blood from Chi­
cago and degras from France—and a
few other things from a few other coun­
tries besides.
If there’s any fellow under the sun,
from an Eskimo to a ratngonlan or
from a Hottentot to a Korean, who has
a hide or Bkln to sell, he can get his
price for it if he will show it to a Yan­
kee tanner, for the Yankee tanner la
buying pelts everywhere.
4
The leather of which the shoe is made
Is fastened together with thread of Irish
linen or Georgia cotton. The lacings are
of Egyptian or long fiber Sea island
cotton, tough and strong. The buttons
are of bone, pearl or paper, American
or European. The eyelets are of brass,
coated with celluloid.
The tacks are made by the million In
Massachusetts of steel. The same is
true of the heel nails and of the shanks
In the arches of the shoe. If a iierson
prefers wood pegs that won’t scratch
hardwood floors in the heels of bls
shoes be may get them at a New
Hampshire shop.
The welt may be of pigskin. The pig
was killed In Packingtown, and hls pelt
was tanned in Massachusetts. Ills
bristles were saved and made Into
brushes for cleaning the shoe.
Between the outsole and the Insole
of the shoe is the "filler,” a composi­
tion of rubber from Ceylon cut with
naphtha and mixed with ground cork
from Portugal.
The Insole perhaps is of good bark
tanned leather. But it may lie of fiber,
coated with a sheet of leather. The
box toe may also be of leather. But
more likely It is of felt, filled with
shellac to make it stiff. Ukewlre tho
counter may be of leather. But more
likely it Is of leather board or celluloid
or of scrups of leather pasted together
with flour paste and compressed.
The felt is made from waste woolen,
perhaps old coats. The shellac is from
the lac tree of India, and the leather
Imard Is mnde down in Jlalnp of shred­
ded leather, hemp and jute from India
and other things.
Yet a few more things are used in
the making of a shoe. The last, over
which the shoe is fashioned, is of ma­
ple from Michigan. The patterns, by
which the uppers are cut, are of paper
board, made from old newsjmpers.
They are bound withybrass. The
brass la stripped from them after they
become obsolete, and it is used for
brazing the steel dies with which leath­
er is cut for several parts of the shoe.
The brazing Is dune in an electric flame
or in a Are of Pennsylvania coal.
The snowy white lining is made from
cotton of Dixie land. The top facing
is of silk made in New Jersey mills,
and the gold leaf on it may tie truly a
product of El Dorado.
The edges of the heels and soles are
burnished with wax, which comes from
Brazil, and the shoes are blacked with
a blacking of which wax is a chief part
There are forty-seven other things in
a shoe. But enough already has t>een
told. What does a fellow expect these
days of high prices? Enough already
has been said to make a lesson in
commercial geography Incorporating
the four comers of the globe, as well
as a few things above and a few things

price of one pair of shoes.- .Salem News.
HANGED THE PRINCESS.
Fate of a Russian Heiress Who Worked'
For the Revelutiotu
What is said to be the true story of
the hanging of Princess Olga Enga-
licheff, daughter of the richest man In
Russia, In the prison of Tomsk on Jan.
15, 1918, la told In a New York society
magazine. The story Is signed by Bo­
ris de Tangko, a name which, the mag­
azine asserts, is the nom de plume of s
Russian nobleman who fled to New
York when the recent Russian impe­
rial government set a price on bls head
as a revolutionist
The story depicts the Russian prin­
cess bravely facing death aa she pre­
dicted the very culmination of Ruaela's
troubles.
According to the story of Borts de
Tangko. the governor of Kiev was as­
sassinated in the home of the princess.
Her father sensed at once her connec­
tion with the murder, and shortly after
he had given hls daughter fair warn­
ing that he Intended to remain true to
the emperor she was arrested and ex­
iled to Siberia.
After live years spent In prison there
she escaped and went to Paris, where
she became a power In social and po­
litical circles. In 1915, following the
death at the front of Dimitri Dashkow,
1 fellow revolutionist, whose acquaint­
ance she had formed while both were
exiles in Siberia, she decided to return
to Russia. Three months later she was
arrested.
influential friends begged that they
be allowed to appeal to the czar for a
pardon, but she refused to allow them
to speak In her behalf. Two days be­
fore her execution she managed to
send several letters to her friends tn
Paris, In all of which she wrote: "When
tills letter reaches you I shall be dead.
But our work will continue. Our na­
tion will soou be free.”
HANDY WITH THEIR FEET.
Many Animals U«» Them Cleverly In
Taking Their Food.
Kangaroos use their hands very read­
ily to hold food in and to put it into
their mouths. As their fore legs are so
short that they have to browse in a
stooping position, they seem pleased
when able to secure a large bunch of
cabbage or other vegetable provender
and to hold it in their hands to eat.
Sometimes the young kangaroo, look­
ing out of its mother’s pouch, catches
one or two of tho leaves which the old
one drops, and the pair may be seen
each nibbling at the salad held in their
hands, one, so to speak, "one floor"
above the other.
The slow, deliberate clasping and
unclasping of a chameleon’s feet look
like the movements which the hands ot
a sleepwalker might make were he
trying to creep downstairs. The cha­
meleon’s are almost deformed hands,
yet they have a superficial resemblance
to the feet of parrota, which more than
other birds use their feet for many of
the purposes of a hand when feeding.
To see many of the smaller rodents—<
ground squirrels, prairie dogs and mar­
mots—hold food, usually in both pawa.
Is to learn a lesson in the dextrous use
of hands without thumbs.
Nothing more readily suggests the
momentary impression that a pretty
little monkey Is “a man and a brother”
than when ho stretches out hls neat lit­
tle palm, flngera and thumb and, with
all the movements proper to the clvi-
IIzed mode of greeting, insists on shak­
ing bands.—London Graphic.

Battleships and Paint.
Our battleships literally eat paint
The initial color requirements for a
new battleship cost about $25,000,
which is tho price of about a hundred
tons of the kind of paint the navy uses.
In addition to this, according to the
Popular Science Monthly, it is custom,
ary to repaint the different parts of a
ship two or three times s year, so the
annual upkeep probably exceeds this
sum. This brings the annual outlay In
paint for the entire fleet to $1,000,000.
The most Important coating a vessel
receives is the paint applied to the sub­
merged parts of the bull to protect It
from corrosion or barnacles.
The Lesser Evil.
“If you were compelled to engage In
conversation with one or the other for
an hour which would you choose, a
woman with a mission or one who
thinks she Is misunderstood?"
“The woman with a mission.”
“Whyr
"She would do most of the talking.
A woman who thinks she Is misunder­
stood usually wants a little confiden­
tial advice.”—Birmingham Age Herald.
Health and Money.
There is this difference between
those two temporal blessings, health
and money: Money Is the most envied,
but least enjoyed; health is the most
enjoyed, but least envied, end thia su­
periority of the latter la still more ob­
vious when we reflect thHt the poorest
man would not pert with health for
money, but the richest man would glad­
ly part with all hls money for health.
Fine Conformity.
"That penmanship teacher to very
