Then it goes to another machine, where the toes and heels are beaten smooth, malrine" th rVi rn rpa rl v fnr wl t ir c Washington. D. C, AP"il 17. BnOtS I Th wlf in an rrtrarfri that It mn for the feet we took for granted until be sewed tQ the ,nso,e a,nd the upper in one sewing, and later have the out sole sewed to it. After the joining of insole and-upper to the welt, the shoe is passed through the inseam trimming-machine. Next it goes to a machine where a small hammer gives the welt a terrific beating. The in sole and welt are then covered with rubber cement, as is the waitingsole. When this has dried slightly, the Sole is laid on and the shoe is put into a pressing-machine, where the cement dries. "Next it goes to the rougn rounding machine, which rounds sole and' welt. allowing them to extend out from up rer at all points. Looking at the shoe on your foot, you will see that this ex tension is less at the shank than at the , ball, and. less on . tue outer side han on the inner side of the foot The rough rounding-machlne also cuts a little groove around the bottom of the sole for th purpose of receiving and covering the stitching to follow. The welt extends back only fo the heel. The latter has no welt, but is stitched directly and has its Own spec ial treatment. "One shoe factory in Massachusetts has a daily output of 14,000 pairs, each pair marching through the factory in fourteen days in -ordinary times." their higher prices made them weigh heavily on our minds. A study of its making transforms the humble shoe into an epic of Amer ican ingenuity and skill, according to William Joseph Showalter, who writes to the National Geographic' society as follows: j"There are four general4' types of footwear, according to tue manner in which the soles are attached to the uppers. The leading type is the welt. It has a small strip of leather sewed fast, first, to the upper, and then to the sole, so that , the upper and sole ere not joined directly. Welt soles'are used mainly in higher-grade men's and boys' shoes and in women's walk ing shoes. -"The McKay sewed shoe is the second type. In it the sol is sewed directly to the upper. The cheaper grades of stiff-soled sewed shoes are made by -this method. The Third Type "The turned shoe is the third type. Jn it the sole is joined to the upper with the whole shoe inside out, then turned." Women's pliable-soled shoes are male in this fashion. "The nailed, pegged, or . screwed-on . sole represents the fourth type and goes with cheaper grades of shoes. "As uppers leather comes Into the factory it has the irregular outlines of a hide or skin, as indented as the coast of Maine, and by hand could be measured only by a master pf trigo nometry, through a long process of calculations, but a machine has teen invented that can calculate more areas in half a minute than a mathematician could in half a day. "Fifty machines, a hundred people, and two hundred processes are em ployed In the' making of a pair " of shos. "In the , linings department are big machines that cut uppers cloth," twenty to forty thicknesses at a clip, as easily as a cake-cutter cuts dough. Uppers Department! "Beyond is the uppers leather de partment. Here a trained man, with stubby-bladed, razor-edge knife, takes the skin, lays it on his cutting board, and, running his knife around his sev eral aluminum patterns, cuts out vamp and quarter and toe piece with ac ' complished art in getting the maxi mum of pieces out of the minimum of skins., When he has finished with a skin it look like shapeless strings bordering a series of irregular holes. "In cheaper V grades of shoes the leather alo is cut by 'dinking ma chines mechanical cake-cutters ap plied to ' shoemaklng. ' Only one ply is cut at a time;-but tnere are series of dies for the different parts. , "After the quarters, vamps, toe caps, etc., have been cut the leather must be 'skived,' so as to prevent any ' raw edges showing in the finished shoe. The edges are fed through a machine thatshaves the unfinished side down to a bevel. This is then covered with cement and the thin edges folded over, much as a seamstress lays a hem. "The linings go from the assembly rnprn to be transferred from Individ ual pieces into the canvas counterpart cf the leather upper. The quarters ore joined at the back and stayed with a reinforcement. The vamps are ce mented into shape ready for inclusion in the finished upper. s Pleasing Touch Given "The tips go to the toe-cap room, - where they are perforated at the edge to give them a pleasing appearance ,cn the f foot of the wearer. Fourteen -""different processes are required to transform a piece of tip leather into a finished cap, with its box to hold the ehape of the shoe and canvass lining to protect the hose of the wearer. "The joining of ' the " quarters and vamps must be done with, great care, . so that there is neither unevenness nor roughness. It is the most difficult task In-the making of the upper of a shoe. Judgment and care are re quired and much strength of hand. Other l minor a processes follow, and presently the finished upper fares forth to meet its sole-mate in the making department. Before it gees, If it be a lacea upper, a girlputs it through a machine that laces it up and ties It in the twinkling of an eye a machine that' would be a glorious' aid to a fat --man.. " ' , , 'Preparatory to its alliance with tijhe WASTE MATERIAL MAY BE VALUABLE; ' SAYE YOUR PAPER Any And Every Sort Of Scrap Paper May Be Utilized Commercially. THE FORMER . SPLENDOR OF THE RUSSIAN CZARS. . Washington, April, 17. In referring to hi recent appeal for the conserva tion of waste. Secretary of Commerce Alexander made the following state ment, urging the saving of all waste paper: "Following my appeal of last week to save waste and turn it back intd the channels Of trade, I wish to call attention to the importance of saving all waste paper. "Attention has been called-quit a number, of times lately to the. Vital shortage in paper and if the general public could realise how a shortage of paper affects its daily life I feel sure that a saving and utilization of all waste paper would be made. Pure Substitutes "Many of the better grades of waste raper are used as pure substitutes for ground wood pulp and are used in making all kinds of book, bond, ledger ahf writing papers. If this kind of waste was not' used to some extent, there would exist an even greater shortage of Wood pulp from which jnost of our printing papers and news print paper is made. The waste pa per used in the above list consists of old magazines, periodicals,1 books and all, kinds of printed matter in general. Every pound of this waste that is saved and marketed prevents the use of. original wood pulp made direct from our trees. "The largest tonnage of waste pa per is called "common mixed," and con cists of any and every 6rt and scrap of paper, such as newspaper, waste from the offices, $t6r8, public build ings and the homes. The fchief use of tills kind of waste is for paper boxes, roofing and building boards, paper shipping containers (which carry up to one hundred pounds of freight or express) and wrapping paper. "More than twQ million tons of ordinary waste paper are used for boxes and shipping containers aldne. The public is so accustomed . to having its good in paper boxes that it would be dum founded to find their use seriously cur tailed and this is what will happen if we do not look more toward the util ization of waste. The - use of waste papers for this . purpose prevents the consumption of over one billion feet of lumber annually and is increasing dally. The utilization of waste must keep pace with this to prevent a direct use of our trees for the wood pulp. At the present time there is very little original wood pulp used for paper- board boxes. important Saving J "In addition to the saving of trees in the making of paperboard, there is an otherv very great saving of lumber through the use of paper "Shipping cases" which are used instead of wood boxes. Reports show that it would re quire more than half a billion feet of lumber annually to replace the "paper" shipping cases, now used by almost every manufacturer in the United States. ' "In most towns and cities there are dealer in waste paper and other sal vageable -material such as rag, rub ber, metals, etc., who will pay a fair price for what otherwise wouldt be thrown away or burned. . "The department of. commerce still has on hand a limited number of two publications on waste reclamation which H will be glad to send to inter ested person. These publication will show what one large city has don to develop a city-wide system 6f waste reclamation for the 1 home Stor And factdry, and the other wHlgi dtti pointer on how to organ! and oper ate the service."
