Fifteen years ago In Chicago a Street a mile long between Qrant and Lincoln parka was widened from 60 (o 200 feet. It cost $10,000,000. If the people whu laid out that street could have looked ahead the expense would have been only the amount ot the surveyor's bill. In less degree such things will happen some day In Florida wherever narrow roads are built. - - California has awakened to the idea and has aome main roads 100 feet . wide.

JCAZJ&R&JSP&& realize the large industry that has grown out of the custom of giving valentines on the four-teenth of February each year. The v D idea seems to have originated dn Jf England, and is practiced by people the world over. While Germany does not recognise the day, many of the 4 carda and novelties used in the United States came from there before the war. Of late year America has taken the lead In the making of valentine. We supply our own market, and export large quantities to all parts of the world. In New York Is located on of the largest supply houses tn the world, and a large force ia kept busy throughout the year to meet the great demand. The principal type of valentines are the comic, the lace, and the novelty, the latter being the most expensive. The most popular appear to be the comic, which are and printed In color In the usual way. j Special machines are required In the production of the lace valentines. The novelty valentines are mostly made by hand. One of the pictures shows the machine which makes the paper lace. There are two rolls, one a die, and the other a matrix of the desired design. The wide paper ribbon" runs between the rolls and is cut by them. A brush bears against the matrix roll, cleaning off any adhering bits of paper. Another brush bears against the ribbon, removing the cuttings from the lac. Before entering the rolls the paper is chalked, thus preventing the lace from sticking to them and being torn. The lace paper la fastened to embossed cards with paper A small machine makes binges. the hinges. It creases long strips of Baper by folding them In and out. and from these strips the hinges are cut off as desired. The cards to which the lace patterns are attached are printed in large sheets with suitable design and then they are embossed. .The embossed sheets are then passed on to the folding table, where they are folded in sets of three and then fed into the cutting machine, which is provided with scalloped edges. The hinged laCe frames are then glued ou lace to these cards, forming the valentines, which find wide favor. One of the simplest valentines consists of cards with various celluloid ornaments attached thereto. These ornaments are cut out by hand with a punch and a maul.- A 'simple riveting machine attaches the ornaments to the cards. The small brass rivets srs carried In a cup at the top of the machine, and then ted down Into a channel by a OT many ITll 4 -- tixx photo-engrave- hand-operate- - d d notched wheel. At each operation of the machine an escapement at the bottom of the channel releases a rivet and lets it drop down under the riveting hammer. The only machine work done on the novelty valentines, made up with silk and satin puffs and bows of ribbon, which must be applied by hand to the cards, is the printing of the colored design and the blocking out of the cards. The puffs and ahlrred borders of the many designs are made with remarkable rapidity and neatness.' The puff Is made from a semicircle of silk, the edges gathered as they are being pressed Into the glue by drawing and puckering them with the fipger-nail- . Two pieces of cardboard, cut to the desired curve and covered with colored silk lapped over the cardboard and glued to the under side, form the borders. The silk Is also gathered as the edges are glued down, and the border pieces are ? In Holland there are now four .large camrs. for Belgian refugees only, containing about seventy thousand persons, as against seven hundred thousand last year, and all over the country are private bouses rented by the government and some by private subscriptions where people of the better claBa, who are, however, as penniless as the others, are being cared for, says a New York Herald correspondent The Dutch government pays all their expenses tn It costs 14 cents a day to feed the growns-up- s the camps and the children 8 cents a day. In the private houses they cost 28 cents and 20 cents, respectively. Their clothing and schooling Is an extra expense, and, has so far cost approximately $55,000. The budding of the various camps totaled $620,000, and a special fund for the eventual restoring , of homes now equals $40,000. I visited one of these camps at Gouda and was most enthusiastically greeted. America ia a password that assures one a welcome wherever Belgians are. There are sixteen hundred persons there now young and-- old, men and women, and many; many children. Over them all a spirit of calm seems to have fallen. They have found a temporary borne, an Interval of quiet, between last year's sudden horrors and the years of toil that lie ahead of them when they shall have re- turned to their ruined, barren lands again. There are faces sad with the sorrow of loved ones lost tn, the war anxious ones wno have not heard for months from husbands and lovers, and who know nor whether they still live some who are ruined and who know that when the war is over they must start afresh their hard struggle for existence, and there are some, the older ones, who have that saddest, most hopeless look of all. who know that for them life holds naught but sorrow and poverty. r., SrrvV 3 then glued over the edgea ot the puff. Many Intricate designs are thus very simply made. Expert designers are kept continually at work trying to fashion new designs that will find favor among the patrons of the pleasant and amusement of sending messages by Cupida fun-maki- valentines. HOLLAND NOW MOTHERS ABOUT 70,000 BELGIANS ' There was one woman, seventy-si- x years old, whom I noticed especially. She was sittings In one of the workrooms, where thpre were about three hundred women; some were making lace, some making clothes on sewing machines given by the Rockefeller fund; other were knitting, and as I came Into the room I heard the strains of the Brab&nconne, the Belgian national anthem. They were singing It while they worked young and old and as their voices rose in unison, and the beautiful words. Belgium ever must be free, rang out clear in this little world of outcasts, among these women who have, many of them, lost all, save their patriotism, I caught sight of the old woman. She was making lace,, and her hands, her deep-lineface and the unutterable sadness of her eyes made a picture unforgettable and Impressive. The children look happy and healthy In the nursery, where the wee ones are; in the kinder gartenand.
