For many months the Register has
contended that damages resulting from
automobiles frightening horses could
legally be brought against the owner or
operator of such motor vehicles and
would call its readers attention to the
recent suit instituted at Schenectady
n. Y, by j. b. Mcdonnell on April 18th.
The defendant in the suit is Nicholas
w. Moore, a colored chauffeur, employed
by Charles P. Boland, contractor of
that city. Manslaughter in the second
degree is the charge brought against
Moore as he caused the death of j. b.
Mcdonnell, the plaintiffs brother.
The victim was leading a pair of
horses on the Mechanicsville road and
they became frantic at the sight of the
auto and control of the team was lost.
The defendant was held in $4,000 bail,
which shows conclusively that the au-
thorities in that part of New York state
have a regard for human life and also
knowledge of what constitutes the
rights of pedestrians or drivers of horses
upon highways.

HURLED FROM AUTO.
Wedged in SO Tightly in Pipe II
Took Three Policemen to Get
n i'm Out

John w. Betz of No. 1906 Hoe avenue
the Bronx, was driving racing auto
mobile down Jerome avenue last week
when at One Hundred and Seventy-sec.
ond street he swerved out of the way
to avoid a trolley car.
A big sewer pipe lay on the other side
of the car and Betz's auto hit it full.
The auto was wrecked. Betz nearly
was. 1t took three policemen to extri.
cate him from the pipe into which he
had been hurled. He was a mass OF
bruises and Commissions, but was not
seriously hurt.

neering problem of today is how to de-
velop tins electrical current is the easiest
and most economical manner. 1t is es-
timated that throughout the world about
100000 electrical horsepower is being
One quarter of this great horsepower is
generated in the United States with
Canada second and Switzerland third
To generate 1000, 900 horsepower con-
tinualiy by the ordinary steam engine
would require some 25,000,000 tons of
coal, and allowing So a ton for the cost
of the coal this would represent saving
of 1925, o0O, 900.
Situated in this country there are
thousands of streams capable of produc-
ing from 100 to $4,000 or more horse
power. Others, like Niagara, and Vic
toria Falls in South Africa, and the in
Vulnerable falls of the Mississippi, the
Colorado and the Missouri have water
powers that seem unlimited. If every
part of the mighty torrent of Niagara
was harnessed it would easily generate
sufficient electrical power to do all the
work of this country.
The value of stream for power pur-
poses depends upon the amount of water
flowing and also upon its head. that is,
the height of the fall, whether in a sud
den drop or rushing down a slope. The
small mountain stream which tumbles
noisily down the rocks is often worth
more than the broad, sluggish river
/ flowing through a low country. One
cubic foot of water a second may equal
in power the total stored energy Of many
tons of coal.
What is even more wonderful, the
water may be used twice; first, for gen.
Grating electrical power; second, to irri-
gate farm lands in dry countries. With
the electrical pump the stream itself can
be pumped to levels where ordinary
bitches could not carry it. Electricity
in the country as we'll as in the city and
to run feed cutters, threshers and cream
separators on the farm, as well as the
wheels of the cars and factories.
The wind was the first of the elements
to be harnessed. Previous to this the
treadmill was the only form of mechani
cal power. A windmill for the generation
of electrical current is more recent ac-
complishment. DIR. Charles F. Brush,
the inventor of the arc light, in 1889 first
utilized the windmill to run his genera
tors at Cleveland, Ohio, for the purpose
of lighting his house and laboratories.
In Europe commercial windmill electri-
cal plants are being built. One such
plant established at Wittkeil, in ScEles-
mill at Hamburg has been successfully
used to furnish current for factory. A
windmill electric plant at Boyle Hall,
Ardsley, in England, has a capacity of
| 10 lamps. Prof. Nansen uses wind
mill electrical plant on his polar trips.
The good ship Fran was equipped with
such an apparatus and during the long
Arctic nights the ship was lighted and
heated by electricity. The electric wind
mill is e Godsend in the far northern
countries where coal and wood are prac-
tically unknown. In the great prairie
states windmills are extensively used for
irrigation purposes and to furnish cleo
trio power. One windmill plant will ir-
rigate ten acres of land during the sum-
mer and furnish electricity for the house
and farm buildings.

MEETS REQUIREMENTS

If a pure clothes law should be
passed and pure clothes inspectors APP
pointed by the government, special
honorable mention would be given to
the brands we sell. The reputation of
our goods would be immensely in
creased. Everyone would want to
buy of US.
Moreover, if such laws required the
strctest sanitary precautions on the
part of the makers, and prescribed a
high standard of quality for Innings and
cloths, and called for a certain grade
of tailoring for garments at each price,
from the lowest to the highest, we
would be found TO exceed require
ments in. every particular.
