average length GA IT, by the average
width (16 IT,. and the result by the
perpendicular height from the base to
the caves 90 fD. which gives 3,840
cubic feet, the contents OF the lower
portion of the stack. The contents of
the roof are found by multiplying the
average length (21 IT, by the average
width e IT,. and the result by the
perpendicular height from the caves
to the ridge e it,, which gives 1874
cubic feet, and this, added to 3,840,
equals 5.1S4 cubic feet, the total con-
tents of the stack.
a circular stack similar to Fig. 5, pro-
ceed as follows: Take the average
girth of the stack-that is, the dis
tance round 1t half way between the
base and the caves, the dotted line
A indicating this, which is. say, so
feet. Multiply this girth by itself. and
the result by .0795, the total result be-
ing 1876, the superficial area in feet
of the base of the stack at the point
A. This area must be multiplied by
the average height Of the stack. which
Is ascertained by adding together the
perpendicular height from the base to
the caves, and one-third Of the per-
pendicular height from the caves to
the apex (10 and 8 It. respectively
which gives an average height Of 13
feet. Multiply 1881 square feet by 13
feet. and the result, 2.5S3% cubic feet,
will be the contents of the stack.
The number of cubic feet to the ton
varies from 400 to nearly 500. In a
large stack that has been standing
for some months 1t would be safe to
calculate 500 cubic feet to the ton.
Coarse hay such as timothy and clover
will not weigh as heavy bulk for bulk
as that which is fine like common
prairie or wild hay. To find the num-
Der Of tons In stack divide the total
number Of cubic feet by the number
of cubic feet required for one ton
which may be 450, 500 or $50, accord
ing to conditions as referred to above.

Weighing the Hay Stack
Without Scales

The only accurate method Of aseer-
tanning the exact weight Of hay con-
tanned in a stack is by use of the
Weighing machine, but, at the same
time. 1t is possible. and not difficult
matter, to determine the approximate
weight of the stack by means Of a few
simple calculations and the exercise Of
a little judgment, and. in the majority
of instances, the information SO OBJ
tanned will be found sufficiently re-
liable and accurate to answer the pur-
pose for which 1t is required.
The cubical contents, or the number
of cubic feet or yards contained in the
stack must first be found, the method

shape, the most common forms being
the oblong or rectangular rick with

To find the cubical contents Of an
oblong stack with gable ends, multiply

AUTOMOBILE CONGRESS
MAKES RACING RULES
Maximum Bore Is Set at 5 1-1o Inches
and a Minimum Weight Of 1884
Pounds-This Ruling viii Cut
Down Cylinders One Inch

Rules were formulated at a recent
meeting in Paris of the International
Congress of Recognized Automobile
clubs for the regulation of racing dur
ing 1909
The new rules provide for a maxi
mum bore of 1879 mms., or 81 inches
and a minimum weight of 300 lilos, or
1884 pounds. This cuts down the size
of four-cylinder racing motors one
inch. and also cutting down the mini
mum weight some 600 pounds.
This action was anticipated from the
letters sent by the Italian club recon-
mending a smaller limitation for in
ternational racing motors. 1t is I'M
derstood that the English and German
clubs also Endorsed this reduction.
The meeting under the presidency
of Baron de Zuylen was attended on
behalf of the Automobile Club of
America by W. S. Hogan and George
Heath. who transmitted the recon-
mendAtion of the clubs technical COM
mittee to the congress.
AS soon as full details of the meeting
arrive by mail full information will be
sent to the American manufacturers
In order that they may plan for next
years grand prize race.

CANADIANS WIN
FROM BERKELEY
TAKE SECOND GAME OF THEIR
SERIES
ELLIS KICKS GOAL FOR ONLY
SCORE OF CONTEST
University of California Rugby Play
ers Put Up Great Battle, but PEN
atty Gives Vancouver Team
Free Kick and Victory

BERKELEY, Oct. 31.-The British
Columbia fifteen won the second game
in the international series with the
University of California Rugby team
this afternoon by a score of to 0.
Vancouver's score was made in the
second half, after the. northern team
had been given a free kick as a penalty
for CALIFORNIA; offside play. The ball
was placed Nsquarely in front of the
posts and the goal easily was kicked
by Ellis. The half ended with the
ball near center of field, as in the
first half.
Interest in the game was high
throughout the college comm unity, and
despite the threatening weather the
crowd was quite as big as at the first
game on Wednesday. when the teams
played a to 8 tie.
Because of injuries received in
Wednesdays game Watson, the Van
couver fullback, was unable to play
today, and Smith was sent in at his
position. During the last two days
practice California's passing abilities
had improved somewhat, but Van
couver was stin to the god in this
particular.
The teams lined up as follows:
acknowledgements, Farmer, Phle-
ger, Budelman, Freeman, Sorenson,
Barnicott and Fairbanks; wing for
ward, Swartz; half, Evans; five
eighths, Cert and Elliott; three-quar-
ters, Harris. Watts and Webster; full

NEW LIZ: PRESERVER
INITIATES AUTOMATICALLY
Alkali and Acid Form Gas When Belt
Is Submerged, Which Furnishes
5uoyancy Enough to Support
Wearer with Safety

For the man in the little motor boat,
where every atom of space has to be
used, the carrying of an ample num-
Der Of life preserVers is problem diff
cult of solution, because if there ever
was an object which cannot be squeezed
into this place or that it is the cork
stabbed thing the law calls a life pre-
server, and the small boat owner calls
something less complimentary when he
seeks to store it away where it will be
available but not obtrusive. But there
are hopes of better things, If we are to
believe the highly satisfactory reports
from Austrian military and life saw
ing authorities upon the exhaustive
tests on the Danube of a new life belt.
This promised supplanter of the cork
slabber consists of a band which Is
flat when strapped around the body,
but which becomes automatically in
1lated instantly upon coming into con-
tact with water Inside the belt is
divided into four compartments, two
of which contain carbonate of soda and
two tartaric acid The partitions be-
tween the sections are made of an
easily soluble substance, and as soon
as the belt is immersed in water the
compartments intercommunicate and
carbonic acid gas is generated, which
initiates the, belt, rendering it capable
of keeping an average man afioat SO
the inventor asserts, for three days and
three nights. The comfort which could
be gained by the nOn-sWimmer's abil-
ity to wear life preSerVer in times of
danger without making a holy show of
himself as he has to do when he dons a
cork Jacket certainly will insure this
Austrian inventor a hearty welcome
among motor boat people.

FIVE CARS ADDED TO
SAVANNAH ENTRIES
THREE OF THEM ARE MODELS
OF OLDSM0BILE
All of the Machines Entered in the
Light Car Race Which Will Pre-
cede the Grand Prize Event
Thanksgiving

Five cars have been added to the
starters in the light car race which
will precede the grand prize at SaVan-
nah ON Thanksgiving day. Two of the
five are Bucks, entered by the BUICK
Motor company, while the other three
are Oldsmobiles. Two Bucks had been
entered previously, SO that this popular
make of light ear will be represented
by four machines.
The entry of the three Oldsmobiles
was made by f. L. Smith, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the ODDS
motor works, and is remarkable after
the repeated impressions given to the
press that the Odds were out of racing.
General John T. Cutting, head of the
New York agency when asked about
these cars, stated that they were of a
new model which the Olds were bring
ing out this year and which will sell
for $1,000. They consist of a 3%-inch
motor and are shaft driven through q
three-speed transmission. General Cut
ting stated that he did not know who
would drive these cars but thought
that William Follberth would surely be
one of the pilots.
Entries for both the light car race and
for the grand prize will positively close
on November 1, and II. T. Clinton, sec
rotary of the contest committee of the
Automobile Club of America, is busy
interviewing manufacturers who wish
to enter at the last moment
Another entry for the big race was
also received by the club today, the
newcomer being third ITALIA.
The Italas, which are due to arrive
the coming week, are of 115 horse-pow-
er. having the maximum bore of 1856
INNS. and stroke of 100 INNS. The
third ITALIA will be driven by Piacerza.

FOX HUNTING is NEW
PHASE OF MOTORING

Professor J. r. Draughon of Nash
VILE, Tenn, has dropped the horse in
favor of the automobile for fox hunt
ing, and has designed and had made
a trailer, which he couples to his ma
chine for the purpose of hauling his
dogs to the hunting ground. Owing
to the distance of the hunting ground
from Nashville it is necessary to travel
twenty-five to thirty miles, and were
the horses and dogs to walk that far
they would be tired out and useless
for the hunt. The professor has thirty
seven dogs in his pack, which contains
some of the best canipes in the state, all
of them being registered The pro-
fessor stays in his auto, and, knowing
the fox and the course he will run, he
can listen to the dogs running for
hours without losing one minute OF
the chase. His machine is equipped
with a Gabriel horn, and when he
wishes to call his dogs off the chase
and return home, or jump another fox,
he simply presses his cutoff and out
roars the Gabriel and the dogs return
to the auto.

BARBER SHOP ORDINANCE
TO BE CONSIDERED MONDAY
Measure Provides for Certain Pre-
scribed Regulations for Betterment
of Practices in Vogue in Tom
serial Resorts

The barber shop ordinance will come
before the council Monday for consider
alton, and there is strong probability
it will be passed.
This ordinance provides for the APP
pointment of a sanitary inspector, who
shall inspect barber shops, and it also
provides sanitary measures which pro-
prietors of barber shops must follow.
. Such an ordinance was on the point
of passage a few weeks ago when
certain members of the council, who
are non-union in their sympathies, in
jected the matter of trades unionism
into the matter, although 1t was sup
ported by both union and non-unlon
men.
The object of the ordinance is to stop
what are said to be uncleanly and I'M
healthy practices in cheap barber shops
and keep Los Angeles from being, as It
is now, the dumping ground of all the
Barber shop offal of the Pacific coast.

MINUS ARM AND LEG,
MAN BEATS UP A COP
Fights Three Assistants to Policeman
Who Tries to Arrest Him and
Gives Them All They
Want

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 31-James
Masterson of Twenty-eighth and Nc
ClelIan streets is without a left arm
and right leg, but when Policeman
Weiss of the Fifteenth street and Sny-
der avenue station tried to arrest him
for begging there was a fracas in which
the cop was well beaten up; three men
who reinforced him had a tussle that
lasted several minutes, and finally
Weiss was kicked off the steps of the
patrol wagon, suffering a laceration of
the scalp.
Directing to the language that Mas
terson was using to passersby, Weiss
arrested him at Eleventh and Wharton
streets. Weiss had to take several
heavy blows from the mans crutch.
When the wagon arrived it took the
combined forces some time to put the
beggar into it, and on the road to the
station kick from the mans single
foot sent Weiss sprawling into the
street. Magistrate Briggs sentenced
Masterson to three months in the house
of correction.
