Joy Riding in New York's
Numerically Owned Autos

New York. March 21.-The total cessation
Of iov riding in automobiles belonging TO
the CITY Of New York. and q consequent saw
ing of upward Of 100000 a year are some
Of the sweeping reforms which the new ad-
ministration will probably put into effect
It has cost about $500. 600 year to run
automobiles in the past, and about $4,000
for depreciation and interest on the eX-
pendit lures The city owns between l75 and
200 machines, most Of them are assigned TO
single departments. which use them with
comparative infreQuency-
It is proposed that a central garage and
branches be maintained and operated; that
a superintendent be appointed to act as pur-
chasing agent; that cars be delivered only
on the order of a borough president or the
head of city department, who shall ceru-
fy that the car is to be used in public serv-
ice: that a time clock system be established
that no car be put under the special control
of the head of any department; that card
system be established to check the uses to
which each car is put; that maintenance
records be kept at the garage; that each
department be assessed so much a mile and
so much per hour for the use Of city auto
mobiles and that no car can be kept outside
of the central garage except by order Of the
board of estimate

LATE IMPROVEMENTS
~ a rrrmH-~

FEATURE CAR DETAIL
That automobile progress has been, dur
ing the last two years. along the line Of
detailed refinement, rather than in any
sweeping revolution Of design is a fact
which has been commented upon by every
thoughtful observer. Manufacturers have.
in general, been giving more for the money
better upholstery, more complete equip
ment, better finish more convenient con-
troll, more harmonious lines The addition
Of reliable builtin electrical starting and
lighting systems is another detail which has
been a recent development in the quality
field.
That the cars have been steadily innprOv-
ing in mechanical detail is similarly true.
though this fact is naturally appreciated
more by active motorists than by the per
son whose interest is Of the prospective
sort.
Greater attention is being given to the
Incorporation of adjustable roller bearings
in hubs and transmission; the long stroke,
Small bore motors have been Ions step
toward fuel economy and increased power;
cooling problems have been so successfully
attacked that no correctly adjusted motor
should ever become unduly hot

BUSTING BY COMPRESSED AIR
Problem Of Removing Fine Rock Dust
From Workmen's Clothing Solved
by New York Employees.

Compressed air has superseded
steam as the motive power for driving
rock drills on many of the large ev-
cavating jobs in New York city. The
men who direct the operations of the
air drillers and the men who work in
the trenches have discovered new
use for the compressed air after the
days work is done.
The powerful drills pulverize q
large amount of rock and the must is
waited all over the vicinity In which
the drilling Is being cone. The mems
clothes become covered with q layer
of the pulverized rock, which Is ex.
tremely difacult to remove by ordi-
nary methods.
The problem of removing this fine
rock dust perplexed the men until
one OF them found the solution by re-
moving the end Of the hose which car.
ries the compressed air to q drill and
directing the powerful air current on
his dust-covered clothes. With hiss
ing sound the air rushed out and
swept away the rock dust instantly.
In five minutes the man had cleaned
his clothes to perfection.
Now all the men working on Jobs
where compressed air is used are us.

Beachey to Make Test of
AerOplane That Failed

San Francisco Smithsonian In
stitution at Washington has accepted
by telegraph an offer Of Lincoln
Beachey to demonstrate the possibility
of successful flight in the "f1ying ma
chine" invented and built by Professor
Samuel P. Langley. Derision was ex-
cited when Langley's machine fell in
to the Potomac river and he was said
to have broken his arm. Beachey will
try to show that the machine was
right in every way. and needed only a
stronger motor.
A telegram received from Charles
Doolittle Wyatt, director of the Smith
sonian Institution, said that while it
would be inadvisable to take out the
wrecked machine from it place in the
institution, every facility would be
afforded to make a perfect reproduc-
ton, in order that Langley's real sue
cess may be shown.
"You can fly kitchen table if your
motor is strong enough" said
Beachey. "That is what / want to
show"
Beachey looped his 9th loop in 60
days here Sunday during high wind.

Huge Fortune Pledged
to Aid Suffragist Cause

Washington, D. C.-The big fortune
of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, of New
York, and her influence has been
pledged to the Congressional Union
for Woman Suffrage, which is battling
here to secure an amendment to the
constitution giving the ballot to wo-
men.
The union received a letter from
Mrs. Belmont applying for membership
and inclosing check for $4,000 as a
contribution to the cause.
A statement was issued by the un-
ion declaring war on the Democratic
party because the public rules commit
tee has refused to create woman
suffrage committee in the house.
Suffrage leaders declared that they
will make special fight to defeat for
congress Representative Henry, OF
Texas, chairman of the rules commit
tee, because Mr.. Henry, they say,
lodged the issue by absenting himself.

pected at an early date.
Michel Creste, president of the re-

to Is, the senate passed the Alaska
railway bill, directing the President to
purchase or construct 1000 miles Of
railroad in Alaska at q cost Of not to
exceed $40, 600, 900.
Fifteen Republicans and Senator

cent Of all moneys derived from the

ton of the Panama canal is made

hours of the debate. Senator. Hoke
Smith sought to have the appropria-
ton reduced to $25, 0O0, 900, and Sem
ator Smoot to $35, 600, 900. Among
other amendments defeated were the
Norris amendment for government
steamships to Alaska; the Poindexter
amendment for the sale Of Alaska coal
at cost to Pacific Coast points, and the
Cummins substitute, limiting the con-
struction to one main line.
With the consent of the territories

Famous American Scholar.

Abraham Coles, a man famous for
the wide scope of his learning, was
born 100 years ago in the town Of
Scotch Plains, N. j. He was educated
both in medicine and law, but never
practiced the last-named profession.
He was the author of many patriotic
and devotional hymns, and was espe-
cially noted for his knowledge OF Ian
guages and his translations OF the
writings of the ancients. In one OF
the public parks of Newark. N. j.,
stands unique memorial to Mr.. Coles.
It consists of bronze bust by the
sculptor ]. @. A. Ward, surrounding .
pedestal of stones quarried for the
purpose In Galilee, Bethlehem and
Jerusalem. The foundation Of the
monument Is an enormous rock, which
was transported with much difficulty
from grove near the landing place OF
the Pilgrims, at Plymouth. Mass.

Any small motor of one-f1fth horse

stirred for about ten minutes. Then
the stirring outfit can be lowered
