PRIVATE GARAGE
IS INEXPENSIVE
Motor Life Gives Illuminating Aid

ton of Building.
SAND FLOOR IS PREFERRED

Things Up--Much Easier on
I'm Tires of Standing Cars.

E d new department has been started
In Motor Life. In it the motorist finds
practical experience to guide him in
building the inexpensive private gar
age, with comprehensive plans and
notes.
Some of the advice is Illuminating:
"If you prefer you may have cement
floor In the garage, but for several
years past have used fine white sand
about three inches deep. The cost is
about ST. or So cubic yard and three
yards will be ample for your needs.
Grease, gasoline and water are abb
sorbed instead of staying to mess
things up. Occasionally you rake the
floor to bring the clean sand to the
top. A little heap at the far end
makes a most convenient bumper and
lessons the chances of banging into
the rear wall, I've found. Finally,
sand is far easier than cement on the
tires Of standing cars. The shoe Is
not ffattened out at the point of con-
tact but makes a slight bed for itself
to keep Its normal shape. This Is
really very important point espe-
cially for folk who lay up their cars
for long time.
Wash Car In Comfort.
"By all means have hydrant just
inside your garage, then In severe or
stormy weather you can wash the car
In some sort of comfort. Most folk
would advise an underground gasoline
tank too, but that depends on circum-
stances. Since the early part of the
winter / have not been able to get
gasoline In any quantity. The few
gallons I did manage to bring home
barely sufficed to run my pumping en-
CINE and small electric-light plant. A
large underground tank would have
been useless investment. Anyway,
like most country folk. ! have little
oil house to hold kerosene, gasoline
and lubricating oils. This house is
about six feet square, is covered with
corrugated iron and stands at a safe
distance from all other buildings. On
small suburban or city lot this sort
of thing could not be built and a little
underground tank is almost neces-
sity.
Heat Not Necessary.
sNaturaIly. 1t is out of the question
to heat such garage as this, but ]
fancy mighty few garages will be
heated next winter. 1t makes little
difference. after all, for n mixture OF

 A writer in one of the Norwich newspapers, speaking of his conduct at the battle of Antietam. said: "After hls sword arm had been disabled by a shot, he took his weapon in his left hand, and still pressed on, encourag- ing his men by his heroic fortitude." ," Referring to young Lieutenant Wait. Rev, M. McG. Dana writes in his Norwich Memorial: Lieutenant Wait was a noble specimen of the young men of culture and lofty patriotism that Norwich sent forth to the war. Brave and manly in his bearing. gen. l erous- hearted and beloved, he was one whose name is still fondIy cherished. the history of whose self-sacrificing valor reflects a new honor on the town and commonwealth he represented in l the Union ranks"

HENS AT sroRRs
 PRODUCE s1 PER CENT. Push Their Weekly Pen Record Up to
 64 Eggs.

In the twenty-ninth week of the laying contest at Storrs, Connecticut birds pushed the weekly pen record up to 64 eggs, or a yield of over s1 per cent. This pen of Leghorns en- tered by George Phillips from Sey- mour were also awarded the blue rib bon or first prize for outlaying every month of April, in which these ten hens laid -243 eggs. It might as well l,o said first as last that all the best pens in the twenty ninth week were of the same breed. The Leghorns ex- cluded all the others and won for themselves all the front line posi- tions. Henry F. Heine's pen from Lakewood, N. J., was second best for the week with a, yield of s2 eggs. NJ. T. Lindsay's pen from Mattituck. N. Y. were in third place with a pro- duction of so eggs. E. A. BaIlard's pen from Chestnut Hill, Pa. and A. P Robinsons birds from Calverton N. Y.. tied for fourth place with 59 eggs each. The total production for all pens amounted to 45T8 eggs, or yield of about 65 1-2 per cent. This does not quite equal the unusual pace at which the birds have been going for the past fortnight; nevertheless. Eit is nearly 500 more than were laid in the corresponding week last year and is, in fact. better than for the corresponding week in any previous 1 contest.

 This second regular company for the three years service departed for the rendezvous of the regiment at Hart ford, where it was mustered in on the 21st of September.
