Automobile Men Inspect
Installation Comparable
With Owen Magnetic Car
System on Fighting Craft

Lieutenant Commander r. w. Clark,
U. S. N, superintendent of ordnance at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, entertained
members of the Owen Magnetic Sales
Corporation aboard the new super
dreadnaught New Mexico recently to
show them how the principle of cleo
trio drive used in the Owen Magnetic
car is applied most successfully to the
navy's crack ship. The visitors were
shown how 37,000-ton monster was
controlled by four small levers, and
also just how the installation COM
pared with that of the car.
The navy mans guests were Fred j..
Titus, sales manager; Walter Ramsay,
Wholesale manager, and Captain Fred
Crooks, late of the ordnance depart
ment of the United States ARMY.
|" The New Mexico is an oil burner
with turbine engines and the electric
drive. The men aboard say she has it
over any other ship in the world for
simplicity, cleanliness, quiet and lack
of vibration, and all because she is
electrically controlled down to the very
last mechanical detail.
She will do twenty-five of the smooth
est knots ever reeled off by ship be-
cause of her electric drive. and electric
control also takes care of the fire of
ner guns, hcr ire control instruments,
her ammunition and shell hoists, her
kitchen and even the condensers that
convert $1,000 gallons of salt water
into fresh every twenty-four hours
She is great electric power house with
everything 30 thoroughly co6rdnated
that one can do n multitude Of things
by simply pressing Il single button.
And everything is certain in It's action
lit must be certain, because tho lives
of ] 400 men and the safety Of $20.-
100000 floating fortress depend at all
times upon this certainty.
The visitors spent most Of tho time
below decks looking over tho installa-
tion that cost S3,000,0 900, and comparing
1t unit by unit with tho drive Of the
car, which is identical in principle. The
absence Of heavy shafting and CON
Meeting rods and tons of steel for other
parts eliminated from the ship by the
electric system, corresponded to the
absence of clutch and gears in the
automobile. The lack of vibration and
the general quiet of operation were
alike in ship and automobile because
Of the elimination Of clashing gears
and the introduction in their place of
the smooth and quiet application Of
power to the propeller shafts through
their respective magnetic fields.
After the inspection was completed
somebody asked the lieutenant COM
mander if the system always worked
His crisp reply was:
at works ut all times. II there was
any doubt about its ability to deliver
the goods all the time, the United
States Navy wouldn't have it,"

Houpt, president of the Hudson Motor
Car Company of New York, has taken
over as service station the Hudson
Garage at 315 West Sixty eighth

With the possible exception of the
garage owned by the Automobile Club

the largest garage in the city, and it
now becomes the largest building de

that can be gained. However, Ralph

Cal, that other cars than racing
cars can show creditable speed.

the same as are seen every day on

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF

subject of building. for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience

Bungalows have had an increasing
popularity among home builders dur
ing the last few years. Now, when
there will be large number of new
homes planned and started throughout
the country, they will be exceedingly
popular, for the one good reason that
the owner gets more for his money in
this style of architecture than in the
older type Of twO-stOry houses.
OF course, there are bungalows and
bungalows. Whether they be homes of
as Few as three rooms or those con-
tanning as many as ten, or even more,
they are bungalows just the same. The
word to most minds, however, means a
small, conveniently arranged house Of
four or five rooms, six at the most, all
on the one floor.
Home building has been at stand
still during the last couple of years,
and the time has come when finding IA
place in which to live in almost every
community is considerable of task,
and an expensive proposition, too.
Rents have advanced, and because of
the law Of supply and demand are
rapidly being further increased. The
resumption of building at once, there
fore, is important, as the demand now
is greater than the supply and the
