BROADWAY WATER MAIN BURST
Thirty-SiX-lnch Water Pipes, Burst
ing, Flood Portion Of New York.
(From the N. Y. Times. }

\riOHl tHe IN. !. 1lmeS.
AS John Hess, a jewelry salesman,
was crossing broadway at S9th street
yesterday afternoon at 1.50, the
street came to life and wriggled like
big snake. Hess lodged an auto
mobile which was pitching like tug
boat in & rhoppy sea, and scrambled
to the northwest corner just as a
series OF fountains shot up twenty
feet high from the half-inch holes in
Il sealed manhole cover, and while
the Broadway asphalt was billowing
heavily.
In another moment an uprush OF
water, rock and gravel broke through
the swollen pavement in S9th street
Just west of the Broadway line, and
tie sealed manhole cover was Tipped
into the air like coin, and thick
volume Of water rose ten feet high in
=; oadway. Several motor cars were
swept south by the foaming torrent.
TIE flood swept over the sidewalk
drove pedestrians into doorways.
In seth street nursemaids snatched
up babies and ran upstairs with
| them, leaving baby carriages to be
engulfed
36-inch main, one Of the main
arteries OF Manhattan's water sup
ply, had burst five feet below tho
street level. For more than an (hour
1t boiled into Broadway, casting up
about 100000 gallons Of water,
according to Deputy Chief Engineer
w. w. Brush, Of the water depart
ment, or enough to, fiji tank as big
as the Times Building in Times
Square. Within an hour the depart
ment Of water supply had succeeded
in shutting the nood-gates at 9Gth
street and Broadway. After that the
huge spring slowly subsidized, and at
about $50 o'clock had ceased to
flow.
For more than an hour the west
side Of Broadway ran like a NOUN
tain stream from 18th street to SGD.
Most Of the water rolled down the
slope from Broadway to West End
avenue and flooded it from 91st to
S2d. Dams Of wood and dirt were
hastily built all along tho route, and
here and there indignant domestics
fought the waves with brooms and
mops in areas and passages. rianks
were borrowed from building con-
tractors to maintain communication
by means Of the Rialto, which were
constructed here and there through
| out the eight-block Venice.

Franklin Organization Celebrates First Car
 Sale Twenty Years Ago


 Twenty years ago this month. the first Franklin car was sold, and to commemorate the event Franklin dealers in all parts of the country are planning to celebrate the occa- sion in suitable fashion.
 The two decades that have since passed represent almost the entire life of the automobile industry; the strides that the industry has made since 1902 have no doubt been a source perennial wonder 10 the thou sands of skeptics who could see In the early "horseless carriages noth- ing but an expensive toy for the rich.
 The car shown in the picture is the first Franklin that was placed on the market and was originally pur- chased by Mir. s. G. Averell of New York City on June 10, 1902. It Is today most cherished possession Of the Franklin company. Mir. Averell (shown at the wheel) is one of the most loyal of Franklinites: he has owned a large number of Franklin cars since his first purchase and at the present time is driving the lat est series Franklin which he bought last summer. Seated beside hlm is MT. John Wilkinson, who twenty one years ago invented the Franklin air- cooled engine and correlated the

At present he is vice presi- dent of the H. H. Franklin Manufac- turing company and president of the Franklin Automobile company tthe selling organization)
 An interesting commentary on the precision of workmanship which went into the old 1909 car is the fact that 1t is today in perfect run ming order and Is still capable Of making 30 miles an hour. which two decades ago was considered good road performance, Much as the now curious looking 20-year -old product seems to differ from the we'll tail- pred Franklin ear of today, the same fundamental principles are present. The 1902 car was air-cooled and so is it's 1929 Successor; today's Frank lin, also, continues to utilize full elliptic springs and very light. un- sprung weight. as well In the span of years between, there have been of course many refinements and im- provements, but the fundamentals are the same.
 Many of the 5000 employees of the Franklin factory remember the hum ble beginnings of the Franklin car and how the first car was made In the second story of the small ma chine shop building shown in the background of the picture; they are husily planning a notable celebra- ton in honor of the sale of the first car.

- - New Spare Tires

It Is a mistake to carry new tires as spares, The epidemic of tire stealing that prevails throughout the country has demonstrated the avidity of tire thieves for tires that have never been used and can be disposed Of as new. A new tire naturally brings a much higher price than one that shows wear. Motorists, whose new spares have been stolen with unfailing regularity should remem Der that they have been offering tempting bait to the thieves The sensible thing to do, says the United States Tire company, is to use a new tire for few hundred miles before

Same Air in Tires

genial controversy has been fur- nishing interest lately to the resi- dents of Lake Placid N. Y. It grew out of the fact that T. II. Leahy of that town motored last fall to Flori- da, spent the winter driving about the state in his car, and then drove back home, arriving with the same air in his tubes that he started with.
 Now some of his fellow townsmen are insisting that the tires wore so well because they were riding on Lake Placid air. But there is a strong advocacy on the other hand that the record making performance was due to the fact that United States tires are good tires"
 The journey covered 6,SSo miles Tn the ear were seven persons and a liberal quantity of baggage. Dur ing the enti trip there was not the slightset sign of tire trouble.
