running through the center of the
building connects with good-size

silos on either side. An unusual fea-

stable floor is completely equipped
with steel stanchions, drinking cups
for the cows and an overhead carrier

for removing litter. A system of ven

New York, May 7.-Tommy Armour,
one Of Scotland's best golfers, now
located in this country, is an enthu
siastic baseball fan.
For several years Armour has
spent much of his time at the West
chester BiltmOre club, New York.
When goling permits, Armour HES
himself to the Polo Grounds.
Carl Mays. star pitcher of the
New York Yankees, is personal
friend Of Armour. Incidentally, Carl
aside from being some pitcher is Il
bit of Il golfer.
In golf circles Armour is known
rs one of the longest hitters in the
game. He takes healthy cut ut
the little white bali and gets Babe
Ruth distance to his drives.
Thought II Easy.
While Armour has never played
baseball, he had u wild idea that it
was no great task to hit the ball as
delivered by big league pitchers.
One day he contidcd his belief to
Mays, who invited him out to the
Polo Grounds to make good his
opinion.
Mays did the pitching, Armour the
batting and q number Of the Yam

OIL ENGINES
FOR POWER WILL
EFFECT SAVING
Continued from raxs u

pany proposes to install one 200 HIP.
oil engine unit with complete gener-
ating equipment and furnish
current to these motors in daily SER
vice while the reserve units will be
connected to our City Power Plant
as well as the auxiliary gasoline en-
gines, in this way providing three
sources of power to the plant. How
ever. the oil engine generating unit
will be the main power factor and
will be used in daily service for
pumping water. The above Com.
pany has made their claim to the ef-
feet that with this 2OOHP Oil unit
they can put current on the switch
board and through the pumping units
at II fuel and oil cost of $500 per
seven hours. This will mean that
the yearly cost of pumping water

100000. They also claim that no
additional power labor will be nee
essary for the operation of these!
units, as the caretaacrs at the treat
ing plant can e>sify take care Of
any engineering necessary.
Another proposal has been made
in the way of offering one 300 Horse
power Oil engine generating unit
with the intention of furnishing cur
rent for the motors at the plant in
addition to the lighting of the city
white way. The readers will UNDER
stand that the City owns at the pres
ent time, the WHITE WAY system
and for the past year or so has
been handicapped OF account of the
rates and has not been able to
maintain the full daylight service.
You will also realize that the mach.
inery at the plant being installed

work in very nicely for the City to
furnish the light-ng ,or their own

estimate the cost of operating this

power for the treating plant and the
lighting of the white way at a year

NEW IDEA FOR
GARAGES URGED
BY AUTO MAN

Why not garage on the lower
floors or easements of office build
ings and apartment houses?
C. ]. Nephler, general sales man
ager of the Oakland Motor Car
company believes that this is one Of
the many things that could be done
to help remedy the motor car park
ing question, particularly in large
cities
He points to the fact that in Akron
o., large building is being Con-
structed for dtDtors and dentists
with the lower floors designed as
garage space for the tenants. This
is~one Of the first steps taken in
this direction.
Both the downtown parking
question and the question of galage
room for occupants of apartment
houses, which have grown tremend-
ously Of late years in the larger cit
les, calls for some solution in the
near future" he, reasons.
There is n tendency today to put
gymnasiums in large business office
buildings to save time and give
healthful exercise to the tevants.
The parking of autom obiles for these
tenants is just as serious. In the
smaller cities and towns, vahant
spaces in the down town sections are
given over to the parking of motor
cars. In the larger cities, the
streets for parking are limited and
often motor car owner has to park
a mile or more from his place of
business.

Recently in New York at an in
formal gathering of dozen UNI

much consideration.

TWO HURT E THREE
CARS COME TOGETHER

TOTTENVILLE, March 1.-Two
men were injured in an automobile
accident about 6:10 o'clock last
night, when three automobiles fig
ured in the mix-up. The injured
are Harold Matthes, nineteen years
old, o of Edward Matthes, a milk
man OF Prince Bay. and William Nc
Kay, twenty-three years old, a
helper, on the automobile with
Matthes. Matthes received contus-
ions of the right hand. and Mckay,

to their homes.
Matthes was driving an automo-

he collided with All automobile
owned and operated by Hiram

Matthes' car was turned over
when struck by Turner's machine
and wrecked and the impact sent

MAN STRUCK by
TRAIN S HURT
CraWIs to Boathouse and Af-

comes Unconscious.

TOTTENVILLE, March Ed
ward Erickson, t%ifty-one years old, of
75O Forty-first street, Brooklyn, is
at Staten Island hospital suffering
with five fractured ribs that he SAYS
he received late Saturday night when
he was hit by a Tottenville train o.
the Staten Island Rapid Transit.
Erickson, who is a municipal dock
inspector says THAI while he was
climbing to the elevated platform of
the Tompkinsville station he was
struck by the train and thrown to
the hand rail on the opposite side
of the track, breaking five ribs.
No one was in the station or on
Me platform at the time and Erick-
aon says that he crawled to a boat
house 100 feet away. Finding the
building unoccupied he telephoned
the Staten Island Hospital at Temp
Evansville and then collapsed. An am
bulance from the hospitSN twice re-
turned to the vicinity of the station
but were unable to find the man.
Later a nemploye of a shipping con-
Germ found Erickson unconscious
and had him taken to the hospital.
His injuries are not expected to
prove fatal. Train crews on the late
trains had heard nothing of any one
being struck at that point on Sat
urday night.
