WHITE HOUSE
CHOICE
Coolidge to Take His Summer
Vacation Near Home OF
Close Friend

If a summer white House" is
established, it will be at White
Court, an estate at Swampscott.
Mass, adjoining that of Frank w.
Stearns, the intimate friend and
counselor Of President Coolidge.
1t has been known for some time
that President Coolidge would spend
his summer vacation, If he took
any. on the north shore of Massa-
chusetts, and that he would make
the trip between Washington and
this point on the Maynower.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge
probably will take advantage OF
the summer redecorating and re
furnishing the White House to
leave the city, although there is no
intimation at the present time. that
their absence will be a protracted
one.
The report that President CoO:-
idge has intended to put the May
flower out of commission during
the summer months has proved to
be somewhat exaggerated. The
Mayflower is training ship for
the navy, and its use as Presl-
Dental yacht is only partial. Its
total expenses are $505,1 72.58. and
even IL the President did not use
the yacht the overhead expenses
would not be cut down to any
great extent, it is said.

MOTOR RUNS
BOAT
New York Ferry to Glen Island.
PARK Carries 800 Passengers
at One Trip

The latest proof that Cadillac
engines never die is furnished BY
the new chain-drive passenger
.ferryboat. Comet now running
between New Rochelle. fashionable
suburb Of New York city, and
Glen Island, a resort just outside
the limits Of the eastern metropolis,
The sole motive power In the
vessel is an old four cylinder
Cadillac engine built in 1913 to.
carry seven passengers and now
hauling as many as 500 per trip.
The power plant is what re-.
manned Of Cadillac car which had
been wrecked. It was discovered
at the garage of one Melvin
Hayes, In New Rochelle. The
chassis was cut loose from the
wheels, and set up amidships on
"a wooden base in the boat which
provided the new service.
Glen Island, twenty years ago a
famous resort at the entrance to
Long Island sound, was recently
purchased as part Of the New
York State public park system by
the Westchester County Park
Commission. 1t is about two hun
dred yards from the mainland in
New Rochelle and plans are out
for bridge to span the distance.
AS construction will take several
years and there was popular de-
mand for immediate use of the
beautiful Glen Island part of the

cided to operate a ferry until the
bridge was built.
The steam ferryboat Comet"
was purchased and stripped of her
power plant which had formerly
operated two propellers, and HI. d.
SouthWick, jr., a mechanical en-.
gineer of New Rochelle, was com.
missioned to devise new motive
power to operate the boat on
chain. After tests of other avail.
able engines, comparing their costs
and fuel consumption, Southwiclx,
knowing the sturdiness and dura-
bility of old Cadillac engines,
bought the abandoned chassis and
set it up in the boat.
He added to it a second set of
transmission gears. which were
locked so that only the first speed
forward and the reverse could be
used and to the second gears he
coupled a wildcat or chain-cog
part of submarine chaser's
anchor windlass. This rig gives
about one revolution of the chain
cog to ten of the main engine and
runs like a sewing machine. The
fuel consumption Is from five to
eight gallons Of gasoline per day,
according to how many trips are
made by the one boat.
Marine experts who have in
spected the Glen Island ferry pro.
nounee it the very last word in
economy of operation. The crew
OF the boat consists of an en-
gineer, or more properly, a 'chauf-
feur," and deck hand, while a
fifteen-year-o boy, who collects
the round-trip fare OF one dime
from each passenger on the New
Rochelle end. completes the payroll.

done away with before the skid
can be discarded for good
Another interesting point in con-
nectiop with brakes is that engineer
ing is only In its infancy on this
subject Before skidding is put off
the map altogether. brakes may be
taken off the wheels. This. how
ever, is not anticipated until, and
unless, the four-Wheel drive principle
is generally adopted for passenger
cars.
The trend in brakes is toward
making them apply as far from the
There was a time when drivers
locked the rear wheels and tried
to make the rubber tires do the job.
That was the first stage. Skidding
was at its height. Then brake
drums and bands were enlarged SO
that friction at the brakes would
reach higher point before whc SIS
could lock- Slxfdding was then less
likely, and unless drivers were so
foolish as to slam on their brak IS,
cars would stop with less depend
ency upon the tires.
Four-WheeI Brake Stage.
Next came the FOUR wheel brake,
with a. large amount Of braking
area equally distributed over the
four points of the car. We are in
this stage now, and It has been
demonstrated to the satisfaction OF
progressive motorists and engineers
that, when properly equalized, four
wheel brakes are marked advance
in safety. But it may be necessary
to go still further.
Motorists know that when the
propeller shaft Of an automobile is
stopped, the resultant braking force
on the rear wheels is automatically
equalized. They also know that
when the brakfng force is applied
TO the rear wheels alone, the weight
81 the car tips forward, thus caus-
ing the rear wheels to lose traction
and the car to have a tendency to
slide or skid With four-Wlleel
drive. therefore, it would be OTl.y
necessary to have two brakes, one
on each propeller shaft, the two
equalized. The braking force would
then be several times removed from
the point of road contact, and the
arrangement lis said to have a auin-
Der Of advantages over the hest
four-wheel brakes.
Tho FOursSVIeeI Drive.
But why four-wheel drive? Well
that is another point in banishing
the skid. Many an accident today
is caused by loss of traction while
power is being applied. A driver,
finding himself sliding backward
down an icy road, races the engine
and lets in the clutch. But one Of
the rear wheels churns hopelessly.
and the car keeps on going back
wards. Perhaps he is sliding In.
