SURPRISES NIAGARA FALLS
AS POWER PRODUCER
New York City Generates Twice As
Much Az American and Canadian
Falls-Exceeds Muscle Shoals

The words "super-pOwer" and
"giant-pOwer" are, as far as New
York is concerned, not predictions
OF a future condition, but descrip-
tive of an existing state, one which
New York City has enjoyed for a
number of years, according to radio
broadcasts by Arthur Williams,
vice-president of the New York
Edison Company.
Niagara Falls is the largest
power source of it's kind in Amer
ica," said Mr.. Williams, yet its
entire capacity, as developed on
both the Canadian and American
sides, is less than half the present
power plants, for the combined
generating plants OF this city are
capable of producing more than g.
100000 horsepower at one time.
Muscle Shoals also has received
national publicity as super-pow-
er plant. but the entire present de-
velOpment at Muscle Shoals does
not equal the capacity of two of
the electrical generators In the
waterside plants of this city.
New York is the super-pOwer
city of the world, not only in terms
of pOwer-generating capacity, but
also in terms of power utilization.
"In 1924 the plants of this city
generated a total of 6,300,O00,000
horsepower hours of electricity, the
greatest quantity of electricity ever
supplied to any city in the world.
This is almost equal to the entire
electrical consumption of France.
During 1924 there were erected
on Manhattan Island 267 large
buildings having an aggregate con-
tent of almost 50O,O0O,OOO cubic #.
They could not be utilized without
safe, high-speed elevators; they
must be lighted and power must be
available for the great multitude of
manufacturing purposes, for refrig-
,eration, ventilation and for general
service.
"How many people realize that on
Manhattan Island, below Thirty
fourth Street, we no longer have
fire engines. Two central pumping
stations, supplying a network Of
about 100 miles of high-pressure
water mains, have taken their
place
"One of these high-pressure
pumping stations, located near
Gansevoort Market, on the North
Milford chronicle., 1926-11-12

River, supplies the western side of
the high-pressure zone; the other,
at the foot of Oliver Street, supplies
the zones eastern area. Each sta
ton contains electrically driven
800-horsepOwer motor pumps, with
the necessary equipment for auto
matte and safe operation. capable of
delivering 5000 gallons of water a
minute under a pressure of 300 lbs.
The two stations together are eq-
uipped with nearly 10000 horse
power in electrical motors, which,
during each minute of operation,
can deliver $4,000 gallons of water
against this hing pressure.
'In contrast with the time an
engine takes to be put in operation
at a fire, with the possibility of
street blOckades, under this system
the pumps start automatically and
are running at full capacity when
thirty seconds. This makes an un-
limited supply of water, at twice the
pressure of older methods, immedi-
ately available at 200 hydrants in
the district, each having cOnnec-
tions for four lines of hose.
"In a test made when the system
was completed, fifty streams of wa
ter, each carrying full capacity,
were shot into the an, to a height
OF $50 feet.
Each of these pumping stations
is connected with the great cleo
tricity-generating plants on the
river front of the city by four sep
arate feeders. Each feeder has a
capacity of more than 5000 horse

If the question were asked: (Which

would reply: winning" That is prob
ably right and yet it is a we'll known
= fact that the winning player is always
willing to quit while the losing one will

seems to be human nature to desire to
cash in on ones profits, to quit win

mistakes a player can make. The time
to keep on playing is when you are
winning. Push your luck and limit
your losses" is one of the greatest
maXims of the game and yet the one
least followed. When you are holding
good cards during an evenings play,
don't think about taking home your
profits. Keep on playing while your
luck lasts and don't stop until it changes.
On the other hand, if you are losing,
don't keep on playing. A bad luck
streak is one of the hardest things to
break there is, so don't try it. One of
the best money" players in the coun-
try, and by "money player" is meant a
man who plays auction bridge for high
stakes and wins, makes it an invariable
rule to stop playing if he loses three
rubbers in succession. 1t may not be
good sportsmanship but it certainly is
good judgment. Think it over and see
whether you are getting the most out
of your good cards and losing as little
as possible when you are holding poor
cards. If you can learn this lesson and

failure properly to observe traffic
rules and safe practices on the high
ways, will result in dismissal from
the service.
1t logically follows that public
regulation of the same character
would accomplish a like result, and
with automobiles increasing in
number, with proportional increase
in congestion and hazard of accident,
the point has been reached and the
time has arrived for affirmative leg
islative action in this regard.
But compulsory automobile in
surance is not the solution; it will
not reduce accidents; it will tend to
increase them by removing the last
vestige of personal responsibility
from persons already careless.

THE RAPID DECLINE of the
popular vote in the last score OF
years shows that far too many peo-
pie have subscribed to the false doc
trine that a few votes more or less
will not change the result, and that
they need not waste the time or en-
ergy to vote.
They neglect to recognize that the
grand total is made up of single
votes-that one voter can speak as
emphatically and decisively as an
other.
A full and free expression OF the
popular will is not recorded, when a.
part of the voters remain at home
refusing to do their duty as citizens.
The growing tendency to remain
away from the polls is alarming, and
is an actual peril confronting our
representative form of government.
Any citizen who does not vote, un-
less he has good and sufficient rea-
sons for not voting, is not living up
to his responsibilities, and in the last
analysis, does not deserve citizen

added to these precautions and

DOWNSTAIRS LOGIC

There are some very peculiar
quirks in the human makeup. One
of them is that you can get people
to go downstairs more aesily than
up-stairs-yet in the end they must
trudge the same number of steps
whether they go down first or last.
The successful merchant, says
Good Hardware, must take all of
these human peculiarities into con-
sideration. In case there is a
choice between a salesroom in the
basement or second floor, it is best
to give preference to the basement.
