PARK CARS IN SKYSCRAPER.
Ingenious Mechanism Gives Chi

n the Popular Mechanics Magazine

Prom the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Part of the space on % of the IL
stories of a new Chicago skyScraper
are used for garage With q total ca
pacity of 512 motor cars.
A feature of the installatio is that
from the time the car enters the build
ing until the owner gets it back again.
it is not touched by human hand. This
has been accomplished by an arrange
ment Of fitting racks on each of the
four elevators used and on the storage
floors. The driver runs his car upon
q loading platform before one of the
elevators. From a maste" control board
nearby. an attendant determines what
storage rack on certain floor is va
cant. He pulls a key from the lock
bearing the designation OF the stall as
signed and gives 1t to the owner as
his claim check. Pulling the key com
pletes electrical connections that cause
a storage rack on the specified floor
70 come 70 rest in front OF the eleva-
tor. The car rolls upon the lift as the
loading platform ais tilted by pressing
a button, the elevator operator dlals
an Indicator. the car is raised to the
floor selected, the elevator doors open
automatically and hy again fitting the
platform the car is rolled to the Stor
age rack.
To remove car from storage the
owner receives a recoip,ed bill from
the cashier and presents the claim key
10 an attendant. Who inserts II in the
lock on the control board bearing
symbols corresponding with symbols
OH the key. This causes connections
to be made which set in motion a
transfer car on the floor assigned and
the storage rack automatically comes
TO rest in front of the elevator. The
elevator operator. given ticket to
get the car. dials the indicator TO the
floor assigned and the lift stops at
that floor, and again the doors auto
matically open. The operator pulls a
handle which causes the fitting plat
form on the storage rack to rise at the
rear and the car, rolls back upon the
elevator from which 1t is discharged
10 the ground floor ready to be driven
away.
ADVANTAGES claimed for this system
are that it eliminates practically all
chance OF damag ginG the car while
taking il in or removing II from the
building. gives protection against theft
and eliminates gas fumes.

Cocoa Not Harmful.

There is a prevailing but erroneous
idea that some types of cocoa con
tain alkalis which are harmful to the
human system. If this were the case
no such cocoa could he offered for
sale under the food and drugs act.
The misconception is probably due
TO the fact that an 'alkali treatment
is one part of the process of manu-
featuring "Dutched" or Dutch proc
ess" cocoa. The word alkali prob
ably suggests to many people the
strong caustics, such as lye or soda,
which are used for household clean
ing. Only small amounts of very
mild alkalis. says the Progressive
Grocer Magazine, are used in making
this type of cocoa.

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 easily than upstairs
yet in the end they must trudge
the same number of steps whether
they 60 down first or last.
The successful merchant. says the
Good Hardware Magazine. must take
all of these human peculiarities into
consideration. In case there is a
choice between a salesroom in the
basement or second floor. ii Is best
to give preference to the basement.

The State of Maine today is re-
minded of its youth. The gentleman
ians of this unique association bring
stories at first hand from men who
were with Wa shington at Bunker
Hill and men who marched with Ar
mold from Fort Western up the Ken
nebec. They heard men boast of hav-
ing cast their first vote for George
Washington and listened to the stor-
les of the fiery debates that made of
Maine a State.
Within the lives Of many of those
here present have come the inven-
lions that have revolutionized our
age. They have seen the stage coach
transformed into the steam railroad.
the electric car, the automobile and
now the airplane, They have seen
the slow mail by horse back trans
formed into the telegraph, the tele-
phone, the wireless and the radio.
They have seen ten million of people
become one hundred and ten million
and continent subdued.
Such country and such people
cannot be old.
