Doubtful New Britain was con- vinced last night that Eddie Barni- kow of Meriden, star football player, has become a member of the All New Britain football team. Several hundreds of football fans gathered al Willow Brook park to watch the practice. When Barnikow appeared, he got a big hand and. strange to say, after he had been put in the lineup and went through several plays, the crowd disappeared and only about 20 were left.

Barnikov Is indefinitely suspend- ed and fined $500 by the Hartford Blues management. He knew this was coming, although he didn't know the size of the fine.

Tests by General Electric C
Engineers Reveal Interesting
Benefits From Electricity.

In order to obtain data in regard to

engines, General Electric engineers al
Schenectady, in conjunction with rep
resentatives of the Adirondack Light
and Power Company. made arrange
ments last year with several farmers
near Schenectady, in New York state,
10 drive various farm machines with
motors Following is a brief sum-
mary OF what was done last summer
and fall
The first test on grinding feed was
made on the farm of Godfrey Leneker.
near Ft Plain. y Y A five horse
power portable farm motor was belted
to a Slower mill used for grinding oats
This test, and another conducted later
demonstrated that the portable motor
Is ideal for feed grinding. which Is
usually an intermittent operation on
the farm, only a few minutes being
required to connect the drive.
At the George Nellis farm, st. Johns
vile, n Y. tests were made of hoist
ing hay. using a three horsepower
motor employed on the farm for drr
ing the vacuum pump of the milking
machine. This motor was boited
through jack shaft to a Farrell hoist
With the motor drive a two horse load
of hay weighing one and one-half tons
was unloaded in six minutes. and
there was the added advantage that
all operations were controlled by The
man on the load
On farm near Charlton. N Y,
where wood. saw and electric serv.
ice were all available, the five horse

uneven barnyard loIdWay considera.
BILE oil was spilled out OF the compen.
sator, and for this reason an automat.
ic compensator, which requires no oil,
was substituted
During the year a number of five
horsepower portable farm motors
have been built and changes designed
to improve the outfit have been made
The principal change was the substi-
tuition of a chain drive from the mo.
tor to the paley shaft for the belt and
belt tightener attachment on the mo.
tor. thus eliminating the latter This
effected saving in no load losses
The ease with which this motor may
be moved from one location to another
and its adaptability to driving so
many farm machines which are used
for only a short time each year should
make it most useful and popular aid

that to give the best results circular
saw should have a small fywheel to
assist when the saw Is cutting sticks
OF very hard wood and tough knots.
At the Sarnowski Dairy Farm, about
two miles from Schenectady, fifteen
horsepower portable farm motor was
used for driving a threshing machine
for threshing oats. The motor proved
to be superior to the gasoline tractor
which was usually employed for this
drive. in that the speed did not fall off
when the bundles of oats were first
thrown into the machine The ma.
chine could. therefore. be fed faster.
and because of the steadier speed the
blower carried away the straw to the
stack and did not clog, whereas clog.
ging sometimes occurs with gasoline
engine drive when the speed falls off.
The constant speed also increased the
number of bushels that could be
threshed per day at ratio of about
l.iOO bushels per ten hour day, motor
drive, to 500 bushels per ten hour day.
gasoline engine drive.
The fifteen horsepower portable
farm motor was used at the same
farm for filling the silo and was con.
nected to a Blizzard ensilage cutter
In ensilage cutting the superiority OF
motor drive was further proved by
the fact that speed was kept up to
normal when heavy overloads, caused
by the bundles of corn when they first
entered the machine, came on, and
freedom from clogging in the pipe
through which the ensilage was de-
livered to the silo.

 Shot Across Boats Bow

New London, Conn, June IT. LP) Officials of the New London pa trol area of section base 4, from which the patrol boats on duty in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Long Island waters operate, have appar- ently run against a blank wall in their efforts to learn the identity of the vessel that fired two shots at the steam yacht Aloha as it steamed past Watch Hill Tuesday with its owner Commodore Arthur Curtiss James, New York railroad magnate aboard. bound for Newport where Commodore James was to entertain Prince Adolphus of Sweden. Upon arrival at Newport, Captain Bezan- son Of the Aloha expressed the opinion that the vessel that did the firing was a coast guard patrol boat. Long Island sound, however. was blankented with fog at the time and no vessel could be sighted from the Aloha.
