FIGHT UPOfJ fJOISY AUTO HORN STARTS Society for Suppression of Unnecessary Noise Has Taken up Cudgel. (Palladium Special) NEW YORK, Jan. 24. "When the police authorities of a city make an earnest effort to suppress the unnecessary uho of the automobile horn a large part of the present noise nuisance will be abated," said Mrs. Isaac Rice of New York City, president of the society for the Suppression of Unnecessary Noise. "First an enforceable ordinance is needed; then its rigid enforcement. "The claim is made," she continued, "that the police authorities are too
busy preventing; crime and sarins life ;
to concern themselves with noise problems, but it seems to me that if the latter were but given the proper consideration, they would find them ia many ways as important to the safety of the community as other problems with which they are occupied. "The flagrant abuse -of automobile warning devices is little short of maddening. Why, here In New York City 1 have known of hospital patients asking to be sent to their homes because of the amount of noise made by automobiles pusslng the hospitals." Kverywhere there is a growing sentiment against the misuse of auto horns. In Chicago this sentiment has
taken the form of a city ordinance stating specifically that they shall not be used except in their true function s a warning of danger. And the ordinance Is being rigidly enforced. This ordinance also defines the kind of signals that may be used, specifying that they shall produce an "abrupt sound sufficiently loud to be heard above the noise of the streets." Abrupt means short. Chicago motorlets, In other words, are required to blow a loud blast but a short one. This Is ample from a warning standpoint, yet it reduces to a minimum the actual noise necessary for a proper warning. If a signal is powerful enough so that only one blast Is needed and its use can be confined to cases of necessity surely no one can object to it. It la the prolonged blasts, the sirenshrieks that cause the suffering; and it la these that should be stopped. The automobile needs a warning device one that shall be adequate to be heard and heeded; but its use should be regulated by law as has been done by Chicago. One of the most obnoxious practices of motorists is their attempt to "clear the road" far in advance of their approach by means of long strident blasts of their horns. In this way they seek to maintain their speed in many cases without even slowing up at crossings and depending sole-

ly on their horns for the protection of pedestrians. "While this practice of 'road clearing' may be perfectly permissable when touring in the country, on city streets it is as inexcusable as it is dangerous. "I do not believe that the sounding of automobile horns should be permitted more than 100 to 150 feet from the person to be warned. If the driver is proceeding at a reasonable speed as he should be even these distances are too great." Mrs. Rice believes that automobile clubs throughout the country can do much toward the elimination of the noise nuisance by urging the passage and enforcement of ordinances similar to the one recently enacted by Chicago.

SPOKANE. Wash., Jan. 24. John II. Wallace, a member of the state in
dustrial Insurance commission of Washington, announced at the annual
convention of the State Federation of Labor in Spokane that a concerted effort will be made at the next session of the Legislature to pass a law, designated to protect the families of men sentenced to the penitentiary. The
idea is to change the present system i under which the felon works for the! state to atone for his wrong-doing, soj that his earnings will go to the wife and children, left at home and frequently destitute and in want. " The delegates expressed their approval of the plan, and, while no formal action was taken by the organization as a body,' It is likely tha a campaign will be launched in a short time to crystalize the idea into a measure, whlcft will be submitted to the state Legislature at its biennial session early next January. H. L. Thomason of Sandpoint, Idaho, a delegate at the yearly meeting of the Pacific NorthweBt Hardware and Im
plement Dealers' association, interested many visitors from various parts of the Pacific elope and intermountain country in a plan to have the federal government assist in clearing logged off lands in the West. He said: "The cost of clearing cut-over timber land is high and on that account it is difficult to induce settlers and prospect! vea homebuilders to go into the districts. The government makes large appropriations fomthe opening of rivers and the reclamation of lands, as it should, and we who live in the timber districts think it also should give similar aid in the clearing of valuable lands now studied with stumps but adapted to the highest form of agricul
ture. It would benefit the entire country and provide low-priced lands for thousands now crowded in cities."
FOR "OLD FRITZ" BERLIN, Jan. 24 Emperor William was astir early today and inaugurated the second day of the festivities in connection with the celebration of the. 200th "anniversary of the birth of Frederick the Great. Attending by the

Jo.ns in the Chorus of Praise for Cardui, The Woman's Tonic
Goldsboro, N. C A physician treated me for many distressing symptoms," writes Mrs. Etta A. Smith, "but gave me no relief. "I suffered with nauralgia around the heart and was troubled at times with my head. I had pain in my left side, bowels, left thigh, shoulders and arms. "After taking Cardui, I am now well and can recommend it to other suffering women." Just such doubtful symptoms, as those from which Mrs. Smith suffered, are the ones for which it will pay you to take Cardui, the woman's tonic. It is at such times, when there is nothing to show, for certain, the real cause of the trouble, that you need a tonic, to give ihe body strength to throw off the illness that evidently threatens. Take Cardui, when you are ill, with the ailments of your sex. Take Cardui as a tonic, to prevent illness, when you reel it coming. Your druggist keeps it
