NEW YORK, July Tiff the wo man-providing it is woman--wbC conducts and manages the publicity de partment of the New York suffragettes during their present campaign should ever lose her job, she would have no difficulty in obtaining a high salaried position at any of the theaters. As q press agent she would be worth a for tune. She has shown the most remark. able ingenuity in inventing new meth ods of advertising the cause of the suffragettes and has been instrumental for political equality more notoriety than they probably had bargained for when they employed her.
 One day the sulfragettes descended in a large swarm upon the lower business part of the city and invaded the haunts of J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller and others of that ilk, trying to sell 10 the brokers, bankers and other bus inessmen in those financial precincts sufiragette campaign literature and hNNIdHttit DullOHS. LII ltSS lltlt lnVl it takes to read this the suffrage cam paigners were surrounded by mob of several thousand of those horrid men" who dropped stock deals and everything else to cheer or ieer the be- buttoned women, who made such brave display of themselves for the sake of their "cause.
 On the following day few of the bravest of the suffragettes, among them a few married women, hired hand or gan from an Italian and ground ou. doleful tunes in the City Hall park and its immediate vicinity. The financial result in both cases was not particu- larly encouraging, There are hundreds of women among the suffragettes who could have donated to the cause ten times as much as was collected by the sale of literature and buttons and by the organ grinders, without impoverish- ing themselves; but the ''cause " would in that case have missed a great deal of notoriety and that seems to be the principal aim of the manager esses of the campaign.

It seems the fate of poets to make enemies. Every class of poets seems to have it's own peculiar class of enc. mics. So the gentle writer of spring poems has his inveterate enemy in the prosaie editor, the dramatic poet in the theater syndicate, e'c. There are many cases on record where poets were driven to emigration by the machina tions of their born enemies and just lately a case has come to public notice, in which long. suffering poet, at last driven Co seek more ccngenial envi. ronment in another country, was fol lowed across the ocean by the relent. less animosity of his prosecutors
 The other day genuine dyedJn-the- wool poet, with long hair and dirty shirt and a name long and unpronounee able, arrived in New York, hoping to find a congenial job as Court Poet at the White House or something like that But he had not reckoned with his enemies. The latter, who, accord ing to one version, are merely disgrunt. led eompatriots of the poet in question according to another version members of the American Poets union, lodged information against the long-haired poet and he was rudely held up at Ellis island under the suspicion of being an undesirable. !" Fortunately, however he was able to prove that the charges against him were untrue and he was ad mitted.

not connect with any other line and even the oldest inhabitant cannot re. member that any street car ever ran over that route. The pavement of the street was often repaired during the course of years and every time the city carefully had the tracks replaced. It is not even known when and by whom the track was originally laid. The Metropolitan Street Railway com pany has repudiated every responsibil- ity for this apparently ownerless line and the city will probably remove the tracks in the near future

young house painter, unable to make a living for himself, his wife and three small children, advertised in the papers recently that he would sell
 his youngest child, strong and healthy baby boy, for $500, so as to be able to buy food and clothes for the rest of his family. When interviewed by re
 porters the man told a pathetic story of hard luck, the details of which were duly published in the daily papers Ac- cording to the latest reports the poor man has not yet found purchaser for his baby boy and there seems every reason to believe he will be spared the necessity to sell his own flesh and blood to provide food for his wife and other children.

Like all the great cities, New York offers vast field for study to alienists. Crime in every form seems to thrive here and some of the cases are of quite unusual interest to students of erimi- nology. During the last few days the newspapers have recorded an excep tionally large number of such cases. Of. peculiar interest is the ease of the art dealer. hitherto unsuspected of wrongdoing, who confessed to the po- lice authorities long list of crimes which he had committed in the past and which included arson, fraud and other malefactions. Another, positive ly revolting, ease is that of the young man who killed his own father, beating him to death with an iron bar and breaking the skull and every rib in the old man s body.

The citizens not owning automobiles, and strange to say they are still in the majority in New York, are beeom- ing daily more disgruntled with the dis regard which the proud possessors of autos display not only for the rights of others, but for the laws which rae supposed to apply to rich as well as poor. There was a time when auto, mobiles violating the speed laws conde
 scended to slow down and stop when called upon to do so by the officers of the law. But they have outgrown that habit and it has come to the point that

throughout the country districts of the
state. It is only yesterday that the
Herald recorded the purchase of five
cars of a single make-and large
car, too-which are being used in the
oil fields of California. 1t will be re-
membered that the needs of the Ne

that Nevada specials" were built with
extra clearance.
Another feature that has not been
mentioned before is the common use
Of cars by the fruit buyers of the state
These men, who formerly used horse
and buggy and were consequently
greatly restricted I'm their operations,
now use automobiles either provided
for them by their employers or hire
machines. During the past few months
cars have been used very generally in
the deciduous fruit sections, and now
that the season Of the latter fruit is
over they are being used in the citrus
districts Those employers who have
made use of the automobile in this
kind of work appear to be well salts
fed with the results that they have
attained.
These are merely a few of the many
commercial uses to which the auto
mobile Is being put. The list might be
multiplied indefinitely.

TIRES ORDERED
BY AUTO TRUST

Three and a. half million dollars worth
Of automobile tires is the amount called for
in a contract recently made between the
General Motors company and the Goodyear
Tire company of Akron The General Motors
company is coming TO be known as the
automobile trust" because of the number
Of factories that have been purchased by
II, and as a consequence the Goodyear peO-
ple are clated at their success in closing
with the big concern. 1t is said that this is
the largest tire contract that has ever been
given TO a single tire company. Speaking
of tle news that has come to him from the
east, w. D. NeWerf OF the W. ID. Newerf
Rubber company, yesterday said:
al am informed that the Goodyear people
have closed contracts with the Buick, over

mean, OF course that we VIII furnish these
companies with all their tires, but that we
shall have a large share. These contracts,
with go per cent OF the taXicab business of
the country, and the majority Of the electric
car. business, have placed the Goodyear in
the position Of being the largest tire fac
tory i'm the world. The large tire contracts
build two additional factories and increase
the factory force 500.
THE Goodyear factory is, I think, the
best equipped factory in America Its me-
chanlcal force has invented machines for
wrapping and making tires that finish eighty
tires in the time that two men could make
but six The Goodyear was the first Ameri-
can factory TO see the advantage in wrapped

HOW KLAXON HORN
ORIGINATED ASDEVlCE
First Was DiabolicaI Noise, but Ex,
pertinent Produced the Perfect
Horn Of the Present
Time

Some inventions are due to luck,
some to accident, some to careful anal
ysis of the need and the means of full
fllment. 1t was by analysis that
Miller Reese Hutchison, the. inventor
Of the acousticon for the deaf, de-
veloped the unique warning signal
called the KlaXon. Realizing the linn
itations of existing signals, he set him
self the task of devising one which
should make many times the noise of
a horn, and yet be free from both
complications and tone variation.
Evidently a source Of energy was
needed. First, he tried an electric
horn. II had a soft iron diaphragm
and an electro-magnet. The diaphragm
acted as a vibrating armature, on the
principle of the electric buzzer. 1t
produced note of fair volume, but
the platinum contacts burned away too
fast. Next he tried a large diaphragm
and friction drive. A lobed wheel,
driven by a flexible shaft ran against
a hardened steel button in the center
of the diaphragm. The resulting noise
was diabolical; a deafening uproar of
harsh metallic quality unlike any other
sound ever heard by man. AS a warn
ing signal 1t was a complete success;
but 1t was too violent, and, besides,
there was the troublesome friction
wheel, bracket and flexible shaft to be
specially installed.
Then the question arose: since power
must be used why not have an electric
motor? The electric motor is far more
efficient as a converter Of current into
work than any sort Of electro-mag-
netic buzzer, and 1t does not break tho
circuit several times a second like the
latter.
A miniature motor was made on the
lines of best power practice. A toothed
wheel was keyed on the shaft Every
thing was made practically non-wear-
ing and suitable protection from watev
was added. A protector was made of
such shape as 10 spread the sound
waves laterally while sending them
ahead. The complete apparatus, after
many tests and refinements, was the
press-the- button klaXon of today not
SO loud as the fiywheel klaxon, but
claimed by It's inventor to be the most
efficient converter of power into con-
tlnuous noise in the world.
The peculiar metallic klaXon note is
said to be due to the diaphragm S
being very slightly buckled, like the
bottom of an oil can. The amount OF
this buckling is very carefully regu-
lated, and it results in each individual
vibration having a sort of explosive
crack. The motor runs at 5000 reVolu-
| tiOns per minute on a siX-Volt Storag,
battery, and produces 500 complete vi
brations per second. To resist break

of chrome-vanadiu steel.

horns in their supply house in every
variety.

The extent to which the automobile
IS being used in the commercial world
is probably realized by few. 1t is per-
haps still the belief of many persons
that the motor car is a vehicle mostly
for pleasure. and that the persons who
ride in it are persons of wealth. But
it is a fact that the automobile is more
generally used today for purposes of
business than for the mere search of
pleasure. That this is true in the city
does not need to be stated, for it is
obvious that practically every one OF
the thousands Of cars on the streets
every day is on business bent. How

Cars are being purchased in large
numbers for various trade purposes

It Was The First Golf That President

Washington, March 27-President Taft cast aside official duties this aft ernoon to have his first real play ana recreation since his inauguration.
 He assepted a challenge from Vice President sherman. for a match game of golf at the Chevy Chase Club. the links being across the Maryland line. lBrigadier General Clarence R. Ed wards chief of the insular bureau and Captain Archibald W. Butt, the presi- dents military aide, were also in the party. The president played golf prac- tically all winter long. and has missed the game greatly since he became president. Today was ideal golf weather.
 Vice President Sherman admitted that he is not the best golf player in Utica and has even gone so far as to declare himself dub.
 At the end of two hours play, the scores revealed that President Taft and Vice President sherman. who were matched against General Edwards and Captain Butt. in a foursome, had been beaten by their opponents. at the six teenth. hole. The game was filled with spectacular plays. the resident display ing excellent form. despite his several weeks absense from the links.
 The match was hotly contested and during the first half Is semed probable that Taft and Sherman would defeat the army officers with ease. But al the ninth hole they were tied, and ir the last half. a misplay gave the offic. CTS a winning handicap.
