the last game would have cinched the
second game and two straight for the
evening.
Bleuer, who is captain of the Stock
Leaders, was off last night, too. He
only netted 107 in his first game.
Probably he is saving up those extra
pins for the Cambridge crew Monday.
Captain Carron of the Bachelors is
back in his old form. He scored 500
pins last night and ranks among the
high scores of the evening.
There is evidently no jinx in the
Pillow City bunch. They tore things
loose on all sides last night. Their
high score will be hard to beat. The
individual average for the first game
was 1871. which is unusually good
bowling, even among the profession
ais.
Johnson of the Pillow Citys took the
high individual score with 554 pins
His score sheet was very consisterl
throughout without a break in one Of
the games.

1t is an interesting fact that not
one member of the judiciary com
mittee that passed upon the measure
is motorist and for the first time
since the warning signal question
came into the legislative limelight
this Chicago ordinance is believed
to represent intelligently the non
motoring public.
The real inspiration of the ordi
nance was Mayor Harrison of Chi
cago, who, when he took office, held
the opinion that there should be
automobile regulation that would
protect the motorist and pedestrian
alike, and at the same time put an
end to all unnecessary noise This
ordinance is the result of his idea
In discussing its intent and provi
sions, Mayor Harrison said:
at Is my idea that in considering
this automobile question the whole
rights of the public must be re
spected.
This being the case, 1t was nee
essary to get the complete points OF
view of all concerned. l think we
have succeeded. 1t is wholly feas
ible to protect the safety of the
public in a manner that brings nc
undeserved hardship. The automo
bilist who makes unnecessary noise
is just as much of public nuisance
as the man who creates a disturb
ance on the street and should bt

will remember it, and not repeat tn,

ought to, as | am sure it will, realiz.
that the motorist has his rights
which under the law 1t is bound t,
respect. In fact, there must be CO
operation between the motorist ant
non-m otorist to bring about the RICH
state of affairs.
II sincerely believe that the tim
of thoroughly friendly understand
ing is at hand. To certain extern
it has existed, but not wholly. Il
the case of the warning signal n
man is required to submit TO IN
shrieking nuisances that have exist
ed. The law is to put an end Z
them. A warning signal is war;

far is the sandwiches, but plans for
the demolishment OF them are already
advanced and undoubtedly will be
consummated soon.
The protested game between the

Chicago Bars Unnecessary Noise

Chicago has placed the automo-
bile horn in the same class with loo
omotive and street car signals by
creating a law forbidding it's use
save as a warning of danger. More
over, the city has taken another
step forward by defining, for the
first time in the history of munich
pal legislation, just what an ade-
quate automobile signal is, by pro-
viding that no device shall be used
as a signal of warning save that
which gives an abrupt sound This
means that no matter how much
noise might be made with a warning
signal, to make other than an abrupt
sound will put it in the power of
the court to fine any person guilty
| of unnecessarily sounding his sig
nal $25.
The ordinance specifically states
that it shall be unlawful to make
any unnecessary noise.
The warning signal proposition is
thus treated in a section of an ordi
nance which it is believed will check
the abuse of the muller cutout, and
various other automobile dangers
But the chief feature of interest is
the warning signal section, because
its adoption sets the pace for the
rest of the United States and shows
the way to the successful solution
of a problem that has bothered mos
of the cities and towns of the coun
try for a long time. The section
reads as follows:
Motor vehicles and motorcycle!
