STREET NOISES
AND AUTOMOBILE
WARNING SIGNALS
Hudson Maxim Defends the Use
of Signal Devices for Use
On Roads.

In view of the country wide agitation
on the subject of unnecessary street
noises, and the attempt that is being
made to define just what these are,
the necessity of properly classifying
automobile warning signals is appar-
ent. II is generally held that the best
way TO arrive at a satisfactory con-
clusion in this regard Is to apply the
same rule to the warning signal that is
applied to the speed at which the au-
tomobile may be d~riven-that is regnla-
ton.
IT is impossible to deal justly with
this problem on the basis of theory.
The fact that the purpose of an a,ito-
mobile warning signal Is to prevent ac-
cident means thai consideration thereof
must be of necessity the first step
taken. In legislating, or discussing the
warning signal question, therefore, II
cannot be Justly forgotten that this is
o matter of principle, and not of int
pulse.
The following signed statement in
this regard by Hudson Maxim, who Is
recognized as an International au
tbority in the matter of sound, Is of
especial interest
II am firmly convinced, from many
years of practical experience in auto
MODELLING, that the automobile must be
equipped with a distinctive signalling
device, capable of giving an effective
warning signal which must, of neces-
sity. in order to be a warning signal,
be q harsh and startling sound. Such
a signalling device enables the chauf-
feur to avoid many serious accidents,
-.1xiot. u.a,slA fnau{fa hlxF rpcit1t from the
employment of a device emitting a
pleasant or musical sound
Caution n skill on the part of he
chauffeur in the choice of speed and
in the use of his brakes are not alone
sufficient to prevent collisions. He
must be armed also with a strong,
effective warning signal.
1.-THE abolition of such warning de-
vices on automobiles operated in
crowded city streets would certainly
. result in injury to numerous persons
and the loss of many lives, with conse-
auent damage suits brought against
drivers and owners of automobiles.
The automobilist who makes un-
necessary use of his harsh sounding
signal horn is as liable to punishment
for misdemeanor as he would be were
he to go through the streets shouting
at the top OF his voice.
The antiquated bulb horn is about
as inefficient a signalling device as
could be devised. If the chauffeur hap
pens to become at all excited and at
tempts TO make an unusually loud
sound with it. the tongue generally
closes. With the result that it makes
no sound whatever.

NO TIRE CHANGES.

One of the most remarkable achieve
ments in automobile racing this year
vas the performance of the Delage car
driven by Bablot, winner of the great
international light car ace in France
this year. The Delage covered the en-
tire distance Of 1915 miles over the
rough and hilly Boulogne circuit with
out a single tire change. a wonderful
record considering the condition of the
roads.
The Delage and the next four cars
TO finish were all equipped with Niche

Comparative Figures Show Vast Diff

and What Fargo City Is Paying It's

ton Thoroughly.

Alderman Ohnstad has just returned
from Fargo where he has investigated
the light proposition thoroughly, the
result being that he is prepared to give
comparative figures on the cost of cleo
tricity in Devils Lake and Fargo.
According to the contract which the
Union Light, Heat & Power company
of Fargo has with the city, the thirty
two candle power lights which Devils
Lake pays $2.0S each for, according to
the July bill to the city, are furnished
at the rate of 81 on an all night scshed-
ule. The 1900 candle are lights in this
city on moonlight schedule cost $lO42
per month each, while in Fargo on a
1000 candle power, an all night sched-
ule rate of $500 is made.
On all other electricity the rate of
seven cents per killowat is made the
city Of Fargo and two per cent off the
profits Of the light company is given
the city each month, while in Devils
Lake the rate is ten cents per killo-
watt and the company keeps all the
profits.
Mr.. Ohnstad says that he is prepared
to meet any argument as result of
the figures he has obtained and is more
convinced than ever before that mu-

this point in keeping the land clean.
The extra labor in doing this will pay
for itself many times over, the follow.
ing season when the alfalfa is to be
grown.
In the early spring of the year fol-
lowing, the corn, stubble or potatoe
land should be disced. Later on the
soil should be worked occasionally un-
til late in May.
This working of the soil serves two
purposes. The main thing is to kill off
the young weeds which will terminate
during April and May. While cultiva-
| ton helped great deal in keeping the
previous cultivated crop in clean con-
dition, yet one invariably finds plenty
Of weeds coming up the next spring.
We find it quite important to keep the
new alfalfa crop as free from weeds
as possible, as the young alfalfa plants
are not good weed fighters.

KKNoX ELEVATOR WAS FIRST
ERECTED WEST OF DEVILS
LAKE-BUILT IN 1887.

The following from the Knox Adyo.
cate will be Of interest to people in
this section Of the country:
A crew of men arrived here this
week and commenced to take down the
old part of the st. Anthony & Dakota
Elevator. This part was built in 1887
and was the first elevator built in Knox
and among the first built west Of Dew
lis Lake. It was not a very modern
house at first and required a lot of hard
work in handling the grain which came
in fast sometimes as there was grain
hauled in here from the foot hills Of
the Turtle mountains, as much as IS
miles away. Many of the Island Lake
and Grass Lake people and other will
remember the cold drives they had in
the winter when hauling grain to this
elevator.
J. r. Collier of Devils Lake was the
first agent, the H. A. Nickolis Of Crazy
and M. E. Delemeter who was agent
for twelve years.

Yellowstone Park, Sept. 16.-Glazier
National Park, the youngest of United
States play grounds, also turns out to
be the most fortunate scenic spot with
in the United States government IS do
mains, since Walter L. Fisher, secretary
of the interior, today put himself on
record as being more vitality interested
in the development of the parks than
any predecessor that ever sat in pres
ident' cabinet. For instance, as re-
suit Of Secretary Fishers proclaimed
policy, it is predicted that in three
years this Newest Of United States
Wonderlands in northwestern Montana
will be viewed by as many tourists as
visited Yellowstone in 1911, the for
tieth year Of it's existence.
Glazier Park is only year old, hav-
ing been established by the 61st Con.
gress. Secretary Fisher, on his re-
turn from his investigation of Salt
Lake affairs, travelled all the way to
Yellowstone to attend conference Of
national park superintendent, govern
ment forestry and reclamation men and
railway representatives. Never before
has secretary of the interior depart
ment shown such interest in national
park affairs. In consequence men who
have watched the slow progress of Vel
lowstone in the last forty years Of gov
ernmental red tape now enthusiastically
declare that Glazier park. being Uncle
Sam s last born, will be especially ia
vored when the new strenuous policy Of
park Improvements is put into opera
ton. Secretary Fisher, when he learn
ed the facts concerning delayed road
building, road sprinkling and other i'm
provements, due to the lack of ade-
quate appropriations by Congress, gave
his auditors to understand that he
would return to Washington a strong
advocate of greater pride in the better
support of the new national park. A
new era in the nation IS parks is expect.

attitude. President Taft s new cabinet
officer would like to see the national
parks put under the direction of q
