MISS GLASER'S OWN STORY

a chat regarding her stage career, said:
My first engagement was with Francis
Wilson. I was given a chance to under

Is Ray Montgomery and the Healey Sis

rapid-fire sort, and the girls are beauti-
full creatures possessing exceptional voices
and are good dancers.
Ray Montgomery and the Healey sisters
in themselves are sufficient headliners for
any burlesque organization in existence,
and yet Counihan & Shannon, with their
usual outlay, have secured the services OF
several other great acts, chief among
which Is Caliente, the famous Spanish
whirlwind dancer.
Her equal in her own line OF work IS
unknown. Another brilliant feature is a
new prima donna, Miss Lillian Smalley,
late of the Madame Sherry company.

 eff the British makers are to fight the Am ericans successfully they nave noN time at all to 1ose," writes Max Pemberton, a leading authority on motoring in London. "Other indus tries have been through the ordeal and emerged triurnphantly. It can Abe done in the motor trade even yet but some coats must first come off and some good right arms be barred. Our people had the oldest notions about American cars a few years ago. The apparent ,fragility of the frames, the curious 'tinny' aspect of much of the highly standardized work, the evil reputation of their predecessors made the selling of a Yankee car upon this side task worthy of a Jew from Odessa. But the years have rolled on; we have seen many of these cars upon the road; we have heard excit- bility; we have studied the. photo graphs which show them braving roads in America which seem to us unspeakable; we have heard and seen all this, and gradually we have come to put our prejudice aside and to get down to reality. The cars will go; there is no doubt of it. They are not the shams we once believed them to be-. they have pleased thousands of British owners; they are for the mo- ment the supreme problem for all whose interests are at home and 1n- dustrial.

(Speclal from United Press.
 New Haven, Oct 9-'eThe first thing that strikes a European student when he enters an American university is the absolute indifference of the stu dent bodies to the social and political life of their country said Alexander Trtctenberg, a Russian. attending the Yale graduate school, in the Yale .ews, today.

to be made any loud or unnecessary noise with the bell, horn or any other signal device with which his car fs equipped, or to use the same except as a warning of danger.
 t.It is not so much the character. Of the warning signal as it's unnecessary use which is objectionable. That the use of an adequate warning signal upon motor cars is a necessity is al- most universally recognized, and, In- deed. required by law in Illinois and nearly all of the United States. That this signal should be capable of pro- ducing a sufficient volume of sound to be heard under all circumstauces is equally necessary, and that the bulb horn is both undependab1e and so feeble in sound that the rattle Of surrounding traffic frequently makes it impossible to be heard, is a matter of common knowledge.
 "The continuous use of any sort of warning signal is uncalied for and highly objectionable and should be prohibited by law. It is, however, just as reasonable to prohibit the uss adequate for the purpose for which fr is used, merely because its improper and unnecessary use may amount to nuisance, as it would be to sever a. mans vocal cords in order to prevent him from being guilty of disorder1y conduct or a breach of peace by shouting Or singing in public places
 "The solution of both problems is not to deprive the individual of the power of speech, nor to prohibit the use upon a motor car of an adequate warming signal, but to regulate ths use of each by law. As in cases Of reckless driving the ill-considered and unnecessary use of a warning signal of any sort by the irresponsible mo- torist results in the introduction and frequent passage of unnecessarily drastic laws and ordinances"

SILENCE THE MUFFLER CUT-oUT
Sidney s. GOrham,. the Western Au- tOmobile Expert, Urges on the Crusade Against Unneces-
 SaFy Noise

Since the motor car has come into such general use and the early antag- onism against it has so largely disap- peared, it is most unfortunate that the use of the mufffer cut-out is not prohibited by law in every city ana heavy penalties provided for the v1o- lation of the statute or ordinance gov- erning the subject
 This is the view of Sidney s. Cor ham, of Chicago, author of the pres ent Illinois automobile law, organizer of the Illinois State Automobile As sociatiOn, and recognized as the lead- ing expert in automobile law in the West. MT. Gorham's practice has in cluded almost every phase of auto mobile law, and he couples with this a wide experience as a practical mo- torist.
 'The mdffIer cut-out,'' MT. Gorham continued, ''is in great measure re- sponsible for the existing a1tagonfsm of, the public against the motorist. As practical motorist of ten years ex- perience, my opinion is that the muf- fer cut-out is not necessary feat ure of the equipment of the modern motor car and that it's use as a warn ing signal should not be permitted.
 'In many sections of the country, the subject of the regulation of warn ing signals is being considered by the various legislative bodies and on this
  for experiment. The adequate warn ing signal must have harsh, sabrupt note, that gives the impression of inn minent danger. A warning signal is not play-toy. It has a serious mission, and | believe it unwise to use for a warning signal any device which lacks the harshness. the abrupt note that is immediately recognized as warning of danger.
 Emergencies sometimes arise, es- pecially in cities, through no fault of the driver of the motor car, which, to avoid serious injury, call for imme- diate action, not only by the motorist but by the person or persons in dan ger The unnecessary use of the warning signal iessens its effective ness at just such times as is aptly il frustrated by the fable of the boy who cried Wolf, Wolff! when no wolf was near, and when the wolf finally did some and he called for help, no one responded, and the wolf devoured him.
 Chicago has very properly taken the position that it shall be unlaw- ful for any n1otorist to make or cause
