TOWN AROUSED BY BURGLARIEs
Months About One Section of West Haven.

Citizens of the West Haven district
 in the town of Orange are greatly
 aroused over the epidemic of burglar
 ies which has begun to terrorize the
 town with marked emphasis within
 the past few weeks, and the talk is
 strong to the effect that there must
 be something accomplished soon by
 the town police to check the depre-
 dations or that the force must be in-
 creased to cope with the unprecedent- ed activity of the house breakers who have terrOriZed the center of the town. The matter has been brought to crisis by the report of the Lit tell burglary few days ago, and by
 the Terrell house-breaking last month. The fact that the burglars have WOrked one particular section of the town has added to the mystery and
 confirmed the opinion of many that one man or gang trained in the same school, is doing the work. The
 section of the town where the thiev- ing activities has been confined is | that bounded on the north by Elm | street, on the south by Main street
 and on the east by Washington ave- nue. The Terrell place is the one ex- ceptlon to this method of working. it being situated at 603 Savin avenue, outside of the victimized district. The burglarizing of the Littell house em-
 phasizes the fact that the burglars have returned to the scene of their strongest activity, Center street. The home of the Misses Littell is at 7s Center street. Other houses in Gen. ter street which have been entered since early summer are those of H. M. Hodges, Philip Winter and C. D. Hall. Other houses in that immediate vicin- | ity which have been relieved of many valuables are those of Addison Beck ! with, 367 Elm street; Harry Richards l on Richards place; Smith Penfield, 51 Oak street, and Herbert c. Ripley, 54: | few months twelve burglaries have | been reported to the pOlice

Stop Horn Nuisance Father of Chicago MuffIer ''Cut Out" Ordinance Talks on
 Warning Signals Would Stop Unnecessary Use of Auto Horns by Law

Tt is just as necessary to regulate
 the operation of, automobiles, and the
 use of the signal or horn, thereof, as
 it is to regulate the operation of the
 steam railroad Or the street railway.
 The public safety demands 1t. Even
 tually there will be a standardization
 of law in this regard, and even now
 the majority of smaller communities
 are following the example set by the
 larger"
 This is the view expressed by Alder man Charles M Thomson, of Chicago.
 known as the Father of the ordin- ance forbidding the use of the muffler cut-out, and regulating the use of the
 automobile horn or warning signal in Chicago making it mandatory that
 this signal shall only be used as warning of danger.
 Alderman Thomson's ordinance es- tbalished the precedent of requiring the use of the warning signal to be restricted to times of danger. His or dinanee was the first to put in the form of law the plain fact that the sole purpose of the automobile horn
 is to give warning of peril.
 Tt is of no us trying to beg the question:" said Alderman Thomson. My attention was first called to the need of legislation by the bedlam rais- ed by what seemed to me the unnec- essary use of the muffler cut out. was overwhelmed with complaints 1 from my constituents. As make it | lation looked into the matter care l fully and it was apparent that not ] only was the muffler cut-out so used l that 1t was a public nuisance, but 1 that the misuse of automobile warn 1 ing signals was an equal evil For this ! reason I introduced an ordinance which included sections covering both l points.
 That an automobile warning sig
 nal must be adequate is plain. To | be adequate 1t must warn instantly. l Its note should be harsh, abrupt, ef- | fective. The shrill, screeching signal
 is unnecessary. To say that the note l must be abroupt covers the case. We 1 do not want a musical signal, nor one which has to be sounded a number | of times to gain attention. The warm | ing the signal gives must be instan- l taneOus. A man who is warned needs l to get out of the danger zone without l stopping to think. He can think af-
 terward, but first he must escape the l danger
 l 'I recognize fully the fact that the use of the motor vehicle is rapidly in- creasing, and for this reason if for
 none other, regulation by law of the warning signal is essential. It can | not be considered as a toy, and who | ever uses it as such ought to be pun | ished. I have no desire to make war
 on the motorist, but the rights of the
 thousands of pedestrians who daily cross and recross our streets must be protected. I have no thought that the l majority of motorists hold any other view, but there is a careless element
 that must be restrained by law, if the l public is to be adequately protected First of all. the warning signal ! must be adequate, as have indicated. Second it must be 1ISed solely as a | warning of danger. Third, those who l are not willing to observe plain | public need must be punished for their I Indifference

How to Thoroughly
Groom Your Complexion
dadies' Home Magazine. )

We spank little children when
they won't have their faces washed;
while SO out Of every 100 grown-ups
fail almost daily to wash their
faces properly. We were all born
with good complexions, but because
We haven't taken care of them, the
pores accumulate germs, dirt and
cutfcle parasites, and hinder the
natural efficacy Of the SKIN to per-
form its function. From this slug
gish state, more serious ills result,
such as pimples, liver spots, sal
lowness. etc. A genuine specific is
necessary and 1t Is useless to put
ter about with massage creams or
lotions. The best specific that we
know of is pure coleated balsam.
Its effect upon the cuticle Is almost
electrical, while at the same time it
Is perfectly harmless and natural.
1t simply clears the complexion.
Get an ounce and a half Of your
druggist and use 1t instead of cold
creams or lotions. 1t will restore
your complexion to the beautiful
texture and that Of childhood, and
your skin will be without a blem-
ish and glowing with health and
youth.
