ACCIDENTS RESULT
FROM FAILURE TO

Safety on the public highways de-
Ponds. and must depend very largely.
upon the ability of the motorist to give
adequate warning OF the approach of his
car 1t is for this reason that statutes
are being more vigorously enforced
which require the automobilist to sound
his horn at all obviously dangerous
crossings and points where congestion of
traffic may occur.
The history OF countless accidents has
shown that failure to observe these re-
quirements has contributed to more than
a majority of the smash-ups and COLI
sions which come before the public eye
Therefore. II would certainly seem
that the day of the bulb horn is past.
At best this device-with its feeble. un-
dependable 'honk'-is an absolutely in
adequate warning signal II has neither
the power to warn at any distance. nor
the consistency TO perform its task in a
uniform manner. 1t seems to delight in
uttering any degree Of sound which
varies from cultural cough to a
wheeze OF the staccato type. Surely.
there can be no argument for such a
contrivance when life and property are
dependent upon the performance of IT'S
duty. 1t is the almost universal opinion
of police officials and experienced motor

The signal of the motor car must be

There are doubtless many Of us who
have been startled into unusual ac-
tivity at the strident tones OF the really
efficient motor car signals. and. at the
time we have resented what seemed 10
be an unnecessary offense to our self
respect.
However. the streets and highways
are no place to dream, and there is small
satisfaction in being !ulled into a false
sense OF security when danger is at
hand. The warning signal nuisance is
very largely a public veal. The very
signals which unthinking people condemn
have been perhaps the means Of driving
your child from the path of an oncoming
car: whereas the obsolete bulb horn
would have been altogether ineffective.

PRESENT OFFICER
WITH NEW AUTO
Thirteen Hundred Members of En-
gineers' Society Honor Cocker
F. Clarkson.

New York. Sept. s.-Thirteen hundred
members Of the American Society OF
Automobile Engineers united in for
mally presenting Secretary and Gen
eral Manager Cocker F. Clarkson. of the
society. with a handsome new 1918
Hudson car
The gift is an appreciation of Mr.
Clarkson's efficient service in further
ing the cause of standar dizaton in mo-
tor car engineering. and thus accom-
pliShinG the saving Of many thousands
of dollars to motorists by means OF
ratified engineering standards.
The decision of the motor car ex-
pertS of every factory in America to
make their officer a present of a Hud-
son automobile was made at a recent
convention, but not until to-day, when
the presentation was made. was the
idea, along with the type and construc-
ton OF the car. divulged. Mr.. Clark
sons car is a big five-passenger tour
ing model. fully equipped with the
electric self-cranking system, electric
lights, twelve-inch upholstery. jew
eled speedometer clock, rain-vision
windshield. and every known convent
ence which constitute the stock equip
ment of the car. which, because it was
the choice of 1900 engineers. is said
to he engineering perfection.
For over a year Mr.. Clarkson has been
whipping into shape the so-called auto
mobile Standards, and to his work is
partially due the savings of many thou
sands or dollars to American mOtordom.
1t has put the motor car within the
reach of many more families because
standardization" is basiCally a form of
engineering economy. Since the founding
of the now famous standards commit
tee of the American Society of Auto
mobile Engineers by Howard E. Coffin
much OF concrete value to the automobile
owner has been entered upon the So
ciety's records by its expert investigators.
The organization OF 1901 experts paid
high tribute to the Hudson. which is
the creation of forty-eight leading en-
gineers. a number of whom are mem
bers Of the society, by selecting this
model for gift to Mr.. Clarkson. The
latter has been engaged in motor car work
for number of years. and is one of the
pioneers OF the industry.
He was elated when he was informed
OF the nature of the gift of the men,
bers, and expressed qualification that his
work in the interests Of a broader motor
car field should have been worthy of
the appreciation of his fellow-members
The Standards work is the largest
enterprise into which the society has
entered, and the misgivIngs that It was
too great to be successfully handled have
been swept away during Mr.. Clarkson's
occupancy of the sec.etaryship. AS a
consequence. the gift of the motor car
in reality marks the accomplishment OF
a standard" engineering epoch in the
automobile industry.

THE FIRST SILK STOCKINGS.
Until Time of Henry VII All Hose

From the New York Herald.
Up until the time OF Henry VII stock
ings were made out OF ordinary cloth
the Kings own were made out of yard
wide taneta It was only by chance
that he might obtain a pair Of silk hose
from Spain. His son, Edward VI. re-
ceived as a present from Sir Thomas
Gresham "a pair of long silk stockings"
For some years longer silk stockings con-
tinued to be a great rarity. Says Stow:
In the second year Of Queen Eliza
beth her silk woman, Mistress Montague.
presented her Majesty with a pair OF
black knit stockings for a New Years
gift; the which, after a few days wear
ing, pleased her highness so well that
she sent for Mistress Montague and ask
ed her where she had got them. and II
she could help her to any more. who
answered. saying. I made them very
carefully. OF purpose only for your Maj
esty. and seeing these please you so well,
l will presently set more in hand
"'Do So. quoth the Queen, for indeed
like silk stockings so well, because
they are pleasant, fine and delicate. that
henceforth l will wear no more cloth
stockings
And from that day up to her death
the Queen never wore cloth. but only
silk stockings"

The worlds series manager regrets
that he was unable to prepare the re-

work caused by the rush in his depart

candidates and their friends who had
votes and subscriptions to turn in. From
early morning until u o'clock last night
there was a steady stream OF enthusi-

A large number of subscriptions We're
turned in. and as a result the standings
OF the candidates in all the districts will
be materially increased. The new stand

some big changes can be looked for, but

Tenn. Mr. Cowie left Washington about
ten days ago in his purple Cole and
drove the entire distance to Nashville
without once stopping his motor. The
speedometer showed a total mileage OF
975 when he arrived in Nashville. Ur-
gent business matter demanded Mr.. Cow
les immediate return TO Washington and
therefore he was forced to leave the
Cole in the South. AS soon as he can
spare the time. he will. no doubt. go to

the life of him see why all major league
teams pass up Johnny Beall. the WASH
ington boy. who for two years has led
the Western League in hitting, and who
is a grand outielder.

Bealrs great trouble is his inability
to get into condition until hot weather.
The Chicago White Sox took him to the
coast with them three years ago. and
because he failed to get into shape dur
ing the early spring practice, Beall was
allowed to drift to the minors.
Kenworthy declares that If Griff was

would have filled the bill providing. Of
