AUTO ACCIDENTS RESULT FROM
FAILURE TO SOUND HORN.

Safety on the public highway 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 en-
forced 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 requirements has contributed
to more than majority of the smash
ups and collisions which come before
the public eye.
Therefore, it would certainly seem
that the day of the bulb horn is past.
At best, this device-with its feeble
indispensable "honk"-is an absolute
ly inadequate warning signal. 1t has
neither the power to warn at any dis
lance, nor the consistency to perform
| it's task in a uniform manner. 1t
seems to delight in uttering any de-
gree of sound which varies from a
cultural cough to a wheeze of the
staccato type. Surely, there can be
no argument for such a continuance
when life and property are dependent
upon the performance of its duty. II
is the almost universal opinion Of pc
lice officials and experienced motor
lists that the bulb-horn must go-ant

tivity at the strident tones of the real
ly efficient motor car signals, and, at
the time, we have resented what
seemed to 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 lulled into
false sense of security when danger
is at hand. The warning signal nuts
ance' is very largely 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.
There is, of course, and always
will be, the malicious smart motorist.
