California olice
Test Auto Horns

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. .
The traffic police here have Just COM
pleted an official test of the bulb
horn as an automobile warning sig
nal.
So far, as is, .knawn, this Is. the
first test of the kind ever made.
Members OF the traffic squad went
up and down various streets where
the parking OF automobiles is per-
mitted and blew the bulb horns at
ltached to some four hundred cars.
OF this number only two gave what
might be termed an adequate warn
ing-that is, one that could be heard
more than fifty feet away. The 9TH
,ers emit'ri so slight a sound that 1t
could be barely heard at all. In
every case ii was impossible to OBJ
tain anything but a wheeze when
the bulb was grasped quickly, thus
demonstrating that as an emergency
the bulb horn Is absolutely useless.
The test was conducted secretly
by the police for the purpose OF gain
ing first-hand information on the au-
tomobile arning signal question,
now leading issue here, and the
city council for solution. It's results
will In all probability have an inn
portant influence upon the enactment
OF the ordinance recently introduced
requiring the MSS of signals OF
greater power and dependability.
Especial interest IS lent TO the test
by the fact that the record OF acct
dents resulting from fhe failure to
hear automobile horns shows that -
per cent Of these occurred at cross
ings where the noise OF traffic liz such
that an efficient signal il absolutely
necessary.
