MAY TOOT AUTO HORN
ONLY TO WARN OF DANGER

Charles Thaddeus Terry, general
counsel for the American Automobile
association and probably the highest
authority on automobile legislation in
the United States, makes the follow
ing statement concerning the new au-
tomobile ordinance just passed by the
council of Chicago.
"To my mind, the new Chicago or
dinance is long step in advance of
similar legislation that has gone be-
fore. The unique and most import
ant part of it is the action taken re-
garding the use Of horns.
"For the first time in my knowl-
edge, a successful effort has been
made to define a suitable signal and
to prescribe the proper use of such a
signal.
Practically every automobile law in
this country calls for suitable or
adequate warning signal. But it re-
mained for Chicago to give definite
Interpretation of these two very am
biguous words.
"The new ordinance there requires
that automobiles be equipped with
a signal which shall produce an
abrupt note, sufficiently loud to ade-
quately warn 1t further provides
that such signal must not be used
except as warning of danger In
both respects it is unprecedented.
"I believe that the passage Of this
ordinance in Chicago and in other
cities which are adopting similar or
dinances, will do much toward solving
the question of unnecessary noise
which is so generally being agiiated.
The unnecessary use of autoriohile

The former senator was prompted

sion of the opening of next year S
campaign. The banquet will not be
an invitatonal affair but will be open
to every Republican, man or woman,
who cares to attend. Committees for
the final preparation for the banquet
have been appointed and the work of
making it the greatest affair in the
history of the Republican party in
Colorado has already begun.
The special committee appointed by
Chairman Mcdonald which represents
every belief in the party, held its fest
meeting Thursday night with full
attendance and decided to hold a ban
euet at which women will oe given
equal representation with the nie,,
and which will cost So per plate
Chairman Mcdonald was authorized
to appoint committees to have charge
of arranging the program, and those
committees have been announced as
follows:
Committee on speakers-Harry Kel-
ly, chairman; Hubert Work, J. S. Tenn
pie, Samuel Nicholson, John B. Ste
phen.
Banquet committee-E. II. McClen-
ahan, chairman; VIM. P. Slocum, ID.

Committee on decoration-MrsT Tha-
liza Rhoads, Mrs. Helen NJ. Wixon, Mrs.

The general committee selected
Chairman Mcdonald as the chairman
for the general committee. The gen
eral committee will be the committee
on reception. Thus, the reception COM
mittee will be composed Of the twen-
ty-four members of the general COM
mittee and Chairman Mcdonald.
The Thursday night meeting was
one of perfect harmony. Taft, La
Toilette and Roosevelt Republicans
met on an equal basis and, forgetting
all differences and desires for candi-
dates and platform principles, went
to work with a will to arrange q Lin
coin day program that will please all
Colorado Republicans. The Union Re-
publican club had arranged with Sem
ator Beveredge to address banquet
which they were preparing but they
volunteered to abandon their banquet
and allow Senator Beveredge to ad-
dress the general Republican banquet
This was satisfactory to all in at
tendance and it was agreed to have
the Indiana senator as the principal
speaker.
II see no reason" said Chairman
Mcdonald, "why there should be the
slightest difference among Republic
ans over any question that cannot be
adjusted through friendly rivalry at
the primaries. Thursday nights
meeting showed that they were all
willing to get together on a friendly
basis and to come more than half
way. In the appointment of the va
rious committees | have tried and be-
lieve / have recognized all beliefs. If
there Is anyone who is not satisfied,

to any faction or belief that is over
looked, will rectify the mistake"

A fierce fight is now in progress. Ac-
cording to reports current in govern

them an opportunity of avoiding the

By the terms of the agreement dele

inmate in victory for the republican

WHILE one may continue to wear
w kmono sleeves and make up next

w kimono sleeves and make up next
summers dresses that way set-in
sleeves are really the latest fashion. But
they are not like the old set-in sleeves.
for the armholes are enlarged more or
less and either draped or raised at the
shoulders, and the sleeves are set in
without fullness and stitched after the
manner of shirt sleeves; that is, the body
part is stitched over on to the sleeve.
When making a waist with peasant
sleeves snip the seam at the pit of the
arm and insert a piece of the material
about an inch and a half square. The
result in comfort will surprise you. Do
ing this will not only enable you to raise
your arm with greater ease and to a
greater height but it will also prevent
straining and pulling of the material.
The short wide elbow or three-quarter
kilnono sleeve is much worn and is the
most comfortable to use in the summer
likes the idea short pulled sleeve of
fine net may be inserted under your wide
Hmono sleeve a few inches below the
elbow to make it more dreSSy.
Often an entire waist is Of lace, with
the body portion Of sheer chiffon or mar
quiSette, or this order is reversed and
lace is used in a little sort Of casque or
pinafOre, sometimes extending in apron
effect below the waist line over the
skirt. This is a graceful fashion and
makes the skirt more in unison with the
blouse, and not so much separate gar
ment.
