PLAN A GIGANTIC SUN DIAL
Paris Committee Would Thus Trans
form the Place Vendome-Not
New Idea.

Paris.-The old Paris committee,
municipal body charged with the
preservation of the ancient landmarks
of the city, is now considering the
remarkable proposal of member that
the Place Vendome be made a gigan-
tic sun dial, with Napoleon's column
as the pointer. All that is required,
says Jules Vacquier, the promoter OF
the idea, is to mark the roadway sur.
rounding the column with a circle OF
large figures inlaid in the wood pave
ment, which will thus give Paris an
immense natural clock of absolute &C.
curacy.
This curious suggestion is much
commented upon, and 1t is thought
probable that the Paris municipal
council will soon carry 1t out. 1t is
recalled. however, that the idea is not
entirely original, as the same use was
proposed for the Place Vendome ana
its bronze column in the early part OF
the last century.

SIGHT OF DEATH SILENCES
Former Policeman Loses Entire Con-
troll of Voice When Auto Kills
Woman.

Savannah-As result OF witness
ing the fatal accident to Miss Mary
Moore, who was run over and killed
by an automobile, Captain S. N, Har-
ris. a former police officer, is suffer
ing from hysterical laryngitis, which
has temporarily deprived him OF the
use of his voice. Physicians state
that the malady is not serious and
that his voice probably will return to
him as quickly as it left him.
AS a police officer, Captain Harris
saw men killed and MANNED under
many circumstances, but he was un'
able to stand the sight of young girl
crushed under a heavy touring car.
He was the first on the scene after the
accident and he played an important
part in rescuing the body of the young
woman from the wheels Of the ma
chine. His voice became hoarse i'm
mediately and d few hours later he
was unable to talk at all.
Captain Harris says he never saw
anything quite so horrible in all his
experience.

LITTLE EMPIRE CAR
SHOWS WORTH IN TOUR
Smallest and Cheapest Ma
chine in Trip Keeps Pace
With Big Brothers

''The little Empire car which is at
present racing across California with
the Indiana manufacturers tour in
concerted effort to arrive in San Fran
cisco on schedule has won for itself
national fame" says o. c. Mcfarland
of the Osen-McFarland Automobile COM
pany of San Francisco.
"It is the smallest and cheapest car
in the tour, but at all times has kept
pace with it's larger brothers. The car
has had no mechanical trouble and
practically no tire trouble, also it has
been very successful in getting over
bad spots unassisted. In this respect it's
light weight gives 1t a slight advantage.
The performance of the Empire car
has a deeper significance. For some
time the small. low priced car has been
popular in the cities, and In many cases
some long trips have been made with
them, but now that a tiny Empire has
crossed the continent, averaging ap-
proximately 147 miles day over all
kinds of roads and in many kinds Of
weather a precedent has been estab-
lished and a question of much import
ance answered. 1t is now proven that
