ton, THE MICHIGAN HOTEL is the ideal place for
a weekend automobile party. The roads leading
to New London from all points are excellent
But most important is the fact that this hotel
within little more than two hours distance of New
York, can furnish an attractive home at prices which
many people of refined tastes can afford to pay but
who cannot afford similar luxuries in the city of
New York, or any other large city. One not only
gets these luxureS and comforts in New London,
and gets them at from one-half to one-third the
price, but gets measure of health in the simple life
of that town and its fresh nvigorating sea breezes
that New York and Boston cannot furnish
Moreover the prices at which you can secure a
good home at THE MICHIGAN HOTEL are much
less than it would cost you to produce equal COM
forts and equal uxures and an equal grade of living
in an individual home of your own.

SEATTLE DEFINES
AUTO WARNING SIGNAL

SEATTLE, Wash, April Spy a
new law, which has just gone into
effect, all adequate automobile warn
ing signals may be used in Seattle,
provided the motorist does not sound
more than two abrupt blasts of his
signal in succession at any one time.
The long blast of any signal or the
continuous blowing of the same is
forbidden. Furthermore, the law
makes it mandatory that the mo-
torist sound his signal whenever
danger exists to pedestrian or We
hicle from the approach of the au.
tomobile
An adequate signal is defined as
one producing IAN abrupt note suf-
ficiently loud to be heard over the
noise of traffic"
Up to the time of the passage of
this amendment. motorists were for
hidden to use the common type of
high-powered electric signal, as this
was reserved for the exclusive use
of the police, fire and health depart
ment automobiles.
Few cities require an adequate au-
tomobile warning signal as much as
Seattle Many months Of the year
both rain and fog are common, and
the extremely hilly nature of the city
makes it impossible. in many in
stances, for even slow moving auto
mobiles to come TO a stop suddenly
as is necessary in emergency.
1t was the imperative need of the
general use of a high-powered signal
and the increasing number of acct
dents resulting from the use of the
bulb horn, that were responsible in a
great measure for the change.
Seattle motorists were largely in
strumental in bringing about the new
law and it is generally regarded as
the right move to decrease the auto
mobile accident record in Seattle
