FINES ENFORCE BAN
ON ELECTRIC HORNS
AutomobiIists Warned Not to
Use Device at Night When in
Baltimore.
Hy HARRY WARD.

Washington motorists passing through
Baltimore will do well to bear in mind
the fact that the use Of electric horns
Is prohibited at night Recently fifty
or more automobile drivers, several OF
whom were from Washington, were ar
rested in Baltimore for sounding their
election horns at night and subsequent
ly were fined 81 and costs.
This was the first step of the police
authorities of Baltimore toward en-
forcing the new Maryland State auto
mobile law, which prohibits the use of
any signaling device other than a bulb
horn within the limits OF any city, town
or village of Maryland during the per-
iod from one hour after sunset to one
hour before sunrise.
Notice has been given that hereafter
this law will be strictly enforced. This
provision of the law is absolute and
with q bulb horn or not.
Another provision of the new law ex-
pressly prohibits the cutting-out of
mufflers on automobiles and motor
cycles within the limits of cities,
towns, and villages of Maryland at any
hour Of the day or night.
The commissioner Of motor vehicles
q Maryland has called attention to the
fsct that under the new law the maxi
mum speed of all motor vehicles and
motorcycles when operated on the high
ways Of Maryland is not under any
conditions to be over thirty-hve miles
per hour. Whenever 1t comes to the
knowledge of the commissioner that
such speed has been exceeded, he states,
ne will NOT hesitate IN SIISnRnd the Ii
cense of any person who violates this
section of the law. Il can imagine no
conditions and no emergency in which
an excess of thirty-five miles an hour
would be allowable on any of the high
ways OF this State.'' said Commissioner
Roe.
AS many Washington motorists pass
through Baltimore on their trips to out
side points, heed should be taken of
the commissioners warning.
