NEW SIGNAL NSURES
PEDESTRIANS SAFETY
Charles Murray. President of Safety
Electric Rim Signal Company.
Explains Device.

According to reports from Middletown
Ohio, where the new "Serco" safety cleo.
trio rim signal is made. considerable
business is being booked. and it is pre-
dicted that at least two or three OF the
best known and largest selling cars in
America will feature this device on their
1916 models.
The "Serco" signal is a new invention
fully covered by PATENTS and is said to
be the only device which gives the driv-
er absolute control of his car under all
conditions. and at the same time affords
ready access to the signal without shift
ing the hands-no matter in what posi-
ton the wheels may be.
There are eight push buttons on the
steering wheel, one always within easy
excess and it can be operated without
removing the hands from the steering
wheel In traffic jams. one hand is free
to shift speeds, the other to steer and
sound the signal. The 'Serco" safety
electric rim signal can be readily installed
on any car, no matter what signal device
has already been attached.
Motorists depend upon their brakes to
stop their cars said Charles Murray,
president of the Safety Electric Rim Sig
nal Company. land on their signals to
clear the way ahead. Manufacturers have
SO designed tnelr machines tndI tue
brake can be operated by the drivers
foot. but no such provision has ever
been made for operating the signal. Oft
times the driver finds he hasn't time to
bring the car to a stop before reach
ing the pedestrian. In such cases he
hasn't time to warn him unless there's
'Serco' safety electric rim signal be-
meath his hand. When you need your
signal, you need both hands on the wheel.
We are finding a ready demand for
the 'Serco' and already have had some
fattering offers for our proposition, but
we ourselves are going to exploit the
device. We expect to close some large
contracts with manufacturers very soon
and may also place 'Serco' in the hands
of agents. as they are asking for it to
take advantage OF the big demand from
owners of used cars"

EMPLOYE OF ASTOR
ARRESTED AT RACES
Secretary Red6eld May Act in Case
of Man Charged with Crossing
Prohibited River Course.

New York. July action by Sec
rotary Of Commerce Redfeld is expect
ed soon in the arrest Of man in
charge Of Vincent Astor's tender of
the yacht Nouma, who. it has been dis
closed today, was arrested at the boat
races at Poughkeepsie on June 20 for
crossing the course despite the orders
of coast guard officers to turn back.
The Coast Guard officers have filed a
with the Department of Com
merce, which can revoke the mans
license and impose a fine of $500. The
states that the man ignored
the orders of the officers and was en-
superior speed Of his craft. The police
gave chase. and caught him while he
was at a pier landing some of Mr..
Astor's guests.
Mr.. Aston sent q complaint concern
ing the incident against the Coast
Guard officers. All accounts of the con-
duct Of the Aston yacht tender indi-
cate that the charges against the man
in charge Of 1t will be pressed by the
officers who arrested him.
When the Aston yacht had been an
chored below Poughkeepsie. at the
place whence those aboard were to
view the boat races, some of Mr.. As
tors guests desired to cross the river
to Highland and there board the West
Shore Railroad observation train. They
preferred to follow along the shore the
crews struggling for victory instead Of
stopping aboard the Nouma to watch
the contestants ~ they passed toward
the finish line below the Aston yacht.
The tender then left the yacht and
crossed the course with the guests. This
Is the violation complained Of

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY and YOURS
By MARY MARSHALL.
July l1-Susan Warner.

Whatever may be women's limita-
tons in the field of letters there is
no doubt of the fact that in the
realm of popular writing American
womer have far surpassed their male
competitors. The names of Harriet
doubtedly the most popular book ever
produced by an American writer,
stands at the head of the list with
Julia Ward Howe. whose Battle
Hymn % the Republic" is easily the
most widely read poem of American
authorship. Among popular novel
writer's the name of Susan Warner
takes high rank, for it would be hard
TO find book among the writings of
men to compare in popularity with
The Wide. Wide World"
Susan Warner was born July IL,
1920. and was brought up with her
sister, Anna Bartlett, who was year
her Junior, in their home in New York.
The two sisters early showed their
fondness for writing. and Anna led
the way with Dollars and Cents"
which met with some popularity. My
Brothers Keeper" was another favor
lite OF a decidedly moralizing style of
writing. 1t was when Anna was 80
that she wrote The Wide. Wide
World" originally intended for a book
for Juveniles. 1t proved popular with
old and young alike and sold to the
extent of 100000 copies being trans
lated in French and German. "Queechy,"
which like The Wide, Wide World"
was written in two volumes. follow
ed and this enjoyed the honor of a
Swedish translation. Its popularity
was almost as great as the former
successful book.
The Hills of the Shatemuc." a
patriotic poem written by Susan War
ner sold to the extent of 5000 copies
the first day of its publication.
Like many writers whose books
sold up into the hundred of thou
sands. Susan Warner did not enjoy
such high favor from the critics as
she did from the public, and. especially
within late years, her books have been
the butt of no little unfavorable crit
icism. They belong decidedly to the
"eoody-goody" type of fiction. in
which the style often suffers because
Of the too obvious moral of the story.
Susan Warner wrote under the pen
name. elizabeth wetherar." and IT is
by that name that she Is best known.

piper. He got all het up into a perfect
frenzy as he proceeded with his piece
and he declared that anybody who
couldn't or wouldn't dance to his music
was 'fit for treason, stratagems and
spoils.p together with job lot OF
worse things.
In certain pulpit we heard a
preacher piping his tune with great
gusto. 1t was quite evident that he
liked his own music and was thorough.
,y persuaded that It was the only AL,
unadulterated brand In existence. This
child OF the ecclesiastical market place
was an exceedingly earnest player and
as his rhapsody reached ecstatic stages
he began to bless out folks who didn't
take to his tune but preferred pieces
that harmonized with their own tastes.
These any many other children OF
the markets" whom we might mention
are indeed funny fellows. One trouble
with them is that they take their own
piping too seriously. The idea that
there are other pipers who are licensed
to play pieces of their own liking never
percolates their craniums. To these
peevish pipers there is only one kind
OF music and 1t is little short OF crime
II everybody doesn't dance to 1t.
Oh. you foolish. fretful children of

the Master Musician made many pipers
and many melodies. all OF which fit
into the great chorus that makes up
the grand world harmony? Don't
you know that your own piping is
pitfully small part OF the program,
that 1t is very ridiculous for you to
expect everybody to dance to your
tune aud that It is sinful for you .o
