n MOTORS VOICE.
Frenchnaa's 1nquiry 1nto the
Warnings Of the Devil Wagon.

M. Marags recently laid before the
Academy Of Sciences In Paris his OBJ
servations on the various horns with
which motor cart are equipped. II
r. evidently a complex study. Noise.
not musical sound, IL the especial
glory Of the automobile horn, and no
other instrument 10 40 beautifu lly
adapted to display the terror and the
grandeur Of cacophony.
Noise. however. defeats its own pur-
pose by shocking the nerves. II ID
wiser TO offer less noise and thereby
less shock. II 10 q fallacy. says the
French writer. to suppose that noise
produces safety to the public. Manu-
%facturers. seemingly. are governed by
this notion. Ineffective a. Il has
proved; TO them It appears that In
order to rouse the public's attention
noise Ia all that Ia needed.
Experience does not support this
view. The people are accustomed ia
noise, and one noise. moro or less,
fails to arouse their attention. The
case Is different with musical sounds.
In most musical notes the fundamen-
tai or gravest tone Is present IN sum.
Client intensity 10 impress its character
on the whole. NJ. Marage thinks
therefore that motor cart should he
equipped with a horn that has two
notes. q fundamental grave tone, and
a sharp. warning high note.
With characteristic French regard
for the comfort OF living. he adds that
the a or musical tone should be
used In cities. since II does not reach
far and does mo- fatigue the citizen.
Here 10 q practical and philanthropic
idea to he recorded in the interest Of
the public. The effect Of noise in I'M
dermining vitality and nerves has
been IN accurately defined.
NJ. Manages rule IL good sense and
obedience to musical law. For IN the
daily use of u ears our object II
to disentangle from the whole mass Of
sound tibet may reach W. the parts
coming from sources that may inter
est us At the moment. Undoubtedly
II interests us nj the moment to know
that a man IL fitting at us In a go
horsepower touring car. But we
are sometimes deaf to the piglike
squeal Of his horn.

Washington. Dec. 4.-That the Inter
ests Ut national defense require that
control of railway lines should rest
with the federal government aud not
with the states was the claim ao'
vaneed by Alfred p. Thorn, connse

Committee. In concluding bis prelim-
mary statement VI the case for the
railways before the NewiandS joint

halt aud weaken our transportation

Mr.. Thorn cited many Instances IN
which shippers In II state were III

lions imposed on the railroads by

that federal. regulation would he no In
vasion Of the rights Of the states but
would be the means Of preserving the
rights which they acquired when they
entered the IIniOu. me OF which was
the right to the free movement OF their
products state boundaries.

The principles which the railroads
believe should he incorporated ~ any
tust system Of regulation were sum.
marized BY Mr.. Thorn MS follows:
I. The entire power and duty Of reg.

national government. except rs to mat
tiers 50 essentially local and Incidental
that they cannot be used to Interfere
with the efncieney Of the service or the
Just rights Of the carriers.
2. As one Of the means Of accom-.
piishing. this. a system of compulsory
federal incorporation should be adopt.
ed, into which should be brought all
railroad corporations engaged In inter
state or foreign commerce.
g. The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion under existing laws has too much
to do and Ii charged with conflicting

SOUVENIRS FOR BRIDES.
New York Suffragists TIE" Each New
Wife Power Vot, VAR I'D BrinQ.


New York.-Little american flags
and suffrage buttons We're given out at
the marriage license bureau to all the
brides of the greater city recently by
New York city suffragiSts. The dem
onstratiou took place just as the sol
diers were called out to camp, and so
many of the brides were fearful little
war brides, TO whom the American
flags presented by the suffragists were
peculiarly appropriate. With the flags
and buttons each bride received box
of wedding cake tied with suffrage rib
bon and a brides leatlet advising each
new wife of the power she might gain
for husband and children if she had
the vote.
The leaflet told Of the good laws wo-
men have helped to gain in the twelve
suffrage states for the protection of
men, women and children. 1t ended
with an appeal to every bride 10 join
the suffrage movement, which is en-
deavoring to extend the wife and
mother influence throughout the state"
Chief Scully entered heartily into the
plans of the sufiragists and permitted
them to trim up the marriage chapel in
the municipal bureau with yellow flow

When near Kalama. Wash, he was

agents got into the car and rode sixty
miles, thanking him for his courtesy
and sportsmanlike spirit, as they left
to strike off into the hills.
a few miles out from Salem, Fitzger-
aid came upon an auto going north. In
the party was Miss Jeanette Draper,
daughter of John Draper, driver Of the
car. 1t was love at first sight. Fitz-
gerald discovered that it was neces-
sary for him to return as far as Salem

four days ended in Miss Draper be-

mother continued north, bride and
