AUTOISTS WARNED
ABOUT VIOLATIONS
Commissioner Pou Calls Attention to
Numerous Violations.

Commissioner Pou yesterday issued
statement in which he called the at
tention of autoists to the frequency
with which the traffic ordinances of
the city are violated. He said that
complaints had become altogether too
frequent, and that every officer had
been warned to enforce the ordinances

use of cutouts, the parking of cars
without tail lights, speeding and the
use of spotlights.
Cutouts must not be used within
the city limits. Cars must not be park
ed without tail lights showing. Spot
lights must not be used south of
Wright street, neither may they be
used north of Wright street within
rs feet of another car. The ordinance
against speeding is plain and explicit.

said, to arrest all offenders.

MUSIC FESTIVAL
FOR ASHEVILLE
Anna Case, Noted Singer, Will Be
Supported by Many Other
Stars.

ASHEVILLE, n. c., July llama

will head the list of notable artists to
appear here during the Asheville music
festival, August 8 to Is, the success

Asheville business men.
In addition to Anna Case there will
be ten other celebrated singers on the

phia Festival Orchestra, Thaddeus
Rich, Director, will be here for the
nine concerts.
This will undoubtedly be the great
est summer music festival held in this
country. From a financial viewpoint
it will be the costIiest. From an ar
tistic viewpoint 1t will be one of the
most important ever held in the United
States. 1t is already known that it
will bring to Asheville people from
every southern state and as to at
tendance the success of the festival is
already assured.
The $40, 900 guarantee fund was sub
scribed by public spirited citizens of
Asheville. They earnestly believe
there are in the South sufficient low
ers of the finest music to make the
weeks festival the entire success it's
artistic merits entit1e it to be. Anna
Case, but one of the artists engaged,
ranks with the most noted singers of
this or any other country, while those
directing the festival are being con-
graduated upon their securing the re-
nowned Philadelphia Festival Orches-
ira for this really nationally important
week of music.
