Flags for Policemen.
There Would BE One Noise Less With
the Traffic Whistle Suppressed.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: May l
ask your cooperation In my ertort to
lessen some of the thousand and odd
unnecessary noises which are making
our otherwise fine metropolis sort of
noise bedla1n?
The uselessness OF the traffic police
mans piercing whistle IS obvious when
some other means to regulate the au-
tomoblles could be resorted to as we'll.
For instance, he can wave a flag, say
orange color: waved above his head
when he wants the automobilists to
stop their cars; downward. from side TO
side. when they are allowed to move
onward.
This is simple, visible to all and can
be understood by the automobilists
AT each street crossing where po-
liceman is on duty 1t grows to be irri-
tating, while waiting to cross. to be
forced to have that shrill whistle pene-
trate ones tympanum
Could not the city authorities pass a
ruling to change present conditions and
enforce an orange colored flag to be
used, thus doing away with at least
one unnecessary noise in our city,

dollar, willing hands and an alert

In spite of the fact that violin music
suffers in the vast spaces of this audi
torium. Mr. Zimbalist's rare art as a
virtuoso again gave much pleasure.
Nine Gluck likewise received much APP
plause for her singing, although 1t was
not of her best in certain numbers.
She was said to have had an attack OF
laryngitis In the last week. and to this
no doubt was In mart due her rather
poor vocal condition. Yet 1t was obvi-
