MANY ACCIDENTS
CAUSED BY HORN
Illogical Method of "Honking' Is
Serious Menace to Safety
of Traffic.

That the automobile horn Is equally
important as brakes in the prevention
Of motor accidents Is fact which ap-
parently very few drivers recognize,
according to a bulletin on this subject
Issued >by the educational bureau Of
the National Motorists association.
There are many situations, IN fact,
points out the National Motorists as
ISOLATION. where the horn alone must
be relied upon but without good judg-
ment in using 1t the driver cannot
hope for favorable results. The bulle-
tin says further:
Disregard for Horn.
Horning, as it is practiced at pres
ent, reveals animal instinct The mo-
torist uses 1t as a signal of approach
Ing doom, just as though he and his
car were entitled to special privileges.
Accident reports, as analyzed by the
National Motorists association, show
that such attitude on the part of the
driver encourages an attitude of re-
taliation and disinclination to make
concessions on the part of other mo-
torists and pedestrians, with the re-
suit that they take their time about
getting out of the way. This may be
the makings of an accident If the
driver also happens to be depending
upon his horn for safety.
Impatient sounding Of the horn often
has the same effect, and If the driver
sounds his horn too loudly he may dis
Syir iyy,
to the extent that he will change his
course Of direction, hesitate and other
wise endanger himself. There are oc-
easions when 1t Is better not to use
the horn at all.
For most purposes a moderately
long blast Of the horn, sounded from
1 suitable distance, is to be preferred.
A short blast from the horn displays
hther impatience or inexperience, to
sither Of which pedestrians or other
motorists will! foolishly pay less atten-
hon.
Suspicion Of Loud Blast.
If the horn Is sounded too loudly,
and too soon, the driver will be under
the same suspicion.
As discovered by National Motor.
lists association men investigating the
subject, the average driver does not
appreciate how often he is dependent
upon 100 per cent results from his
horning. There are many tight situa-
tions where failure Of the pedestrians
to act upon the warning of the horn,
Or too violent and Illogical response,
will put the driver in a position where
he Is helpless to avoid an accident, re-
Rardless of the use Of his brakes and
clever steering.
II any motorist cares to discover
Just how dependent he Is upon effec-
tive use of his horn try the experiment
Of driving through traffic some day
without resorting to the horn. He will
end that he is obliged to fall back
rather heavily upon his brakes and
steering.

Burn Youth as Sacrifice;
Six Sentenced to Death

Salisbury, Southern Rhodesih.-iu-
man sacrifice still is practiced IN some
norts Of the old world, 1t was shown
when six members of local tribe were
sentenced to death for burning ali'e
voung man named Manduza In order 'o
annease the rain goddess.
Rhodesia had been suffering from II
severe drought, and some of the native
tribes ascribed 1t to the wrath OF the
goddess, who. they believed, hhd peeh
violated. Inquiries led the tribal chiet
70 believe that his son was guilty Oh
having assaulted the goddess, ana ne
thereupon ordered his incinerh'ion.
The rain goddess. a young and hano-
some girl, did not testify against MIN
Defense counsel commented on the
high motives which led the chief 10
sacrifice his son for rain, and referred
to parallel cases In Hebraic ana
Semitic history.
Rain fell soon after Manduza was
burned alive.

Discovery lust Made Cuts Down
Danger From Fumes OF
Carbon Monoxide.

Pittsburgh.-Carbon monoxlde gas
poisoning, the nemesis of workers IN
mines, mills, garages. tunnels and va
rious industries, as well as the occu'
pant of the home, is the subject of an
important discovery just made by eX-
perts of the Pittsburgh station OF the
United States bureau of mines.
The discovery affords quick and
sure method of determining the pres
ence Of carbon monoxide poison In the
blood, and, according to the experts,
will not only prove boon to sufferers
from the dreaded gas, but will be use
full in legal way. in that 1t will prove
conclusively the cause of such deaths.
DR.. X Il. Sayers and w. b. fant,
chemist Of the bureau, made the dis
covery. and, after months of research
work and actual tests upon human be-
lngs, they have reported that their
simple system could be operated by
anyone.
Right Treatment Assured.
They say that within fifteen min
utes after the test Is made the amount
Of carbon monoxlde poison in the
blood of the subject could be deter
mined, thus insuring the right and
prompt treatment for the patient.
Heretofore, doctors treatiny carbon
monoxide cases have had to wait from
twenty-four to forty eight hours for n
blood test before they could begin
proper treatment.
The Sayers-Yant discovery came as
the result of work in the Hudson river
tubes In New York. While the bureau
Of mines experts were engaged In the
problem of ascertainlng n proper ven
tilating system for the tubes under
the river so as to render automobile
gases harmless to those passing
through, they struck upon the new
method of determining the presence
Of carbon monoxide In the blood.
Big Aid in Rescue Work.
Discussing the value of the dIscov-
cry to mines and mills, Mr.. Yant
pointed out that heretofore rescue
workers have been hampered in treat
Ing stricken men because they did not
know whether the patient suffered
from shock or carbon monOxide gas.
Likewise, this was true in garage and
tunnel accident cases. The patients
are always given oxygen, but 1t re-
quired an entire day or more to de
termlne If they had carbon monoxlde
poisoning.
With the discovery at hand, Mr.
Yant said, rescue workers In the in
dustries will know whether the victim
Of an accident has carbon monOxlde

exact amount of such poisoning, and

The Tourist Season.

If were seated on the bench,
a learned and fearless jurist, I'd
soak the greedy man or wench who
robs the gentle tourist. Now on
the hills and through the dells a
million cars are lodging, and tour
lists stop at punk hotels and ask
for grub and lodging. Oh, here and
there a Boniface gives value for
their money; he is man who loves
the race, who'd make our lives more
sunny. But there and here the land
lords dump bum victuals i'll the
manger, and argue that he is a
chump who does not fleece the
stranger. Some little burgs along
the way are organized for pillage,
and luckless is the touring jay who
lands in such a village. The mer-
chant princes pass the word, when
such a jays approaching: Here
comes another stranger bird-weH
give his mane a roaching" And
everything he has to buy is priced
so high he'll shiver, and wiring his
hands and long to die beneath his
rusty fivver All towns would find
it worth their while, emerging from
their blindness. to greet the tourist
with a smile, and load him down
with kindness. The stranger who's
within our gates should not be
cinched or beaten; let's feed him
costly figs and dates, and bless him
when he's eaten.
