Organized charity that interests itself in the

LIVING GENEROSITY

Possibly because Of The publicity often attached to
them it has been popularity supposed that the more
important phlanthropes are those left in the form
of bequests This belief according the secretary OF
the Chicago Community Trust is not fair to the living
whose generosity, year in and year out far exceeds IN
totals the gifts made through wills.
The Chicago Community Trust is a permanent
fund of So 600 the proceeds of which to charity
millions came through bequess. All the rest was Civ
en- by living donors, in amounts varying from very
small contributions TO very large ones.
Even the fine philanthropies arranged for through
bequests might we'll be credited living donors since
they are planned while the giver is living
Bequests, large OF small are important and vau-
able. Philanthropists who contemplate making con-
tributions to the public welfare by that should
not be discouraged from their purpose. But while ap
precating their generosity it IS only fair at the
time appreciate the generosity of the great number
of persons who give regularly and consistently out of
current incomes.

AUXILIARY AUTO
HORNS APPEAL TO
MANY MOTORISTS

Auxiliary motor horns arc in high
favor, right now, among motorists
throughout the country.
The chief reason for this sudden
rise to popularity of the additional
warning signal is due to the SINH
Iarity in tone of all electric horns,
The voice of the standard horn is
not distinctive, consequently warn
ing signals with new ana different
tones are being sought
cpendability, too, is one OF the
requisites of a warming signal and
aS electric horns arc not always de
pcndablc aud sometimes fail to op-
crate at the time needed, most of
the auxiliary horns purchased are of
the non-clcctrical type. One of the
most popular horns of this style, ac-
cording to j. y. Hall, local manager
OF the Western Auto Supply COM
pauV, is the Acrmore exhaust horn.
IhiS signal utilizeS the waste power
from the exhaust and has 10 me
chahical or electrical attachments to
set out of order. 1t is attached to
the exhaust pipe and is controlled
from the dash.
Thc Acrmore is built ON the
pipe organ principle, with four notes
tuned to give Il rich harmonious
chord that is different from any
other automobile signal The clear,
musical notes have a bell like quail
Ity that forces through other sounds
and carries an amazing distance,
says Mr.. Hall.
Another distinctive feature of
this signal is the regulation of
sound volume. There are many
times when Il horn is needed to send
Il note of warning u long distance.
This Is especially needed when tray
cling IN the mountains as driving
safety calls for II warning signal
with long carrying range.
fhcre are numerous occasions
where a horn OF the opposite type
IS ncedcd-one that will give warn
lnG IN a soft, low tone. Pcdestri
ans crossing the street or children

ed without being startled, ar dis
"sjcg may result. Here. again, the
