EDITOR URGES MUSICAL TONE
TO REPLACE NOISY AUTO HORN
Traffic Director Eldridge Receives Novel
Suggestion for Sweet Harmony in
Capitals Streets.

note which the shiftlass motorist al
lows to appear in the musical equip
ment Of his car.
DIR. Scharf writes:
Washington is beautiful, an ideal
city. but, like all cities, it is afflicted
with noises that might be eliminated.
One of the these is the honk of the
automobile horn. Why auto manufac-
turers should have fallen upon that
particular mode Of giving warning
is hard to imagine. This constant
honk heard all the hours of the day
and night is an affliction to all and q
torture to people with a sensitive,
nervous organization. OF course,
something must be available to warn
of the approach of a car, but that
something need not necessarily be a
horn with a hideous, barbarous noise
like the auto horn.
Proposes System of Bells.
II have here suggestion to make
which would, in my humble opinion,
tend to relieve us of these distressing
intonations and give us pleasure in
stead. l propose that all horns be

done away with and bells introduced.
1 do not mean bells of the street car
variety, but sweet. gentle chimes with
sufficient emphasis of tone to an!
nounce the approach Of a car. Now.
these bells might be of three differ
ent tones of the scale, say G., then c
above it. and f above the c. II
one-third of the cars be equipped with
one of the three tones and the other
two-thirds with the G and Z there
would be created a beautiful harmony
with a chimelike effect and give the
visitor to our fair city the impression
that he had arrived in fairyland.
THE cars that have the r bell
might be furnished with an extra bell
in F. fiat, which would give the minor
effect and create sad, mournful
chord that could be used on special
occasions. as. for instance, when a
noted citizen is being buried, or when
Congress discusses District affairs. or
when Wayne B. Wheeler loses another
vote in Congress.
However. this last tone may be tenn
porarily omitted and a test made with
the first three bells. 1 am certain that
it would create a wonderful transfer
nation in the noises Of our city.
From the time the rosy blush Of morn
begins to mantle in the east, and the
rising sun, emerging from amidst
golden and purple clouds, sheds his
blitheSOme rays on our charming
city. to the time when the last roys-
terer turns in for the night and the
bootlegger goes to his lair with an
empty grip and a bloated purse, we
shall be enjoying the beautiful har-
monies waited to us by the natural
radio of musical tone vibrations. Let
us try it,
