Sets His Own Signal.

The criticism to the automatic traffic
signals which are in general use is that
the traffic on a much frequented street
is held up for a certain time at regular
intervals when there may be no cars
moving on the cross street. A signal
operated by the sound of the automo-
bile horn has been experimental with
in Baltimore. The signal is set to ac-
commodate the travel on the main
thoroughfare and the driver on the
cross street has but to blow his horn
in the direction of device conveniently
located and the vibrations act to
change the signal so that he can cross.
After his passage. the signal automati-
cally returns to its original position.
The only objection to this arrangement
is on the part of the residents in The
vicinity who are compelled to listen to
the incessant footing.

A Roadside Barbecue.

The "hot dog" stands along the
American highways have a count crpart
in the ancient wayside restaurants of
Persia and some of the other countries
of the ORIENT. 1t is no common thing
to see vender of food along the streets
of the cities and on the more travelled
highways. In Tabriz, for instance, there
are many such. The chef has a metal
pan about the size and shape of a dress

coal fire, which he keeps alive by the

fire are small pieces of lamb or mutton
impaled upon skewers which are dealt

Not one occasion in the past

equally difficult to recall when a
better picture was given to the
world.
t'Show Boat" comes so close to

that 1t may be. after all. 1t is u
vivid panorama of American life
along the Mississippi, and through
the streets of Chicago and New
York, covering three generations
in its ample sweep.
And Old Man River, impressed
not a whit by births marriages
and deaths, just keeps rolling
along-maj jestic, mysterious, muir.
murig the secrets of the ages. !.
The story follows the life of
Magnolia, a show boat baby,
through her childhood, maiden
hood and motherhood, through
her romance and marriage with
Gaylord Ravenal, the gentleman
gambler, through poverty to
riches and fame-and finally back
to the old" show boat on the Mis-
sissipi.
The story is wrought against
a rich pattern of genuine An1eri-
can music. "Old Man River"
must rank as an atmospheric
song of the first quality, and il
Lonesome Road" is not a ballade
of classic tradition then all the
books must be wrong. There are
the joyful "Show Boat" numbers
and the grooming. mournful songs
of the colored rivermen.
The drama flows IN real river

times rapid and roaring and
