Girl, Outwitting Law
In Traffic Court
BY the Associated Press.


EVANSTON, Ill, May 13.-
Miss Louise Gillarde, 18-year-old
high school girl, knows her law.
She gave a practical demonstra-
ton of her knowledge yesterday
when arraigned before magis-
trate, charged with having had
an exhaust whistle on her motor
car.
They" she told the magis-
trate, referring to police who had
arrested her, had no authority
to book me. For there is no
mention of exhaust whistle in
the statute-it refers only to
gongs and sirens"
The magistrate agreed and re-
leased her.
But" continued Miss Gillarde,
loudly enough for the arresting
officers TO hear, you could have
charged me with violating a
State law which does mention
exhaust whistles. Too late, now,
I've removed mine; toodle-oo."
