In New York
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, Oct. 29-The man with the rislsiest job in New York just now is not 6 steeplejack, test pilot, e steelworker or harbor diver, but Frank Libuse, employed ct Q big Broadway cabaret.
 Libuse is Q gag headwaiter, . phoney maitre dhotel who torments the customers. He shows them to their tables with vast disrespect, filings napkins across their faces, joins the party's conversation, and lets the soup cpill as 1t may. He hasn't been socked yet, put he isn't fool enough to expect that 1t never will happen.
 But he moves fast. He heckles the guests only long enough to arouse their ire and then their sus- piclons. And then he exposes him. self by slipping down the steps from the mezzanine floor with @ trayful of unshatterable dishes. Tn appear ance, he is the embodiment of the headwaiter. with the coy angling of of the head, the fiatfoot walk and the busybody manner. He doesn't exempt any victim. No mat ter how important the new arrivals are, he gives them the works.
 He Is to the cafe world what Luke Barnett long was to the pri- vate party. The comic Luke used to be in great demand as e coun- terfeit butler at house functions where he put the guests through all but the meat grinder in the kitchen. He was (and still is) the most reckless soup-spiller in the business and his act was even more hazardous than Libuse's, be- cause he had less room in which to duck and feint when uppercuts and left hooks were aimed direct- ly at his chin. He gov away with 1t for the most part, however.
 Libuse has plenty of room to dodge around in and plenty of people to take into his confidence, because the rest of the house is wise to him when he is preying upon a new victim. Anyone en- tering that cafe automatically be- comes part of the show and the butt of the joke. It's to his credit, though, that Libuse hasn't got hurt. Swing Savant
 The Manhattan swingsters are playing hosts to e distinguished swingster from Paris named Hugues PanasSie.
 As a matter of fact, Panassie is regarded as the ideologist of the swing world and its most learned scholar. He is the author of the book entitled ''Le Jazz Hot" which Is held sacred as the bible among the jitterbugs and the biographer of It's leading practitioners.
 He came to New York for e thor ough prowl of the Fifty-second street swing dens and for research and he has been feted almost night ly by the offbeat addicts. They give parties for him in swing fans resi- dences and prominent musicians come to pay their respects. The other night. Paul Whiteman, Flats" Waller and Benny Carter dropped in to meet him and they stayed un- til dawn. playing their stuff. While here. incidentally. Panassie is going to collect enough data on Louis "satchelmouth" Armstrong to write . book about him.

Last January when the citizens of
Beaumont were reminded that they
had killed % persons with their cars
in 1896, they decided to stop. Repre-
sentatives from every civic, patriotic,
fraternal and religious organization in
the city joined in Safety League
This league told Chief of Police L.
B. Maddox that citizens wanted the
law enforced and that they would
cease trying to get out of paying stop
sign and speeding violation fines.
Fines Take \ Jump.
They paid. In 1896. $2,661 was
paid on LAS stop sign fines. In
1897. $7,0l8 was paid on 2.410 fines.
In 1896. Isl speeders paid $627, while
in 1897. 958 paid $5,288 in speed
ing fines.
The Safety League, working with
the police department. marked the
site of each 1886 traffic death with
q large yellow cross that had its
psychological effect in slowing down
potential speeders.
The Safety League maintained a
daily chart. prominently displayed on
the city hall lawn on the main street,
tabulating the number of accidents
to date, the number injured and the
number killed.
Drive to Continue.
An engineering committee Of the
league took hand in the campaign
by eliminating bad corners and by
the use of signal lights at strategic
Intersections
But the Safety League is not salts
fed. Six people were killed by auto
mobiles in 1897. The league has ar
ranged to continue its program of
rigid law enforcement and expand
Its activities to include an educational
campaign for pedestrians in 1898.
The league does feel it has made
progress. In 1896, Beaumont ranked
among the five most dangerous cities
In the Nation from the standpoint Of
trafdc accident possibilities. Now it
has q fine record and will make every
effort to improve.

BILE. The trunks, where there are
trunks, and the luggage space in
the others are larger, offering
more usable space.
Undoubtedly the large number
of feminine owners and proSpec-
tive purchasers are responsible
for making the manufacturer
style conscious this year. There
is growing feeling among the
manufacturers that change in
the style of their cars, like
changes in styles of clothing, is
beneficial, especially among the
fair sex. This has been a de-
cided factor in leading to the lux
uriouS appointments Of the 1889
cars.
washington dealers share in
the optimism Of the manufac-
turers. After seeing the new
models and putting them through
the regular tests, the dealers are
convinced that they have to offer
the finest line Of automobiles ever
produced for American conSump-
tion, which means the finest line
ever produced in the world. Best
OF all, they are offered at prices
that make them the greatest
value per dollar in years.
With these two factors in their
favor, members Of the Washing
ton Automotive Trade Association
are looking forward to an excel
lent year.
