WOULD 1'KOHIIIIT THKIIt
USE UN N El 'ESSA RILY
In an article In the Scientific Sup
plement, Frederic Remson iiutton,
M. E., Sc. D., Vice President of tho
American Museum of Safety of Nov
York, discusses the so-called auto
mobile warning signal problem and
its proper regulutlon by law.
Dr. Hutton who Is also vice pres
ident of the American Soclcty ol
Mcclilcanical Engineers and Consult
ing Kngineer and Chairman of the
Technical Committee of the Auto
mobile Club of America, has made
an extensive 3tudy of this problem
and deals with It from the stand
point of wide experience.
He urges the adoption of a stand
ard quality of warning signal aud
the prohibition of Its unnecessary
use.
"Tho warning signal", says Dr.
Hutton, "should be of the quality
not attaching to any other street
noise and It should be audible from
such a distance that the person
warned should not Jump with a ner
vous movement to avoid something
that seems as his side before he
knew it was anywhere noar him.
"To sound the signal unnecessar
ily not only makes the street more
noisy than necessary, but also breed'!
the habit of disregarding tho sigur.l
when it is full of meaning. A nolav
street Is more dangerous whon the
danger signals cannot be heard; the
quieter the street the more easily
Is tho attention caught.
"While it Is safe to say that a
standardization along the abov?
lines will reduce tho number of col
lisions on the streets, thero still re
mains the irreJuceable minimum
whose origins are carelessness and
absenco of mind."

AVOTHKR LOOK AT COAL
Washington, July 1 ? Dr. Holmes
dlretor of the Bureau of Mines, left
