Polite Motor Horns in Paris
Paris wants polite motor horns, ami has set about getting them. The authorities intend to make an effort to replace raucous honkers and sh rickets with an instrument which will emit “low. dignified sounds,” that hoped may approximate an oi>«.n basso’s dulcet, tones —but never his uipr nity. Any and every effort to control and subdue a contraption that emits hairraising blasts, guaranteed to make an otherwise dignified, respectable and orderly pedestrian outleap an Australian kangaroo deserves gratitude, says a recent writer. As the Japanese say, an automobile horn should “tootle.” A hot poker pressed on each side of the rivet of scissors is sometimes all that is required to tighten the blades.
