Police Instructed to Arrest All
Motorists Who Violate City's
Muffler Ordinance.
Declaring that the auto muffler cut
out ordinance is one of the most
wantonly and flagrantly violated
of the city statutes. Police Chief
Beavers Wednesday said he intended
to use every means at his command
to enforce It.
The Chief has Issued a special or-
d*r to the entire police force Instruct
ing a rigid enforcement of the muffler
law. Caaes are to he made against
•very offender, no matter who he
may be. The Chief is determined to
bring relief from the nuisance, and
■aid he is satisfied a few cases and
■tifr fines in Police Court will bring
wonderful Improvement.
In dincusslng the nuisance, the
Chief took occasion to commend the
editorial in The Georgian a few
days ago relative to the necessity for
a strict enforcement of this law for
the protection of citizens.
"This muffler cut-out ordinance Is
a law. and it must he enforced as
long as it remains on the statute
books.” said the Chief. “In my opin
ion it is a good law. for the noise
made by the cutting out of mufflers,
particularly at night. Is an abomina
tion. and for the reason that it is
absolutely unnecessary to the run
ning of a car. The cutting out of the
muffler has no perceptible effect on
the car—but It does have a percepti
ble effect on people who are trying to
get a good night's sleep.
“The noise from the cars Is not so
bad In the day time, as the rumble
of other vehicles and trolley cars
■erves to drown it out to a materia! j
extent. But at night, after the city
has Quieted down, the muffler cut-out
la certainly a nerve-racking nuisance
It Is worse in the summer, because of
the great number of autos in th”
■treets and the fact that people sleep
with their windows open, thus receiv
ing the full benefit of the distracting
din as the speeding cars whiz past."
Considerable complaint of late has
been made by citizens of different
parts of the city, and these will re
ceive with Joy the news of the war
fare etarted by Chief Beavers.

Augusta Hears That Georgia Gen
eral Manager’s Retirement
Will Be Permanent.
AUGUSTA, Aug. 27.—Whether the
“temporary retirement” of General
Manager T. K. Scott, of the Georgia
Railroad, means that he will resume
charge when he gets well, or whether
It means that Mr. Scott is being per
manently forced out of the position, is
a matter of speculation in Augusta.
Ever since the strike of the trainmen
and conductors on the Georgia Rail
road last fall there have been per
sistent rumors that there would be a
change in the management of the
fJeorgia Railroad. It has been esti
mated that the strike cost the road
near $500,000. but whether or not that
lias been charged against Mr. Scott
by the Louisville and Nashville offi
cials has never been ascertained.
While the strike was In progress
Messrs. Gregg and Murdock, repre
senting the conductors and trainmen,
respectively, Issued a statement In
which they said that they did their
utmost to get a conference with Mr.
Scott in his Atlanta hotel just prior
to the strike to negotiate with him
and try to avert the tie-up of the
Georgia trains, but that he persist
ently refused to see them.
Mr. Scott has been general manager
of the Georgia for about twenty years.
He Is now nearing 70 years. His
friends assert positively that it is
purely because of his ill health, due
principally to the infirmities of age,
that he has relinquished the manage
ment temporarily to J. H. Ellis, sec
retary of the L. & N.

the entire country for her tireless ef
forts against cigarettes, wrote a
warning to the American Press Hu
morists' Association, now in session
at Peoria, Ill.
Miss Gaston said that in order to
save American humor she would ad
minister free of charge her mouth
wash cigarette cure to any of the
newspaper funny men who would ac
cept.
Following the alleged loss of $500 in

the combined efforts of Hutchins' wife
and sister and Call Officers Milam and
Palmer

Studebaker “Six” Engineering
The design of a fine six-cylinder car,
especially in the motor, calls for exceptional
skill and wide experience.
Efficiency at all speeds and the absence of
vibration, which are the unique advantages
of a worthy Six, can only be attained by the
most scientific engineering.
To attain perfect results we use experi
mental laboratories of large size and full
equipment, where every idea built into the
Studebaker “SIX” has been proved correct
beyond the possibility of error.
We work by knowledge, not by theory.
Every ton of steel we buy is first made
according to Studebaker formulas and
later rigorously tested to be sure it is up to
standard.
Throughout the manufacture, which is
carried on entirely in our plants, from forty
huge power hammers which forge out over
250 parts for every Studebaker “SIX”, to
the last operation, accurate to the one-
thousandth of an inch, the “SIX” is built
with a scrupulous regard for fine work and
the best materials.
Studebaker Standards of Luxury
From the beautifully balanced chassis to
the deep upholstery and complete equip
ment, the “SIX” shows careful attention
to appearance and comfort.
It is, of course, electrically lighted and
started. 1
The auxiliary seats, making ample room for
6ix-passengers, are exceedingly comfortable
and yet may readily be folded to one side.
The painting is lustrous, requiring twenty-
four operations, including many days of
drying and aging, before it is finished.
We use Studebaker-Jiffy storm curtains,
the most ingenious improvement ever made
in automobile curtains.
The Studebaker “SIX” is a car of complete
comfort and strikingly handsome appearance.
