Police Instructed to Arrest Ail
Motorists Who Violate City's
i
Muffler Ordinance.
Declaring that tha auto muffler cut
out ordlnanra la on« of tha moat
wantonly and flagrantly violated
of the city statute* Police Chief
Beavers Wednesday said he Intended
to use every means at his command
to enforce It
The Chief has Issued a special or
der to the entire police force Instruct
ing a rigid enforcement of the muffler
law. Caaes are to ba made against
•very offender, no matter who he
mar be The Chief is determined to
bring relief from the nuisance, and
said he is satisfied a few cases and
Ktff fines in Police Court will bring
wonderful improvement
In discussing the nuisance, the
Chief look occasion to command 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 be enforced as
long ns It remains on the statute
hooks." said the Chief. "In my npln- |
Ion it Is a good law, for the noise
made by the cutting out of mufflers,
particularly at night, !» an ahomina- j
tlor and for the reason that It In
absolutely unnecessary to the run- >
nine Of a car The cutting out of the 1
muffler has no perceptible effect on
the car—but it does have a percepti- j
ble effect on people who are trying to
get a good night'* sleep.
"The noise from the care la not so
bad In the day time, as the rumble
of other vehicles and trolley cars
serves to drown II out to a materjal
extent. But at night, after the city
has quieted down, tha muffler cut-out
Is certainly n nerve-racking nuisance
It Is worse In the summer, because of
the great number of autos in th"
streets and the faet that people sleep
with their windows open, thus receiv
ing the full benefit of the dlwtractlng
din as the speeding cars whiz past."
Considerable complaint of late has
been made by citizens of different
[.arts of the city, and these* will re

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 rumor# that there would be a
change in the management of the
Georgia Rajlroafl. It has been esti
mated that the strike cost the road
near $500,000. but whether or not that
has been charged against Mr. Scott
by the Louisville and Nashville offi
cials has never been ascertained.
While the strike was in pi ogress
Messrs. Gregg and Murdock, repre
senting the conductor# 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, hut thai 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 asnert positively that it is
purely because of his 111 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. N .
CHICAGO, Aug. 27.—Declaring that
American humor is on the wane and
the reason is that nearly all of the
men who try to make the nation laugh
smoke cigarettes. Miss Lucy Page
Gaston, superintendent of the Anti-
Cigarette Leagus, and known over
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, 111.
Miss Gaston said that in order to
fcave 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.

In Suicide Attempt
Following the alleged loss of $500 in
a business deal, James W. Hutchins,

tier He wan convicted of manslaughter

x A drive in the Studebaker “SIX” will
charm and convince you.
If there has ever been confusion in your
mind concerning the qualities of a worthy
Six, your questions will be fully answered
after you have driven this “SIX”.
And even if you are aware what some good
sixes can do, you will enjoy a greater glow of satis
faction when you drive this car.
As you sit behind the alluringly smooth and
responsive motor, no one will need to tell you why
you like it. You will know perfectly well.
The instant and full answer to your call for
increased speed or power, the sure and perfect
response to your control, the quietness, the absence
of vibration, the sheer thorough-bred ability of this
“SIX” to do all its work without strain or percep
tible effort—these things will prove a never-ending
delight.
It is as hard adequately to describe this “SIX”
as it is always difficult to describe any new and
more perfect instrument.
BUT—the Studebaker “SIX" will win you, as
sure as ever you sit behind the wheel.
Buy It Because It f s a Studebaker
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.
The auxiliary seats, making ample room for
six-passengers, are exteedingly 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 & car of complete
comfort and strikingly handsomeappearance.
