People pay little or no attention to it at any time, Under ordinary traffic conditions in a city like Seattle it ts often impossible for the pedestrian to hear it, Theoretically a pedestrian never should step from the side walk into the roadway without looking about him carefully, Practically, he does. He moves mechanically, His mind on other things—frequently he is oblivious to his surroundings. But he must be protected. The motorist must prepare to meet conditions that exist, and not conditions as they ought to be. The careful motorist sounds his signal only as an emer- gency warning. He seldom sounds it because the emer- gencies are few and not of his making. The emergencies he usually meets are caused by the careless- ness ofothers, He cannot prevent that carelessness. But he can take every precaution to prevent injury. Under such @iroumstances the use of an adequate warning signal is vital, “*The Public Safety Signal.’ Its peculiar note penetrates the noise of sur- rounding traffic no matter how loud. It invariably expresses —and is distinctively understood as meaning — DANGER. The Klaxon is the pedestrian’s protection, How to Give Proper Warning The majority of Seattle motorists know warning signal and sound one properly, how to use a There is an clement, however, that looks upon it a plaything—something with which to attract attention. This clement makes a signal law necessary. The Seattle law says not more than two short blasts shall be sounded. This means that the police have the right to arrest the driver of a motor car who sounds the long blast of his signal or who blows his signal continuously. as In city driving the long blast is never necessary. What is popularly known as the Klaxon ‘‘Tiger’’—a short, blast produced by lightly touching the Klaxon push button —is usually ample to meet all conditions that may arise, shap Motorists may obtain the Klaxon from the Chanslor & Lyon Motor Supply Company, 916 East Pike Street, Ballon & Wright, 817 East Pike Street, Seattle, distributing jobbers, or from any dealer in automobile accessories, LOVELL-McCONNELL MFG.
