With pride to the achievements and w

Mr. Vaughsn at once assumed the an

NEW FAD IN CITY
In addition to the blowing of
whistles each morning about-- five
o'clock for about twenty minutes
without Intermission, a later fad
now is for automobiles to loiter on
the corners between midnight and
day and scream and groan to such
pa extent they can be heard at least
a halt mile. While of course, It
makes no difference to (he chauffer
and the riders but It counts mightily
to the fellow who has to toll for
ills daily bread next day and wishes
to -catch a little sleep:

The work" of laying a larger gas
