AUTO HORN JERICHO TRUMPET

Does Not Make Any Walls Fall But
Signals Smashing of Speed
Laws.

"This lady has a Jericho horn on
her auto."
Patrolman Helmuth made this accusation
to Recorder Gaskill against
Mrs. E. B. Frost of Philadelphia, passing
the summer at 110 South Dorset
avenue, Chelsea. Students of the Old
Testament will remember that when
Joshua and his hosts blew the then
auto siren the walls of Jericho fell.
Mrs. Frost denied indignantly that
she broke any walls, even that she
broke the antispeed law, although Helmuth
charged that 40 miles an hour
is a lame gait when Mrs. Frost drives.

"Five dollars fine," said Recorder
Gaskill gently. "A warning, this five.
Try to add to the city’s quietude by
muffling that Jericho horn, I beg of
you, madam."—New York World.
