WASHINGTON. 
The Gridiron club celebrated its 
silver dinner in honor of its 25th 
anniversary, at the New Willard, 
Saturday evening. This famous 
elub and its distinguished members 
came in for the usual grilling and 
there was fun galore from masquer- 
ading and from the skits on not- 
able personages and events. Presi- 
dent Taft was present to take his 
medicine as were cabinet officers, 
ambassadors and jurists. The sou- 
venir was a silver ash tray crossed 
by the mystic gridiron. 
Among the patronesses of the

velt.

If you hear the winding horn of 
the tally-ho echoing in the streets 
it is only a new toot for the avco- 
mobile. The multi-tone horn which 
we will describe is unlike any other 
of the multi-tone variety in that it 
is sounded by means of a rubber 
bulb. It is light in weight, not 
bulky, and can be placed anywhere 
that the ordinary type of single-note 
horn can. In producing the notes, 
pressure on the bulb forces air in 
two directions. The first is along 
a passage containing a revolving 
air distributer that branches in four 
directions to the four horns. The 
second passage contains a small pis- 
ton carrying a ratchet tooth which 
is shot forward and engages with a 
ratchet wheel, revolving it one tooth 
only. The ratchet wheel is attached 
to the air distributer, which, revolv- 
ing, opens in turn the orifices to the 
four horns. Air can be shut off 
from all the reeds, so that the horn 
can not be sounded by boys while 
the auto is standing,

The John C. Bullitt mansion, near 
Paoli, is said to be the finest type of 
cobble stone dwelling in Pennsy] 
vania—stables, billiard eabin an: 
all adjoining buildings being built 
of the stones. This material has be- 
come a great fad in Eastern Penr- 
sylvania and proves that there is 
nothing common or useless in the 
eyes of the optimistic man. Thee 
is surely cobble stones enough on 
the beaches and lands of the North 
Shore for some one to corner and 
start an industry that is making 
such a picturesque evolution in the 
building world. Wood and cobble 
stones are being much used in com- 
bination.
