A Noise in the Night
"SHELL-SHOOK."
(To the Editor.) Sir^ — I should like to bfing before readers ' notice the indiscrimin&te, un* gentlemanly and in most cases Un* necessary blowing of a syffen at all hours of the night On our roads. Only recently I had a horse take fright and was hung up in the fence, and I fear 4t will ultimately have to be destroyed. Last night ugain at 10.30 the svretched thing was blown, twice if you please, everyone in the house being awakened. What the inspector Wants to realise is that many returned soldiers and in fact all the earthquake-shttken people eanUot put up with th'is infernai tow Jate at night. Anyway the thing is too crude and annecCssary, Common-sense used in its stead would have a far better effect. Almost any car can be stopped by the simple old-fashioned way of the purauer drawing alongside and blowing his horn. — Yours, etc.,
Hastings, May 1.
