SATURDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 24. 1925 Standard Set of Signals for Entire Country ■ CODE PLANNED FOR NATIONAL ROAD SIGNALS Signals for Highways of Country Are Selected After Three Years’ Study By ISRAEL KLEIN Three years of intensive research and study have finally yielded a standard code of signals and signal lights, to be recommended for gen eral use throughoutu the country. This code is now in the hands of the American Engineering Stand ards Committee, which is to sponsor the movement for its nation-wide adoption. Fifty national organizations are represented on this committee and three sponsors of national repute are backing the recommendations. These are the U. S. Bureau of Stand ards, the National Safety Council and the American Essociation of State Highway Officials. Those interested in this study in cluded groups representing automo bile manufacturers and owners, au tomobile accessory makers, railroads and the interstate Commerce Com mission, insurance companies, scien tific and technical societies and oth er organizations having an adminis trative interest in this work. The scope of the study covered the use of colored lights on high ways, streets and at various cross ings; their use for signals or rail roads; co-ordination of color form, position and number of signals; col ors fr non-luminous as distinguished from luminous as disetaoietaoinetet from luminous signals and many other forms of signaling. One committee in this research work made a complete study of sig nals and traffic control in cities of more than 100,000 population. Another visibility of colored lights now in use, going even so far as to consider their visibility against cer tain backgrounds and in various con ditions of atmosphere, dust, fog or rain. A third committee studied the non-luminous signs and signals and suggested appropriate colors, forms and symbols for various uses. Out of this thorough research comes the new code for standard signals. Standard signs for various types of crossings have been devised with standard colors for each. Colors for headlights and tail lights, as well as other forms of signal ’’ hts have been established and are recom mended for genera adoption. One of the most significant find ings is that yellow is the proper col or for tail lights, indicating caution rather than stop, the signal supposed to be indicated by red. Red, however, is recommended because of the color’s general adopt ion. If. a change is made, the com mittee suggests, it should be from red to yellow. In addition to a uniform code, Based on tnese recommendations, trie committee sees the importance of a campaign to educate the public into the propert knowledge and use of the standard signals.

According to the testimony of the earlier residents of Lumpkin coun ty, it was found near here prior to 1828 when th e metal was first seen on Duke’s Creek in White county. The discovery of the precious metal brought an inrush of settlers, many of them adventurers seeking their fortunes, while others were substan tial miners, anxious to develop the rich treasures hidden in the hills. Among those falling into the lat ter group was Reese Crisson, one of the best known metallurgists of his day, who came to Dahlonega in the •year gold was found. Another was Joseph Edwards, a man who became a leading citizen of the community in latter years. The Indians were undoubtedly aware of the existence of gold de posits in the Cherokee county, but were probably ignorant of its value. They knew it by the name “Talone ka” meaning “Yellow metal.” From this designation, Dahlonega takes its similar-sounding name. The United States mint was estab lished in Dahlonega in 1836, and skilled workmen were brought from Philadelphia to place the mint in op eration. Until recent years many of the gold dollars in circulation throughout the United States bore the mark of this mint.

FEED POULTRY WINTERGREEN Hens Without Green Feed Will Lay Only Half As Many Eggs, It Is Said CLEMSON COLLEGE, Oct. 24. Hens without green feed will lay only one half the eggs they should lay during the winter month’s ac cording to D. H. Hall, Extension Poultry Husbandman, who says that the winter supply of green feed is an important problem that every poultry keeper should consider. Green feed is important both from an egg production standpoint and from a health and vitality standing. Hens are not particular about the kind of green feed given them. Any kind of green feed is good provided it is tender and succulent. For win ter green feed Mr. Hall recommends lettuce, cabbage, collards rape, rye and oats. The rape, rye and oats are especially good because they can be grown in the field and the hens themselves allowed access to the greens. The green feed should be plant ed right away. Eggs will re high this fall and winter, and the poultry' keeper who sells winter eggs from his flock will have a profit at the end of the year. Help the hens pay this profit by giving them plenty of green feed during the winter. Women wear smart clothes. Fall hats are smart. Takes a smart man to make enough money to buy one.
