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.
A SPLENDID FEELING
That tired, half-sick, discouraged feel
ing caused by a torpid liver and consti
pated bowels can be gotten rid of with
surprising promptness oy using Heroine.
You feel its beneficial effect with the first
dose as its purifying and regulating effect
is thorough and complete. It not only
drives out bile and impurities but it im
parts a splendid feeling of exhilaration,
strength, vim, and buoyancy of spirits.

FIRSTGOLD
FOUND IN 1828
According to Statements of Old
est Residents of Lumpkin
County It Was Found Prior
to 1828
DAHLONEGA, Ga., Oct. 24.JG01d,
that yellow metal which has been the
object of man since time immem
orial, was first found in Georgia
prior to the date usually given for
its discovery.
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. It was dis-

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.

Attention Farmers
Sowing Grain
The season js now favorable for the thor
ough preparation of land for grains. Plow and
harrow carefully, and then drill in the seed.
<j The recent drouth has caused a shortage of
feed in this section, and the farmers should
realize the importance of planting more grain
than usual. There is no better time to insure a
crop than to plant now.
<J May we offer this suggestion?—Fertilize
your oats when you plant them, use two bush
els of seed to the acre and drill in with them one
sack of well prepared 9-3-3 Guano.

and are prepared to supply first class goods in
