These ~re based upon the same prmctples whtch are in use in many secti?ns of the United States and are readtly understood by visitors. All these ·signs, with two exceptions are symbolic, representing the curve' t~e sharp angle or the road intersec~ tton that has to be pointed out to a'-!tomobilists. Symbolic danger signs wtll shortly be uniform throughout Canada, it is reported. They will thus prove invaluable to automobilists, who will be able to travel from one province to another ~ith.out fear o! the many drawbacks mevttably resultmg from a lack of uniformity in signals. Symbolic signs a.re pref~rable to worded signs, it is beheved, dtrectly representing as they do the danger to be avoided or the direction to be followed. All automobilists whatever their language or their de~ gree of instruction, will readily understand them. The roads department of Quebec has had these new signs placed on its most important highways. About 3,000 more will be installed until the close of the season. Next year symbolic signs will have completely replaced all corresponding worded signs on main highways and on local roads directly maintained by the department. I Sedan Longevity Increased by Balloon Tires BALLOON tires enlist low·preHUre air to cushion the passengers from bumps and road shocks. They also cushion vital power units against the same adverse conditions. The shock-free cradling of power unit.; in a double frame haa always been a Reo feature, and a vital reason for Reo chassis longevity. Balloon tires gready promote it. Mechanical goodneu is further emphasized by the famous Reo high-powered six-cylin· der engine. Intake valves in head and ex· haust valves at side,-short crankshaft, turning in four large bearings and balanced dynamically · and statically,-ground, gla~~o amooth cylinders with aluminum alloy pistons,-improved c:arburetion,-theae are typical of many features that make Reo motordom's moat endUrina "six."

L···- Better Brakes Would Aid in Speedhtg Up Traffic Much more traffic could travel the streets of the average city if speed could be increased safely, says the Firestone News Service. Traffic could be handled quicker and better, but this cannot be sanctioned until there is assurance that cars can, or will, stop more promptly and surely tha.n at present. It really all comes back to the Golden Rule. If a driver would be as careful of the pedestrian's rights as he is of his own, and vice versa, accidents would be almost unknown. REO EVANSTON CO.
