The official marking system, which is designed to give Illinois the best marked highways in the world, will be completed in its enlarged form within the next thirty or forty days, it was announced by the division of highway at Springfield. The new system, which has been under consideration for se^ral months, was decided upon at a conference of Governor Small, Director of Public Works and Buildings C. R. Miller, State Superintendent of Highways Frank T. Sheets, State Highway Engineer Clifford Older and other engineers of the division of highways. It was decided that the new system with certain enlargements and alterations, which were settled upon at the conference with the governor, should be completely installed at-once and be completed within the next thirty or forty days. Another important decision reached was that beginning with the traffic season next spring detours would be completely marked and maintained by the state. All state bond issue routes neither completed nor under contract will have installed upon them temporary route markings, guiding the traveling public over the best rputes which will follow as closely as possible the final route of the pavement. These routes will be maintained/under authority of the state highway act. Standard traffic warning signs, consisting of boards of unifofm size, 24 in. by 42 in., will be erected at all points on the highway, at which the attention <>U the driver, either for guidance or safety, should be arrested. The signs will establish the three degrees of safety and convenience. The sign bearing the word "Look" will convey to the motorist that he should proceed with proper care and alertness past the point indicated. These signs are to be erected at cross roads, side roads and other points where there is no immediate danger, but where care should be exercised. The "Caution" signs will Indicate that the traveler should proceed with a greater degree of care. These are placed at certain side roads and sharp curves. "Danger" signs will be in red. All other inscriptions will be in black. "Danger" signs will be placed only at railroad crossings, very sharp curves and other points of imminent danger. The policy of the highway division in the use of the "dangA" sign is worthy of note, Frank T. Sheets, superintendent of highways, explained that the danger sign would appear at comparatively few points and only at points in the road where going is more than ordinarily hazardous. "The department is opposed to placing danger signs promiscuously along the highways because it leads to a reckless disregard for all signs where there is a real danger," said Mr. Sheets. The route marking will consist of an outline of the state in which will be placed the route number. At all main cross roads the mileage to the northern and eastern terminus of the route will be indicated on the sign in small red figures. The outline of the state, the route number and the mileage will also be stenciled on the back of all warning signs. In addition the outline of the state and the rqpte number will be painted on poles at frequent intervals so that the traveler will always have one of the standard signs in view. Where continuous care for a certain distance is necessary, because of railroad crossings, curves, narrow bridges, > schools, etc., "Caution Zones" have been established. These zones will be marked with a board lettered "Caution Zone" and distinguished by a border of diagonal black and white stripes. The routes thru the cities and viLlages will be marked with a metal sign mounted upon a post an& bearing the same inscription as the highway signs. Where there is a right or left turn an arrow will indicate the direc tion. Work of installing these metal signs has already started and they are being put up as rapidly as they can be manufactured and permits for their erection secured. In order to give the public immediate advantage of the system temporary signs are being placed on the polls along the routes In addition to the mileage indicated from the north and east terminus of the routes, signs showing the mile age to the main points ahead will be placed at the limits of cities. At the center of each city and village there will be signs showing the routes and distance to main points so that trav elers may know the mileage and read ily pick up the state routes without the use of a map. However, the de partment will publish a map showing all routes, villages and cities and lo eating the paved and unpaved routes This map will be put out during the coming winter and care used to have it plainer and more convenient than the average road guide. The marking of the new system has been installed in some places and the work will now be rushed to comple tion. Many special signs will be installed All signs at railway crossings will bear the name of the railroad and at bridges over important streams the name of the stream will be given. At the entrance to cities and vil lages will be signs giving the name the city or village and its population. At the intersection of roads leading important points the signs will indicate the direction and mileage. Highway officials declare that the system °f narking has been worked out carefully to the aid that It may MCHENRY'S Glenn Cowl in and Roy Wentworth were picked up in an intoxicated condition at Woodstock on Monday evening of last week and on Wednesday were each sentenced to six months la-, jail and costs.

M'HENRY LOST TO GENOA FOOT BALL GAME LAST SATURDAY GOES TO VISITORS JOSE OF AMUSEMHy THURSDAY. OCTOBER 18 Down to the Sea in Ships I jiullliiillltlia1.-, * ' u- l'-'--' FRI. A SAT., OCT. 1 9 & 20 Scars of Jealousy AND THE COMEDY "ONE STORMY KNIGHT" ,ii •MMDAY. OCTOBER 21 Will Rogers ; Horseman AND - AN EDUCATIONAL COMEDY SUNDAY MATINEE AT 2:3t TUES. & WED.. OCT. 23 - Johnny Walker IN The 4th Musketeer AND THE COMEDY "OH SISTER" - The McHenry high school foot ball team was given its first taste of the game on the local grid last Saturday afternoon when they met the .Genoa (111.) highs in a contest that w marked by "green" playing. However, this was to have been expected as both the visitors and local outfit were made up mostly of men who had had but very little experience at the game, in fact, were abolutely green." The fact that both teams were on par when it came to the knowledge of the game made the setto the more interesting for the hand full of spectators that turned out. McHenry started the combat with a rush and succeeded in making a touchdown in the first quarter of play, After this, however, the team seemed to become careless and before they realized it, Genoa had recovered a fumble for a fifty yard run for a touchdown. The visitors' second touchdown came after a series of line plunges and a forward pass. • Altho Genoa won the game by a score of 12 to 9, there was very little to choose between the two teams. Both did the very best they could and with a season's experience both should develop greatly. Foot ball is a game that cannot be taught in a contest or two or even in single season. However, if the local candidates continue to display the interest in the game they are showing at the present tiifte McHenry fans may expect a pretty fair eleven in another season. Next Saturday afternoon the locals travel to Libertyville, where they wfll tackle the lightweights of that school in the hope that they will be able to add to their knowledge of the game. MRS.
