Matthew C. Sielski, director of the safety and traffic engineering department of the Chicago Motor club, revealed that experiments in the use of colored highway markers are being carried on in Washington, D. C. "At Washington Circle in the Northwestern section of the nation's capital," he said, "Federal highway markets are posted in brilliant colors: blue, green, yel-, low and red. "Purpose of the different hues is to point out the direction of each road or highway. All roads marked with yellow signs lead west; those marked with blue Indicate that the motorists is heading north; green means ;you're driving east; a red sign g-Jishows that you're traveling south." Once a motorist has mastered the color key, there will be less danger of getting lost on a federal highway. Club officials have long contended that one of the major headaches in driving through large cities is accounted for by direction changes, lack of geometric proportion in str«t layouts, improvised detours aM inadequate marking. If the Washington, D. C. experiment is successful, an attempt will be made to have tne idea adopted for the entire fed" eral interstate highway systdtK. tm Classified Ads Appear •'^"UOId Ads Disappear i*':. -- Reason -- Quick Result* ttlltllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllHIIllllllllillllllllllllltlllllllllEltllllHtlllHflllllllllllllllHItlltltlHIin . -f ^ • •'Via Register T© Vpte There will be two days of registration in Wonder Lake, Sept. 20 and Oct. 7, and those who have not yet signed are reminded that unless they are registered, they may not cast their votes Nov. 4.
