lay out a circuit in Lake county, Ind,
for the holding of the event. The
course, which is twenty-five miles in
length, is within easy reaching distance

main, of first-class roads. 1t has one
difficult, not to say dangerous, turn, but
otherwise presents a good road surface

~INDESTRUCTIBLE SIGNS.

Fawell Evans, chairman of the Amer
lean Automobile Associations Touring
Information Board. is completing ar
rangenents for the manufacture of
about 10000 Wooden road signs, which
are to be erected during the comma
touring season throughout the districts
where roads have not been properly
posted
The Touring Information Board has
decided after considerable elaboration
TO use wood signs instead Of such as
have been erected in the past few years.
1t is found the small boy has discov-
cred that he can get a great deal of
amusement by throwing sticks at the
enamel signs which chip off wherever
struck. The new form of wooden sign,
which is under consideration by the
board. appears to be absolutely indie
structibIe. 1t will be bound with metal
n tested by a process which makes 1t
not only fireproof, but water and
weatherproof.
Mr.. Evans says that more than 10000
new signs win be erected by the A. A.
a. as soon as they can be prepared and
distributed to the centers of touring
where they are most needed.
