Pullets very often are slow at start

HERE'S WHAT ABILENE
OUGHT TO INACCURATE

Emporia Gazette: Guides for
iay drivers were placed at all the
intersections in the business district
today. These guides are squares OF
plank, about 6x6 inches, which VIII
be spiked to the pavements exactly
in the middle of each intersection.
The rule for drivers OF autos ana
all other vehicles will be to keep
to the right around these friendly
signs. and thus circle an intersec-
ton properly. If any driver attempts
10 cut cut across the intersection
he will pass over the guide plate
and thus violate the traffic rules
In some cities red lights are USED
as a warning of this sort, and IN
others posts are established. Inc
plates have been painted white ana
may be easily spotted by any driver
They will be brushed up with fresh
paint occasionally in order to re-
main conspicuous. The city officers
have had considerable difficulty IN
persuading people to observe the
driving rules.

GIVE A NUMBER TO
EACH COUNTY BRIDGE

The county commissioners have
decided to number all county bridg-
es. The county. has no record OF its
county bridges or their location. A
bridge record book has been obtain
ed and each bridge, as the commits
sioners and county engineer inspect
1t, will be given a number. The
record will show the location OF the
bridges and the repairs placed upon
each.
A county bridge is considered any
bridge whose main span is 30 feet
or more, and as such the county
maintains the bridge and the town
ship, the approaches. Bridges whose
main spans are less than S5 feet are
considered township bridges. AS 1t
is now, the county doesn't know how
many bridges it has nor where they
are.
