Danger Signals.


Red is the color universally
used as danger signal because
it can be seen farther than any
other color. 1t is also the color
that attracts attention, excites
curiosity and arouses to action. !"
Green, the complementary of
red, is seen almost as far as red,
but green is the color of which
nature makes lavish use, and
therefore a green signal is less
easily recognized than a red,
because the former may easily
be taken for a part of the back
ground, while the latter always
contrasts wildly with the back
ground. So green has been used
for clear or a cautionary signal.
At night espec tally red is used
as danger signal, red lanterns
being placed on torn-up streets
and distractions, red tail lights
being used for motorcars, red
lamps to indicate fire exits in
theaters, factories and hotels,
and more recently to mark dan
gerous parts of machinery, high
current wires and other danger
spots.
The effective range of the sew
eral colored lights recognized by
the Railway Signal association
under ordinary weather condi-
tons are as follows: Red, three
and a half miles; yellow. one to
one and a half miles; green, two
and a half to three miles; blue,
half to three-quarters of a mile;
purple, half to three-quarters of
a mile; lunar white. two to two
and a half miles.
Red, no matter how distant,
never ceases to look red. This
is not true of. any other color,
though a good green fairly ap-
proXimates it.

TO
RESCUE OF
FAIR ASSN
Must Guarantee Funds to Pay Pre-
miums; Show Proves Bigger
and More Costly than Dir
ectors Calculated

AT a meeting OF the board OF direc-
tors OF the Commercial and Farm bu.
reau yesterday, a committee was ap-
pointed to raise funds to "underwrite'
deficit in the funds of the County
Fair association.
The matter was brought to the at
tention Of the bureau by J. G. Good,
president. who is also a director of the
fair association. I'VE feel good over
the success OF our fair. It surprised
the people and IL was surprise to
the fair association itself. The fact
is. 1t turned out 10 be much bigger
than we anticipated. calling for a
larger outlay of money than was esti-
mated. said Mr. Good
Mr. Good explained that the associ-
alton asked the county to levy $500
for fair purposes, but now lacked be-
tween $3.50 and $500 Of having
enough to pay the premiums. Showing
how the additional expense was in
CURED, he pointed out as one Illus
tration the fact that the directors had
figured on $50 for each of seven town
ship fairs. but after the estimate was
made other townships got into the
game till there were fifteen such fairs.
The livestock exhibit also far exceeded
expectations, necessitating the build
ing OF more pens than had been fis-
ured on.
THE county commissioners gave us
all we asked for" said Mr.. Good, "and
we have no doubt that they will do
more if they can under the law, but
in the meantime the premiums must
be paid and have decided to put the
matter before this bureau to see what
can be done about it,"
County Clerk F. p. Bradley, who was
present at the meeting, explained how
The levies we're made. including the
81 500 for the fair. "Unless the conf
missioners can get a legal opinion
authorizing it, hardly see how they
can do more" said he. ''If there is
any legal way to do it. feel sure the
commissioners win be willing to assist
in the matter. Personally, shall be
glad to take the matter up with the
proper officers with view to getting
the claim allowed"
After some discussion, the farm bu-
reau directors decided to raise enough
money to pay the premiums, pending
any action that may be taken by the
commissioners to reimburse the con
tributors. A considerable sum was
subscribed by those present and the
committee appointed is expected e
raise the remainder.
The bureau directors met at the
Cheaney hotel at the noon hour, fol
