YANKEES PUT Up new
SIGNS ON old ROADS
Slang Appears On
Sign Boards On French
Highways.
By Frank ]. TAYLOR

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
With the American Armies In
France Oct. 10.-(By Mail) Tourists
along the front will never have trouble
locating the routes over which the Am
erican armies travelled, after the war.
Everywhere the Americans have been
they left roads lined with signs, tell
ing how to use the roads. 1t used to
be that French signs gave you instruc-
tons about the road, and you usually
guessed what they meant, Then the
American military police got busy, Sc
lectcd some sign painters and nov you
have road advice in good old Yankee
style.
"Do your bit-kcep to the right is
the most frequent notice in huge let
tiers. The French sign "Hold the
right doesn't give half the appeal,
"Kcep 'em rolling along-don't let
the bochc stop is the American trans
lation Of ~"Forbiddcn to stop here
''Get dead trucks off the roads"
prevents any one from making repairs
in the middle OF the road.
'sChop your converse" keeps the
trains Of trucks from preventing fast
or machines passing. At specified in
tervals space is left that will give room
to pass,
"One way roads are established by
the military police when routes are
too narrow to permit two lines of traf-
fic. "Motorized routes' allow only
automobiles and trucks privilege of
passing, horse drawn vehicles having
roads of their own.
"Don't walk in the middle of the
road" is o painted suggestion to foot
travellers who show tendencies Of fol-
lowing that popular European habit,
oLights out warns YOU that boche
aviators may be overhead-the army
doesn't care so much whether the
bochc hits you but doesn't want the
roads blown up as the result of care
less lights,
These are only a few Of the signs
Of friendly advice which the army is
leaving as u mark Of its tracks.

HOME PAPER FOR ALL THE
COUNTY BOYS IN SERVICE
New Yory Millionaire to Pay Sub
scriptions for 10000 Soldiers
and Sailors

New York.-His home newspaper
for every one of the 10000 soldiers
and sailors from Westchester county
is the splendid gift of William Boyce
Thompson, millionaire copper man
whose home is theAlders, North
Broadway, Yonkers. Mr.. Thompson is
sending to each man who has enlisted
or has been drafted from the county
whatever newspaper that man re-
quests. He is paying the subscriptions
for the newspapers and maintaining
an organization for the sending of
periodicals every week to the boys in
Europe, on the sea or in cantonments
here. 1t is part of the business of this
organization to keep closely in touch
with the fighting men and encourage
them to send letters for publication in
their home papers.
The honor roll of Westchester con-
tains the names of 6.176 men, but
there are fully 4,000 names, Mr..
Thompson believes, that are not Oh
the roll.
Mr.. Thompson estimates that there
are 10000 Westchester men in the
service and he expects and hopes to
be sending each one his home paper
before the end of the month. He got
the idea of sending out the papers
when he was in Russia a year ago as
head of the Red Cross mission. He
said he was able to get the big news
of theday easily enough, but he miss
ed the little gossip of his home paper.
When he returned he put his idea into
concrete form broaching his plan at
dinner that he gave in New York to
H. -4ol ~fa1. hi 1ICt
The nearest relative or closest
friend of any county man in the serv-
lice is asked by the donor of the papers
to send the names of that man to him,
together with the name of the paper
that should be sent to him. The papers
are notified and each Saturday they
wrap the editions for a week and
send them to Thompson's office.
sit was my experience when abroad
that one of the greatest necessities OF
modern war was to keep the men con-
tented in the trenches and at the
rear" Mr.. Thompson said. "My own
experience when far from home was

time for the newspapers that was In

get the big news-there was no

BANNER FOR COUNTY
SCHOOL Of HANCOCK
COMING SESSION.
Banner VIII Be Awarded For Best
Monthly Attendance and Will
Circulate Over County.
TOWN SCHOOLS TO COMPETE
tendance-CountyW Will Give
the Prize Banner.

Beginning next year, large ban
ner with suitable inscription will
he offered to the schools of the coun-
ty for the best per centage in &C
tendance monthly. This offer will
be made to all the schools of the
county, both rural and town, in or
der to stimulate better attendance.
The school that makes the best per
centage in attendance in the first
month of the session will be allow
ed to keep the banner until the sec
ond month at which time the aver
ages again will be compared, and,
the one having the highest per cent
age in attendance for that month
will be awarded the banner, and to so
continue until the close of the ses-
sion The school making the high
est mark in the last month of the
term will be awarded the banner as
a keepsake. The object in max
ing this offer is to stimulate {. better
attendance in our schools, and no
doubt but what a lively contest will
follow next year when ali the schools
are aware of this offer.
1t will be a matter of interest next
session among the schools to know
which one in the county was success
full in carrying off the banner.
Another interest it will create will
be spirit of friendly competition,
an element to be created and which
ought to be created.
1t is competition which brings out
the best qualities in us and every
school, no doubt, contending, for q
prize of this kind, will have strong
tendency to increase the average far
better than usual. This year, eS2e-
cially toward the close of the term,
the teachers in many of the school,
of the county found it very difficult
to keep up the average, owing to =.
general epidemic of measles and
other sickness prevalent in many sec
tions of the county.
With the exceptions of this, our
schools as a whole have made
splendid showing and teachers an
| pupils are to be congratulated upc
| the splendid work and interest show :
in the past year and we look fo :
ward to brighter prospects for yA2
| coming term of 19la-l9..
