SIGNAL AT DANGEROUS CURVE
Automatic Apparatus Eliminates Haz-
ard Where II 10 Imperative Cars
Should Not Meet

The danger signal herewith illus.
trated Is now in operation in Cali
fornia, and has been SO efficient in
eliminating the hazard at a certain
sharp, blind curve that petition has
been circulated favoring the installa-
ton of the device at other dangerous
turns and blind crossings.
At the particular turn where the Sig
nal has been tried. the road is so mar
row that it is absolutely necessary that
cars should not meet If they do, there
will either be a collision or back
ing out by one Of them to the neck Of
the bottle. Moreover, the curve Is
sharp and blind.
The apparatus which has been put
in to meet this condition consists Of a
trigger trap in box IL inches wide
and any desired length. This Is bur
led level with the surface Of the high
way, with the trigger projecting
about two inches above the trap.
When this trigger Is run over by an au-

MERCER NEVER LOST FAITH
Prosecuted Belgian Cardinal Always
Confident That God Would Gave
the Unhappy Country.

Cardinal MERCER, archbishop of Mo
lines. Belgium, was not actually I'M
prisoned by the Germans, but his free
dom was restrained. His offense was
the issuing OF pastoral letter TO his
people In January. 1915. In which he
said: Il have gone through most OF
the places in my diocese which have
been wasted. What ! have
seen OF the ruins and the ashes passes
anything that, in spite Of my most
acute fears, / could ever have mag
ined. Churches, schools, char
liable institutions, hospitals, converts,
to a considerable number, are unfit for
use or are In ruins. Whole villages
have almost disappeared. God
will save Belgium, my brothers, we
cannot doubt 1t. Let us say, rather,
he is saving her. Is there a single
patriot who does not feel that glory
has come to Belgium? Which of us
would have the courage to tear out
the last page Of our history? Which
Of us can look without pride on the
splendor Of the glory that our muir
dered country has won?"

that she produced one sweater in every

two mufflers and some Wristlets. She
had never done any knitting before she

Laying Out Residence Districts.

Employment of taste in the laying
out of new residence districts need not
be expensive. 1t is. In the highest
sense, economical. eIt is possible to
get far more attractive and beautiful
homes at the prices we now pay for
monotony and ugliness and frequently
for unsanitary dwellings. What is
needed is to plan for these things as
carefully as the manufacturer plans
his factory or the railroad manager
his system of trucks.

which runs underground to q signal
post. This wire is connected with a
ratchet which revolves the arm on
the signal post, warning any autOist
who may be coming in the opposite di-
rection to wait for the first car to
pass him before he ventures on the
dangerous stretch.
OF course it would be out of the
question to employ here q signal that
had to be reset. The car which set 1t
might fail to run over q resetting trig-
ger; and the car coming the other
way could not be left to reset it, be-
cause there is not always such car.
So advantage is taken of the fact that
while highly dangerous, the narrow
piece of road is fairly short. The dam
ger indication consists merely in mo-
ton Of the signal arm, not in any par
ticular position thereof; and car
which is near enough to the signal post
to enable its driver to see such mo-
ton will not reach the curve until the
signaling car has passed off it.
