VICTORY YACHTS IN
INTERCITY RACES
May BE One Of Features of
Local Season Next
Summer.

Intercity racing in the Victory Glass
promises 10 be one of the yachting fea-
lures Of the coming summer. Although
the class is principally owned on Long
Island Sound there are two Victory
boats in Massachusetts waters. These
have been altered slightly, inasmuch as
they carry hollow masts. something not
alowed in the Long Island Sound divi-
sion. To meet these yachts in series
of races Vice Commodore Junius S.
Morgan. Jr., Seawanahaka Corinthian
Yacht Club. plans to rig two of the Long
Island Sound boats in similar manner.
He has offered his own Mary Rose as
one of the yachts The other has not as
yet been named.
There was considerable talk about
hollow masts at recent meeting Of the
Victory Class at the New York Yacht
Club. 1t was suggested that the entire
division use hollow mast this summer.
To be more exact, the mast under dis
cllss'on is only hollow at the top. 1t
comes from England and saves about
twenty-five pounds eloft. 1t was said
that the saving in weight would make
the class little faster. The new mast
would set each owner back about s400.
When the question finally was put 10
q vote the class decided to make no
chenge. During the summer the same
conditions will govern the racing as
during the 1920 season. In one or two
minor conditions they have been altered.
il an owner wants to paint his boat
he may have her hauled out for ninety
siA hours Last year the time limit was
forty-eight hours. 1t was the most i'm
portant change made in the conditions
OF the class.

A.C. A. ROAD SIGNS
HELP MOTORISTS
Club Plans to Continue Erect
ing Direction Markers on
Main Roads.
BY o. Al. WELLS.


Chief Roadman for the Automobile Club
OF America.
No greater service can be rendered TO
the motorist than that performed by a
well placed direction sign, posted at the
right height and legible for one hundred
yards, night or day.
Realizing this. the Automobile Club
of America made a thorough study OF
the weather resisting qualities OF vari-
Gus signs, metal and wooden, painted
and enamel. and over ten years ago
adopted the wooden sign as the most
practical and useful Eight inches wide.
twenty-four inches long and painted with
the club colors IN the form of yellow
arrow on a black background. the A. c.
A. sign Is known to motorists through
out the eastern part of the United States.
The durability Of this marker has been
proved beyind question. The signs
erected ten years ago in the White and
Green mountains, the Adirondacks and
down on Cape Cod are in good service
able condt tion to-day.
Since the period of the blazed trail,
when the Indians marked their routes
by cutting notches in trees as they went
along, there have always been some
marks on the highways. When all roads
We're dirt and the horse was the only
motive power in getting from town to
town every crossroad had mark of
some kind. either of wood or stone,
giving the mileages in various direc-
tons. Now with the passing of the
horse drawn vehicles and mud roads and
the coming of the automobile and IT,
modern highway the range of travel h
Increased from ten miles a day to o
hundred and fifty miles. If a man
horseback In the old days came to
fork without any directing sign as q
general rule he followed the road that
was most worn. If he took the wronr
route it would be only for a few mile
at the most to be retraced. But to-daA
at fork in the woods, with hard surI
faced roads running in every direction
and the nearest house five miles away
the motorist appreciates the little yellow
arrow marker which may save him al
unnecessary run Of fifty or one hundred
miles.
Most of the New England States have
adopted the plan of painting colored
bands on telegraph POLES, fences am
other places available along the road
All of these are helpful to the motorist
but the lack of Uniformity In the colo,
scheme makes II necessary at times to
carry and consult key map explaining
the different bands used. Many signs
are placed along the road for advertis-
ing purposes. reading: Go Slow" "Dar-
gerous HILL" Bad Curve" "Speed
Trap" A large proportion of these ar
not needed. and this is quickly discov
cred and the net result Is tendenc.
to ignore all caution signs The small
red arrow of the club with the sinai
word Caution" is erected by roadmen
who have made a long study of auto
mobile travel and know just where tc

Motorists will be glad to, learn that II
