SIGN-MAPS ASSIST TRAVELLER
Example Set by State Of Maryland
Might Vol Be Followed by
Other Commemorative.

Maryland has set an example that
might profitably be followed by all
states, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Instead of the curt and usually un-
satisfying road sign that leaves tho
traveller frequently more puzzled than
before, Maryland has begun to erect
sign-maps that tell the traveller where
he is; that indicate the general direc-
ton to other points and the distances
between such points. Thus, instead
Of being told a road leads to some
place the tourist may never have
heard Of, the sign-map will show him
that 1t is either on or of the way to
the place he Is anxious to reach.
Such sign-maps should not be neces-
sarily expensive to put up, nor elabor-
ate. In fact, the simpler the better.
But how many times has lost motor
list sighed for some such simple de-
vice that would show him where he
was and how he could get to the
place he was trying to reach? The
ordinary road signs, even when legi-
BILE, are seldom of much value except
to local people, who do not need them.
