SlGN-MAPS Assist TRAVELLER
Example Set by State Of Maryland
Might We'll 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 the
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.
tlOn to other points and the distances
between such points. Thus. instead
1T being told a road leads to some
place the tourist may never have
heard OF. the sign-map will show him
that II 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 q 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.

Because of 100 yards OF flooded,

years to make a detour Of four miles to

washed away so that the road became

The picture service for Sunday
night is one Of unusual interest. The
message Of the film much near
er that which we wish to make the
standard for these evening services.
The film is secured from the Pathe FIX
change and deals with a definite reli-
gious message. The story is a modern
drama along the lines of the old Bible
story of Job. Several scenes from the
story Of JOB are thrown upon the
serene, alternating with the scenes
of the story itself for the sake of
forceful comparison. The story deals
with the experiences of a wealthy
business man and ship owner who
thru great misfortune is brought to q
realization of the need of reliance
upon a Higher Power-God. The pic
ture has been especially prepared for
young people and tie Sunday evening
service. 1t has a powerful religious
message which will be helpful to you.
The remaining part of the service
will be somewhat abbreviated but by
no means omitted. The songs, hymns,
scripture lesson and sermon will be
in tune with the message Of the pic
ture itself. This film is one of Patile's
special high-priced 5-reel feature
films. A free will offering will be TAX
en- to meet expenses.
Beginning with Sunday night all
children IL years of age and under
who attend these services must he ac-
companied by their parents.
