 Many organizations, especially mo- tor. clubs and state highway depart ments. are doing good work in this phase of accident prevention, but the fact remains that there are still many districts in which there are few if any warning signs to protect the motorist from hazards on roads not familiar to him. A highway should have proper signals at every danger ous hill. curve and railroad cross ing.
 The experiences of organizations and state departments who have ad- equately posted highways with dan ger signs, as related herein, will be of value to those communities where there is need for this work. The ever increasing number of automo- piles and the resulting increase In accidents call for strenuous efforts toward better highway protection. No road can be termed "safe high way" until the motorist Is warned,

Summer Students at Peabody Organize
 Alabana Club

Peabody College. Tenn. June 1T.-- (Spe ciaI. )-One of the IvelIest and most enthusiastic of the state clubs meetings was held June 14 when tine "sons and daughters of "Alabarn, Q 24a strong, assembled in room 100 of the Industrial Arts building, Pea body college, for the purpose of re- rganization for the summer quarter. The room, which had hefetofcre been sufficiently large for such meetings. was over-crowded and 1t was neces- sary to adjourn to the steps of the building in order to accommodate the assemblage.
 Practically every county of the state was represented and there was an especially large and active dele gation from the state normals, Flor ence, Troy, Livingston, and Jackson vile.
 After interesting campaign speech es and much jovfaI electioneering, the following officers were elected: Miss Evelyn Wilkes, Baldwin county, county, vice president: M. C. Sandlin, Florence. secretary; and Mis- Carrie l.. Smith, Etowah county treasurer.
 The club expects to take a leading | part In all the activities on the campus during the quarter and com. mittees have been appointed to have l charge of the social features, athletics and glee clubs. Miss Devens Is chair. man of the committee in charge of the social features; Mir. Turner. the ath- letics; and MT.

 Road signs are rapidly becoming standardized. The American Auto mobile association has adopted and recommended a series of danger signs for general use by all assc- : ciated clubs. Makeshift road sigma small wooden boards with crude lettering-which offered . fine tar get for the passing hunter, and the re cks of tho mischfevous small boy. are disappearing: replacing them are substantial. metal signs to attract the eye of the motorist and give him the information he needs concerning conditions just ahead. The problem of making signs effective at night Is solved by the use of flashing light signals or red reflcctors which catch the rays from the headlights of an approaching car and warn of "dan- ger ahead"
 Conditions in many localities call for special signs. It Is now a gen. oral practice to warn the motorist that certain hills should be descend cd in second gear. A special sign. erected at a safe distance from the brow of the hill, tells the motorist that dangerous hill is beyond. "Go motorist who needs the warning gets down the grade without trouble. This road is slippery when wet" is another special sign of great value to the motorist.

 The contest was sponso- d by the Gienwood Mission garage of River side. Six substantial prizes were offered 60 the citizens who could make the nearest estimate of the mileage obtained by the winner. Public interest was flu ther wetted by newspaper stories and adver- tisements which appeared regularly for week prior to the contest.

 The white lines on pavement. such as many states has been introducing to warn motorists of highway dan gers, are only one of dozens of meth ods by which the roads are being made safer for vehicular traffic throughout the country. The need for special markers for special dan gers has developed with the increase of automobile tourists. and local, state and national organizations for the promotion of safety on public highways are bending their efforts to devise ways by which drivers of motor vehicles can be taught the need for caution.

We learned thai the period de-

made much more bearable If we
sang as we splashed the soapy wa

in sweeping and busting.
So the more housework we did,
the more we sang. and the more
vigorous the work, the more volume
we put into our voices. If We did

good to believe. We soon disposed
