Uniform Sign Is Urged
by the Highway Bureau

Standardize danger signs along
American roadways. Make them
alike from coast to coast.
so urges the bureau Of public
roads, United States Department of
Agriculture. The recommendation is
made for the consideration of high
way officials, automobile organiza
tions, municipal officials and other
persons interested in safe driving.
BY Standardization of all highway
danger signs the department believes
automobile accidents may be lessened.
Deaths from automobile accidents
have nearly doubled since 1915. and
the rapid increase of such accidents,
the department believes. can be APP
preciably checked by the adoption Of
standard danger signs. easily read and
distinctive, along American highways
A tourist at the present time viii
see almost as many kinds of signs as
there are states he visits Also, In
some cases, the style of sign changes
in going from one county TO another
The subject is under consideration
by a committee OF the American AS
ISOLATION of State Highway Officials.

Details of Practical Drag.

holes so your two 3-foot pieces will
slip into them easily. You viii also
need eight old bolts, one-half inch In
diameter and or inches long, these
to go into holes In the 3-foot pieces.
Put together as in illustration G.
having one plank with long end at one
end, and other piece with short end
at same end; slip in the 3-foot cross
pieces, drive bolts in front and behind
the large piece through all the holes
but the two for the clevis, having the
end Of each cross-piece containing the
the three holes toward front. Get two
clevises and put in the remaining
holes.
1t will require about one-half days
time to make this drag, and cost you
nothing for material If you can find
the plank and old bolts on the farm.
But even if you must purchase these
it is well worth having if You only
need to use it on driveway and lanes,
However, there are thousands of
miles of roads that would be improved
wonderfully If the farmers along those
roads spent but q few hours occasion
ally in pulling drag over them
You can give your road drag longer
life by mailing q piece of angle iron
on the lower front edge of the plank
as shown in illustration A. Nail q
few boards across the top to stand on
while using the drag. These can be
nailed on the upright planks. from
front to back plank, or can be nailed
on the cross-pieces, lengthwise. Either
place viii be all right. You can then
ride on it and help to hold 1t down
when extra weight is needed.

Farmer Can Construct
Practical Road Drag

Every farmer should have road
drag. There is no excuse for not hav-
ing one when 1t can be had with so
little cost. Good road drags may be
purchased or made at home.
On almost any farm some old plank
can be found. Get two pieces Of
plank, oak If you can find it: inches
thick IL it can be had; If not. 2 inches
thick VIII be all right; 8 or 10 inches
wide and or feet long. Three inch
plank is best as 1t is much heavier
and will stand more heavy usage.
You will also need two pieces Of 2 by
or 3 by 4 preferably. If II can be
had. 3 feet long. Some good tough
wood is best.
Make these Ike illustration B. Bore
five one-half inch holes In each as H.
Illustrated: one to be about 6 inches
from the end, with a second one 8
inches or 2 inches from that inward,
according TO the thickness of your two
large pieces of plank. At the other
end bore one hole about 3 to inches
from the end, this hole to be used to
hold clevis pin for the hitch. Bore an
other hole 9 inches from this end Of
the piece. and third hole 2 or 3
inches inward from the second, ac-
cording to the thickness Of the large
pieces of plank used.
In each of the large pieces Of plank
make two holes as in illustration 4,
one at each end 215 inches from top
edge Of the plank. One hole should
be 10 inches from the end, the other
16 inches from the ends make these
