NJ. ID. Dugan Badly Hurt

Mr.. M. D. Dugan of near the Wes-
ley Chapel, Morgan township, met
with a bad accident Wednesday.
While out moving he stopped to
kill flies on the team, and when he
struck one of the horses with his
hand, he frightened them and they
started to run. He grabbed the
lines, and fell in front of the cut
ting bar. He received several cuts
on his forearms, but the worst in
jury was to his hips, which had four
puncture wounds caused by the cut
ting guards penetrating the flesh,
and he was also cut about the hips.
While his wounds are bad, it is
thought they will not prove serious.
The team which ran away, was not
hurt, but their harness was torn off
and the moving machine was badly
broken.

NEW SIGNS TO COMPLETE
MARKING STATE HIGHWAYS

Ohio's 10000 miles of state roads
will comprise the best marked high
way system in the country within
the next 80 to so days, according to
an announcement from the state de-
partment of highways and public
works. This, it was explained, will
be effected, with 10000 new pressed
steel route markers just delivered to
the various division districts in the
state. The markers will be put up
within 80 to so days to complete
marking of state routes and to re-
place some of the damaged or brok-
en- cast iron markers already in
place.
L. A. Boulay, director of the de-
partment, said that the new pressed
steel markers were adopted when it
was learned that a saving of about
20 cents per marker could be effect
ed over the cast iron sign. He also
asserted that the pressed steel will
give better results. In addition to
these advantages, the dies used on
the steel signs become the property
of the state and will be used to meet
further requirements along this line.
This means that all route markers
made in the future will cost the
state from 80 cents to 40 cents each,
including painting, instead of so to
so cents. The manufacturing pro-
cess is simple whereas in making the
cast iron marker separate mould
is needed for each The division of
highways has experienced continual
trouble with the cast iron markers
because of the fact that they are so
easily broken by missiles thrown by
boys or in being struck by careless
ly driven automobiles. The new
ones bend but do not break under
impact and when installed will be
practically permanent. The new
markers are of the same design and
size as the old ones, /. e., they are
shaped like the state of Ohio and
will be twelve inches square. The
route number is in black on back
ground of yellow, these colors be-
ing most highly visible under a
headlight glare at night, as we'll as
during the day.
At turns, the department is erect
ing the markers 200 feet in ad-
vance of the curve with a round
plate 7 ga inches in diameter di-
rectiy underneath which signifies
with the letters "R" and IL" wheth-
er the turn is risht or left The
markers are being erected on angle
irons imbedded in concrete.
When the marking is completed,
it will be practically impossible for
the tourist to become lost on Ohio'a
roads. Consent has been secured
from cities and incorporated villages
to erect these markers along the
streets, directing the motorists over
the best streets through the city,
and again onto the proper highway.
All principal streams over which
state highways pass will also be
marked. At the limits, going into
every village and city, there is erect
ed to the right a large wooden sign
in black and white containing the
name of the city or village. Each
sign will have on it's back additional
information to guide the traveller,
but it's location, of course, will be
on the left-side of the motorists
leaving the city or village.
