Bees Dorkera Beacon

Swarms of bees recently swept Off
shore by the wind in storm, made
their landing ON the huge lamp of the
Southwest lighthouse off New Haven,
Conn. So thick were the bees, says
an eyewitness, that they covered the
lens area of the beacon and obscured
the light that guides mariners in Long
Island sound.

PLAN ToDAY's HIGHWAYS

Traffic congestion in large cities
brings forth many unusual and ingeni-
Gus remedies Baltimore, like Boston
is considering the three-day-a-week
idea, by which cars with even license
numbers can park downtown on even
dates and those with odd numbers can
use the downtown streets on odd
dates San Francisco is considering
the erection of sky-scraper garage
for all-day parking, to relieve the con
gestion of downtown streets.
Most cities which have experiment.
ed with the restricted parking idea
have found it more or less of a fail
ure A town which has ten thousand
automobiles parked in it's business dis
trict, enacts "one-hour" parking law
If the law is observed, ten thousand
cars are moved from one place to
another every hour But they are not
removed from the restricted area, only
shifted around in it, Merchants who
have been most heartily in favor of
restricted parking, claiming that cars
parked in front of the places of bust
ness keep away shoppers, are in many
localities reversing themselves, find
ing that restricted parking keeps shop
pers away from their localities and
results in decentralized shopping dis
tricts
The parking and traffic problem of
the cities, now in an acute stage, is to
some extent forerunner of the traf-
fic and parking problem of the high
way as it will be in the future. Well
travelled main roads are now demon
strated in many cases to be far too
narrow. Many main-arteries of travel
between large cities are now being
widened at great expense, which
could largely have been saved had
plans been made ten years ago for
such widening. New roads are wisely
built when plans for expansion are
made at the time of building.

With the campaign to remove IN
slightly advertising signs from Ameri-
cas- roads well under way, attention
nay well be turned to the character
of signs and sign posts marking roads
TO show their destination and distanc
eS.
The historic sign post is of wood,
with a board nailed to the side, end
ing in rude representation of a point
ing hand. The board bears upon its
face, usually in weather-obliterated
letters. the name of the next town.
Such marker was all right for
trail, or a wagon road, but is as much
out of place on fine, hard road as an
OK cart among automobiles. Modern
practice dictates that road signs and
posts should be permanent, slightly,
plain as to information conveyed, stur
dy, and artistic
For national highways, a beautiful
bromide sign post has already been de,
signed by a famous sculptor. Road as
sociations interested in some particu
lar road have adopted distinctive
markers, in many cases of high de-
gree of art and beauty, as well as util
ity. The Old Oregon Trail for instance
which it is proposed to improve from
the Missouri to the Columbia, is now
in process of being marked with signs
of real beauty and significance. Pro-
lessor Fairbanks, of the University Of
Oregon, designed the marker, showing
a typical covered wagon and pioneer
family Of early western days. Such a
sign is particularly appropriate for
this trail, which is the route followed
by early-day pioneers in their ox-team
emigration from the Eastern States to
Oregon and Washington in the late
forties and early fifties.
1t is not necessary to wait for some
large association to design or place
markers. Every town can help by see
ing to it that the sign posts along its
entering and leaving roads are plain
as to intent, ct handsome and distinc-
tive. Placing such markers embodies
the spirit Of welcome to the tourist,
which is good business for any town
and is most excellent work for local
civic organizations to take up and fol
low through.

AVOID DEADLY INTERSECTION

AS a forerunner to the policy of the
National Government when it shall be
gin to build and maintain system of
national highways, the Federal-Aid
Act, as administered by the Bureau of
Public Roads, is being made the ve4
hicle for the elimination of grade
crossings wherever possible.
Where elimination is not possible,
certain restrictions and rules are pro-
vided designed to increase safety at
danger points. Among these is the pro
vision that the road at the crossing
be wide enough for two vehicles to
pass when automobiles approaching
from opposite directions meet at a
crossing.
The view at a railroad crossing
should, when possible, be unobstruct-
ed for 1000 feet in each direction
along the tracks; the approaching
motorist should have this view for
800 feet before reaching the crossing
Highways at railroad crossing
should be as nearly level as possible,
since a steep grade up to a crossing
increases the chances of motor stall
ling on the track. Highways should
cross railroads at right angles, not on
diagonal line, which keeps the We
hicle in the line of danger longer than
one which runs straight across.
