DRUG STORE LIGHTS
ON CARS CONDEMNED
White, Amber or Yellow ALI Right,
But Experts Hit Other
Colors.

Drug store lights on motor vehicles
will be abolished If the recommends
tions drawn up by committee spon-
sored by the Bureau of Standards. the
American Association of State High
way Officials and the National Safety
Council are adopted.
With a view to promoting uniform
usage as regards traffic signal colors
and reducing the likelihood of acci-
dents, the committee has adopted
recommendations revising the code of
highway traffic signals. The proposed
code also intends to regulate the use
of lighted and unlighted, moving and
flashing road signals and lights, and
semaphores and other signaling de-
vices on vehicles.
1t specifies that headlights shall be
white, amber or yellow, or any inter
mediate hue and that no red or green
lights that will be visible from directly
in front shall be displayed on any
vehicle.
Red is recommended for tail lights
because of its universal use. but if
change is made in any jurisdiction,
yellow is recommended. Yellow also
is approved for signal lights on au-
tomobiles. red and green being ruled
out for this purpose. Yellow marker
lights, visible from both front and
rear, are specified.
The code includes a chart of 13
recommended signs for road turns,
intersections, underpass and grade
railroad crossings. Colors recon-
mended and their significance are: Red,
to indicate stop and for other purposes
where required by law; yellow, to in
dicate caution, and green, to indicate
to proceed.

Tourists to this part of the country
find it one of the impressive parts of
the trip to travel through the White

FIXING THE FLOAT.

Much carburetor trouble is due to
sticking OF the float in the small
reservoir from which the Jets draw
their supply Of fuel. A Aoat that
sticks at the upper position in its
chamber shuts off the supply of gas
and stalls the engine. A float that
sticks at the lower position allows the
engine to flood, Usually this stick
ing is due to roughness, such as rust.
along the surface of the float. The
remedy is to remove the float and
polish it. A brass float is very easily
cleaned in this way.

 OPINION ON PROHIBITION

"I believe the effects of prohibit tion are already good on the whole and will be better in proportion as the law is better enforced. Thus far in my experience the effects of even porely enforced prohibition law have been good for the poor and bad for the rich. Since the poor consti- tute an immense majority this leaves large balance on the side of good effects.

TELEGRAPH SERVICE
 FOR TELEGRAPH CREEK
 IS AGAIN ESTABLISHED

PRINCE RUPERT, B. B., Sept. 2. The telegraph line between Hazel ton and Telegraph Creek, the link which temporarily closed to traffic on March 23rd with the idea that the business could be handled by wireless, was reopened for business yesterday. Numerous complaints had come in that the service was too intermittent and could not be depended on, owing to the frequent presence of static.
 Supplies have been sent in for the linemen at the various stations and everything is working through as of old.
 The tryout of the wireless system was in the nature of an experiment, the business being handled by way of Edmonton and Fort Simpson, with a view to effecting economies. Finding that it was not pos sible to give good service that way, the change back to the old system has been made, and from this time on the business will go by wire.
