HAND SIGNALLING
NOW SIMPLIFIED
ARM EXTENDED GIVES WARN
ING TO OTHER DRIVERS; NEW
LAW ENDS CONFUSION AND
ADDS SAFETY

Confusion as to the meaning of hand
signals should be reduced to a mini
mum if drivers will read and observe
the new Minnesota traffic code. The
trainers of the Hoover uniform traffic
act, which was che basis Of the new
Minnesota law, were aware that at
tempts to have different kinds of hand
signals for left turns, right turns and
stops, had led to misunderstanding,
and therefore provided for only one
hand signal. Motorists in Redwood
County may be interested in this Sec
ton of the new law, which reads thus:
''The driver of any vehicle upon a
highway before starting, stopping or
turning from a direct line shall first
see that such movement can be made
in safety, and if any pedestrian or
cyclist may be affected by such move
ment shall give a clearly audible sig
nal by sounding the warning device
and whenever the operation of any
other vehicle may be affected by such
movement shall give signal either
by extending the arm horizontally
from and beyond the left side of the
vehicle or by an adequate mechanical
or electricaA signal device plainly
visible to the driver of such other
vehicle, of the intention to make such
movement at least fifty feet before
stop or turn is to be made, except
that the requirement Of signal by
warning device shall apply to motor
vehicles only"
Since a right turn ordinarily does
not affect the movement of other We
hicles, no signal to drivers in the rear
is required. While no ruling has been
made, the operation of "stop light"
would probably be considered an ade-
quate signal of an intention to stop,
and the extended arm or some special
device must be used to warn Of a
left turn or when starting from the
curb.
But a driver of a car not equip
ped with stop light would under the
law be required to give hand sig
nal when stopping in the travelled
portion of a street or highway. The
hand signal, therefore, will stand
for just one thing: call for eau
ton on the part of the driver follow
ing.
A vehicle whose driver has signall-
ed left turn, may be passed on the
right If all drivers when making a
left turn will drive near the center of

Minnesota Road
Signs Are Made
u. S. Standard

Minnesota road signs, in color and
contour, have been adopted as stand
ard for the United States, and the
government is marking the federal
roads according to the Minnesota
system. The black and yellow road
signs, familiar in Minnesota since
1921, will be found all over the coun-
try within few months, C. M. Bah
cock, state highway commissioner
said Wednesday.
The plan now being extended over
the entire nation includes:
Octagonal signs for places where
the law requires a full stop, such as
arterial highway or railroad "stop''
crossings.
Diamond-shaped markers indicat-
ing conditions of the road, such as
curves, sharp turns, loose gravel or
hills.
Square boards for cautioning mo-
torist approaching schools, cross
roads or crews of roadbuilders at
work.
Round signs used only at railroad
crossings, regardless of whether a
stop is required.

gu" ENROLMENT CUT

The first step to limit enrolment
of students at the University Of Min
nesota was taken Thursday when the
senate committee decided on a selec-
tive process in admitting out of state
students and to take only those who
show exceptional ability.
The new policy was adopted at the
spring meeting of the senate COM
mittee on recommendations of a
committee which made a survey OF
students who come to Minnesota
from out of the state.
The provision, as adopted, provides
that nonresident students whose high
school or college ratings have not
been satisfactory shall be placed or
probation Immediately on entering the
university and that these same stu
dents should be dropped at mid-quar-
ter, following six weeks residence,
if their work is not satisfactory.
President Lotus D. Coffman said
the new policy was part of gen.
eral plan of the selection of future
students for Minnesota.
The senate also adopted regula-
tons regarding admission to the uni.
versity from high schools and changes
in the present system Of marking.

to travel a distance of two hundred

ly all the way from Duluth.
To the Northeast, one hundred and
sixty miles from Cass Lake, is Nett
Lake village, where live those Indians
who are said by ethnologists to be
the purest blood Chippewas of the
United States. Their lake, bearing
the name of the band, is the paradise
of the wild rice harvester and the
duck hunter, and the Indians cherish
for it the love one would give moth
er who had furnished needed susten-
ance.
Cass Lake or, as it is known to the
Chippewas, Gahmiskuahwahkokang,
Red Cedar, the beautiful body of wa
ter beside the village Of the same
name, has Chippewas all about it's
shores, and the same is true of that
larger body, Leech Lake, to the south,
with its wonderful shore line and null
titudes of fish. The chief village of
the last named lake is Onigum, reach
ed from Walker, where the Govern
ment has provided for the Indians
of the jurisdiction hospital and
sanatorium for the tubercular.
To the west and south are the vii
lagos of the White Earth bands. The
easily accessible village of Vineland
is situated on Mile Laos lake, not
more than an easy four hours ride
from the Twin Cities. Mile Lac en-
joys the distinction of being the Sec
ond largest body of fresh water
wholly within the United States.
Ponsford, Naytahwaush and, lastly,
White Earth, where for many years
were situated agency headquarters
and large boarding school are on
the extreme west and reached from

Government maintains another of its
four hospitals for the Chippewas and
the Sisters of ST. Benedict conduct
splendid school for the Indian girls
of the jurisdiction.
