sIGNBoARDs AND SCENERY

There can be no compromise with
public opinion. The great court OF
an aroused sentiment of the people
DEGREES that the rural billboard must
go. The simmering resentment OF
the motoring public-which is most
of us-against the scenery marring,
blaring and offensive billboard has
reached the boiling point says Ma
ture Magazine. When and where
this resentment has been given or
ganized voice it has boiled over. So,
we have with US now The Billboard
Problem, and throughout the coun-
try the movement toward it's solu-
tion is general.
Outdoor advertising may be
roughly grouped under the headings
of urban billboards, rural billboards
and wildcat" advertising. The
urban signboards are in or near our
cities and, although hardly to be
described as esthetic, are not out
raging the scenery. The rural bill
boards are those found in the open
country along our great motor high
ways, obtruding themselves where
they can be best calculated to smash
the motorist full in the face with
their message. The wildcat" term
is used to describe that group of
advertising which is affixed to trees
and posts, is erected usually without
legal right and over which there is
no control, present or in promise,
save policing our highways.
The business of outdoor advertis-
( ing is organized. 1t has as it's
spokesman the Outdoor Advertising
Association. According to this or
ganization ninety-five per cent of all
outdoor advertising is, in the urban
sections. The remaining five per
cent is rural, and of this, the organ
deed industry says, only five per cent
is under their control. The rest are
hotel signs, hot dog lures, tea house
eulogies and wide variety of
wildcat" signs of varied character
and dubious virtue.

Gold Put to Various
Uses by East Indians

Most people have fondness for
gold either as coin or as precious
ornament. The natives of India have
some other uses for gold which are
quite extraordinary. In certain cases
of illness they swallow it as medicine
in the form of thin leaf. A pious In

MAKING AUTOMOBILE TRANS
FORMATION SAFER

Every year, as thousands of addi-
tional automobiles come ilFo use
and traffic congestion grows, the
accident risk increases.
This is being offset to a great ex-
tent by the trend in automobile con-
struction and modern highway
design.
Present-day cars, with four-wheel
brakes, non-shatterable glass and
all-steel bodies, give the rider a
maximum of mechanical protection.
In an emergency any one of these
features may very easily mean the
difference between a fatality and a
slight mishap.
The new trend in highway build
ing is likewise conducive to the
highest possible degree OF safety.
Engineering specific ations call for
wider roads, many of them capable
of carrying four cars abreast, with
smooth "non-skid" surfaces and
banked turns.
\ New roads are being built and old
roads rebuilt to CONFORM to THESE
modern standards of safety and com.
fort. Motor car manufacturers are
using all-steel bodies and equippine
their machines with modern salet.
devices. AS result, in spite Of
high-speed driving and heavy traffic
motoring dangers are being min
imized.

Held by Electricity

A fly can cover "a feet in a second,
and man can only make four feet
in that time, although on skates he
could manage 80 feet. An express
train, going at the rate of 60 miles
an hour. covers IS feet per second,
whilst swift-hying bird. such as the
swallow. can dart through 220 feet
within the time. Waves traverse the
ocean at the rate of 20 feet per Sec
ond; whilst sound. in the same time,
