Gladys George is a famous

all and while he has been in

went to Public School 180, they

LIBRARY NOTES

Circulation statistics at the Kate
Love Simpson library showed an in
crease of 184% in the number of
books circulated in November over
the number circulated during the
same period last year. The total
number for November, 1898 was ap-
proximately 500 books; the total
for November, 1897, was 1900.
More than half of these were used
in the county service. The Simpson
library now gives service to the
county through three adult stations,
e. g. Chesterhill, Stockport, Bishop
Vile, 16 elementary county schools
and five county high schools. Books
are sent out to the schools, through
the teachers, once a month; the chill
dren then get them through the
schools. All the county schools
have been urged to avail themselves
of this opportunity tofget books.
Any individual in the county may
borrow books free of charge from
the Simpson library Also, any COM
munity in the county may have an
adult library station if there is suf
ficient interest. Anyone interested
may inquire at the library about it.

UNIFORM TRAFFIC SIGNALS
URGED FOR OHIO

At recent conference of the per-
sonnel of the governors safety CO.
crdinating bureau, F. e. Williams,
secretary, emphasized the necessity
for uniform traffic signals through.
out Ohio. He said:
I'm order to provide the maximum
amount of protection for motorists
sections, the stop and go traffic sig
nal was standardized as to design
and operation. The color sequence
and the location of the three lenses
of the vertical signal were establish.
ed as follows: From red (top) to
green (bottom) to yellow (center)
and In the horizontal signal from
red (left) to green (right) to yell
1e yeoM eaucn rnis gn sHstem nto s1ugs
only before the red stop light is
flashed. The chief function Of the
yellow light is to clear vehicular
traffic in intersections. A flashing
red is sometimes used instead Of
the yellow although it's use is not
considered good practice"
According to Mr.. Williams, there
are many communities in Ohio
where the. red and green lenses are
practice. In other localities, al
though the position of the lenses is
standard, the yellow light follows
the red. This color sequence en-
courages creeping; that is, pedes-
trians and motorists get into mo-
tion when the yellow light shows
instead of waiting for the green
ego" light to appear when it is safe
to move.
statistics of insurance COM
panies show that approximately five
percent of the population is color
blind. Inasmuch as this condition
cannot be corrected, uniform traffic
signals offer a solution to the prob.
lem of safety for colr-glind persons
