TRAFFIC RULE
81 States to Follow Lead of
Minnesota in Marking
No-Passing Zones.

| MinneSota's method of marking no.
passing zones by special lines painted
on the highway surfaces, inaugurateo
last year with marked success, has been
adopted nationally, but with some re-
visions which neceSSitates changes on
the states trunk highways this year
in order to comply with the national
uniform standards.
Thirty-seven states have adopted the
plan. which viii be put into effect in
Minnesota this summer.
Under last years system, center lines
were either black or yellow; mo pass
ing" zone barrier lines were marked in
white. Under the new, uniform system,
ultimately all center lines will be either
white or black, solid or broken. All
mo passing" zone barrier lines will be
marked by solid yellow stripes, running
parallel to the normal center line
However, Minnesota has an invest
ment of approximately 100000 in center
line and mo passing" zone stripes laid
last year, OF which $4,000 is the cost
full advantage Of this investment, those
stripes which were applied late last
year and on which the paint is still
bright this spring will not be repainted
until they have been dinlmed by traffic
wear. Therefore, the transition from
the 1889 color scheme to the new uni
form system Of pavement markings
will result in some inconsistency and
therefore some confusion throughout
the 1910 travel season.
On all sections, however, whether
old or new markings exists, the mo
passing" rule is simple and will be
strictly enforced, Commissioner NJ j.
Hoffman, announced this week This
center line mark will be continuous
stripe, either solid or broken in the
middle Of the roadway. The mo
passing" zone barrier stripe will be a
solid extra stripe, paralleling the center
line mark. If the mo passing" zone
barrier is on the drivers side of the
center line stripe, the motorist is for
hidden to pass another vehicle until
after he has reached the end of the
barrier stripe.

truth about ADVERTISING
CHARLES 2 roth
HERE COMES THE QUEEN /
By CHARLES B. ROTH

l happen to know that this policy
has paid handsome dividends to the
store. As I think it over, however,
only in form and expression is that
policy different from that of every
other organization which advertises
for your trade. All have to treat you
as though you were the queen-or
the king.
Anyone who has been buying
much in the stores will tell you that
the treatment received from clerks
is vastly different from what it was
years ago. They are more consid-
crate. They are better informed.
The reason for this change is that
they have the ideal which advertis-
ing has created in their minds, and
to this ideal they must conform.
All over the country, in every
newspaper, advertisers are vying
with one another in telling the story
of their products and in improving
their products to make them more
acceptable.
Their desire is to produce some
thing fit for the queen-or the king
and their advertising sets up a
standard to which they must strive
In the process you get the best
products and service it is possible
to provide.
G Charles B. Roth.

show the extent of her motherly love,
