STATE HIGHWAYS ARE RE-NUMBERED New Road Maps, Showing New Numbers, Will Be Available Free soon. Indianapolis. Ind., Oct. 29. (Special) —New mileage added to the state highway system in the last two years bringing the total to 4,000 miles under state jurisdiction, with the renumbering of approximately 20 per cent of all roads necessitated by the additional roads, will be shown in detail on new maps soon to be issued by the state highway commission, according to John D. Williams, director. Maps free to the public will be available in about ten days. Renumbering of several state roads was necessary, Mr. Williams explained. in order that new mileage fit in properly. In carrying out the new plan an attempt was made to give the same number to through or crossroads to make travel easier by road number, especially to tourists. The new’ system may be illustrated in the change on Nos. 33 and 37. Thirtythree formerly began at the Illinois state line and continued east to connect with No. 1 in central Indiana. The road from that point east was 37. Under the new system it will be 33 entirely across the state from the Illij uois to the Ohio line. New guide, danger, distance and i information signs are rapidly going up all along the system. Lettered in i black on a white background, these ■ signs are placed at advantageous , positions and at the proper height to | be as easily read at night when within range of the headlights, as in the day. Information signs bear the name jof the town, give population, note three most important towns beyond i and the road number. In fact they | contain about the same information in brief as the average tourist inquires about in reaching a town; i The commission is taking infinite I pains to see that steep grades, blind I corners, dangerous railroad crossings i and intersecting roads are marked. In ■ fact many of the hazards of highway travel will be eliminated by the pubi lie paying heed to the warning signs. o FEW FOLKS HAVE GRAY HAIR NOW Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,” which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance nf abundance. O—. ■ ; Massachusetts Will Tax Highway Advertisements (Special to the Daily Democrat.) Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 29. —Massachusetts will hereafter put a tax on the highway sign even though erected in private property, according to Good Roads Magazine. Highway officials of that state contend that the value of the sign is derived from the public highway, not from the private property on which it is located, and that the first obligation is to the public who owns the highway and gives the sign an advertising value. Permission from the land owner is a secondary matter. It would be well for other legislatures to extend the Massachusetts idea and give the high way authorities some control over all signs erected on private property that in any way derive their value from their location as regards a public highway, thinks the editor of this eastern magazine. This is the only way that the highway officials can keep any control over the sign and billboard nuisance along the public highways. It will be recalled that more than a year ago the Indiana highway commission through its director, John D. Williams, promulgated an order to remoye all advertising signs on the right-of-way of state roads. Millions

of signs wore removed, nnd today state roads are practically free of of advertising rnatler. Members of the Indiana commission after investigation. determined that such a step would reduce traffic hazards, because in the majority of cases, signs were erected at sharp turns and on steep grades, thereby obstructing sight distances. Their version proved correct for with the removal of signs accidents are less frequent. Mr. Williams has announced that as soon as the state system is marked with the new numbers 'and danger and Information signs, which work is now progressive well, it is contemplated to remove all signs of whatsoever character off state controlled roads, leaving nothing but signs erected by the commission.
