Wordless Traffic Signs.

Unlettered road signs are being used to regulate motor-car traffic on the driveways of a Fargo, N. D., park. Although they do not give a motorist a single word of instruction or warning, they have served their purposes efficiently. At best, road signs detract more or less from the appearance of a parkway or boulevard, especially when they are literally signboards. While those used in Fargo are only a small Improvement in this respect, they hold a good suggestion. One of these signs was recently erected to direct traffic into a. new artery branching from ah old and much-traveled one. It consists of a white post, at the top of which are two arms, the right one pointing in the direction to be pursued, while the other hangs down v Although this means a reversal of the accustomed direction of travel, from the beginning motorists. turned in to the new road without hesitation. —Popular Mechanics Magazine.
