New Hampshire Has Signs As Assistance to Autoists.

Nashua, N. H., July 3.—The state of New Hampshire does not wish the traveler over its roads to lose his way, and so it has marked posts and poles along the main roads in r.uch manner * that they serve as official guides. For example, if the traveled notices that the telephone poles have a blue band twelve inches wide with two-inch white borders he can rest assured he is on the main road running north through the western part of the state from

.Massachusetts boundary. If the poles carry a six-inch green band and a six-inch yellow band, with twoinch black borders, then there can be no question that it is the Suncook valley road that is being followed. Anybody who has tried to decipher the inscriptions on a weatherbeaten sign post at a cross-roads does not need to be told what a help to the traveler the New Hampshire system of guiding posts has proved to be.
