When early cams chugged over dirt roads at a reckless twenty •miles ala .hour, {per -lame ..the main traffic prob- lem was to get one car out- of the ruts when it met another and had to pass. Imrproved roads, however, brought. faster care which forced highway engineers to seek new de- vices to protect the lives of a speed die r can ling ;public. Hills were cut and ponds .were bridged' or filled to take the worst kinks, out of the high- ways, Sharp corners' became, long, sweeping, harnked, curves; roadside ditches shrank. A11' -weather pave- ment covered latency miles of highway and even side roads. Nevertheless, hazards still den rained. Even in clear, daylight, inevitable ;;ills' and blind curves cut visibility for the Bast -travelling motorist to distances that represent. only seconds at mod- em speeds.. So that {motorists might be warned of what to expect just be- yond their line of vision, engineers posted pa.fnted signs on,the shoulders of the road. . Road signs ,developed with bee roads themselves. Early si•gius peeled or faded, and so lost most of their visiibility. Expensive porcelain 'signs we're too easily damaged. Paint chem- ists faced. the problem of pa'oviding a paint that would net only stand tip to weather and facilitate repairs, but erisu•re maximeim visibility at a maxi- mum distance, either in daylight or by reflection from the car lights at night. ' Now, "Delux" ,sign finish Over Gadvatex primer. ion a flat metal base h•as Pined its supremacy- where road signs :meet still ,stand guard over the lives of, motorists. When such signs are 'damaged by accident' or vandal- i,s n, they are easily straightened out at the paint •shop, olid paint is remov- ed from' . the metal by caustic -soda and new "Dulux" finish pmts the sign back in service at a minimum of cost • and delay. One problem, however, • is no soon- er solved than an,oth•er arises. • As speed ' Limits: rose, amore and more ,hazards had to be marked:. Warning signs on the • shouldeis ,of the high- ways. multiplied. Inc' T1ett .red words they told of railway crossings, cattle crossings, intersections, curves, wind- ing reds. and what -not, until they rivalled one another for the driver's attentive. and dulled his observation by sheer weight of numbers. It took, UM much -effort to read -all those signs at high speed. Even when briefly worded warnings were •reduced to psychological .symbols -arrows, split, angled and cured - that conveyed their ,meaning in a, flash, • e'ignas on th:e shoulder of the road sometimes escaped the driver's attention, espec- ialiy under conditions of poor visi- bilaity. . Here was another problem for the engineer: how to relieve' the driver -of attention- fatigue; and yet keep him advised. of hazards ahead so that he might safeguard his own life and the lives bf' others en, the road;.' It seem- ed that somehow many of these..rcad- side messages:• must, be moved to the pavement •itself where they could reg- ister their warning subco.nsciousle with. little ,effort on the part of tine. driver. Long before this • necessity was fully realized, men with brush and paint pot went out to. particularly ,hazardro:us hill crests and • curves and betweenpainted Lines between the traffic la%vel. Even .uninformed mtot'orlets , seeing those lines for the first time,. sensed that they were put there for their 'protection and, that to cross them was to invite disaster and pas- sible death. While' th-o-se limes re- mained clear and visible, they proved their worth in- controlling traffic wherever there was dlange.r i•n passdeg a slower vehicle,. or in leavirng the one way traffic lane for any reason:, Nev- ertheless, they faced the paint chem- ist with one of the most baffling paint problems in the whole history of highway safety. The gods cannot ,help a mat who doses 'opportienitlee. - To be effective, traffic lines must have clear-cut edges, and must also present a solid -ender •coder with, -no trace of the under surface showing th'nougb a single coat. That coat, applied while traffic continues to use - the road, must be, extremely fast in, da'y- inig. In anything from five to forty- five minutes, 'after it is- laid, it must be ready to stand seaere abrasion from break action, and ',pining and skidding of heavily loadseid tires' wi.th- 'out. lifting from, the -pavement or smearing in any way. It rhes to give the ; greatest possible visibility at a maximum :distance under all light conditions - daylight or reflection from headlights. It must retain that bi.'idliant i,sible color in spite of the action of chemicals in the, pavemieait itself ' which tend to stain other paints. Axid to: all tsh,ese requirements that it must withstand for one year the scorching heat that black pave- ment absorbs from the summer sen; the erosion of rain and sleet and sesow; the grinding, cutting effect of ice and frost; and that it must be adaptable' to 'suitable means of appli- cation. Only when one realLizee that all these requirements: have been met can one appreciate the tremendous; chemical aehieveamrent that painted traffic lines repressent. s Methods of application, of course, have advanced from shamed. brushing, through the stage o'f .the hand -pushed machine that could lay drown a mile of iine a day, to the present modern truck -mounted' spraying equipment that is capable of marking five to ten miles a day.

"a%"'"syr •: :',;;bS.,.;`';;a^•;?,�">v,'':ik'•Ev:ifs:?Q#: Lively action shots, like this, are taboo for the slow lens -but the fast lens and fast shutter get them easily. . IF YOU have a fine, fast lens on your camera, it's something like having a motor of ample power in your automobile. The reserve ca- pacity is there when you need it - for emergencies, unusual situations, sudden traffic problems, steep grades and bigger hills. There are two "hills" in photog- raphy. One is fast action. The other is adverse lighting-sfiadeon 'your subject; dull cloddy days, weak light in extreme late after- noon, and some after -dark subjects. The fast lens -always fitted to a shutter of excellent speed -takes care of you on both these, hills. Of course, if you stick to sub- jects that will stand still in bright sunshine, the slow lens is all right. Millions of fine snapshots are taken with t41ow speed lenses every year ---,and when yo'u're careful to ctzoose suitable subjects andlighting ooir- ditions, good results are certain. But -Vote is willing to stick to "motionless" subjects? How about the baby-, Who is best for pieturea when he is in a lively mood? Ho* about the pets? How about Ann skipping- rope or Bill atbasket- ball practice, sledding, or skating? How about parades -games on your picnics or outings -and natural, unposed shots of friends? No; for all-around use, and really good pic- tures, a fast lens is the, prescrip- tion. 'And I, for one, believe' it quickly pays for itself in snapshot satisfaction. Some amateurs think it's harder to use a fast lens, but that isn't really true. For ordinary shots, set the lens- at f/11, use a shutter speed ..of 1/25 second, and leave' the focus at 15, -20, or 25 feet. When light is weak, or when you're using a high shutter speed to "atop" fast motion, just use a larger opening, and set the focus for the distance from camera to subject.
