The victory spread the fame of Alboin, now king of the Lombards, and when he announced a plan for the conquest of a fertile country In Italy, volunteers flocked to his standard, including Saxons, Germans, Hungarians and Scythians.

That is to eny, it's going to be easier to get there, so for as taking a direct route ond not having to inquire constantly, "Am I on the right road?" are concerned. And you can thank your Uncle Samuel for that. For the federal bureau of public roads has announced- that the United States system of highways will soon- be complete and that 80,000 miles of uniformly marked highways, crisscrossing the country in a gigantic checkerboard pattern and linking every section Into a simple comprehensive plan, will await the motorist tour. who sets out on a This task has been completed after two years of Intensive work by state and federal roads officials who have synchronized and harmonized all the various highway systems into ono preat national system with uniform and easily remembered markings. Hereafter the tourist will not have to remember road names, color bands or any other confusing designations. The main transcontinental lines (east and west) are numbered evenly from 10 to 00 In multiples of 10, with one exception (that Is No. GO Chicago t,n Los Angeles). Interspersed between trunk lines these transcontinental are other routes carrying siifh num bers as 2, 4. 6 and 8, all of which car- ry out the Idea that roads bearing evpn numbers are east and west roads, North and south roads hear odd numbers, the main routes being nunbered from 1 to 101 in multiples of 10. They also have supplementary routes, nfhnlng north and south, bearing odd numbers, such as the 45 and T.'i shown In the accompanying list. roads, Connecting and cross-ove- r which give easy access to leading cities on the main routes, are numbered In such a way as to Indicate their relation to the trunk lines. This Is done by prefixing a Third digit to 1lie trunk line number. For Instance, Route 11 Is a trunk line from Houses Point, N.

Following the new routes Is on easy matter because of the simplicity of the markers used. As shown by the sketch which accompanies this article, the route marker Is a white United States tmleld, IS1, inches by 15 Inches, carrying the name of the state and the route number In black. In addition to these route marker, the federal system has an approved series of danger, caution, direction and miscellaneous informatloo-givin- g signs. These use but three colors, black, white ond yellow, and are in five distinct shapes. Caution signs are of two types, designating varying forms of danger. If It Is a sharp curve or a narrow bridge or other dangers Inherent in the construction of the road itself this Is indicated by a diamond-shapesign 24 by 24 laches. Approaches to crose roads or to school sites are shown on a square plaque 24 Inches by 24 Inches. On each plaque Is told the danger to be looked for. The stop sign Is octagonal with the word "stop" In the center. The railroad crossing sign Is the familiar circular plate. 2 Inches In diameter, with the letters "RR" In the center.

The Multiplicity of these, with all their various signs and markers ond the confusing Information about them, will be superseded by the one uniform federal system.
