Show Horn Blowing Irritates and Also Meaningless Only the thoughtless motorist blows his horn when his nir It lit a truffle Jam. according to President Charles M. Haycj of the Chime" Mo-tor rlub, who pointed out that horn blowing under these conditions ts useless nnd meaningless. Such a practice hinders rather thnn helps. Mr. Hayes declared. It Irritates the nerves of the man Id front end of the traffic pollremiiii on duty; It doesn't clear the Jam; It frequently angers all concerned and further delays the movement of traff-ic, Mr. Hayes asserted. The proper place to make liberal use of the. horn, according to Mr. Hayes, Is when driving on curves; on mountain roads or when approaching blind Intersections on country ronds. In such places the motorist who has the habit may Indulge to his heart's content with a result-ant reduction of the accident hazard. TRAFFIC LIGHT Red and Green Alone Ac-complish Desired Results. The amber traffic light, designed to increase safety of pedestrians and pre-ve- Intersection collisions. Is fast be-ing forced Into the discard. While traffic experts are still at odds as to the value of the ambet light In combination with red and green lights, there Is a widespread movement to discard the "warning- - or "get ready signal because drivers v misinterpret Its meaning. New York. Buffalo. Albany, and d ens of smaller cities throughout the country have adopted a system of red and green traffic lights, omitting the 01 yellow light, and have reported their S success. Most cities still use the three-colo- r lights, but there is a widespread dif-ference In the combinations used and the Interpretation placed upon the eeu- - ter light. The experts agree that If the yellow j or amber light ts used mulnly as a warning of a change It should be dis-- i carded. There Is a tendency for traf fic to start while the yellow light U showing, which Is undesirable. Many of the experts say that the red and green alone accomplish the desired re-sult with less confusion. That there are wide differences In Interpretation of the amber light's meaning Is shown by a study just com-pleted by the American engineering council. Twenty-si- x cities using the three-colo- r traffic signal Interpret the amber as a caution signal; 27 use It as a warning of change; 17 to clear the Intersection of traffic and 11 for pedestrian movement Elghty-flv- e cities are using the three-colo- r signal system, of which 70 use the amber after red and green. Eight have recognized the undeslra-bllit- y of using It after the red, and consequently use It only after the green Is flushed. Eighteen cities use the amber In combination with the red or green. The experts agree that use of the ember In combination with red, as Is '' the custom In Washington and sev-- ' eral other large cities, should not be continued. The amber light In such cases is taken as a signal to start. Most of the men who have studied the problem see some merit In the use of amher with the green light, It should bring moving traffic to a halt in preparation for a change. The exponents of the r sys-tem, red and green only, suy that the desired result enn be obtained without ' the amber light Three cities have Inaugurated sys-- , terns of only red and green lights, but . provide a period of darkness to clear the Intersection for the change. Nine have overlapped the red and green In all directions. Working on the Information that persons who are to some extent color-blind constitute 5 per cent of the pop-ulation, the bureau of standards has selected colors which are dlslngulsh-abl- e to most If not all persons having defective color vision.

A creek, a tributary of the Potomac, provided the power to turn the cumbersome mlllwheel and also served as a waterway for navigation. Sailing ships from the seven sens came up the river and creek from tlie Atlantic nnd moored at Washington's mill wharf, where they loaded cargoes of flour and bar reled biscuits. Whn the prices ol wheat and flour were low Washing ton had his colored cooks hake stu pendous supplies of ship biscuit which were packed In hnrrels and sold to the mariners as nutritious pro visions. The Mount Vernon flour mills pro-duced a fine quality product. Its fume gained such Importance In the British Isles that the English cus-toms officers eventually passed all t Washington's flour on the basis of its origin nnd label without opening and examining each shipment. Washing ton's diaries record that at times he sold as many as UXXJ barrels of flour In one cargo. Farm Stimcz Dear to Heart of Washington George Washington, In whose honor oar Inimitable national capital was named, wanted more than all else to rank as the lending fanner and agrl culrnrlst ot the New world. Ills hob by was scientific farming. Of all the books In his extensive library, those which related to agriculture were most read. Our first President cherished the desire to spend his days at Mount Vernon, where he could .experiment with seeds and plants Imported from foreign fields. He wished to solve the perplexing problems of the Vlr glnla planter. He aspired to develop Mount Vernon Into the finest plnnta tlon and stock farm In the western hemisphere, according to George H I incy. writing In the Washington Star. Eminent American architects who have made careful studies of the con structlon of Mount Vernon's mansion say that the house as completed ry Wushlngton was built to nil list and seven to eight centuries of service. The frame of the home consisted of hand-hew- white oak timbers which were Joined together with wooden dowe! pins Instead of spikes. The foundation was built to endure as long as the rock of ages. Some of the sandstone walls date hack to the days of Augustine Washington. It Is probable that 7(K( years from now tbe mansion will still he standing as a cradle of history and shrine of patriotism. Symbolic of Masonry. Perhaps at some time or other when you have visited Mount Vernon you have been Impressed by the me thodtcal arrangement of the barns spinning house, kitchens, oflice gar dener's house, seed and Icehouses, carpenter shop, laundry, smokehouse nnd other outbuildings. History be-lieves that George Washington, the leading Mason of his day, designed the layout of his estate buildings to represent the outlines of Masonic symbols. The modern hlrdman who files his plane low over Mount Ver-non may be able to recognize the curious Insignia scrolled In structures of brick and wood. Even though Mount Vernon were not the former home of one of the world's greatest generals and one of Amerlcu's most belovea Presidents, It would still merit historical preserva-tion as an example of superior Coloni-al architecture and an Illustration of successful scientific farming. George Washington devoted many years of study and effort to the perfection of his Potomac plantation. He bullded so well and wisely that modern plan-ners and designers do not err when tuey copy some of his schemes and arrangements. In the Chicago sub urbs an American millionaire has a remarkably fine reproduction of Mount Vernon on his country estate. It fronts on one of tbe "Gold Coast" ' highways, sjieckled with the best homes which American architecture can devise and build. The simula-tion of Mount Vernon Is outstanding among the mansions, many of which cost double and treble as much. It was from his Law-rence that George Washington Inher-ited the 2,.')00-acr- e homestend which was later a part of spacious Mount Vernon. George subsequently pur chased the Interest of Lawrence's wife in the estate and at the age of twenty-on- e became the sole owner and proprietor of one of the Old lo minion's finest plantations. The young landlord purchased adjoining acres until he finally possessed a plantation of 8.IHMI acres. One half of the area consisted of timber. Five Farms on Estate. George Washington divided his Media and forests Into five farms which he designated as Mansion Home farm. River farm. Union farm Dogue Run farm and Muddy Hole farm. He placed a foreman In charge of each farm, with a manager over seeing the entire enterprise. The manager was responsible to Washing ton and reported In detail every Sat urday Do not gain the Incorrect lmpres si on that GeoiBe Washington was a 'front porch farmer" because he hired an agricultural manager to look aftet his farming Interests. Washington was collet; away from home so fre-quently that It was Imperative that he keep some one on the estate to look after his Interests. While oul first President was at home he worked as hard as any farm hand His day began at sunrise, when he fared forth to see that his farm hands were at their stations on time After breakfasting at 7 Washing ton would spend t he morning riding over Ills farming fields, seeing to I In person that his orders were faltb fully executed. He also kept all the farming records and accounts, wrote the daily happenings In special agrl cultural diaries and generally took charge of the business affairs of the great plantation.
