Additional Paint Lines
For Texas Highway*
Describing work of the State
Highway Department in its ef-
forts to make Texas highways
safer for all motor vehicle op-
erators and pedestrians, Harry
S. Phillips, Traffic Engineer of
that Department, today called
attention to the appearance of
additional paint lines on high-
ways throughout the state.
"Under a recent program all
hard surfaced roads on the
state highway system have
been painted with a center
stripe," Mr. Phillips said.
‘"The addition of one or two
lines to the existing center
stripe indicates a warning
where single lines of traffic
are essential."
One additional line is used
on curves and hills where
sight distance is restricted, the
Traffic Engineer pointed out. It
is placed on the right-hand side
of the centerline approaching
a point of short sight distance
and continues to a point from
which the driver is able to see
at least 1,090 feet ahead.
“In certain sections of the
state where the highways
have limited sight distance
each way, warranting single
line traffic in both directions.
they are painted with three
stripes,” Mr. Phillips said,
"and motor vehicle operators
should never pass another ve-
hicle in such locations. Not
only does there exist a possible
chance of meeting an ap-
proaching vehicle but fre-
quently the curvature of the
road demands a slower speed.”
Four-lane highways have a
continuous double stripe which
should never be crossed, the
Traffic Engineer cautioned,
and traffic should stay on the
outside lane except when
passing, using the inside lane
for passing only.

TO YOUR HEALTH IN *39
We have started in another year—of the outcome—
wc can’t tell—
But there are things—we know—we have to do—to
keep our bodies well;
We shonld take plenty—outdoor exercise—in the
sunshine—it does us good—
And one of the main things—you shouldn't over-
look—eat pure, good wholesome food.
The Lord gives you the sunshine—and places the
food at your command—
This provides the energy to carry on—isn't nature's
set-up grand?
You can step out in the sunshine—and the exercise
you can take
These instructions you can carry out withoi* » single
break.
Just use your telephone—to get the food—regard-
less of the time—
I have exactly—what’s required—and my num-
ber’s plain old Nine.
And what a pleasure—’tis—for me to know—I’m
selling just the best,
And providing what it takes to make:—your thirty-
nine be blessed.

They pictured France as un-
willing to go further in the
“appeasement” policy formu-
lated jointly with Great Britain
at the Munich meeting with
Germany and Italy, the source
said, and believed that despite
the current British doctrine of
"peace at any price,” the
Chamberlain government will
be drawn into the war as the
natural ally of France.
Questioned at great length
by committee members, Ken-
nedy and Bullitt were said to
have given frank answers on
all points but refrained from
mentioning American policy
except to express belief that
this nation would not be drawn
into the conflict immediately.
