Mechanical signals, swuch as stop-lights, provide a good warning when working pro erly. They should never be r. lied upon entirely, but should be supplemented |!3 the arm signal at all times. A driver intending to should extend his arm length and move it up and in a vertical direction. Many rear-end collisions have resulted this signal ‘as not glv When about to make a left- hand turn, the driver should extend his arm to full le th in a horizontal position. This is a most important signal, another vehicle about to on the left may run into your car, if not aware of your in- tention to “turn. A careful driver, in addition to givnig the signal, will take a auick glance to e if he can turn in safety. He will also make a left-hand turn only from the center of a two-way street or from the left of & one-way street When u\h‘ndlng to make a right-hand turn extend the arm with the forearm raised at right angles. Always give an unmistakable signal before backing, or before drawing out from the curb into trafl The horn_should only be use to give a signal of appro: and not for the purp fright- ening or annoying others, Prepared by WASHINGTON COUNCIL, GROTTO THOUSANDS stop to full SAFETY Gala Time Expected; Events Will Feature Day's Program. thousand iends of Kallipolis ¢ tto of the Order of veiled Prophets of Enchanted Realm are holding al excurs today Chesapeake Beach.
