SAFETY MEASURES
 BEING ADVOCATED Three Traffic Improvements Brought to SeleCtman'S Attention GUARD AT UPSON'S CORNER
kcnsington Minister Benefits By Will scranton To Speak At Foremen's Club Meetine--Toresters Hold Meet mr-other Items of Interest

Three important matters in regard to traffic control in the town Of Ber- in are being considered, or will be m the near future by the first select man, George E. Carter.
 One Of these is the placing Of an officer at Jpson's corner on Sundays. This corner is one of the most dam serous in town and there has never been an officer stationed there.
 Judge George Griswold Of the Ber- lin town court is interested in plac- ing an officer at this point. II is un- derstood that First Selectman Carter has this matter under consideration. He is said to be in favor of such g move.
 Another improvement which would decrease the accident hazard, would he the marking of the intersection Of Pennington road and the turnpike. White lines pointing out the direction 10 motorists would reduce danger a great deal.
 Motorists, especially strangers 10 this part Of the country, seeing the trolley tracks in the middle of Ber- iih street, think that the tracks con- tinue in the middle Of the road along Pennington avenue. One accident has resulted within the past few months because a motorist took the corner sharp and on the left side Of the road.
 should Mark Route
 II is felt that white lines st this point, designating the two sides Of rarmifgton avenue. would aid in keeping motorists to the extreme right side of the road.
 It is also felt that traffic post placed at the intersection of the turn rike and the East Berlin road would simplify the duties Of the officer at that point considerably. There is much congestion at this point on Sun days, this being the worst corner in town. A steep hill leads up onto the turnpike and there are usually many cars coming from both directions. sev- eral accidents have been caused due to the fact that drivers did not keep on their own side of the road.

EVE BY 80 POINTS

The five man trapshooting team
representing the waterville Country
Club dereated the local gun club in

the exceedingly clever shots made by

cited crowd showed how popular the
quick shooting game Is becoming in
this section. ....-
The Waterville quintet put up a
clever exhibition, shooting we'll. The
final score showed the Elm City

margin OF 30 points.
Especially worthy Of note was the
clever shooting Of Chester Getchell

The locals, while on the short end

spur the boys on to greater efforts,
and some good shooting should be
! forthcoming in the near future.

Cambridge Wins
Over Oxford in
Annual Boat Race

, Putney, England, April Spy A.
P.)-Pulling their oars in splendid
unison, Cambridge's crew of young
sters won a. brilliant victory in the
annual boat race on the Thames this
afternoon over an Oxford shell filled
with men more experic-ced and
heavier, but bereft for a w. price
ished teamwork.
Oxford, stroked by the American
carsman, w. p. Mellen. hero OF last
years race, was a to / favorite and
was conceded the victory beforehand
by every critic writing for the Brit
ish press. What brough about their
defeat and the bumbfounding Of the
experts" was another example of
the triumph of teamwork over the
ill-co- ordinated efforts of better men,
From the start of the race at Put
ney bridge to the finish at Mort
lake, Az miles away up the
Thames. the eight bodies in the
Cambridge boat moved forward and
back with smoothness that was fin
ished in every detail, while Mellen's
men never really got behind him. He
seemed to tire himself after two
miles and the lead that had been but
half boat length a mile and ahalf
from the start, was extended to AZ
lengths as the crews approached the
end of their exhausting struggle.
Cambridge's time was IS minutes,
Al seconds, the fastest ever rowed in
an Oxford Cambridge race with the
one exception of Oxford's victory in
1911, when the time was 10 minutes,
20 seconds.
} The Cambridge victory was a most
Popular one with the vast element in

Mingled without coors among the

They never forgot that Oxford had

The experts who have been
writing pieces for the papers about
the race daily for weeks will have an
interesting task explaining why their
predictions fell fiat. In the mean
time the theater and cabaret districts
OF London is enjoying boat race

tonight.
