Skowhegan, Sept. 26-Dostie's green

score came near the end of the first
half. Daley of Camden was the visi-

Pedestrians Must Now Heed
Signals or Receive
Public Lecture

The "Stop-Go" legend on the
semaphores at more than fifty
street intersections assumed added
significance today for pedestrians
who will be controlled henceforth
at these points by the same re-
strictions as are placed on the
movement of vehicles.
At the intersections where the
pedestrians will be required ia
obey the usual traffic signals. they
will be given notice of changes
in the flow of traffic by blasts of
a whistle. One blast will worn
them to stop. while two blasts will
he notice that they may cross the

No safety islands will be painted
in the center of the streets where
the new system is installed. The
plan is an extension of the scheme
tested last week at Fourteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue
Pedestrians who do not move with
the traffic officers signals, may
expect a public lecture for their
offense.

FOR
SIGNS IS
NEED
Few ArteriaI Highways Sup
t piled With Signal Markers.
Seven Men Employed

An inadequate fund for painting
traffic signs is proving an obstacle
in the way Of putting into effect
the boulevard highway system in
the District.
It was learned today that stop
signs cannot be painted at more
than one-fourth Of the boulevard
street intersections until great
variety Of other traffic sign paint
ing has been completed. Acting
Traffic Director /. G. Moller de-
clared, however, that the work Of
designating all the arterial high
way intersections will be pushed
as fast as possible.
5000 Available
There is now $1,000 available for
all traffic sign painting during the
fiscal year. and six painters are
|semploved to do the work. They
are. engaged on all the painting Tor
the traffic system. such as lines
marking crossWallks, stop" signs,
white lines in the center OF
thoroughfares, besides doing all the
upright signs posted throughout
the District.
The delay in the designation Of
all the boulevard intersections is
occasioned by the fact that there
is not enough money to hire adj
ditional painters. The present fund
will allow employment only OF
six men. and new work will have
to be done as various jobs are
completed
Status Remains Same
The stop" signs are now painted
at intersections along Connecticut.
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Vermont avenue and Sixth, Tenth
and Eighteenth streets northwest.
These intersections were done first
because traffic is heaviest on these
boulevard streets, according to the
acting traffic director. Painting Of
the remainder of the thirty arterial
highways will be done gradually.
Urtil these thoroughfares are desig.
mated, however, their status remains
the same as other streets.

N. Y. IMMIGRATION HEAD
FACING OFFICIAL CENSURE

Disciplinary action. if any, against
Henry Fl. Curran, immigration
Commissioner at Ellis Island, for
his outspoken criticism of certain
immigration policies Of the Depart
ment of Labor, will not be taken
until Secretary James J. Davis
returns from his "trip abroad. it
was learned today. Davis is now
making a study of labor conditions
in British steel and textile mills.
He will return to Washington on
August Is.
In the meantime, the policy of
permitting immigrants from the
British Isles to land in this coun-
try without going through Ellis
Island, after having been medically
examined at British ports and on
board ship, will be continued. 1t
was this policy that brought forth
Cl1rran's criticism.

DOCTORS DOUBT
EFFICACY Of
SLEEP TEST
Plenty of Data on Subject
From Similar Experiments,
Say Scientists

Just what will medical science
gain by the George Washington
University insomnia marathon, :"
which subjected eight volunteer
students to sixty hours of sleep
Iessness, which ended late y0ster-
day?
The medical men of Washington
do not know the answer to this
question. They seem somewhat
in doubt as to why the experiment
was made, at the sacrifice of dam
age to the students mental and
physical conditions, because such
tests are by no means new.
The medical libraries of Wash
.ington have shelves full of books
on the effects of long abstinence
from sleep and of other abnormal
conditions upon TIE human system.
For many years experts in the
world of medical science have
worked on this problem until 1t Is
fairly we'll threshed out.
DOctOYs Puzzled
AS the local test was made under
conditions very similar to previous
examinations of the kind, the doc
tors are wondering just why it was
staged. Of course, as matter OF
professional honor, they summed
the idea that a colleague, Doctor
Fred A. Moss, PSYCHOLOGY professor
at George Washington, would have
conceived the idea OF the test
merely as a means of personal eX-
ploitation.
Doctor William C. Fowler. Dis
trict health officer, declared his in.
ability to see what advantage would
be gained by the local test.
"I have not inquired deeply into
this experiment" said Doctor F'ow'
Ter. but I cannot understand what
good will be gained by it. The eff
fects of lack of sleep upon human
beings is well-known, but perhaps
those in charge of the experiment
expect to- develop something new.
AS far as the public health is con-
cerned, 1 am not interested in the
experiment"
Doctor Williams View
Doctor Tom A. Williams, noted
psychologist, psychiatrist and au-
thor, took slightly different view
of the sleep test.
"The only interesting feature of
the experiment" he said, may
come from the study of the emo
tons under the conditions imposed.
Such studies as the one in ques-
ton have been carried on frequent
