LEGION PULLS OFF
ONE MILE SWIM RACE.

An Innovation which will in all
probability prove very successful
in the years to come was inaugural
ed Sunday when the American Lee
gion post of this city sponsored a
mile swimming race in Shagawa
Lake. The race was under direct sup
ervision of Max Herseth, winning
instructor in the Ely schools and was
participated in by number OF his
pupils The race was started on
the opposite side of the lake and the
course covered just a mile to the
Municipal Bathing Beach.
William Matilda was the winner
closely followed by Uno Jokinen for
second place. Both of these swim
mers showed skill and endurance in
the slightly chilled waters of Shaga-
wa lake and led their opponents by
several yards. Six out of the ten
starters finished the race.

FIRST THRU" ROADS
DESIGNATED BY STATE

Trunk Highway No. 3 has been
designated as an arterial .ngnway
from the Minneapolis city limits to
the junction with No. 27 in the city
of st. Cloud according to announce
ment by C. M. Babcock, commission
er of highways. Trunk Highway
No. IL, from the Minneapolis city
limits through Excelsior has also
been designated as an arterial high
way.
This is the first designation of
any state trunk highway as
through roaa by the State depart
ment, but it is expected that several
others will before long be similarly
designated. The state will put up
the necessary markers and it IS ex-
pected that they will be in place be-
fore the end of the week. The
authorities of all the cities and vii
lagos along the routes designated
have given assurance that they will
cooperate and enforce the law re-
curing all vehicles to stop before
entering the through roads.
Under the state law, all vehicles
entering or crossing an arterlal
street or highway must come to a
stop. except where there is traffic
officer or automatic stop sign. After
stopping, however, they have the
same rights as vehicles upon the
through road, according to ruling
of the Attorney General, and have
the rights of way over vehicles ap-
preaching from the left.
In a recent circular letter to the
governing bodies of cities and vii
lagos, Commissioner Babcock stated
that he would not approve the in
stallation of "Stop" and go" sig
nails on trunk highways this year,
as it was felt that more time was
needed to study traffic conditions in
cities and villages. In some cases
where such signals have been in
stalled. it is believed that a simpler
device would handle the situation.
Mr.. Babcock expects IN the near
future to issue regulations covering
the placing of all traffic control de-
vices on streets over which trunk
highway traffic is routed.
