COMPLETE REPAIRS
ON LOCAL Streets
Roads Are Put in Condition for
Winter Months
TROLLEY TRACKS FIXED
Registration Number Given BY In
jure<l Man Proves Incorrect
Scout Meetings Tomorrow Evening
Meeting of East Berlin Fire Dis.

The state highway department has
completed extensive repairs on
Worthington rirge and the street is
now in condition to take care of the
heavy traffic during the winter
months. Amiesite has been laid
along the inside of the trolley tracks,
making the rails even with the road
and eliminating a menace that has
been existing OIL the street since the
abandonment OF the trolley line.
Repairs have been made from
Boston Corners to the end of the
trolley tracks in front of the resi-
dence OF DR.. 7. c. Hodgson.. Many
accidents have occurred in late years
because the trolley tracks extended
a full inch above the surface OF the
road. Accidents during the winter
on the street We're blamed on the
rails. drivers claiming that the snow
and ice buried them and that the
wheels of their machines became
caught in them as they proceeded
along the street.
According to the state highway
department. the repairs made on the
street during the past few weeks
will take care of the present needs.
In a few years it will be necessary
to rcpave the entire street, accord
ing to the state officials, and they
did not want to so into this expense
this year.
Repairs was also made to the
highway in the locality of Boston
Corners as well as TO the entrance
of Hudson street. Large gaping holes
made the corner Of Worthington
ridge and Hudson street dangerous
to motorists but surface of annie
site has eliminated this condition
Other workmen from the state de-
partmcnt have been at work in Ken
sington patching up the roads with
amiesite in an attempt to make them
presentable for travel during the
winter months.
Took Wrong Number
Following an investigation Of the
accident Saturday evening on the
Berlin turnpike, Constable Frank
Brown has discovered that the regis
tration number taken by Allen
Nelson of Beckley, the victim of the
accident. was incorrect.
Nelson had parked his car on the
side Of the highway and was chang
ing tire when a machine came
along On the same side of the road
and struck him. the driver continu-
ing on without stopping. Nelson
was badly cut about the body and
his left wrist was injured. For a
few days it was thought that his
left leg was fractured but an X-ray
examination proved there were no
broken bones.

X.RAY MOVIE USED
 ID PICTURE LIFE
Records Hitherto Unseen De ldopmeut in Plant lnd Animal

Berkeley. Cal. Nov. !. N-An X-ray motion picture camera here makes film disclosing action very close to the source of growth, life and death.
 It is the invention of Dr. Arthur c. Pillsbury of Berkeley. The pic lures record hitherto unseen proc- cesses of development of plants and animals.
 Dr. Pillsbury has filmed the pol len fertilization of plant life. aided by maEnifying glass and micro scope to enlarge the action 100000 times. The record shows surpris, tng activity of the pollen grains One grain was photographed which struck . barrier of foreign substance as 1t was attracted to- ward another and which bumped this barrier about 100 times before getting past it. Tho pollen grains photographed were in . drop of sweetened water.
 Filming of life action in . pi. geon's egg. from the first day of incubation to matching and the knit ting of . bone In a rats leg are two experiments contemplated. Anoth- CT experiment Is the filming simul- tapeously of tho growth of . plant above ground and its root develop ment
 The apparatus operates automat- ically. ranging from one exposure each 90 seconds to one per hour Thus 1t may require . month to take . series which can be project ed on the screen in % seconds Four to 11.O00 volts are used for the X-ray pictures as compared with 30 to 10000 volts employed foI surgical photography.
 Dr. Pillsbury reports that each time . Daily Mail rose has been photographed under X-rays the pc. riod of its full bloom has been heightened 5 to 10 days. but says hs l. not prepared to accept this as m established fact.
