STANDARD CONTROL &
 TRAFFIC BEING URGED
Engineering Council Meet. ing Discusses Street
 Compositions

Pittsburgh, Oct. 1s R-standard traffic control in American cities was recommended today at the meeting of the administrative board of the American engineering coun- cil. Eighty-three recommendations for attaining . standard system were contained in a report of the committee on street traffic signs. signals and markings
 The committee. headed by w. B. Powell, of Buffalo. N Y.. announced that its report was the result of . survey conducted in 35 states ana more than 100 cities having a total population of more than 33.000, 900.
 The report sad that cities were endansefns traffic control by em- ployinE wrong practices. adding that ''it h clearly obvious that some cities are making two fundamental errors in installing street traKic signs, signals, and markings"
 One error btng committed. the report said. r. the placing of traffic control devices without adequate study of conditions which their use is intended to improve, or of the evil effects produced at some inter- sections resulting from tho attempt to correct undesirable conditions at one particular intersection. Employ ing traffic control devices at lAces and times not justifined by the con- At{fous uras noiofnd o,,f oa the aAc- ond error.
 ''If these tendencies continue" the report said. the inevitable result will be . public recognition of the errors and a consequent neglect or unfriendliness toward street traffic signs, signals and markings. This neglect will lead to the ultimate de- feat of useful and effective methods o1 traffic control"

HOPE IS PRACTICALLY
 GONE FOR M'DONAL
Only Possible Chance h That He Has Landed on
 Some Lonely Island

London. Oct. 1s R-With every hour that passed today without news of Lieutenant Commander H. c. Macdonald. hope for the British airman's safety grew fainter until by mid-afternoon it had almost reached the vanishing point.
 The chief ground for what hops remained was that he might have conquered the Atlantic with his Gypsy Moth De Havilland and may have landed at some isolated spot on the Irish or Scotch coast. but no word was received of him although coast guards maintained . close lookout.
 Apparently the only other chance was that he might have been picked up by some small ocean craft un- able to report the fact by wireless. In this connection the case of Harry Hawker was cited. it being recalled that it was seven days after the beginning of his flight be- fore it was learned that he had been rescued by Danish steamer.
 No one cherished these hopes more strongly than Mrs. Macdon- aid. the flier's wife, who was still doing her best to keep up courage, although worn by the long vigil of nearly 4S hours which she has maintained broken by but a few brief intervals of fitful sleep.
 The liners Paris and Muenchen, arriving today. reported good weather at sea and excellent viM- bility. but no sighting of the plane was reported by any vessel since the message sent to the Associated Press by the Dutch steamer Har- denberg. which caught a glimpse of Macdonald's plane at 1880 p. m. eastern standard time. 700 miles east of Newfoundland about 1-2 hours after the takeoff.
 Another message reporting the possible sighting of Macdonald was received from the steamship Mt- rach. but this was . full hour be- fore the sighting by the Harden. berg.
