TEST TRAFFIC LIGHT
AT NEARBY POINTS
Commissioners Planning for
Increased Travel at Silver
Spring and Bethesda.
By stan Correspondent of The star.

By STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.
SILVER SPRING, Md. January a.
Preparations for the control Of the ex-
pected heavy traf1ic at the junction Of
Georgia avenue with the Colesville road
and the new east-west highway when
the latter is opened, were started last
night when Commissioner Lacy Shaw,
in charge of the northern metropolitan
district, together with electrical experts
from the Bliss Electrical School. who
were called into consultation, witnessed
a demonstration Of q traffic control
signal device.
Device Automatic.
The device studied last night is an
automatic affair, controlled by the
movement of the traffic. 1t is proposed
to set it uniformly green for the Georgia
avenue traffic, with electrical contacts
in the road way, which will permit Of
changes by the automobiles running
over it. Mr.. Shaw stated that the de-
vice studied last night either could be
purchased outright or rented. Next
Monday night another automatic device
will be studied.
Commissioner Shaw said that he was
disposed to recommend a rental Of the
device fc- the time being, until it had
been thoroughly tested in practice, and
for the further reason that with rental
the manufacturers would be charged
with its maintenance. Otherwise, the
county would be required to employ
expert electricians to maintain it.
Whatever device is selected would be
installed and working by the time the
new highway is thrown open to traf1c,
which is expected now to be the latter
part of February. Its opening has been
held up by the construction of the via
duct under the main line Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad just west of
this place.
Device for Bethesda, Too.
Commissioner Benjamin c. Perry, In
charge of the west suburban district,
also is studying a traffic control device
for Bethesda, where the new eaSt-west
highway will intersect Wisconsin ave-
nue.. Traffic experts have been assisting
him. Traffic regulation by lights is
complicated in that section by the fact
that the road will not cross at right
angles, but provides a five-point inter-
section, aggravated by the fact that one
of the main highways and the electric
railroad make left turn. It was said,
however, that the traffic experts have
about reached solution of the problem.

Soldier Accepts Terms Of- fered by Legion May
 Meet Freddy Mack

Soldier" Olson has agreed to terms offered him by the Ameri- can Legion to appear in the head line event on it's Fourth of July fight card, it was announced today by Claud Helgeson, post commander of the local Legion post. Just who his opponent will be has not been settled
 Freddy Mack, who fought here several years ago in an impromptu smoker arranged for visiting Ma val Reservists, is the choice of Matchmaker Red Campbell. He has wired Mack, who now homeports at Ketchikan, offering him the spot. Recently Mack wrote Camp bell asking for chance to come here.
 Olson is the only man now fight ing in this recording district who can boast of a knockout of Joe Collier. Sinclair Brown turned the trick, too, but Brownie has quit the ring game. The Soldier" is said to be in better shape now than when he lost here to Campbell, and will give Mack or any other man picked to meet him, sure enough battle

Bristow deserves the record, if his supporters are correct, for the best minor league winning streak other wise, was 21 straight, by Baxter Sparks for the Yazoo (Miss.) club of the Delta League in 1904. It's the only mark the Little Red Book listed
The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-06-13

The major league records are clear enough. Tim Keefe, right handed star of the old New York Giants, won 19 in a row in 1888. Rube Marquarc. .eIt-handed ace of the Giants of 1912, duplicated the feat. In each case, the Chicago Cubs stopped the streak.
 When the rest of the baseball territory is taken in, however, 1t becomes another and complicated story, with record books offering no satisfactory help. Galvestons entry is George Bristow, claimed to have reeled off 23 victories in a row .n 1895. There is nothing in the books about this achievement nor any loose details that this cbserv- CT can discover about Pitcher Bris- tow, other than that he was born in Paw Paw, H., and spent his baseball career in m n or league company.

The only effect tonight's struggle will have on the outcome of the first half of the City League, will be either to put the Vets full game ahead of the Moose or to tie the two teams up.

leasing of the Flathead power site tt
the Montana Power company and loan
ing $750,OO0 to the Bitter Root irriga-

great potential wealth for western
Montana, according to Joseph NJ
Dixon, assistant secretary Of interior.
The whole Flathead country will
benefit by the construction of the dam
at the site on the Tathead river near
Poison, Dixon said.
1T will provide water storage which
will assure the entire F1athead irriga-

SCRAWNEY TURKEYS MAY
HAVE TAPEWORMS

BOHEMIAN, Sept 2.-"Turkeys that
eat ravenously. whose feathers look as
if they needed dry cleaning and who
trot around as if they had pneumatic
cushions on their feet, undoubtedly
have tapeworms and should receive i'm
mediate treatment says Miss H. E.
Cushman, extension poultry specialist
at Montana State College.
Before giving treatment Miss Cush-
man advises post mortem examina-
ton of two or three of the worst look
ing turkeys. To make this examina-
ton she suggests that the intestinal
tract be split open and examined care
fully for flat segmented worms. This
examination should be made carefully,
especially near the gizzard as the tape
worm prefers the food in the condition
it leaves that organ
Occasionally 1t is impossible to find
the tape worms in turkey that gives
all outward indications OF having them.
she says. The worms leave the turkey
in droppings but the condition of the
intestinal tract will show whether they
have been present. Look for inflama-
ton in the tract and if this condition
is found, the treatment should be given.
The successful way of controlling the
tapeworms, the specialist says, is in
treating with Kamala, drug that may
be obtained in 15-grain tablets. Adult
birds in fairly good condition may be
given a whole tablet, but younger birds
in poor condition should be given only
one-quarter of tablet.
Treatment should be given at the
first sign of the tapeworm, Miss Cush-
man cautions. The eggs" of the tape
worm which pass out Of the bird arc
consumed by flies, earthworms and
beetles. These insects, known as in
termediate hosts, are in turn eaten by
the turkeys causing them to become
infected
