FOR ROAD SAFETY.
BrookeviIIe Pike intersection

WHEATON, Md, october I'm an
effort to make the intersection OF the
Brookeville Pike and the kenSlngton,

traffic. the State Roads Commission III
cooperation with owners OF the prop
erty at the intersection is engaged IN
rounding OH the corners 10 alu ILe
traffic flow.
Two of the corners are owned by
H. c. Hickerson, who operates store
on the southeast corner and whose
home is on the northeast corner, ana
Mr.. Hickerson has donated SUFFICIENT
land to allow the intersection TO De cut
back and a curve established INC
work of paving the curve is being done
by the State.
This same treatment is also expected
tn he given the southwest corner, now
occupied by a lot owned by MesSrS,
FARRELL. Montgomery and Stewart. The
owners of this property are Understood
to have agreed to the idea.
Citizens of the section are also urging
that a 25-mile speed limit sign be placed
at the crest of the hill on the Brooke
vile Pike to the north of the lnterSec-
ton. so that traffic will slow down
before the cross roads are reached
Many accidents occurred at this point
in the past, residents state.
The home of Mr.. Hickerson, on the
northeast corner, is said to be one OF
the Oldest houses in the county and is
believed by him to have been con-
structed about 1850. The house is still
in good condition.
1t has also been suggested that a
traffic light be placed at this corner,
but some of the residents believe that
this action will not be necessary when
the present project is completed. The
traffic light, they hold, will slow up
travel needlessly most of the time and,
if needed at all, would only be required
during the hours of peak morning and
afternoon traffic.

Yachts Take Varied Courses
Across Atlantic-TwO Sighted

the North German Lloyd steamship
Europa One would think that more
of the racers would have been sight
ed at this stage of the threSh, but
it indicates how widely are the varia-
tions in the views of the shippers as
to the best course to take across the
Atlantic.
For instance, the position Of the YES
sells sighted by the Hamburg lies about
100 miles west by north of where the
Hammond yacht was sighted. So it
is evident that the newly reported boat
is skirting the perilouS Georges Shoals
and the Grand Banks in order to take
the northerly and shorter route to
England. 1t is a region Of fogs and
the Summer lanes of the transatlantic
liners run through it.
Ocean steamships do not feel their
way through the fog. Time is valuable
to them. and they plunge along through
the pallid gloom like railroad trains
They do not pause to look out for any
sailing vessels that may be in their way.
So windiammer sailing in the neigh
borhood of the Georges or the Grand
Banks is taking plenty of risk. But APP
parently the navigator of at least one OF
the participants of this ocean race
and probably more-feels that victory
would be worth the hazards Of a short
cut through yelled seas.
Safe Against Storms.
Considerable misconception exists in
the popular mind about the ocean races.
The idea obtains that because the yachts
are comparatively small, ranging as
they do in size from SO to 70 feet, they
are fragile and lightly spared. It is as
sumed that any real blow would be like
ly to wreck more than one Of them.
There is even betting that not more
than seven or eight of the ten will ever
reach port.
Now the fact is that all these yachts
small though they are, are fully capable
of standing anything that old ocean
sends. even when his mood is extremely
angry. The craft was as stanch Of
beam and hull as casks, and in time Of
stress, with everything snugged down,
tl>ey would ride out the Atlantic turmoil
like casks. They are heavily spared,
there is no matchwood on these boats,
and, SO far as weather is concerned,
while they may well be long delayed
making the journey, none of the craft
should be beaten down by the elements.
OF course. a sailing boat fooling around
the Grand Banks Is adding materially
to the risks of the race. but in other re-
spectS no one would be justified in CIV
ing odds against the safe arrival of all
the racers sooner or later-probably in
some cases much later.

ELEVEN BEAT PAR
IN CANADIAN OPEN
AIIiss of Berlin Shoots 81
to Lead Linksmen of
Five Nations.

BY the Associated Press.
TORONTO, Ontario, July TO-
Crack golfers of five nations, led
by Percy Alliss of Berlin, ssought
to give old-man par another
lacing in the Canadian open golf
championship today.
Alliss came home late yesterday with
81 in the first round of the open
to lead the field by single stroke.
Ten other scores that bettered par Of
~ were hung up at the Mississauga
Club.
Alliss, late starter, rammed home
an 18-foot putt for birdie 8 on the
home green to gain the lead by stroke
from three United States aces, Tommy
Armour. defending champion; Walter
Hagen and Witty Cox. A stroke back
of this trio was Johnny Farrell Of
Mamaroneck, N. Y, who put together
16 tours, threes and a deuce for
his SO.
Cox played the new ball Of United
States rules. The others used the old,
heavier and smaller ball permitted in
Canada.
Armour had the best score for the
outgoing nine, a 80, while Alliss, Cox
and Farrell all had 33s for the second
nine.
After today's 18-hole round the field
will be cut through the elimination OF
all players 20 strokes behind the leader.
This reduced field will play the final
SO holes tomorrow.

n T AUGATUCk, Conn, July 10
Bewilderment reigns in the
house of Burkowski, the mod
est little dwelling where Billy
Burke, national open golf champion,
was born % years ago last December.
Large and kindly Mrs. Peter Burkow-
ski, mother of Billy Burke, does not
comprehend it all. She fails to under
stand why the tranquility Of her house
hold is disturbed by an endless pro-
cession Of reporters and photographers.
And all because her Billy won game
a game, indeed, which she often had
forbidden him to play. 1t was this
same game which caused Billy's only
acts of disobedience as a boy.
And while Mrs. Burkowski Stimulates
indignation at having to don her best
bib and tucker to pose in family group
for the photographers, it is evident that
she enjoys every minute of it.
Inwardly she wonders at this strange
country where a boy can attain fame
at SO silly a thing as hitting little
white ball and then wearing out the
oO4Co Va lilo GAACOo pursuing Az
Loses Finger in Foundry
Yes, she admonished Billy to give up
this game which has brought him fame,
and perhaps fortune. When he at
tanned the ripe age Of IA, and could
read and write, Peter and Mrs. Burkow-
ski decided it was time for Billy to join
his father at the Eastern Malleable Iron
Co.'S foundry to help fill the family
larder.
Billy lost all zest for foundry work
when he lost the middle finger Of his
left hand. A mill accident necessitated
amputation at the second joint. Billy
was crestfallen. He knew 1t would end
what he hoped to be a brilliant golf
career
But as soon as the injury healed suf-
ficiently Billy was back at his Saturday
apd Sunday caddying duties. He
toiled diligently and saved all OF his
extra money. That was noble gesture
so far as Mrs. Burkowski was concerned.
until she learned her Billy was saving
his pennies to purchase a membership
In a golf club. Billy wanted to play
in the tournament. He wanted to meet
the club stars on an equal basis.
This did not appeal to Mrs. Burkow-
ski She could not understand why
her boy wanted Ito play with million
aires. 1t was bad for him." she
thought.
But with that same determination
that carried him through his gruelling
play-offs with George Won Elm at
Toledo this week Billy nursed his
cherished hope.
1t was sad day in the Burkowski
family when Billy finally joined a club,
but golf later took on a different aspect
when Mrs. Burkowski learned that Billy
was earning more money out of it than
he could hope to get at the mill.
The case of Burke strangely parallels
that of Jack Sharkey, another Lithu-
anian boy Of American birth who has
