Death Corner

q AFETY experts have come to be skeptic-
al of the broad level intersections of
- highways, clearly marked and so laid
out that a clear view of approaching traffic
is afforded from all directions. Somehow
they seem to be more often the setting for
motor tragedies than spots where dangers
are self-evident.
Such corner is that north of Sanborn,
scene last month of an accident which cost
the lives of youthful school teacher and
younger children. More often than any
other spot in Redwood county, this corner
has been the site of accidents.
Efforts have been made to mark the in
tersection so that it's dangers are impressed
on strangers as well as on local people who
need only to be reminded. But the markings
are not enough. Something more must be
done, some new scheme or some proved and
tested method of controlling traffic must be
employed there.
Possibly blinker signs would serve to
attract the attention of motorists. Large
signs, stationary but with glass reflect
ors have been suggested. Another plan
would be to paint warnings on the pavement,
an effective method during all except the
snow season.
The solution may not be this simple. It
may be necessary to require traffic from all
directions to stop at the crossing, method
now resorted to in some places where other
efforts have failed.
Whatever the cure, the county's "safe"
corner must be recognized for what it is,
the major traffic problem of this section,
and treated accordingly.

went on to cite his non-partisan record as
proof of the statement.
This is serious charge made with no
qualifying phrases and is particularly inter-

which many farmers have felt was too dras-

Democrats naturally were jubilant over
so sweeping victory but in the background
was the SOberlng realization that control OF
the government by such sweeping majori-
ties places the responsibility directly upon
the party. An electorate which stood
staunchly by the COP in 1928 had swung
directly to the Demos by 1882. That same
shift can come as quickly should the admin

The public which was so loyal in efforts to
turn the tide toward recovery will be less
amiable now that he is satisfied with recov-
erys progress and going forward with re-

be brought into line, relief must be curtail-
ed, the army of government employees
which increased with depression breaking
agencies must be demobilized; changes in
federal programs will involve retreating
from plans which failed to produce as prom

some loss of face.

presidency have been called his honeymoon,

years his place in history will be determined.

Mines Today

Two college baseball games are
on the home program here this
afternoon.
Georgetown entertains Guilford
College on the Hilltop field at
3 p. m. and william and Mary
engages Maryland at College
Park at 4 p. m. The HoyaS and
Terrapins are favored to win.
Georgetown defeated Navy,
1913, at Annapolis yesterday
but lost the services of their
ace finger, George Nicketakis.
The latter suffered a recurrence
of an old shoulder injury and
was forced to leave the game in
the fifth inning. He will be out
for the balance Of the season.
Pile Up Runs Early
The Hilltoppers piled up 10
counters on Navy in the first five
innings-a lead the MiddieS
couldn't overcome. Nicketakis
held the Middies runless for four
innings but his arm troubled him
in the fifth and the home guard
tailed four runs. mostly on
NicketakiS' wildness.
Harry Basin led the Hilltoppers
at the plate, delivering home run
and three singles.
George Washington U. today
had registered its tenth victory,
yesterday defeating Wake Forest,
5 to 3, on the East Ellipse grounds
in one of the fastest and best
played games Of the college season.
Hill Tops Scorers
Scoring heavily in the last two
events, Randolph Macon came from
behind to nose out Catholic u.
for first honors in yesterdays tri-
angula.: field and track meet in
the c. U. stadium. The Jackets
tailed SO points to SO for the
Cardinals. American University,
the other competitor, amassed 43
points.
Bob Hill, American u, proved
the individual point leader with
Is points. He surprised with first
place victories over Dixie Walker,
C. U. ace, in the 100 and 220-yard
dashes and second in the discuss.

stands in the fourth inning. It
was no gentle slap. The leather
landed about half way up in the
SparSely settled stands.
Johnny Stone dashed a single to
right and a single to left to show
that he still was in the running
for a regular job in that outfield.
Twas not for lack Of opportun-
ity that the Griffs failed to score
more than one run in the first
three innings. They made five
hits, and in the third inning
Kuhel flied out with the bases
loaded.
The signs are ominous. Myer

Roberto EStalella went in as a
pinch hitter again and drew an
other base on balls. That kid
must have telescope eyes. He
won't even offer at a bad ball.
Luke Appling made a stop on
Lewis in the seventh inning, the
like of which may not be seen
again this season. He went in
back of second to snag the ball,
but Of course could not get the
hitter at first.
Frank Dobson, coach of the
Maryland football team was a
visitor at the game yesterday.
Dobson is one of the keenest stu
dents of baseball we have met in
a long time. And why not? He
spent four years as first baseman
with the Pittsburgh Pirates, who
bought him from the minors back
in 1909.
