STOP LIGHTS, SPEED
LAWS NEEDED BY
ANTELOPE In WEST
CRY Associated PreNsl

SPEARFISH, S. D., May T.
South Dakota game wardens are
wondering if it wouldn't be a
good idea to install traffic lights
out where the deer and the ante
lope play.
Aviator Clyde Ice is responsible
for their speculation, reporting he
observed a terrific collision be-
tween two herds of antelopes
while counting them from the air.
I'VE spotted two bands, one
with about so and the other with
about 20 head" he said. "They
were running toward each other
in the form of a wedge. We knew
there must be a ridge between, for
neither band was aware of the
other.
Their collision was like train
wreck. We thought there would
be many dead, for they were piled
like football players. But they
jumped up, stood for a minute,
looked around and then shot away
again. If there were any cripples
we did not spot them"
Ice believes the animals run go
or 70 miles an hour.

SWITCH ENGINE GETS
UP TO DATE WITH
NEW RADIO CONTROL
tBy Associated Press)

CHICAGO, May THE two
way radio-a modern aid in chas-
ing law breakers or directing air
liners-now is being used to run
down box cars and keep track of
switch engines. f4..
Radio sets have been installed
in the rotindhouse and several
switch engines at the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway Com
pany's huge Proviso yards to de-
termine whether direct and con-
slant communication will speed
up movement of freight.
Without radio, a switch en-
CINE crew is handed its orders
and then is out of touch with
the roundhouse until it con-
cludes its specific task.
The Proviso yards where the
tests are being made sprawl over
5000 acres and handle an aver
age of $500 cars daily. Some as
signments take the locomotives
miles away from their starting
point. Use of radio enables the
crew to receive new instruc-
tions Immediately permitting or
ders to be coUntermanded, with
out delay, when more urgent
needs for the engines arise.
Stanley E. Noble, superinten-
dent of telegraph and signals,
reports the tests have worked
out svery well''. They were
started four months ago by the
General Railway Signal Com
pany under an experimental ra-
dio permit.
