SILVER SPRING, Md., January 28.— Preparations for the control of the ex- pected heavy trafic 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 a traffic control signal device. Device Automatic. The device studied last night is an sutomatic affair, controlled by the movement of the traffic. It 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 traffic, which is expected now to be the latter art of February. Its opening has been ?\eld 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 trafic control device for Bethesda, where the new east-west highway will intersect Wisconsin ave- nue.

It was said, however, that the traffic experts have about reached a solution of the problem. RUM RAID SLAYING IS PROBED BY STATE TFormer Convict, Member of U. 8. Dry Squad, Shoots Liquor Suspect.
