THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 119. OMAHA INVENTED TRAFFIC SIGNAL NOW INSTALLED Latest Achievement in Direct- tog Traffic to Be Put Into Operation This Morning. Thi shows Traffic Officer John KwasnicWski, at Sixteenth and Har ney streets,' in his new automatic signal tower which will be in oper tion this morning for the direction of traffic at this busy intersection. ' The model is the first to be erect ed on an Omaha street. It is a made-in-Omaha product, and is the invention of George C. Reilly, 839 South Twenty-fourth street, and Christian Reptsholt, South Side. During the daytime, semaphore arms will indicate whether the traf ficway is open for east and west travel, or for north and south move ment. At nighttime the approach ing drivers will be blocked by red lights or given clearance by green lights, as the case may be. Accompanying the movement of the semaphore arms or the light sig nals, there will be one sound of a gong for east and west clearance and two sounds for north and south. The traffic officer remains in the tower, the floor of which is 12 feet and 10 inches above the pavement. He has a telephone for communica tion to Central police station, and a fire alarm also is provided. The station weighs 1,350 pounds and upon the success of its use will depend whether the city will adopt it for use at the busy intersections. mm:' Federal Employment Bureau Here Will Be Continued 2 Months The' federal employment bureau in the basement of the court house will continue in operation, C. H. Da.vis, acting federal director for Nebraska, stated today. "The house passed the bill giving $400,000 to keep the federal employ ment service in operation through out the country for two months longer," he said. . "The service would have had to be discontinued July 1 if this appropriation had not been made." Curtailment of this employment service started March 22, 1919, when a number of offices were closed. The labor office at 1118 Farnam street and the branch office in the city hall, South Side, were aban doned because of lack of funds, as were also all branch offices through out the state. The Omaha office now has six employes. Flu Epidemic Breaks Out at Buenos Aires Buenos Aires, July 4. A serious epidemic of Spanish influenza has broken out here.
