MONUMENT FOR
 REV. FIR. SYNOTT
Celtic Cross Erected to Memory of Bridgeport's
 Pioneer Priest

For years St. Augustine's church has stood as a silent testimonial to the memory of the Reverehd Father Thomas J. Synnott, whose grave lies in the shadow of this ediffce, the life work of the pioneer of Catholicism in the city of Bridgeport. Today through the thoughtfulness of Reverend Father Celtic cross of granite was placed at the head of Father Synnott's grave on the glazed base of which are three ap-
 propriate inscriptions.
 Father Thomas James Synnott was
 born in 1918 in Nicholastown, Killar- ney. Ireland. He came to this coun- try in his boyhood and was ordained
 in 1s43. Nine years later he received
 his first passionate. his appointment
 bringing him to this city. St. James church was then the only Roman Catholic house of worship in the city, and was inadequate for the rapidly
 growing Catholic population. The wig orous young priest determined to se- cure a new site on which to erect a church that would satisfy the needs of his flock The property on which St. AuRustine's church stands to-day
 was purchased and the church, school and parsonage erected. Father Sym
 mott was the second Roman Catholic pastor in this city and the founder of
 St. Augustine's parish. He continued his 1abors as pastor until called to his reward on April 90. 1884.
 The inscription on the monument ex- presses in simple terms. as Father Synnott would have it. the crowning enort of his priestly career; For the spiritual welfare of his people and the greater glory of God. he secured this site, raised this church of Saint Angus
 tine and built the school"

 Fifteen months of Olympic running and American victories and defeats have, however. made Dorando one of the ssbig men" of this part Of Italy and his wedding was one of the events of the season. At one time Signorina Teresa despaired of ever claiming Do- rando as her husband. as it was re- ported while he was on his American tour that he had capitulated to the charms of an American girl.
 For weeks the bride of today was disconsolate and friends wrote to Do- rando to know the truth of the re- port. Dorando is reported to be worth s25,0O0. He is now in business for himself.

New Telegraph Order
 For Code Words
Especial from United Press )

Especial from United Press.)
 Pittsburg, Aug. 21.-Cipher designers houses in Pittsburg are racking their brains today for new code words to be used in sending telegraphic mes sages as result of a recent order issued by the Western Union and Pos tai Telegraph companies which places the charges for code words on a basis of letters to word. The new order goes into effect September and does away with the old rule of allowing 10 letters to word. The company de- cided the change was necessary ow- ing to a tendency to stretch out words into whole sentences and form such outlandish looking combinations of letters that their operators spent as much time sending and receiving 10 code words as they were with 100 or dinary words.
