Of radio message take a path par
allel with the earth.
Weagant's discovery makes it pos
sible to catch the states going one
way and the wireless wave going at
right angles. In this way the two
are kept from coming into contact
and practically all of the trouble
is thus eliminated
In commenting upon the discovery,
Marconi officials said that the elimi-
nation of atmosphere interference
perfects the wireless to such a de-
gree that transatlantic telephony is
a comparatively simple matter. AS
a result, the wireless telephone will
soon conquer the ocean, the experts
maintain and the human voice, speak
ing in New York, will quickly find an
echo in London.

WAR WORK AGENCIES WANT MONEY

San Antonio, Tex, March 28-Al-
though the people of Texas, Oklaho-
ma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mex
leo and Arizona are rightfully proud
of the fact that they led the nation
in subscriptions to the United War
Work campaign, yet it is just as i'm

ord by prompt payment of the funds
which they have promised to these
welfare agencies" said Mr. H. H.
Simmons, executive secretary of the
Southern Department, Army Y. M.
c. A., in statement issued today.
Reports show nearly $2,OO0,O0O still
outstanding on southern department
subscriptions.
Twenty per cent of the money
pledged by the subscribers of the
southern department is still uncol-

Every cent of this is needed and

Editor Bridgeport Times:

Editor Bridgeport Times:
 Having been a subscriber to the Evening Times for more than 20 years, and in that time having formed a very favorable opinion as uo The Times reputation for fair play, I would at this time ask your indul- gence for a very brief statement as to the actual facts concerning the recent Democratic primaries in the Twelfth District and the Democratic City Connvention for which I have received much criticism.
 As is well known by the reading public of Bridgeport. for many years there has been very warm factional fights in the Twelfth District and the side with which I affiliate have invariably been beaten. After the votes were counted we took our medi- cine as the majority of the Democratic primary voters prescribed, went home, kept our peace for 12 months and would bob up in the next pri- mary and put forth our best efforts in an endeavor to pluck victory from our opponents.
 We never cried Wolf, Scoundrel or any of the various epitaphs that have been promiscuously fired at us since we won the primary on Sept 30. This fight was solely for the purpose of district control. As in previous con- tests in which we were beaten our op-

 will say further that the only parties to approach me in regard to my action or the actions of the dele gates from the Twelfth District were Francis Donnigan and MT Edward Lynch, who simply asked for our sup port in the city convention, also Frank Ballard in company with Wal me to support MT. Vincent, claiming that the way we had been pounded in the daily press Mir Cornell or MT. Clark would not dare accept our SUD- port.
 MT. Ballard further said: Mir Vim cent, being a Republican, could ac- cept this support and leave no bad odor, and if I would agree to support Mir Vincent he would use his utmost effort to see that l would be reap- pointed Police Commissioner in the event of MT. Vincents success at the polls"

 Does it maintain a boys club or an organization where they may gather for recreation in wholesome exercise or for enter tainment and instruction?
