Gov. cox TRIES
TO INVENTORY
PACIFIC TOUR

En- route with Governor Cox, Phoe-
nix, Arizona, Sept. 22.-As Gov
James M. Cox's train swung into
Arizona today eastward bound, the
Democratic presidential nominee and
his advisers were in conference in an
effort to determine what has been
the effect of the stumping tour along
the Pacific Coast. Their findings will
be the basis upon which the cam
paign in California, Oregon, Wash
ington and states adjacent will be
conducted from now until election
The immediate problem, leaders
said, is to seperate hopeless states"
from hopeful. and to work out de-
tailed plans for clinching the latter
states for the Cox-Roosevelt column.
So far the Governor has entered
II states with a total electoral vote
of IS since he left Columbus on Sept
g. Although Governor Cox is not
ready to class any of these states as
irrevocab1y lost, he freely admits the
wisdom of concentrating on Washing
ton, Oregon and California as doubt
full states with substantial weight in
the final decision. If present plans
are carried out Franklin D. Roose-

FOUR BRIDGEPORT
BOYS RECEIVE
SUSPENDED TERMS


Responding to an earnest plea by
Attorney Lavery on behalf of Daniel
Bowden, Frederick Helmerich, Johr.
Koraniczki and Calvin Bassett in
court charged with the threat of auto
mobile tires from North Main street
automobile store. Judge Keller yes
terday gave the young men a sus-
pended sentence in the state reforma-
tory at Cheshire. All had previously
pleaded guilty to the charges. Prose
cutor E. E. Keeler presented the
states case to the court and also
recommended clemency basing his
statement on the conduct of the
young men at the time of their arrest
and their previous record in Bridge
port.
In sentencing the quartette the
court again referred to the growing
list of crimes committed by the young
men of Bridgeport directly traceable
to gang influence and warned the
culprits to walk clear of gangs in the
future.

THE PEOPLES SAY

Gentlemen:
We, the Joint Shop COMMITTEES Of
the employees of the Lake Torpedo
Boat Co. desire to correct the glazing
and untruthful statements contained
in the other papers last evening in
reference to there being no demon
stration here yesterday due to the
presence of squad of police.
A protest meeting was held in the
street to day at noon when hundreds
of employees voiced their disapproval
of this loose method of dealing with
the reputation of large body of
law abiding citizens of this city.
There are more Americans and Eng
lish speaking employees in this plant
than any other in Bridgeport.
There was no dem onstration here
because none was contemplated. "A
petition signed by about fifty per
cent. of the employees to have the
jitneys run to or near the plant was
the only action taken or consid Ter ed
by the employees of this company
yesterday, and we request that you
give this prominence in your
columns.
Respectfully.

Campaign Opens in Interest
of Local Morocco
Industry
BUSINESS MEN
GET TOGETHER

First step in a campaign intended
60 pOpularze the wearing OF shoes
made from glazed kid and thus build
up the leather industry In Whining
ton Will be taken this afternoon.
AT the request OF the parties In
Eerested, David Snellenburg will issue
a call for a meeting OF leather man
.ufacturcrs, leather workers and mes
chants OF the city. The mcetins
VIII be held next Wednesday night
i'm parlOrs A and B, OF The Hotel
dupont. Speaking Of the plan, Mr..
Snellenburg said today:
THE object OF this meeting Is TO
map out campaignsby which IL is
hoped TO create a demand for the
wearing OF glazed kid footwear. IL
Is expected that through a discussion
OF the subject, ways and means can
be devised to thus promote the leather
industry in The city.
"The idea originate with the leather
workers themselves, who are cons
dent that II the wearing Of glazed kid
shoes can be made popular In VIII
mington the style will be taken up In
other cities Of the country. The
workers themselves offer TO. cooper
ate in every way by wearing glazed
Nh shoes themselves, by having their
families wear them and by inducing
their friends and acquainkances 10
wear them. Thus a leading Whining
ton industry will be promoted. Any
thing that will benefit the leather in
dusiry will beneflt al citizens OF WI
mington."
r According 10 reports the leather
plants Of the city have been hard hit
OF late as a result OF a serious differ
ence in the exchange rates on money
between this country and Great Bri-
tain, which Is a heavy buyer Of glazed
kid. Il has been estimated that 25
per cent. Of the 1000 workers IN the
| plants have been laid OF.

ODD INVENTIONS PATENTED
!ornado-Proof House, "PedaI caIorif.
Gators" and Othsr Queer Con-
t~rivances Listed.

Washington.-In e~numerating some
of the strange patents sanctioned by
the patent office an attorney mentions
a tornado-proof house, the invention
of a New England man. 1t is built
on a pivot, so that every breeze turns
1t with its head to the wind.
Among other inventions is a "pedal
cal~oriffcator," with which one can
blow upon ones toes to warm them.
1t is a tube, worn under the clothing,
with a branch leading to each foot and
a mouthpiece at the top. Then there
are a polisher for false teeth-merely
the end of a corncob stuck on a stick !;
a sanitary pocket for carrying chewing
gum, a wooden bit for preventing snor-
ing, a noiseless alarm clock that yanks
he leeper's arm instead of ringing,
another that starts a mechanism that
throws him out of bed, and a machine
7r counting eggs as they are laid.

land, he hastens to hide Eve. When
Philip asks for her Job tells him that
she is dead.
Broken-hearted Philip returns to
the yacht and is about to sail when he
sees two figuers struggling in the
light tower. Hurriedly going ashore
he finds Eve in the embrace Of jim
Smoot, the bullying mate of the yacht.
Knocking the mar down he rescues
Eve and goes to demand an explana-
ton from Job Coffin. The excit-
ment has been too much for the old
man and they find him dead at the
foot of the stairs.
With nothing to hinder them Philip
and Eve leave the island, which has
been so long a prison for the girl. and
soon after a quiet wedding takes
place in the little church in the viii
lage.

WIRELESS TO GUIDE FLYERS
Patrol Planes on the Mexican Border
Are Equipped With Radio
Sets.

Washington.-In order to reduce the
danger Of American air service pilots
accidentally flying ver Mexican terri
tory or becoming lost while on border
patrol duty, the commander of the
N~inety-first Aero squadron, stationed
temporarily at Ream field, Imperial
Beach, Cal, has had every plane of
the squadron equipped with a radio set
with a wave length Of 377 meters,
which is the best wave length to dodge
interference. All pilots are required
to check their position every five min
utes.
AS a further p~recaution the radio
officer of the Ninety-first squadron has
erected at Ream field a radio compass
station by which readings are taken
while planes are sending in their po-
sitiOn reports. AS the course is al
most straight east from Ream field the
radio officer can tell almost instantly
whether a. given plane is holding to
its proper air line.
Should a pilot become confused. lose
or mistake his position and turn south,
the radio compass would Immediately
show that the plane was over Mexican
territory.

AMAIGAMATION
OF DEPT. STORES
In England Is Noted In Official Trade
Reports Received In Washing
ton Recently.

WASHINGTON. March 31-Amal-
gamation of department stores in
England is noted in official trade re-
ports received here as the latest dev-
elopment of a tendency toward COM
bination in each branch of England's
national industries. Big stores, es-
pecially those in the more important
cities, are combining through purch-
ase or consolidation and already it
has become apparent to some observ-
ers that the business soon will be con
centrated in the control of a few big
interests.
The American Chamber Of Com
merce in London reports that n OF
the largest department stores Of that
city recently absorbed three competi-
tors and has branched out in South
America through the opening of a
large establishment in Buenos Aires
"The value of advertising as a sell
ing force is becoming more realized
in England" the report said. "This
movement towards amalgamation is
not expected to destroy competition,
though it may tend to narrow its
scope"

WHO INVENTED OUDA
Brothers Ask Baltimore Court to
Settle Dispute.
Brothers, Apparently Lacking Faith
in Talking Board, Ask Judge
to Decide.

Baltimore.-At the that the
ouija board, which some years ago ex-
cited the country and then virtually
disappeared, has again come into the
limelight throughout the world, two
brothers are engaged in litigation here
over the ownership of the patent.
The trial is 10 in progress of the
suit of Isaac Fuld, trading as the
Southern Toy company, who is ask
ing for an injunction to restrain his
brother, William Fuld, from deriving
pecuniary profits through the sale OF
the ouija board.
The plaintiff asserts that in 1904 he
originated, manufactured and placed
upon the market the board under the
copyright name of the oracle and
that later William Fluid started the
manufacture of the ou1ja board.
William Fuld asserts hat he and
Isaac Fuld were in business together
years ago, and hat the ouija board
is the original talking board, and
claims that the oracle talking board
manufactured by Isaac Fuld is q
copy of the one placed on the market
by him.
The fluids about % years ago were
in charge of a wooden toy factory
known as the Kennard Manufacturing
company and the ouija board was one
of the ~devicessthey made to entertain
the young. 1t quickly won tremen-
dous popularity and so overshadowed
the business of the concern that the
plant was largely devoted to the max
ing of the ouija board.

OF
WASTE MATERIAL
Secretary Alexander OF Department
OF Commerce Makes Some
Timely Suggestions.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 3O-(Speci-
aD-In discussing the reclamation
of waste, Secretary of Commerce AL
exander makes the following n
cement:
"Spring is here and with it comes
spring housekeeping. The housewives
will, in cleaning out the house, throw
away or burn great quantities OF
waste. The lessons learned during the
war should not be forgotten; let il
be borne in mind that the reclamation
of waste is a problem which is not
only fitted for war times but fol-
the times of peace as well. The ar.
gument which may be advanced from
time to time that the utilization OF
waste material in times other than
war is not necessary, is fallacious, be-
cause it is very essential that some
means of offsetting the H. c. L. be
found.
"Do not waste, waste-but turn it
back into the channels of commerce
You will be surprised at the tidy lit
tie sum of money that can be derived
by turning over all character Of ole
paper, rags, rubber, metals, and OF
her odds and ends to the junk deal.
ers who will in turn start this waste
back into useful trades.
cit has been estimated that the val
ue of unreclaimed waste material
throughout the United States in the
form of paper, rubber, metals, etc.
is about $500, 900 200. Fully ninety
per cent of this material can be re
claimed through the proper efforts.
"The Department of Commerce has
on hand a limited number of publica-
tions on Waste Reclamation which it
will be glad to send interested per
sons"
