Minnesota Is Near
Top In Road Projects
approved by Government
load Contracts Awarded

Minnesota ranks second in the
United States in the number of
state highway projects financed
from Federal funds which has been
approved by the United States Bur
eau Of Public Roads.
This announcement has been re-
cedved by N. w. Elsberg, state high
way commissioner, from the Bur
eau of Roads, based on the last
available tabuIation made at Wash
ingtoR-
This tabulation, covering pro-
gress up to about the last of Sep
tember, shows Maine leading all
other states with 127 highway pro-
jects approved by the Bureau of
Roads, and Minnesota next with 123
approved projects. Since these to-
tails were assembled, the number of
approved projects has increased
materially.
Minnesota now has approximate
ly S3,OOO,0OO of road projects under
contract and this week is launching
a 100000 program of Federal inn
provements on secondary roads,
largely new routes added to the
state trunk system by the 1888 leg
islature.
Much Of the secondary program
win be carried out by the highway
department on a day labor basis as
a result of new ruling of the U. S.
Bureau of Roads eliminating con-
tract requirements on secondary
projects. This action was taken in
an effort to speed up employment
of men The department hopes to
have 1900 men at work on second
airy roads before the end Of Octo-
Der. Probably $500 Minnesota men
viii be at work on highway jobs
this month, engineers estimate.
The first work under the emery
ency Federal program began with
a letting Aug. %. and road employ
ment has been growing steadily
ever since.
Road Contract Awarded
Last week the highway depart
ment awarded its fifth group OF
road contracts with emergency
federal funds. Sidteen prospects in
various parts of the state were in
Guided. amounting to $4S6,919. The

 Greatest Regret
 MT. Schombel, who came first to Juneau as chief radio man in the navy in 1918 to be in charge oi the radio station here, said that his greatest regret in leaving Ju- neau was severing his connection with the Juneau Volunteer F'ire Department of which he has been member for the last 15 years Since the departure of E. M. Brad ford about six years ago MT Schombel has been Assistant Chiei of the department.
 For about eight years after leav- ing the radio service MT. Schombe was employed as electrician at thu Alaska Electric Light and Power Company which he left to. oper his own shop.

AL SIMMONS IS BIC HOPE
 OF SOX CLUB

CHICAGO, Jan. s1. ' On the broad shoulders issuing north and south from Al Simmons ears rest the hopes of the Chicago White Sox.
 The former star ouiielder of MT. Connie Maek's Philadelphia Athletics is expected to lift MT Comiskey's Chicago baseball in vestment into the blue chip class from the ignomy of the cellar to a pennant.
 Praised by Johnson
 Simmons, who with Jimmy Dykes and Mule Maas stole the front page thunder of the world series when their acquisition by the White Sox was announced, is ''one Of the greatest natural batsmen of tn; decade according to Walter John son.
 Jchnson, ecently deposed a: manager of the Washington Sena- tors goes on to toss more boquets at the White Sox.
 Chicago is taking definite steps to put to an end the supremacy enjoyed by the Eastern clubs sinct 1921.
 Sox Will Profit
 As I see it. the Sox canno, help but profit by the acquisition of Simmons, Haas and Dykes. Jim- my Dykes has the fight and hustle , that should inspire more than oRt rally, and Haas is a smooth, fin ishsd outfielder who would if 1 in snugly on any up and coming ! team
 The Big Train said he looked for the game to possibly re- establish the White Sox as pow. CT in the American League
 But of course it must be re. memhered that Johnson is out O a job. and no doubt has one cal to the ground and has heard ru- mored that Lew Fonseca may no be manager of the White Sox { great while longer.

By OSCAR LEIDING

LONDON, Jan. 31- Guglielmo Marconi, envisagas great things to fdevelop from his latest radio re- search.
 His experiments deal with the lharnessing of tiny electrical waves called micro waves-less than one meter long.
 Marconi has found it possible to provide radio communication fraa from electric disturbances, unaffected by fog, and offering a high degree of secrecy due to the sharp dirsetional qualities. Waves Put To Practical Use
 The detailed story of his re- search was told here by the in- ventor before the Royal Institution of Great Britain.
 First example of the practical use of micro-waves. he said, is furnished by system installed for a 12-mile communication link between the Vatican City and the Fopa's palace at Cassel Guam doilo, near Rome.
 Tt provides" Marconi said, the first example of what will be, in my opinion, new and economlcll Il means Of reliable radio communi- cation eminently suitbale for use at places separated by moderate distances
 Experiments Begun Years Ago
 He explained that the problem of utilizing the very short waves was not a new one to him, some Of his earliest experiments Is years ago having been devoted to them.
 Systematic study was started Is months ago and by October, 1881, he was able to give his first dem- orstration.
 Tn the experimental work, spec ial receivers and transmitters were devised. The system makes use of a reflector antenna made up oi series of horizontal tubes not unlike mlniture ladder bent into smooth curve known as 3 parabolic reflector
 Marconi explained that electric lnagnetic waves under one meter in length are usually referred to as quasi-optical waves, the gen. eral belief being that communica- tion with them is possible only when the two ends of the radio circuit are within visual range. One Experiment.
 Using 57 centimeter waves from a station at Rocca di Papa, sig nals have been received aboard Marconi's yacht "Electa" will be- ycnd the optical range, tomorrow
 In August, communication wa kept up to beyond 5S miles but at 72 miles, instead of fadIrlg away to inaudibility, the signals assum- ea a show and desp fading and maintained an average intensity i up to 110 miles from Rocca d Papa. They become progressively weaker then, and were heard for the last time on the yacht 125 miles away.
 In one test, the angle of recep- ton was investigated by tilting the reflector. The conclusion that was reached was that the waves from the distant station came tc the receiving station from hor- iHGntal direction.

Geneva Envoy Gets
Hitler Arms Orders

BERLIN, May 18 O.N.SO
Gratified over the world reception
accorded his plea for peace and
equality, Chancellor Adolf Hitler
moved swiftly today to translate
his words into action.
He summoned DR.. Rudolph
Nadolny. chief German delegate
to the disarmament conference at
Geneva, and charged him with
the task Of laying Germany's
offers and proposals in behalf of
European peace before the arms
parley.
Nadolny was told that the
speech of Chancellor Hitler. which
pledged Germany to support OF
President Roosevelt's disarma.
ment proposals and adherence to
the Macdonald plan if other
nations will act similarly, will
henceforth serve as the German
platform at Geneva.
Nadolny will return to Geneva
this afternoon authorized to in
form the world powers that the
statements of President Roosevelt
and Chancellor Hitler make
immediate action to reduce the
worlds war machinery man
datory.
While p1edging Germany's sup
port to the British and American
plans, Nadolny will insist that re
tention of Germany's Nazi storm
troopers Is necessary to combat
the menace Of communism. Hi
instructions are sufficiently elias
tic, however, to permit negotia
tions for reorganization of thC
German army itself.
Chancellor Hitler is mos
anxious that the Disarmament
