Outside Rome, Pope Plus XII,
reciting mass in the summer pa
pal palace, was told of Marconi's
death and Immediately dedicated
his prayers to the repoSe of the
scientists soul.
Marconi's white -gloved hands
clutched a rosary against the
medals of many lands emblazoned
on his breast. Death was caused
by heart paralysis and the word
of his passing was carried to ev-
cry reach of civilization by the
invention he developed Al years
ago.
Death found Marconi working
on research which he hoped would
prolong mans life and ease his
sufferings-and, at the same time,
be a terrifying implement OF war.
Since 1885 he had been expert

The whaleboat racing crew
from the Seventh District will
race against crews from the
Fourth and Sixth Districts on
July 10Th, at the annual Pony
Penning on Chincoteague Island,
it was announced yesterday by
Boatswain Palmer Midget, OF
Pea Island Station, who will act
as coxswain for the crew.
In all probability, the whale
boat from this district will be
towed to Chincoteague by picket
boat or supply boat, and the crew
will make the trip in automobiles.
It was originally intended that
the Seventh District crew would
not race until Coast Guard Day,
August 4, but the crew has devel-
oped so nicely that Coxswain
Midget believed it capable OF
racing before that date. So the
invitation to race at Chincotea-

This crew will compare favor

Price changes on several popu-

"Just as I was getting things
working smoothly and knew
enough about the demand for

Manager Reid. "An increase of

BUSINESS MATTERS

Balancing the budget depends
upon tax collections and for this
reason the Government has a vi
tai interest in the condition of
business. One now hears insiders
predict moves to conciliate bust
ness and to encourage private en-
terprise to assume the burden
that the government has been
carrying. OF course, in some Of
fetal circles most of the ills of
business are balanced upon BUSH
nest itself, but the chances are
that some concessions will be
made.
