MAYOR TO AWAIT.
 |BOARD'SACTION.
Plans to Remain Neutral in Filling Vacancies in
 Two Departments

Mayor Vincent A. Scully said to- day that he would make no attempt to interfere in filling vacancies now existing in the health and welfare departments and that the appoint ments were entirely up to the board directing the two city bureaus. The mayor expressed confidence that each board would choose an able and qualified candidate.
 In discussing the vacant position of clerk of the welfare. board, Mayor Scully said he presumed that the board would take all factors in- to consideration when fixing the salary. The former clerk, Martin F. Hayden, now welfare superinten- dent, received $2,750 a year, but sentiment among board members is for reduction of that salary. It is pointed out that MT. Hayden had been with the department for l0 years and that his experience gave him Q full grasp of the departments affairs.
 The health department vacancy is in the ranks of school medical inspectors. One of the seven, pr. Frank J. Hill, left the city recently to enter public health work in Michigan.
 In making no recommendation as to the appointments, the mayor is following the same procedure that he adopted in regard to the ap- pointment of welfare .superinten- dent. He left the matter up to the welfare board, and MT. Hayden was chosen.

 Annual Awards
 The delegates will be looking for- ward to the announcement Friday of the results of the associations s annual contest for newspapers This year, 1,O85 publications in Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, and every state in the Union except Nevada have been grouped according to size and level of the schools and submitted to a board of judges. For the past five years the Argus has attained a third place rating in its own class which, according to MT Mccarthy compares very favorably with the ratings of other school publications in New England where journalism is still, for the most part, strictly extra curricular activity.
 The Argus has been member of the association since its inception sixteen years ago and usually sends a delegation to the convention. Tn recent years, local students have taken an increasingly active part in the convention proceedings. Two years ago, Joseph Nolan, Argus sports editor at that time, conducted @ round-table discussion for sports writers.

Berlin. The scientific world
mourns the loss of one of the
great pioneers of wireless tele-
graphy, Count Arco, who passed
away here in May. Georg Will
helm Alexander Graf Won Arco
was born in 1869, in Upper Sile-
sia. The scion of distinguished
family of nobility, he first enter
ed a military career and served
as an officer in the old imperial
guards. His technical and scienti-
fc inclinations, however, prevail
ed over family traditions, and he
left the service to study at the
University and Technical College
in Berlin, where he became as
sistant to Professor Slaby. The
two were the first in Germany to
experiment with wireless tele-
graphv. In 1890, Count Arco was
engaged as engineer by the Ger
man General Electric Company
which had started to develop the
possibilities of wireless tele-
graphy. Count Arco and Profess
sor Slaby had succeeded in send
ing wireless messages over ever
increasing distances, attaining
100 miles in 1901. The Siemens &
Halske Company, competitor
/ of the German General Electric,
meanwhile had started to COM
mercnalize wireless system de-
veloped by Professor Braun. In
/ stead of wasting their energies in
competition, the two companies
cooperated and in 1908 founded
| the now world-famous "Tele-
funken- -Gesellschaft", of whicE
Count Arco became the head. He
and his firm built the great wire
less station at Nauen and also
played leading part in the deve-
lopment of radio broadcasting,the
wireless telephone and television.
| In 1921 he broadcast. for the first
time, an entire opera - Madame
Butterfly - from the Berlin
Opera. He also was the first to
establish perfect wireless tele-
phone communication between
Germany anh South America and
the Far East. Count Arco has
made many important inventions
and mas written and lectured ex-
tensively in his field.
