LONDON, Aug. 6—Televislon has now become the prime object of the =- attellton of Muichese Guglielmo Mzu-ccni, famous as the inventor of i; wireless telegrnpliy He ls starting a new series of - televlsLn experiments in Italy with ~ his nilczo-wave apparatus following his return there from England.

With short waves in the neigh- borhood of 60 ‘centimetres. he hopes to have less trouble from interfer- ence and atmospherics.

Ghost images. due to the double reflection of radio waves from the . layers of the atmosphere which act as a mirror, will also be less fre- quent.

The tests will be entirely 01 an . experimental nature, and will have iio eflect on broadcasting.

Signor Marconrs yach‘. Elettra, a filéatiugfl-radio laboratory. m been refitted out for the.‘ experiments", ___~“I shall startkwlth slflirt distances *- probably between Rapallo and El- x- ettra," Marconi" said in an interview here. "If these tests prove success-

“ful, the distance between transmit-

ter and receiver will be increased."

Short range of clear signals is the biggest hurdle television inventors now are confronted with. “The next step in my new experi- ments is to see what effect more _ power-pat thehtrarlsmitterv will have upon distance." '

Marconi said he was not interest- ed in experimenb in connection with the stopping of airplanes by special rays, a matter which other engineers have brought into the limelight by their claims of the de- velonment of "death rays."

“This could only be done." he do- clard. "by either preventing the ignltim spark or upsetting the tim- ing oi the engine. I think that with the modern method of screen- ing it would be possible to over- come iii."

Attack Official At Soccer Match

JOHANNESBURG, Bouth Africa. Aug. 5--(C.P.)-After a football match in Benoni between the "Eleven Experienced" and the Dunswart "Rainbows," supporters of the latter team attacked the President of the "Experienced" and thrashed him into insensibility.

‘.'.'.‘.The president, a. native named fllohnston, told the l/Pfliifiirflte in the Benoni Court the only motive

' ‘that he could suggest for the on- slaught of the "Rainbow" support- ers was that one of their best players had left them and joined the "Experienced."

Eleven supporters of the "Rain- bows" were charged with assault and four of them were ultimately found guilty and fined $12.

Johnston was beaten with sticks and recovered his sensesin hospital.

Couch Grass Eradication

Couch grass is probably the most. ‘prevalent and lllOall pernlcnus weed in Eastern Canada. It is a per- ennial, prcpiglited to some exlent by seed but more especially by un- derground root stalks, and is coli- seqiiently exticiiiely dlfilcult to er- adicate. Few peeple realize the en- ormous quantity; of couch gross root stalks which may be found in the soil. According to investigations conducted at the Central Experi- mental Farm at Ottawa, the weight of roots has ranged from 1,531 pounds t; 6,997 pounds per acre. This weight is equal to that of a very heavy crop of hay and hclps to erplaln why it is so dlfllcult to remove or kill all the roots. A book- let on the subject has been prepar- ed by Dr. E, S. Hopklns,»D:minion Field Husbandman and is issued by the Dominion Department of Agri- culture, Ottawa, to those who desire it. In it the eradication of couch grass is thoroughly dealt with, ‘the principles underlying the methods ‘of attack and the methods of erad- icatizn themselves being explained in detail. as for example (l) re- moving the roots from the soil by cultivating and drawing 0i‘! the field; (2) starving the plant by re- moval of top growth; (3) smother- ing the growth of the weed by a smother Crop; <4» drying the root-s on the surface of the soil. and (5) using chemicals to kill the plant. Ineffective methods are also des- cribed.

Civic Holiday Is WidelyiHeld

(By the Canadian Preu)

Thousands of Canadians in On-

tario and Western Canada today observe civic holidays-originated in Toronto 66 years ago. While modes of transportation have changed, Canadian citizens will celebrate the holiday in time- honorccl fashion, picnics, sports. and a quiet day at home.

Records reveal a Toronto city council meeting on Aug. 6. 1869. de- cided a day of recreation was nec- essary in August and set aside Wednesday, Aug. 18. as a public holiday.

But the decision did not meet. with unanimous approval. One mer- chant protested on the grounds idleness should not be encouraged. He argued against additional holl- days, stating two years before (Con- federation year) a hbliday had been created by setting aside July 1 as Dominion Day. The majority of citizens failed to agree with the merchant, records showing the first civic holiday was enthusiasti- cally observed.

Up to i875 the August holiday was proclaimed according to the decision cf the city council. In that year the council fixed the first Monday in August as the civic holi- day and the ruling has been fol- lowed since.

Other cltl°s in Ontario not to be outdone by Toronto adopted the ideo. and today a. large number of cities celebrate civic holiday but not all on the first Monday of the month. The movement spread to Western Canada-uni about 20 years ago Winnipeg inaugurated the holiday on the first Monday in August with Edmonton following after the War. saskatoon and Cal- gary have half holidays. the Sas- katchewan clty in observance of Fair Day and the Alberta centre on Stampede Day.

The holiday, however. is not cele- brated in Quebec, the Marltimes or British C lumbia.

Foxes and crows have been re- sponsible for loci recently among young turkeys in some sections o! Lads and Lanork counties of On-

New England Fishing Industry Faces Crisis

(Aaecciated Prone)

BOSTON, Aug. l -— Edward H- Cooley. manager of the Massachu- setts Fisheries Association, said to- night the New England fishing in- dustry faces one of its most serious crises in recent years because of the proposed reduction on the duty on Canadian nah.

The proposaL-he said, now is un- der consideration tn Wc-zhlfllton i" connect‘ with negotiations look- ing to a new trade treaty with Can- ads.

"Serious concern is being felt here," Cooley said, "that President Roosevelt may yield to pressure to reduce the duty, which would con- stitute {major threat against one of New England's basic industries The industry in this section em- ploys 20,000 men and spends mil- lions of dollars every year‘ in equip- ment and repairs.

"We have lodged protests with every member of the New England delegation in Congress. We are re- lying on public opinion to help de- feat the proposal."
