dated. Later. If there is any room
left, the ordinance says the visitors
may have free access.
Selectman King W. Mansfield said
that the ordinances do not mean all
that they say, nor will any effort be
made to enforce them strictly *ac-
cording to the letter of the new laws.
Mr. Mansfield declared that visitors
will be given access to the beach but
that they will not be allowed to park
their cars on the cost side of the
road which faces the bathing beach.
This area is to be reserved for West-
port motorists.
It was pointed out today that only
one of the five beach ordinances had
any "teeth." Tho'firordlnanoe which

James P. Bradley. secretary of

ing of machines on the beach be-
tween midnight 'and sunrise will not
prohibit bathing. The ordinance is
aimed solely to do away with the
parking of cars and not to deprive
anyone from a midnight swim, he
said.
Members of the committee were
positive ‘in their statements today
that visitors would ont~insist upon
parking there cars where they were
not wanted, but that even though
some should insist on parking there
would be no arrests made for viola-
tion of the ordinance. They declared
.that there was still another course
that they would pursue which they
claim would make it so uncomfort-
abie for the visiting motorist that
he would decide that compliance
with the ordinance would be the
easier policy.

Experts Declare They Have Proof
0i Sky Radio “Ceiling;” New Plans
\l’ASHlNG’lON. Aug. 20.~Expcrts
of the Naval Research Laboratory
and the, Carnegie Institution here
have confirmed the theory that 1111
ionized region exists In the higher
levels of the earth's atmosphere.
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur un-
nounced today. From investigations
condlictcd by the experts in the two
laboratories it appears that this
“ceiling" of the sky lies at a. varying
distance from the surface of the
earth and rises and falls as atmos-
pheric conditions vary.
The knowledge gained from the
observations of these experts, Secre-
tary Wilbur's statement said, would
play an important part in further ad.
vanclng the radio nrt. “One of the
definite results to be obtained." the
statement said. “will be the building
of high frequency transmitting sta-
tions at 11 cost of $60,000 that will'
give better service and longer range
than the present high power stations
costing $2 .000. 000 each and with the
cost of operation correspondingly
reduced." . .
Describing the results of the
experiments made to ascertain the
existence of this “chver .mer the
earth." the Navy’s statement said:
“This layer. the conception of
which originated independently with
viside In England and Kennelly
in the United States. is known in the
scientific world ‘ as the Konnelly-
lleiviside layer. it acts as a defiect-
Ing surface to electro-magnetic
