An absolutely novel idea in traffic
control. the Wave-Oathe. a revolv.
ing light screen inside the traffic

and can be adjusted so as to meet
the individual needs of different
traffic junctions.
The new invention is different
from other traffic lights. in that it
can be seen from practically any
angle. and its circling lens arrests at-
tention from any point. Norwaik has
been made the official testing city
for the Wave-O~Lite. and the suc-
cess of the system here will be sig-
nificant for the start of the national
distribution. The inventors. cages”

HARTFORD.—-(AP).—A call for
a meeting'of the Republican state
central committee to be held at the
Country club. h‘armington at 6
o'clock. standard time. next Tuesday.
was issued yesterday by Chairman
.1. Henry Roraback.
The urposes of the meeting are to
fix the time and place for the state
convention for the nomination of the
Republican state ticket and also to
determine the time for holding the
caucuses and primaries for the
selection of- delegates to the conven-
tionand to the congressional. county
and senatorial district conventions.
The time. of the meeting was
arranged largely to suit the con—
venience of. Governor Trumbull. who
returns Thursday or Friday from
the governors‘ conference in Wyom-
ing. Mr. Roraback said. The gov-
ernor will ledve next week for a
three weeks' vacation at Moosehead
Lake. Me. \ '
"i‘o conform to party rules. requir-
ing the lapse of a certain period be-
fore the caucuses and to the state
law. requiring a. certain lapse be-
tween nominating soaventlons and
election day. it will be necessary
for the stats committee to 'put the
stateconvention in the week begin-
ning September 5 or the week be-
ginning. September 12. Since Wed-
nesday and. Thursday are the usual
convention days. that would narrow
the possibilities dow n to Sep-
tcmberfpnd for 15 and 16.
It is customary to alternate be-
tween, Hartford and New Haven in
one; the place or the state conven»
tion. The last state convention.
which omlbated Hiram Bingharn‘
for..Un ted States senator. was held
in Barucrd and there appears to be
a growing sentiment for making this

vention. ‘
