HOOVER STARTS
AN ICE SURVEY

Washington, June 3.-The Food Ad-
announced today that it
was making a survey of the ice situa-
ton throughout the nation in order to
prevent shortages in any of the larger
cities and uncalled-for increases in
the price to the consumer.
The destruction of ice plants by fire
and the breakdown of machinery, it
was felt, might create serious situa-
ton unless all precautions were taken.
Federal Food Administrators in all
states therefore have been asked to
make a survey, aand with this infor-
nation it is believed that quick reliet
could be given to any community.
Plans will be made to build up and
maintain sufficient amount of ice to
assure a proper supply during the pc
Rod of hot weather.
Ice is frequently shipped from one
state to another, and the Food Admin
istration is anxious to arrange for en-
change Of information between Adj
ministrators of neighboring states.
However, Administrators are being in
structed to report to Washington any
marked shortage or surplus.

MERCHANTS MEET
TO PUSH SALE OF
THRIFT STAMPS

Members of the Retail Merchants
War Savings committee are meeting
this afternoon at the Algonquin club
for the purpose Of mapping out a
campaign to push the sales of War
Savings and Thrift stamps through
the stores of the city. This meeting is
for the purpose of organizing the re-
tail merchants, and a large delegation
is present.
1t is the purpose of the committee
to start the Thrift Stamp sales Wed
nesday in all of the retail stores of
the city, and to continue weekly sales
in which Thrift stamps are made a
feature, urge the signing of pledge
cards, and generally to aid the cam
paign. Every merchant in the city,
big store and little, is invited and
urged to assist in this movement.
Bridgeport is called upon to raise
about $4,000 a day through the sale
of Thrift stamps, but at present the
sales fall far short of that amount.
To raise the $3,20O,000 which Bridge
port is asked to lend to the govern
ment during the year there must be
many more stamps sold.
Posters advertising the War Savings
and Thri1t stamps may be o5eained by
any merchant from W. T. Hincks,
chairman of the general committee, or
from Isaac Moss, chairman of the Re
tail Merchants committee.

NEW LAKE IN
NORTHERN CONN.

A water basin that will contain a
lake 40 miles around is one of the
projects of the Connecticut Light &
Power Co. in building its big, new
dam across the Housatonic river. This
basin is to be used as a reserve for
the Housatonic river during the sum-
mer months when the river usually
runs extremely low. This project will
be a great factor for developing the
upper portion Of the state for sum-
mer resort purposes.
All the land necessary has been
purchased. The section that will be
flooded to a great depth is said to
comprise that portion of New Fair

one followed by another at an inter
val of several seconds.
The whole thing explains itself by
the complicated phenomena of acus-
tics, in substance as follows:
The shot of the cannon makes
two noises; that of the explosive wave
and that of the wave of the shock
resulting from the blow of the pro-
jectile upon the air.
The explosive wave follows at first
the path of the projectile with a
greater velocity than it's own; then
at the end of very short time it
spreads out and goes at its own We
locity. If the path is a very much
curved, this velocity can be greater
than the horizontal velocity of a pro-
jectile going at a greater speed.
The wave of the shock follows the
projectile, forming behind it a wake
or aerial track similar to the wake
of boat in the water. At the top
of the wake, that is to say in the line
of the curve, the wave has an equal
velocity to that of the projectile; but
upon the sides or outer edges of the
path it is proceeding at its own We
locity forming thus a series of waves
quite complicated.
Other HYPOTHESIS
We have heard of the projectile of
Baxin.. This mb-thrower was used
in 1871, at Saint Ouein in the bat
teries of the Captain of the F,rigate
Bray, under the auspices of Admiral
La Ronciere LIE Nourry. This pro-
jectile had a total weight of so Kill
tos; the last rocket was grooved in a
way to assure the continuation of di-
rection after the final division of the
rockets The calculations gave an in
itial velocity of 335 metres; falling to
230 metres at the summit of the para
bola. The shell then left the barrel
with an initial velocity OF sos metre.
One cannot with an eXactitude fig
ure upon the number of large guns
possessed by the enemy One hears
all sorts of things even that one of
their guns has exploded. The thing
is quite possible as one can see that
the enemy artillery might have been
constructed with the normal co-ef-
ficient Of safety considerably lower

ried by prisoners or by refugees and
it is prudent to accept them with re-
