ROCKET PLANES
MAY CROSS SEA
Heylandt Predicts Flights at
40,0O0-Foot Altitude With t
Passengers.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN.-Transatlan air passen-
gers of the future may ride at an alt-
tude of 10000 feet at a speed beyond
present conception in a rocket plane
driven by a combination of liquid air
and liquid fuel
Such is the prediction of DR.. Paul
Heylandt. German authority on liquid
gases, who estimates a rocket plane
could fly from Berlin to New York In
six to eight hours.
Our tests with the rocket car de-
signed by Max Waller have demon
strated that the combination of pure
liquid oxygen with liquid fuel. such as
alcohol, gasoline or fuel oil, produces a
continuous recoil power with which
much greater speeds can be attained
than with any airplane motor yet de-
vised,'' DR.. Heylandt told the Asso-
ciated Press.
I'VE expect soon to attach two of
these motors, weighing about IL pounds
each. to an all-metal baby plane and
to test out their possibilities.
Eventually we shall start right from
the ground with the rocket motor only.
We believe that with rocket motors we
shall be able to reach the stratosphere,
in which. as there Is practically no re-
Sistance, the plane can race along at
speeds hitherto unknown. For the real
efficiency of the rocket motor begins
only on speeds exceeding 500 miles an
hour.
THE reason why the rocket motor
can go up into the stratosphere, 10000
feet and higher. is the fact that it needs
no air to suck in. The stratosphere
plane will have no propeller. Passen-
gers viii be supplied with liquid oxygen
for breathing purposes.
Another reason why we expect to be
able to ny across the ocean without
having to worry whether our fuel will
last is the fact that the weight Of our
motors Is SO negligible that we can lug
along any amount Of fuel oil and liquid
oxygen necessary" ...

The porpoises cause heavy

Professor Saves
II. Beet Growers
$lO,OOO,OOO- Yearly
DisprOves Old Theory by
Proving ''TOps'' Are
Rich in Sugar.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SYRACUSE, N Y. February 20. -
Ten million dollars gained simply by
shifting the position of an agricultural
knife one and half inches-this is the
latest offering of science to national
wealth.
Americans can save this fortune
merely by cutting of the tops of their
sugar beets a little higher up, says DR..
Ernest Reed, professor of botany at
Syracuse University. in announcing his
discovery last night. At present, the
tops cut of and thrown away contain
one-tenth of the sugar crop, with a
prospective value at wholesale prices Of
approximately $4,000 900.
Another product of Prof. Reeds
hands, also announced tonight, is a
nameless new plant, cross between a
sugar beet and a Swiss char1. It is
considerably larger than sugar beet
and produces more sugar.
1t probably will receive no name
until it proves it can run natures
gantlet of the survival of the 11tteSt.
If the new beet is fertile enough to
multiply like other good beetS, DR.. Reed
plans to introduce it to growers In
Michigan, California, Colorado and
other Western States.

by the planting of trees and shrub
berry and the erection of a memorial
fountain was urged by the Chevy
Chase Citizens Association meeting
last night in the e. v. Brown School
Connecticut avenue and Mckinley
/, street.
The association had previously ap-
pointed a committee to cooperate with
a committee from Section of Chevy
Chase, Nd, and q bill is now pending
in Congress providing for memorial
fountain to the late Senator Newlands.
Cooperation of the Maryland authoTi-
ties is necessary, 1t was pointed out,
because of part of the circle being in
that State.
Memorial Gateway Approved.
Plans of the District to provide a
circle and memorial gateway to the
Capital at the junction of Wisconsin
avenue, Military road and western
avenue were approved.
Changes approved in the aSSoc1a-
tion's constitution included extension
of its western boundaries to WiScon-
sin avenue at the District line and
relinquishing jurisdiction over that part
which is now within the territory OF
the Forest Hills Citizens Association.
A resolution presented by Fred A.
Emery providing that only bona noe,
permanent residents of the District
should be appointed Commissioners,
excepting only the Engineer Commits
sioner." was discussed and referred to
the executive committee for considera-
ton and to be presented for action at
the March meeting. Mr.. Emery, In
presenting the resolution, said there
was no personal element involved, but
that the principle should be adhered
to of having at the head Of District
affairs, either Commissioners, Supreme
Court or other court judges, district at
torney or postmaster, none but those
who have had years of residence here
and who are without voting rights else
where.

Murders at the Circus = By Arthur Hoerl

On this occasion he had invited
Dale to join him and they
were, as usual, discussing the
inexplicable tragedy which
hung over the circus. One Of
the kitchen help brought the
food. Swarney kept two dogs
of whom he was extremely
fond. They happened to be
In the wagon at the time.
When the food was brought in
the dogs jumped about their
master begging for something
to eat. Swarney played with
them q little while and finally
took some sliced meat from the
platter before him and made
them bark for it and then Jump
up and grab it. Swarney and
Dale laughed over the antics
of the animals, when suddenly,
as they watched them devour
the food q startling thing hap
penedl
One Of the dogs crumpled to
the floor Of the van, kicked Its
feet out helpleSsly and rolled
over deadl
For several moments the two
men sat as If paralyzed. The
dread thought Of poison whirled
through Dale's brain. He felt
the chill Of the breeze coming
through the window as it
caressed his moist brow. Thank
Godl he had not taken a mouth
full. Suddenly, above the haze
Of thoughts he heard Swarney's
voice. It sounded almost like
a roar.
"We've got to get that fiend!"
Swarney rushed out Of No. z.
Dale followed. They ran across
the grounds to the galley. The
helper who had brought the
food was quickly found. His
story was simple and straight
forward. He had two messeS
to deliver: Adele, who nearly
always had dinner in her wagon.
had Cap Wiegle with her {.
the man came straight from her
to No, wagon. No, he had not
left Swarney'S food for an In
slant. There were no other
stops on the way. Yet, he was
positive no one had touched the
food after he left the galley, be-
cause It was never out Of his
hand.
