five submarines and thousands OF

and a few minor ships. He ad-
mitted that five other warships
had been badly damaged.
Superiority of the German air
force in keeping ships from land

NO OFFICIAL INFORMATION

Editor of The Citizen:
THE congressman said he had
no official information, but in
Dictated strongly that the RFC is
reluctant to approve the applica-
ton now before that corpora
ton.
You can bet your sweet life
that the congressman Pat Can
nom has mo official informa-
ton" that the RFC has said a
single word or indicated in the
slightest degree that it is going
to turn down the application of
the Florida Keys Aqueduct Com
mission for a loan to run a pipe
line of fresh water from Florida
City to Key West.
And as sensible man or a
sensible woman you naturally
wonder why this same Cannon,
admitting he has mo official in
formation. could have ''indi-
Gated strongly" that the RFC is
reluctant" about anything.
The ''story" about the proposed
pipeline of water was sent out by
the Herald Bureau in Washing
ton and is published in The Mi
ami Herald today. There is not
one word of news in the "story"
or single definite statement and
it was not touched by the press
services. In the first of four
short paragraphs Cannon Eek
pected"; in the second paragraph
Cannon indicated strongly; in
the third the navy department sis
expected, and Cannon under
stood, and in the fourth Cannon
and Chairman Vinson ARE ex-
pected".
In my newspaper work of
more than a third of a century, !
have never seen in print so glar-
ing and so lurid a piece of prop
uganda as that STORY" is. I have
heard condemnations right and
left since the war started in Eu-
rope about the fishy propaganda
of this and that nation, but in
that propaganda there has been
definite statement, now and
then, but that Herald "story" is
made up wholly of blah and
hooey and what have you.
Key Westers should know that
there is a gang of Miamians that
is trying to wreck the Florida
Keys Aqueduct Commission, and
that gang has a couple of dis
gruntled war horses in Key West
that are Tuning and sweating and
paving in their attempts to stir
up dissension among us. Three
of those men, two of them in Mi
ami and one in Key West, are
white hot with resentment be-
cause they tried and tried and
tried to be appointed on the COM
mission and were turned down
flatly, and since then have kept
their tomahawks sharpened.
Key Westers should know also
that the navy department has
not said single word that it has
any intention whatever of run
ming a pipeline of water to Key
West, and Cannon, in all his
booming about this matter, has
not pinned any affirmation
whatever on the department.
All the propaganda whispered
around Key West that the RFC is
going to turn down the loan be-
cause of legal flaws in the bill
creating the commission has been
rotten politics. Before the bill
was introduced in the legislature
the best legal minds in ITALIA
haSSee said every provision of
the bill is constitutional, and the
firm of the best bond lawyers in
the country, with offices in New
York, says the bill is constitu-
tional.

VIII you please tell us what We
should wear at this concert-eve-

fact that the concert is in a gym

evening dress may be out of place
In answer to this, the gymna-

ance. The audience should wear
evening clothes in honor of the

1t is probable that the most i'm

Use Pressure
Cooker for
Brown Bread

Some pressure cookers are re-
tired TO the basement after the
canning season is over when they
could be a worthwhile investment
IL they were used the year around.
Cookers speed up the preparation
Of meals-stesmed puddings and
breads to mention just two foods.
And during this season of the year
when young people are engaged in
many outdoor sports nothing
tastes better than hearty foods
baked beans and brown bread, cas-
lily prepared in a pressure cooker.
Homemade brown bread served
with the beans is a real treat and
is easily made. especially with a
pressure cooker. Here Is a reliable
recipe which requires l cup white
flour. l cup yellow corn meal, l
cup graham flour, 2 teaspoons
soda, / teaspoon salt, cup mo-
lasses, tablespoons fat tmelted),
IL cups sour milk or thick but
termilk, egg slightly beaten and
1 cup seeded raisins.
Sift the flour, cornmeal, soda
and salt together. Add the graham
flour and raisins. Add the molasses
to the beaten egg, melted fat and
milk. The liquid is added to the
dry ingredients beating until thor
oughly mixed. Pour into we'll
CREASED molds or inset pans. Fill
two-thirds full. Place rock in bot
tom of cooker. Put about two
inches of water in bottom of
cooker or Gamer, place inset pan
or mold on rack and steam with
petcock open for Is minutes. Be-
gin to count steaming time when
steam issues strongly from the
petcock. Then close petcock and
cook for so minutes at Is pounds

ing period open petcock slowly and
when pressure gauge registers

This same recipe may be used IL
the bread is to be steamed on top

oven, but allow two or three hours
for the steaming.
