Shortage Of Sugar May Halt
Making Of Angel Food Cake

Rumor is rife in the Washington
baking industry that angel food
cakes may vanish from bakery dis
play shelves
Angel food is one of the big sugar
consuming bakery items. according
to George Furzer. president of the
Retail Bakers Association of Wash
ington. His association met last

Mr.. FurZer said today that Mr.
Deitz gave them little hope for the
future Bakeries here have been
awarded a cane sugar quota set on
paper at 80 per cent of the pur-
chases last year-but not a pound of
the March allotment has been de-
livered Mr.. Furzer reported.
With cane sugar and molaSses
strictly rationed. local bakeries have
been experimenting. with Satisfac-
tory results, in the use Of three
substitutes, which are difficult to
get in large quantities. The substi-
tuteS are:
l. Honey. Almost all of this was
swept up when the sugar shortage
became apparent, Mr.. Furzer de-
clared
2. Corn sugar. Produced In Amer
ica, there is no reason why the
Nation could not have ample sup
plies of this sweet. except that it
has been hitherto scorned, Mr.. Fur
ger said. In appearance it is like
granulated cane sugar with finer
crystals, but in taste it is not so
sweet. Baked in breads and rolls
it yields beautiful gold brown

night and day to boost output.
3. Glucose This sirup is a by

much neglected because of an evil

Henderson Is Optimistic
On Rubber, Executive Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
PITTSBURGH. March 11-Presi-
dent John l.. Collyer of the B. F.
Goodrich Co. painted an even black
er picture of the rubber shortage
than Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson in a speech here last night
before the Cornell Club.
Mr.. Collyer said Mr.. Hendersons
estimate that the United Nations
will finish l943 with l47000 tons of
rubber was optimistic for the rea-
son it would be approaching a
miracle TO produce 100000 tons of
synthetic rubber in 1943"
The executive said rubber inter-
ests have recommended that plans
to produce 100000 tons of synthetic
'ubber each year be increased to pro-
vide 100000 tons. He added that
even the production of 400 900 tons
cannot be expected until 1914
In 80 years" he said. Germany
has not yet successfully used syn

District Government
Cleanup Aid for

Columbia Heights Unit
Calls for Pickup
Service for Month

The Columbia Heights Citizens
Association last night requested that
the District government cooperate
in the salvage campaign by provid-
ing for the collection of scrap ma
terial.
The association, meeting at Cen
tral High School, unanimously ap-
proved a proposal of its president.
George H. Brown. that the District
extend its traditional Cleanup
period" this spring to approximately
one month, and that certain. days
be set aside for the collection of Sc
lected articles, salvageable for the
Nations war effort.
Hit Present Plan.
Members of the association de-
clared that present plans for the
proposed salvage campaign are in
adequate. 1t was pointed out shat
citizens in many localities must
find it difficult to obtain space for
use as collection depots, and that
the inconvenience of transporting
scrap material to such depots jeop-
ardizes the success of the campaign.
Speakers sharply criticised Dis
trict officials for their latitude
toward the present salvage plan.
which was said to place the entire
burden os the people.
Support Foster Songs.
Another resolution, introduced BY
Alexander Cruickshanks. deplnred
a recent protest of certain teachers
against school books containing
offensive" songs BY Stephen Foster
and other composers. The associa-
ton urged the Board of Education
to approve the books.
Two other resolutions opposed
any increase in the present District
water rate and requested the Capt.
tai Transit Co. to reroute from Park
road south on Fourteenth street
such twO-man streetcars as might
be available between am. and

Before the outbreak of the First
World War, the building of a new
aqueduct was started. This was
known as the Catskill aqueduct, and
1t is one of the great works of mod
ern times.
This aqueduct draws its water
from a river in the Catskill Noun
tains. The river was damned,
making lake with an area of about
IL square miles.
The Catskill aqueduct is not the
longest in the world. but it has a
length of 90 miles, not counting the
branches in New York City. On its
way it rms under several rivers.
Z The largest river crossed by, the
EatskiA aqueduct is The Hudson. To
pass that great river, 1t was neces-
