This particularly among most firms getting war contracts. For instance, Curtiss Airplanes has re- ceived more than $1,O0O, ,OOO, 600 in war orders - orders which re- quire no great amount of sales manship by Guy Vaughan, president of Curtiss. Yet his salary has been upped from $2S,- 800 in 1885, when selling airplanes was much more difficult to $175,- 900 last year.
 The increase was made possible by war contracts, yet the Sen ate Finance Committee now blocks the Presidents plan to take $780, 900 of this back to the govern ment.
 Here Is a list of some other firms getting juicy war orders, and the salaries paid their executives:
 American Bosch Corporation, with many war contracts, pays its president, D. F. Hess, a salary of $lOO,OOO, though the company made only $890, ,0o0 last year.
 The American Machine & Foun- dry company, pays its head, R. l.. Patterson, $166,SO0; the Ameri- can Chain and Gable company pays w. B. Lashar $12O,5OO; w. F. Wheeler $72,OOO and w. T. Morris $50,240.
 The American Rolling Mill Co.,, nays Calvin Verify $122,0OO; the BOhn Aluminu mand Brass Co.,, pays c. B. Bohn $142,00O and P. A. NIarkey $122, 2,0O0; the Budd Wheel O., pays Edward G. Budd $10O,- 900; and Cerro de PaccO copper pays H. Kingsmill $75,00O.

Selected Poem
THE BABY

THE BABY By Harold G. Ridlon, Jr., in the Boston Post) The Jones down the street a ways Have gotten something new, I heard it from the lady Who lives next door to you She said the new arrival Was as red as red can be, He was colored like the cherries When they've fallen from the tree. His eyes were little diamond drops, His lips were berries fair, His tiny ears were rosebuds, His infant fringe of hair Looked just like wind-tossed chan upon solid shiny place, And all his features helped to make up A baby's angel face And when he smiles his eyes shine out Like beacons on the sea. His dimple's leave c face that's nled With shining infancy. Ills tiny hands gre symbols Of The strength he feels within And which, with Heavens guiding help, Will let him fight and win. The smile upon his tiny face when first he goes te sleep ys evidence that dod himself Hls ytelI long wtli keep.

o. Will placing a silver spoon in glass vessel prevent the glass from breaking when boiling water IS poured into 1t?
 A. It is commonly believed that 1t will, because the metal ahSorhs and conducts away part of the heat, so that the glass is not expanded as much as it otherwise would be. Sil- yer is said to be the best metal be- cause it is 8 better conductor of heat than most others. The efficacy of silver, or any other metal in this respect Is doubtful, however, because the quantity of heat that would be absorbed by it is almost negligible compared with the total quantity of heat in 8 glass full of boiling hot water.
 @. What is the Loch Ness Mon- ster?
 A. Witnesses on the shores of Loch Ness, Scotland, reported see ing 8 strange creature in the lake during the autumn of 1883. Reports about its appearance conflicted. It. Comdr. R. T. Gould, R. N., in his book "The Loch Ness Monster" reached the conclusion that 1t was some form of sea serpent which could live in fresh water.
 e. How long had Floyd Collins been dead when his body was re- covered from Sand Cave, Ky.-
 A. Physicians estimated he had been dead at least three days. o. What is the speed Of lightf A. In l94l a new measurement showed light travelling at velocity of 1S6, ,272 miles per second, l2 miles per second less than the previously accepted value.

 But friendship, one discovers. can be kept as green by correspondence, as in person. Greener, sometimes.
 There is something leisured about a letter. And in that leisure one has time to put things in the proper phrases, time to mention how glad one is to have heard from 6 friend. time to say how are you and how are the children and do write and tell me about all the family.
 Maybe the somewhat inaFticulate public will make 8 virtue of neces- slty and become good letter writers not, perhaps as Madame Dc 6ey- igne was good or Lord Chesterfield but at least better than before.

It might be difficult to estimate closely Waterbury's population as of the present day, but it's safe to say it certainly has eclipsed top World War records. There are hundreds of newcomers in town at the present time, many of whom will be- come permanent residents. Every indus trial upturn does that for community.

Agencies Asked Not 10 Put
Girls on Niqht Work

The Civil Service Commission
yesterday sent out circular to all
departments and independent agen-
cy heads urging that Federal
agencies not assign women en-
ployes under 18 years of age to
night work.
Sixteen-year-olds are now allowed
to work in the Federal Government
by an order of the Civil Service
Commission brought about by the
shortage Of clerical and other office:
workers. However, the Commission.
calls the Federal Governments at
tention to District law which pro-
hibits women under 18 from work.,
ing from pm. to am. The Com
mission stated that the Federal Gov
erenment should establish standards
equally high for its own women en-
ployese, and not assign women under
the age OF 1s to work on second and
third shifts.

Future Era Of Peace
Leads in Popularity in.
War Reading Room
Assistunt libruriun
Tells Roturiuns of
Wide Postwar Interest

The section Of the Public Library's
war reading room devoted to books
about postwar planning is the most
popular in that busy room, Ralph A.
Beals, assistant librarian Of the Pub
lie Library, told the members Of the
Rotary Club yesterday.
Mr.. Beals was guest speaker at the
same luncheon meeting of the club
at the Willard Hotel at which Lo-
retta Young, the movie star, ap-
peared on behalf of the War savings
bond campaign. Miss Young, after
speaking briefly, later did rushing
business in stamps and bonds, ac-
companied by autographs, at q table
just outside the dining room.
"Mein Kampf" Leads.
In addition to lively interest in
the nature of the peace to come and
the particular place they will have in
it, people are showing in their read
ing concern over the forces at work
against them, Mr.. Beals pointed out.
"Mein Kampf," the Hitler bible"
for the German people, in which he
outlined his theology and his plans,
still remains the most sought single
book in the war reading room at the
library. Volumes dealing with the
forces, the nations and the persons
active in the war drama also are
vastly popular. John Gunther's IN
side Europe" for instance, was read
in brief period by a cross section
of Washingtonians - clerks, tech
nicians, stenographers, machinists,
detectives, executives and attorneys.
Books on U. S. Popular.
Books about America also are
coming back into popularity" Mr..
Beals said. These include historical
works and volumes about government
and geographical areas.
The library's greatest need, Mr..
Beals said, is for a section devoted
to literature on occupational guid-
ance.
New officers indicted at the lunch
con meeting were M. X Wilberding,
president; Albert w. Atwood, vice
president; Warde B. Stringham,
secretary; w. Paul Hoffman, treas
urer, and Wilfred B. Putnam, SER
geant at arms. Algernon p. Reeves
is the immediate past president.
