This time he had to act through
dream that at times became a
nightmare. With Ethel Waters as
his wife. and Lena Horne as
light of love, Rochester was be-
tween the devil and the deep. but
he gagged his merry way to a
happy ending. He sang duet
with Lena, danced a jitterbug
number, and solemnly reformed
his ways with Ethel Waters.
His Lucky Break
1t was on Easter Sunday of
1887 when Jack Benny first in
troduced Eddie as a valet on his
radio program in a bit-part for
the hour - but Rochester lived
on. Benny wrote him into a per-
manent place and the Rochester

for a laugh.

the brake, were simple enough to
master. The rest of it remained a
mystery to him.

Oddly, Rochester likes rhapso-
dies and overtures of the CLASH

preference to the swing-music
that has rung in his ears since
he first went out from the wings
as a chorus boy. He loves good
music. There's no gag about that.

FASTER THAN SOUND

It was an almost incredible feat which Lieutenant Colonel Cass H. Hough technical director of the Eighth Fighter Command of the United States Army Air Forces performed on two occasions with AIneri- can fighter planes He travelled 780 miles hour faster than sound We used to think, generation ago. that speed of mile minute terrific. The Army test pilot covered space at the rate of 13 miles min ute. ./:>.
 Lieutenant Colonel Hough did it first last fall in the P38 Lightning and repeated the performance last winter in Thunderbolt-two very dissimiar types of new American fighters. It was graphic indication of the excellence of modern American war craft
 As the speed of sound is reached, the atmosphere begins to take characteristics of soldy Plane speed can be increased only through almost geo. metric increase in motive horsepower. The final 50 100 miles an hour of plane speed be eked out only through tremendous increase in engine capacity
 Of course Lieutenant Colonel Hough did not de pend upon his engines to attain speed of thousand feet a second Not yet we building plane pable of flight at speed even approaching 780 miles hour although the Lightning and Thunderbolt have top speeds of approximately 400 miles hour Hough's speed was attained in vertical vertical dive begun eight miles up, and utilizing to the fullest the pull of gravity in fve-rne plunmet descent.
 In such dive, the plane enters the denser atmos phere the earths surface, the propeor is more of hindrance than help Incapable of pulling the ship downward at such speed, 1t only contributes to the air resistance which limits the velocity of fall
 Naturally it takes superlatively good ship to dive at 78O miles hour It has to have superb aerodyna mic design to fall so fast and outstanding mechanical characteristics to be able to withstand the vibration of such terrific speed and the pull of centrifugal force when the pilot attempts to out of the dive But

Commander Takes Over
Effective With August
Publication Tomorrow

Announcement is made of the
appointment of Commander Wen
dell Phillips Dodge as editor of the
Marine News, effective with the
publication Of its August issue COM
ing off the presses the 25th of the
month.
Commander Dodge formerly was

United States Naval Reserves until
the passage of a new law by Con-
gress in 1889 limiting age-in-grade,
and when no promotions had been
made in his class and rank for sew
eral years. Except for this law some
years would still have kept Com

as an authority on world trade and
sea power.
In becoming the editor of the

turns to the field of journalism he
first entered after working as q
young civil engineer in the building

the bed and the river to the surface

will have destroyed religion so that
there will be nothing left of it ex-

versions to the Roman Catholic
