Complains About Adulteration

Complains About Adulteration
To tho Editor Of The Star:
I Just received my milk bill. It is in
teresting to note that I am paying
$1s q month for something I thought
was milk. but which, in reality, is one
third and sometimes two-thirds water.
According to the recent survey of s. s.
Smith, director of the dairy and foods
division Of the Virginia State DEPART
ment Of Agriculture, the milk in the
Valley region of the State during q
period Of months has been diluted.
Mr.. Smiths efforts to stop the prac-
tice of adulterating the milk consisted
OF 90 letters Of warning being sent to
purchasers and distributors. Since his
paramount desire is ito give all pro-
ducers fair DEAL" MIR. Smith should
be commended by the Virginia State
authorities for being 80 considerate Of
the milk producers who have been steal
ing from infants and children. Would
the State Of Virginia be as lenient with
a man who stole package of ciga-
rettes, or child who tossed q rock
through plate glass Window.

The 1915 production program is di-
vided as follows: $455,000,000 for new
machines; s204 100000 for repair
parts and $3S.OOO,O00 for attachments.
This compares with scheduled manu-
facture in the previous production

$465, 900, 900 for new machines; 1885,

900 for attachments.

farmers will not be able to buy as
will need in order to maintain their
facilities at greatest efficiency, the
War Food Administration reported.
WA said that in 1915 supplies of
new farm machinery, even if manu-
featuring schedules are met, will not
meet essential demands. No more
new tractors, side delivery rakes, com
bines or other haying and harvesting
machinery will be available during the
1915 crop year than were available
during the 1914 crop year.
Because emphasis Is on military
production, no action has been taken
on the supplementary farm machinery
production program as submitted by
VIA to meet farm machinery needs
that had developed among American
farmers after the present production
schedules were set VIA reported.
Current problems of farm machinery
manufacture are indicated by the fact
that for the first quarter of the 1916
production year July, August and
September, 1944) production of new
farm machinery, exclusive of wheel
tractors, repair parts and attachments,
was approximately rs per cent behind
schedule, according to the War Pro
duction Board.

Professional
Perhaps | had better explain how |
came to be in heaven, and thus to
be witness of the entry therein OF
st. Petronius Snobson.
When American mobilization for
the great war of the 194O's began, |
was past military age. | had, how
ever, been honored with the enmity
of the sanctified gentleman with whom
this history is concerned: Mr.. Petron-
ius Snobson, editor of The Daily Yawp.
Unable to have the selective service
regulations set aside or modified to
insure my being drafted but perfectly
able to circulate seven lies about me
for each one l scotched, he planned
and directed against me a frame-up
which, to omit tiresome details, made
my position in my own community in
tolerable.
At that time any group of more
than six Americans included at least
one person who, qualified by advanced
age or physical disability, had over
night become an expert on all ques-
tions of patriotic action. 1t was not
duty, said these people, it was a
privilege to be shot to bits for flag
and country. Up to that moment my
country had never admitted that
possessed even the simplest right;
obviously, then, l could not afford to
decline when it suddenly offered me
a privilege. I enlisted.
My country trained me and sent me
to Europe in time to take part in the
great battles beyond the Rhine. In
one of the infantry assaults which
broke the heart of the Wehrmacht and
ended the war | met German whose
muscles were younger and more agile
than mine. He spitted me on his bay
onet, and | died few hours later,
full of penicillin and of plasma from
contented profiteers back home.
When | next opened my eyes, two
very beautiful young ladies were bend
ing over me- I thought they were
Army nurses-until / saw their wings.
What the devil am I doing here"
I demanded. Then / realized | should
not have said exactly that; the at
mosphere here would not be sympa-
thetic to popular earthly locutions.
But the two angels never turned a
feather. Later l learned that they
were wholly unaware of any such
thing as profanity. The very idea
was strange to them.
How do you feel?" one of them
asked. Her voice was wonderfully
rich and musical.
l moved my arms and legs cautious
ly and, finding that no part of me
hurt very much, sat up. The very
unesthetic wound which had finished
my earthly career seemed to have
healed perfectly. My only discomfort
proceeded from my skin, which ap-
peared to be badly chapped.
1.-THE interstellar winds, you know"
said one of the angels, reading my
minds "They are somewhat inclem
ent at this season"
We'll give you a dinger of an ONT
ment for that" said the other, who
seemed breezier and less formal than
her sister. Meanwhile let's all go

trance exam over with"

The Surete was said to have been
kept so well informed on the para
chute landings that it was alto

The three Britons were just missed

Marshal Schooner, former COM

Czechoslovakia, who agreed to re-
turn and try to get the SS troops

He was disguised with the broken
truce. There has been no word yet
from the party, which proceeded
with headlights on.
The reasons for the SSs return
were allegedly numerous. While the
Allies expected that a redoubt would
be established in Bavaria, the plan
all the time may have called for a
Bohemian redoubt, and many in

still in Prague. But the chief reason
for the rattlesnake attack was the
one-eyed gauleiter, Frank, with his
insane hatred of the Czech people.

Jet-Prope||ed Planes
Faster Than Sound

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., May H.
Undersecretary Of War Patterson
last night predicted that one prod
uct Of scientific advances during the
war will be jet-propelled transport
planes flying faster than sound.
Already, he said, the United States
and Britain have jet-propelled
planes in the 500 0-mile-an-hour class
and only certain aerodynamic prob
lens need to be solved before planes
can develop "supersonic" speeds,
This would be over 700 miles an
hour.
Mr.. Patterson's prediction was in
an address read for him at a con-
ference on research and regional
welfare at the University of North
Carolina.
The peacetime possibilities of ra-
dar, which helped to save Britain
from the Luftwaffe in 1910, al
most outstrips the Imagination, he
said. Electronic devices will sharp
ly reduce" accidents in transporta-
ton and industry, he predicted.
Here are some of the other bene-
fits he foresaw as result of war
time developments:
Jet-propelled engines will not in
crease air speeds but will make air
transportation much cheaper be-
cause they use low-grade fuels.
High-frequency radio has made
detection and tracking of storms
far more precise" He estimated
the country was saved S250,000 900

ings against a hurricane which
