research contracts with the Naval
Bureau of Ordnance, by the APP
piled Physics Laboratory of Johns
Hopkins University at Silver Spring,
Md, and 20 associated industrial
organizations and universities.
The Navy said these units have
proved conclusively during the past
year that the ram jet is a practical
method of achieving high-speed
flight at high attitudes. The first
successful flight was made June 13.
last year, at Island Beach New

A flying stovepipe" ram-jet
airplane engine that has been
flown at supersonic speeds up to
1,500 miles an hour-or 25 miles
a minute-was revealed by the
Navy Department yesterday.
Produced primarily for propelling
guided missiles pilotless flying
bombs-the ram jet engine has been
used only in pilotless experiments
SO far, but it was said that it can be
used for super-speed airplanes.
An important feature is that it
can be produced cheaply; it is moth
ing more than long stovepipe, re-
quires no machine precision work,
and has no working parts. AS a
matter of fact, the first model was
made out of the exhaust pipe OF a
Thunderbolt plane.

BITTER. THE BELLWETHER

Butter has disappeared from the
market and there is no doubt in
the public mind as to why it has
disappeared. Price ceilings have
stopped its production. Shortages
have occurred for similar reasons
in countless lines during the past
few years, but always the true
facts were clouded in controversy.
When retailers sought correction of
ceiling prices that blocked pro-
duction and distribution. it was easy
for the OPA to inSinuate that they
were callously encouraging infla-
ton by insisting on eXorbitant pro-
fits. At last an example is before
the people, about which there is no
question.
It would be silly for the OPA to
accuse all the farmers in the coun-
try of being profiteers-that won't
get butter. Neither viii d pretty
looking price tag. And yet the
OPA Administrator calmly states
that "OPA is vigorously opposed TO
any price increase for butter. You
can make that as strong as you
Ike"
Apparently as far as OPA is con-
cerned-and many retailers have
suspected it for a long time-price
statistics are more important than
production In the case of butter
the people are supposed to cheer
because the line" has been held
on butter so successfully that there
is no butter. The OPA might as

AS long as the country continues
to live under a system of rigid eco
nomic control, it cannot expect
maximum production and distribu-
ton. Shortages and initiation will
increase, retailers and manufactur-
ers will be powerless to stem rising
costs, and the vicious circle of pri-
walton will grow tighter and tight

Carrots Offer Much
As Wholesome Food

Carrots offer much in appetizing
color, fine flavor and nutritive value.
To make the most of vitamins,
minerals and flavor, home eco
nomists offer the following cooking
suggestions.
If carrots are peeled, peel thin, or
scrape no more than skin deep.
Young tender carrots may not need
to be peeled. Just enough water to
prevent sticking to the pan is all
that young tender carrots need. Old
er ones need enough water to cover.
Have the water boiling before put
ting in the carrots. Cover the ket-
tie to speed the cooking, save fuel,
and conserve vitamins.
Cook only until tender. Young car
rots cook in IS to 20 minutes, older
ones in 20 to Is minutes. Slicing or
dicing shortens the cooking but may
mean greater loss of vitamin c.
Variety in seasoning helps prevent
monotony, if carrots are served fire.
quently A little lemon juice over the
top, chopped parsley, or tender
onion sprouts, or chopped onion
heated in a little fat, are faVorite
-seasonings for this vegetable. Left
over drippings from cooking meat
are good for pouring over carrots

GREAT STORIES FROM
LITTLE STORIES

A nationwide reduction in air eX-
press rates ranging as high as l3
per cent for shipments Of higher
weights travelling the longer dis
tances, became effective January l,
1916.
1t is Just such undramatic an
nouncements as this that find their
way into the back pages of the
press, day after day, and year after
year, which finally add up to great
stories. In this case, they add up
to hundreds of giant transport
planes winging through the sky day
and night, earring millions upon
millions of pounds of cargo on pre-
cision schedule truly great story.
But the day by day developments
the venturing into the unknown, the
little stories behind such great
stories, receive far too little atten-
ton.
Mass movement of cargo through
the air had its inception twenty
five years ago in rickety old plane
which made hop of few hundred
miles with a token" load of ex-
press The cargo was in reality
symbol of events to come, or so
the officials. of the Railway Express
agency, VIZ initiated the expert
ment, hoped The technique and
equipment of flying had to be great
~ improved. Express had to grow
on its own merit as a private ven
ture Rate schedules had to be
worked out on a practical basis
to attract customers and at the
same time justify the effort.
Promotion and sound business
Judgment on the part of those whose
business it was to transport prompt
ly the special shipments entrusted
to their care, combined with the
urge to pioneer, were the elements
that Put the planes and the car
goes in the sky They are the same
elements that created the pony eX-
press of yesterday, and tomorrow
will create other great stories of
progress in all branches of industry.

Cigarette prices were on the way up again in Waterbury today. Within the next few days, all popu- lar brands will be selling at 20 and 19 cents pack, instead of the previous 19 and 18 cents.

 The move toward higher prices for smokes started when the Ameri- can Tobacco Company raised its wholesale prices Monday. Philip Morris, Ltd, followed suit the same day, and yesterday New York wholesalers and jobbers notified all outlets that other brands will cost more beginning today.
 Most local stores have been selling cigarettes at Is cents a package, but the new increase will boost it to 19 cents. Some retailers, already getting l9 cents, will be charging 20 cents for pack of 20 cigarettes.

 We are progressing on time in the preparation of the sites" MT. Whitlock said. "The biggest concern ;s getting the units here"
 Miss Nancy Jane Delaney, execu- tive secretary of the Veterans Ad- viSory Center, member of the Housing Advisory Committee, said that 1900 preliminary applications were forwarded to local veterans seeking housing but only 474 of these had been returned as signifi- cant of the number desiring housing at the proposed project.
 A definite priority basis will be established for parceling out the units to applicants, Miss Delaney said. For example, a disabled vet eran with children living in Sub- standard quarters now will be given first priority.

 Seek Pact Chonoe

About 140 office employees and technical workers at the Cleveland plant of the Chase Brass & Copper Company went on strike yesterday in support of their demands for con- tract changes. The strikers, repre- scented by the Office and Profession al Workers Union, C.IO., seek wage increases, union security and a job classification system.

The union, he said, had begun negotia- tlonS with the management after winning bargaining rights in an N.L.R.B. election but the parleys had reached a Snag on wages. The con- pany MT. Chase said, was unwilling to pay a further wage increase in addition to one of $7.40 weekly granted last Spring when an 181a cent hourly increase was made ef- fective in all Chase plants following the strike against the home plant here.
 Production workers, represented by the International Association of Ma chinists, an independent union, went through the picket lines of the white collar workers yesterday and today.

City Ready to Defray Housing Unit Costs

Mayor John s. Monagan yeSter- day assured members of the HouS- ing Advisory Committee and a g. man special committee of the Board of Aldermen that Waterbury will be capable of maintaining its complete proposed 200-unit veterans housing program despite the slash of 48 units by the Federal Public Housing Authority.
 By means of a suggested proposal of the Mayors the city will be able to secure the 48 units at a total cost of $22,080. The amount may be secured by means of transfer from the city'S contingency fund now in amount of $26,000 or by means of transfers from other funds, the Mayor told The Democrat today.
 The Mayors proposal follows closely on the plan to have the State defray half the total cost of erecting the additional 48 units now esti- mated at $104000 instead of the original FPHA estimate of $140,000.
 The City has a1ready expended $60, 900 on grading and preparing the site for the units the Mayor explained yesterday to the commit tee and half this cost should be as stunned also by the State from the Emergency Housing fund established by State Statute. This would leave the city'S share but $22,080.
 The mayor said he did not know just exactly when the units will be erected, depending upon the avail ability of other materials. He prom ised that continued action would be taken until the units were set up. They are to be obtained from Brad ley Field and are barrack-type con- struction that will be remodeled into Individual apartments.
 Henry Whitlock, assistant city en- gmeer, advised the Mayor yesterday that five sites capable of accomodat- ing 40 units have already been pre-

Chinese Face Big Task In RebuiIdino

It will take more than five years to rebuild Chinese schools and achieve pre-war educational stand ards, it was declared by Dr. Hsiao- ch'ien Chang, director of the Huan- Yale Medical College at Changsha, in an address before the University Club last night
 The Chinese educator, in discuss ing the effects of war on Chinese education, pointed out that more than 90 schools were damaged and IA were completely destroyed by the Japanese.
 Universities were transferred to southern China at the time of the Japanese occupation, and there a portion of the students continued their studies, the speaker said. The hardship was severe, and illness in- terfered with plans to continue in many cases, he said.
 About 30 percent of the wartime students were supported by the Government, the university official said, in pointing out that students were unable to contact relatives in the occupied zones for financial aid.
