Elder Michaud, two of the original

Peacetime Use for

Research Engineer Turning Up
Interesting Ideas.

SEATTLE. - Once more Ameri-
cans will see familiar sight,
rockets red glare.
This time, however, according to
Willy Ley, rocket expert and re-
search engineer for Washington In
stitute of Technology, it will be put
to peacetime uses.
Chimney sweeps, mountain climb
ers, fishermen whose pursuits
were little altered by industrial rev.
olution-will find even they can't

Improved methods Of rocket man.

made unlimited postwar uses feas-
ible.
Ley suggested roaming factory
chimneys, emergency safety lines
strung by slipping Alpinists. and
even surf casting up to 1000 feet BY
reclining, weak-armed fishermen
all by rocket.
Already it is recorded that Swiss
engineers have used rockets to
string wires over mountains, break
up hail storms and deliver mail.
The day is near when mail be-
tween London and New York may
be delivered by rocket, Ley thinks.
Automobiles by a reversed rocket
action may be braked instantly on
icy hills.

Other uses that suggest them

Sharp Increase Noted
In Overall Food Costs

WASHINGTON. - The bureau
of labor statistics reports that on
February is overall food prices
were 95 per cent above August,
1889; 81 per cent above year
ago, and only three per cent be-
low the all-time high of last De-
cember after President Truman's
general decontrol order.
1t said prices dropped 0.8 per
cent from mid-January to mid
February but that they probably
have jumped again since then 1t
said the decrease undoubtedly
would be wiped out by sharp in
creases on the wholesale market.
Wholesale prices jumped about
8 per cent between February /
and March Is.
BIS attributed the decrease
chiefly to declines in eggs, dairy
products and meats. But these
decreases were more than Offset
by a rise in fruit, vegetable,
cereal and bakery products.

Pepeo Earnings Cut
By Two Brownoufs
During Last Year

Net income of the Potomac Elec-

S3,464,56s, a decrease of $6os. .s76, or
1897 percent, from the previous
year, officials reported to the Public
Utilities Commission yesterday.
The 1916 net was reduced approx
mately $200, 900 by two brownouts
during the coal strikes Of April-May
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, officials
said. The 1945 tax adjustments and
the 1916 brownout losses substan-
TALLY account for the decrease in net
income for 1916 compared with 1945.
The company's net in December
was $232, 1896, a decrease from De-
cember, 1945, of 1855 sol, or go per
cent. Company officials explained
that an unusually large income tax
adjustment was made in December,
1945. Tax savings of $309. STA for
the year 1945 resulted from the filing
of consolidated income tax returns
by Potomac Power and the WASH
